THE ULTIMATE WEAPON

The “almost” U.S. Government shutdown provided some temporary drama and distraction, but the focus turns back to the Fed.

In this week’s full-length episode Brent and Jon explore the stealth weaponization of Fed monetary policy and why the U.S. Dollar is not only King, but is also the ultimate weapon.

Who needs a CBDC when the U.S. Government already has one, and uses it secretly to punish the world.
