We’ve been warning you about the BRICS and the fall of the US Dollar for a while now… Everything we have warned you about has happened — and then some! BRICS continues to grow and I am going to continue to sound the alarm: this does NOT end well for the US Dollar. I hope I am wrong. Here’s the latest: This is huge. https://t.co/2EsPpdKTgb — Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) September 1, 2024 KimDotCom explains the significance (which is exactly what I’ve been telling you for months now): Understand the significance. NATO bragged about two military lightweights Sweden and Finland joining its alliance. But BRICS gets NATO heavyweight Turkey with the second largest NATO army, foreshadowing the global shift to a multipolar world order and the end of US dominance. https://t.co/dQXqKydwTK — Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) September 2, 2024 From Yahoo Finance: Turkey has formally asked to join the BRICS group of emerging-market nations as it seeks to bolster its global influence and forge new ties beyond its traditional Western allies, according to people familiar with the matter. The view of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s administration is that the geopolitical center of gravity is shifting away from developed economies, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to comment. The country’s new diplomatic push reflects its aspirations to cultivate ties with all sides in a multipolar world, while still fulfilling its obligations as a key member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, they said. Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey submitted an application to join BRICS some months ago amid frustration over a lack of progress in its decades-old bid to join the European Union, the people added. The bid is also partly a result of rifts with fellow NATO members after Turkey maintained close links with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the people added. Turkey’s foreign ministry and presidency declined to comment. “Turkey can become a strong, prosperous, prestigious and effective country if it improves its relations with the East and the West simultaneously,” Erdogan said in Istanbul over the weekend. “Any method other than this will not benefit Turkey, but will harm it.” The BRICS grouping, named after Brazil, Russia, India and China and South Africa, includes some of the biggest emerging economies. It got four new members at the start of this year when Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Egypt joined its ranks. Saudi Arabia was invited to join, though the kingdom is yet to do that. The group’s further enlargement could be discussed during a summit in Kazan, Russia, from Oct. 22-24, said the people. Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey’s close ally Azerbaijan are among other countries looking to join. MORE: New BRICS Currency Value: $55 Per One BRIC? For the past several months I’ve been covering a story that is very BAD news for the USA and the US Dollar. The Legacy Media doesn’t want you to know about it, but I’d rather you got the FACTS and then let you make decisions on your own after that. Sound fair? Here’s one of my recent reports: DeDollarization Accelerating: BRICS Nations Launch Payment Network — USD Crash Incoming? And now that this is accelerating so fast, I want you to see this.... Where does it all land? What does the "new Financial system" look like? Read this: New BRICS Currency -- $55 Per One BRIC? Heads up folks... We've been covering this story for a long time and it looks like it's about to launch very soon. And the results could be devastating. Depends on your perspective I guess, because GOLD very well could soar! Allow me to explain. We've been telling you about the coming BRICS currency that will directly challenge the US Dollar as the world reserve currency. That's bad...very bad. Reports are now saying the BRICS currency will be backed by GOLD. Remember when we took the US Dollar off the gold standard? Foolish. And it looks like those chickens are coming home to roost. EXACTLY like Bo Polny has been telling us each time he comes on my show. But now let's dig into the details (and be sure to read to the end where I tell you what YOU can do to protect yourself -- you are not a victim or a bystander here, you can take action! More on that below) Here is Jim Rickards explaining how the BRIC will likely be priced: What's the value of the BRICS currency? pic.twitter.com/26oyfoOBWa — Megan ???? (@Megan7560964546) August 9, 2023 And here is another one that claims the BRIC will be valued at $55 USD / one BRIC. Oh my, that is very bad for the US Dollar. You have to watch this: WARNING: Economic Warfare! BRICS nations to launch the BRIC currency.... $55 / one BRIC Will lead to MASSIVE inflation in U.S. dollar, and HUGE loss of purchasing power.

First of all, it's NOT too late! That's the first thing you need to understand. It's not too late but you need to move quickly. You CAN protect yourself. I'm not a financial advisor, but I always say one thing... Don't listen to what they TELL you to do. (That's the misdirection) Just like a magician trying to keep you distracted while he hides the ball in his other hand, the Federal Reserve and all the so-called "experts" will almost always TELL you the opposite of what is sound advice. But you should always watch what they themselves are actually doing.... So what are they doing? Simple: buying GOLD. Just like I've been telling you for the last 6 months! Does it all make sense now? Starting to see the plan all come into focus? Who has been warning you? Me! And Bo Polny! Take action... Here's Why Central Banks Are Buying All the Gold They Can -- And What YOU Can Do! For the last year, central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now, we see why. The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the "elites" and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals. If you've been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you're family, I'm happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love! Precious metals. I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I'm bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you're so inclined... A faith-driven, conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis, their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site. Unlike most companies offering similar services, Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer "virtual" or "paper" gold or silver. With Genesis and their depositories, customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions, Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door. Central bankers aren't slowing down. In fact, nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear, it's understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store. Working with Genesis is the best way our readers can explore the physical precious metals market through self-directed IRAs. It benefits us as well when our readers work with this America-First company. Visit genesiswlt.com or call 866-292-0443 today. Don't wait too long, we might have more bank failures right around the corner. You know what has NEVER "failed"? Gold.  Precious metals.  Indestructible. There's a reason they call it "God's money". Watch this for more: Don't wait until it's too late!

A Labor Day scoop indicated that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) may add election integrity legislation to a short-term spending bill when the House returns to session next week — a move that would likely set up a standoff with Democrats. Punchbowl News reported that Johnson — who released a document earlier this year that warned of a National Voter Registration Act “loophole” and cited evidence of noncitizens on voter rolls in various states — and other Republicans are talking about the prospect of combining an extension to government funding through March 2025 with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The SAVE Act aims to require individuals show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office and pushes states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. It already passed the GOP-led House in July with the help of a handful of Democrats. However, the Democrat-controlled Senate has not taken up the bill since then and the Biden administration formally declared its opposition to it. Recall – the “SAVE” Act (I introduced it – HR8281) passed with 5 Democrats voting for it (and others privately wanting to). If they vote “no” with it attached to a funding bill that funds government to March – it’s pure politics. https://t.co/TQrZDZZBW4 — Chip Roy (@chiproytx) September 2, 2024 Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), the House lawmaker who introduced the legislation, reacted to the Punchbowl News report on X, saying, “Recall – the ‘SAVE’ Act (I introduced it – HR8281) passed with 5 Democrats voting for it (and others privately wanting to). If they vote ‘no’ with it attached to a funding bill that funds government to March – it’s pure politics.” Former President Donald Trump, who is running for another term in the White House, has urged Republicans to pass the SAVE Act. And the House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative that includes Roy, released a statement in August calling for the SAVE Act to be added to any short-term spending measure that may emerge if lawmakers are unable to pass individual appropriations bills. Congress has until the end of September to pass legislation to fund the various arms of the federal government or face the prospect of a shutdown. Democrats may support passing another continuing resolution, but the majority of them would likely not abide by the SAVE Act being attached to it. Some have argued the legislation is unnecessary and would create an undue burden on legitimate voters. Still, the GOP seems prepared for a discussion. In response to the Punchbowl News report, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted to X, “Securing our elections from foreign interference with the SAVE Act is a top priority—and Democrats should have to explain to the American people why they are against it.” Excellent. Securing our elections from foreign interference with the SAVE Act is a top priority—and Democrats should have to explain to the American people why they are against it. https://t.co/YJMrEDVHWN — Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) September 2, 2024   The Daily Wire reached out to Johnson’s office seeking comment on the Punchbowl News report.
