Editors note: Since the bankers have put Trump in control of the “digital control grid“, the evolution of the QFS will be accomplished more readily, allowing more abundance highlighted by personal control of wealth.
Former HUD Assistant Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts warns that technologies such as digital IDs, smartphones, QR codes, AI, digital payments, and expanding data-center infrastructure are converging into what she calls a “digital control grid.”
She says she predicted in 2024 that banking interests would support Trump’s return to office to accelerate the buildout of this system, particularly through data centers and digital identity initiatives.
Fitts also contends that concerns about election fraud, immigration, and online child safety are being used to advance broader digital ID adoption.
According to Fitts, the end goal is to use digital money to expand financial control beyond monetary policy and into fiscal policy, giving financial institutions unprecedented influence over taxation, spending, and economic governance.
Former Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts:
“throughout our lives… we’ve been seeing the train tracks of digital control built up around us”
“The bankers have… put Trump in… to get the final pieces of the control grid… particularly the data centers”
“The conservatives are going to use election fraud and immigration and child online safety and these other ruses basically to force everybody into the digital ID they tried to get with vaccine certificates and didn’t get to it”
This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report, is taken from a Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley presentation posted to Rumble on May 16, 2026.
Partial transcription of clip
‘Ather thing we didn’t notice is throughout our lives, we’ve been seeing the train tracks of digital control built around us. So we’ve seen digital assets, digital transport, smart homes, driverless cars, QR codes, bar cards, barcodes, digital elections, AI, digital IDs, smartphones.
“Each piece of this seems really convenient. The problem is, when you synthesize it together, it’s like putting up three sides of a corral around a herd. When the fourth corral or the fourth fence clicks in, suddenly we’re in a whole new world. I want to talk about what that fourth line looks for.
“The first thing I do want to say in the summer of 2024, I have a show every week on the Solari Report called Money and Markets. And I said to John Titus on Money and Markets, mark my words, the bankers— This was June 2024. The bankers have decided to put Trump in and use him to get the final pieces of the control grid.
“The conservatives are going to use election fraud and immigration and child online safety and these other ruses basically to force everybody into the digital ID they tried to get with vaccine certificates and didn’t get to it. As soon as the administration started, to my shock and amazement, they went at lightning speed to build the digital control grid, particularly the data centers.
“The blizzard of actions were coming so fast and furious that I started to have to keep a list just to remember them. Finally, we put up a collection that we update every week. It’s called the Fast Approaching Digital Control Grid.
“At the Solari Report, you can see the updated list to see what’s coming together. Okay, so where is this all going? Where’s the financial coup going? Our government in the United States is a balance of power between the bankers and the people’s representatives.
Since 1913, the Federal Reserve and the bankers. So the Federal Reserve is essentially. The train tracks are run by 12 private banks which are privately owned by the banks. They run the financial train tracks. They run the sort of, monetary policy. Then we have the people’s representatives. We vote for representation. They determine the taxes and how those taxes will be spent.
“And it’s implemented by the executive branch. So you have this balance of power. The bankers run monetary policy, and the people’s representatives run fiscal policy. And that’s what the revolution was all about. It was taxation with or without representation. Where they want to go is the bankers now want to control fiscal policy. With digital money they have the technology now to institute control of both monetary and fiscal policy. And that is where they are going.”

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! What a Weekend Edition roundup I have for you today: how TrumpRx grew to 800 discounted drugs covering four out of five of all American prescriptions, while the media guarded the affordability narrative like monks guarding a relic — in total silence; how Ohio’s Bhutanese community is challenging Minnesota’s Somalians for the Medicaid fraud crown in a tournament absolutely nobody asked for, and why the actual cure might have been invented by church ladies centuries ago; how a CIA officer allegedly dreamed up a fake doomsday spy program to finance a literal dragon’s hoard — 303 gold bars, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches, presumably so he’d always know precisely when his pension was due; how Senate Democrats got so upset about Bill Pulte that they raised the drawbridge on their own beloved FISA spy powers, which now expire next Friday; and how Trump just handed Pulte a battering ram, pointed him at ODNI’s gates, and suggested he release everything about 2020 on his way through. Major dot connecting.
Obviously, the prescription drug revolution will not be televised.
While the media occupied itself diligently covering the Iranian World Cup soccer team’s unfortunate visa problems: TrumpRx.gov added 160 new drugs, such that the online marketplace can now fill four out of five of all prescriptions. Not specialty drugs for obscure conditions. Not narrow experimental treatments. Eighty percent of everything. So far, the website has saved patients over $400 million, proving that a lot of folks are already using it. It channels the radical concept that Americans shouldn’t pay more for the same drug than people in Paris, Tokyo, Dubai, or outer space, for that matter.
The site offers eye-watering discounts on prescription drugs of 400%, 500%, and even 600% percent on some drugs, and the program is still expanding. This threatens Democrats and corporate media for several reasons. First, while TrumpRx is currently only marginally better than other cash-pay drug-coupon options, if it continues to grow, it could radically transform the traditional insurance industry, especially the so-called “Obamacare model.”
Second, the optics are horrible for Democrats. It counters their dumb “affordability” narrative. And seniors, who consume the most drugs, are a powerful voting group. The last thing Democrats need —especially right before the midterms— is for older Americans to feel like Trump’s branded drug website is actually working forthem. So Dems’ best strategy is to ignore it.
The few Democrats who do engage sneer that the nascent TrumpRx site is little better than other existing drug coupon options like GoodRx, and that some people —mostly union members— who enjoy “diamond-tier” Obamacare plans without annual deductibles, often see negligible co-pays for almost all drugs, especially when generics are available. So, Democrats argue, TrumpRx offers them nothing.
But TrumpRx is finally starting to lap even the top Obamacare plans as it rounds the corner. Its inventory increasingly includes popular drugs that either lack generic options or simply aren’t covered under Obamacare-style insurance, like fertility drugs or Ozempic-style GLP-1s taken for weight loss instead of diabetes management. Assuming things continue on this trajectory —and there is no reason to think they won’t— at some point, doctors will start advising their patients to first check TrumpRx.
If this works, it could slay an Obamacare-created class of drug middlemen called “Pharmacy Benefit Managers” (PBMs), which have wildly distorted American healthcare markets, led to sky-high insurance and drug costs, and earned 1000% profits for big insurance— all thanks to a law passed without a single Republican vote, and ironically called the “Affordable Care Act.”
Embrace affordability.

Somalians now face unexpected competition for the top spot as national champions in Medicare fraud. Yesterday, local Ohio affiliate ABC-6 reported, “Bhutanese community responds to claims of Medicaid fraud in Ohio” I’ll bet you didn’t even know there was a “Bhutanese community” in Ohio.
The Bhutanese who settled in Ohio are largely ethnic Nepalis, a people called the Lhotshampa —say that three times fast— who were driven out of southern Bhutan in the early 1990s and spent years enduring refugee camps in eastern Nepal. Starting around 2008, the United States agreed to resettle scores of them, and agencies initially scattered Bhutanese families into many different cities.
Over time, they remigrated and condensed. They followed their relatives and friends to Ohio, since the insular ‘Bhutan community’ did not integrate well into American society. That second migration helped coalesce a series of smaller clusters into one of the country’s largest Bhutanese communities, with shops, temples, and grocery stores transforming Ohio’s (and especially Columbus’) traditional American landscape into something closer to a third-world hellhole.
Needless to say, under Biden’s porous border period, waves of additional Bhutanese joined their countrymen in flyover country.
On Wednesday, the House Task Force on Medicare Fraud issued a press release linking Somalians in Minnesota to the Bhutanese in Ohio. “It’s the same people,” Luke Rosiak, a Daily Wire reporter, testified. “They all have relatives in both places, and they move back and forth.”
“There’s thousands of people involved,” Rosiak continued. “I would say the majority of Bhutanese people are either on Medicaid and home healthcare, or are providingMedicaid home healthcare services.” It’s not just in Ohio; it’s wherever Bhutanese have resettled. “I think Bhutanese people are systematically using Medicaid, not only in Ohio, but also in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, New York, and in other states where they perceive that they will pay the family member and pay for non-nursing services. And those are the two big vulnerabilities.”
To be sure, we lack evidence that everySomalian or Bhutanese refugee is a fraudster. But avoiding unfair over-generalizing does not require abandoning useful generalizations. There is an easy explanation for why certain ethnic groups are more prone to fraud.
Some of these groups fled perfectly awful places in the world where, literally in order to survive, they had to do things every single day that first-worlders would consider deeply immoral. That is the state of life in these primitive, conflict-torn regions. Skills in gaming government systems, like International aid programs, can be the difference between a family’s living or dying. Lying, especially to the government, is seen as a moral good when the majority government is controlled by an ethnic enemy.
For all we know, these folks may have strong interpersonal values of honesty. But they grew up swimming in cultures where institutional fraud is a primary survival characteristic. That kind of modus vivendiisn’t easy to shake. It’s a way of thinking, of being. We can understand it, but we can also seek to contain it, or flat keep it out of our naive communities, which are unprepared to deal with waves of groups that become predatory as soon as they’re plopped into gullible high-trust societies like Columbus, Ohio.
To be fair, refugees from low-trust origin states aren’t the only offenders. Plenty of native Americans have been convicted and jailed for Medicare fraud. And there’s an even bigger problem. That bigger problem is that local officials (usually Democrats) and the local ethnic “community” appear to tolerate, if not encourage, the fraud.
In other words, our public charity layer is actually a low‑oversight, high‑moral‑hazard environment. It invites exactly this sort of gamesmanship, and that invitation is being enthusiastically extended to anyone who can learn to read the rules or hire someone to read the rules for them. Like NGO activists, liberal white women, and entrepreneurial conmen. But I repeat myself.
🔥 I fear that criminalization and even more technocratic tweaking at the margins, however helpful and gratifying, can never actually address the root causes. Not so long ago, the government was not the primary provider of American charity. That duty belonged to local churches and mutual aid societies.
The desire to root out the church in the name of secular “separation of church and state” did not solve the dependency problem. It led to swelling ranks of shiftless indolents dependent on taxpayer largesse. Every few years, after some ‘welfare queen’ scandal or other, it gets pruned by reform efforts, only to be re-engineered and continue to grow.
Look, government charity is inherentlyinefficient. Programs like SNAP and Medicaid waivers redistribute hundreds of millions of tax dollars through complex rules, multiple intermediaries, and distant agencies; every layer adds more people with their hands in the till, from administrators to NGO contractors to shell providers.
Oversight is mostly paper and algorithms —claims reviews, occasional audits, electronic visits and verifications— rather than human beings who actually know the family, the patient, and the neighborhood. That’s a fundamentally different model from that of a pastor or deacon who lives in the community and has personally witnessed a particular situation for years.
In today’s environment, fraud isn’t an anomaly. It’s an emergent property: whenever incentives are strong and detection is weak, opportunistic actors —both native and foreign— fill the cracks in the system to overflowing. This week’s House Oversight hearing was one more confirmation that this is now baked into the system.
Traditional church‑based or mutual‑aid charity relied on high levels of information and close social proximity. The people dispensing help usually knew the recipients’ personal histories, families, and habits; if they started showing up with suspicious stories, givers noticed quickly.
Proximity also created informal discipline. If people abused the system, they risked not just losing aid but losing standing in their social world. Fraud carried a reputational cost that today’s anonymous, card‑swipe welfare programs lack.
But now, thanks to grasping politicians manipulating our charitable impulses, America has baked a rotten social lasagna. Layers of interlocking statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions “protect” welfare recipients’ “entitlements” to “benefits.” And increasingly, cheesy politicians facilitate the fraud by intentionally loosening oversight, turning a blind eye in exchange for votes from blocs of “communities” who reward elected patrons.
Every time we try to tighten rules to control abuse, all it takes to justify re-expandingaccess and reducing accountability is one or two sob stories about how deserving applicants found the rules too burdensome, vindictive, or complicated to navigate. It’s a vicious pendulum swinging between the extremes of welfare reform and inevitable enlargement.
And so we get Ohio. A Medicaid waiver architecture so complex that even basic oversight (like noticing 94 companies billing $66 million out of one half‑abandoned building) took decades, viral social media influence, and a House Oversight task force to surface.
The Trump Administration is admirably trying to reheat the spoiled lasagna by doing the things it can control: increasing the cost of fraud and shining a spotlight on the abuses, which creates the political potential for the latest round of reform. I hope it works.
But, paradoxically, the one thing we don’t need is more rules and regulations. Granted, sufficiently significant reform might provide short-term relief for a few years or even a generation. But eventually, bad actors will learn new techniques for gaming the system, while honest folks will find it much harder to qualify for help, and the whole spoiled lasagna will become bigger and even more poisonous and expensive.
It might be too late to get the government out of the charity business. But I would argue that we need reinvention rather than reform. What do you think might work? Let me know in the comments.

Speaking of fraud stories, yesterday, the Washington Post reported an astonishing update to the CIA gold bars story, in an article headlined, “CIA officer accused of stealing gold allegedly created fake ‘black box’ spy program.” The unanswered questions remain unsettled, but now we have even more outrageous and inexplicable detail. Which is just as remarkable a story as the underlying fraud. Just wait till you see how three big dots connect with each other.
I already reported about (former) senior CIA official David J. Rush, who was arrested last month after FBI agents raided his house and found 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million, $2 million in cash, and, as a bonus peculiar detail, 35 luxury watches. But the new details are incredible. According to the Post, agent Rush allegedly created a fake, ultra-classified intelligence program — a so-called “special access program,” or SAP — and then used it as a conduit to funnel millions of dollars for his personal purposes.
He didn’t just requisition the gold. He invented an entire fake spy program.
Here’s how the scheme allegedly worked: an SAP is the intelligence world’s version of a black op— so secret that even officials with the highest security clearances can’t access it without specific authorization. Rush allegedly “read in” two colleagues to his fictional program, effectively making them unwitting accomplices and preventing them from comparing notes with anyone else. He then persuaded one of them to transfer millions of dollars to the fake program through a fraudulent government contract. As one person familiar with the investigation told the Post, with laudable brevity: “He made up a contract.”
The fake operation, it turns out, was designated as “continuity of government” operations — hyper-top-secret plans to keep the federal government running after a nuclear war, cometary impact, or similar planetary-scale catastrophe. Rush apparently used this outrageous cover story to persuade an unnamed defense contractor to buy large amounts of gold. For the government. For continuity purposes. Which Rush then kept in his basement. Good times.
The prosecutor called Rush a “master manipulator” —weird for a spook, no?— who “lied to colleagues” about basic facts of his background and “lied to neighbors” about working as a Navy pilot. An FBI investigation found no record of Rush ever attending Clemson University or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the two schools he claimed on his original CIA job application. There is no evidence he was ever a Navy pilot. At best, he was a mechanic.
Former CIA operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos described the agency’s usual hiring process as “a full-on colonoscopy”— and yet Rush somehow sailed right through it, raising even more unanswered questions, like what on Earth??
The judge ordered Rush to remain in jail pending trial, finding he had the skills, “means, and motive” to flee.
🔥 But here is the most remarkable fact in the entire story: we are hearing about it at all. Normally, a corrupt spook stealing $40 million in gold bars through a fake classified program would be quietly resolved internally. The secretive Intelligence Community abhors embarrassing headlines. They like things buried under national security classifications, in classified basements, handled only by people with clearances, and resolved in sealed proceedings.
Yet this time, it’s front-page news in the Washington Post.
The FBI and CIA have had a famously hostile relationship since the CIA’s founding in 1947 — a rivalry rooted in turf, loyalty, and fundamentally different cultures (cops vs. spooks). J. Edgar Hoover actively opposed the creation of the CIA, and the two agencies spent decades withholding information from each other. One book on the subject is literally titled Wedge: The Secret War Between the FBI and CIA(1994).
The institutional default has always been for the CIA to handle its own internal problems quietly, and for the FBI to stay in its own lane.
That said, the FBI has, occasionally, gone after CIA officers— but almost exclusively in two narrow categories: espionage (selling secrets to China or Russia) and unauthorized disclosures (unauthorizedleaks to reporters). A financial fraud prosecution on this public scale is essentially unprecedented. It’s a historical first.
The Aldrich Ames case (1994) is perhaps the most instructive parallel. The CIA knew something was wrong for years —assets were being burned, people were dying— but resisted letting the FBI investigate one of their own. When the FBI finally got in, it was because the evidence became impossible to ignore. The institutional lesson from Ames was supposed to be: the CIA cannot police itself. That lesson apparently did not fully take.
The fact that the Rush case is now described and publicly prosecuted rather than being quietly buried is the most remarkable detail of all.
🔥 The WaPo’s several articles breaking this appalling story rely entirely on anonymous sources, described only as “people familiar with the criminal investigation” and “former U.S. officials.” There has been zero explanation of how the story came to WaPo, no mention of a whistleblower, no reference to a congressional referral, and no indication that the CIA or DOJ proactively disclosed anything.
Yesterday’s article was bylined by threenational security reporters (Warren Strobel, Ellen Nakashima, and Katie Mettler), which suggests a significant source effort, but the mechanics of how it surfaced have never been revealed. Which speaks volumes.
The other telling detail was that the article noted that NBC News first reported that the CIA had put several officials on administrative leave— meaning NBC had its own separate pipeline on this story, even before WaPo added the “fake SAP” layer. Two major outlets, each with independent sourcing on the same internal CIA scandal, neither of which was given the story officially, suggest a concerted effort inside the government to make this information public.
Obviously, this is an “official” leak.
So: Is this intentional disclosure meant to create political permission for massive intelligence reforms? A Hegelian dialectic, to manufacture the crisis, then offer the solution? Or is the IC simply so out of control that the white hats struck a blow at the deep state, by leaking a perfectly absurd example of institutional corruption?
Obviously, we are having a rare encounter with the spooky world of shadows and disinformation. So we don’t know.
The Post noted that “several of the people familiar with the case said the very government secrecy designed to protect valuable intelligence can be used to hide misconduct.” Duh. One “former top intelligence official” put it even more starkly: agencies use “financial tradecraft” to move around large amounts of money (and gold, apparently) without attracting adversary attention— and the problem, he said, is that “neither do we” know where the money goes.
Obviously, that is a remarkable admission to hand to a reporter. Someone wanted it all over social media.
In a stunning move, every single Senate Democrat (except John Fetterman) plus seven Republican senators voted against advancing the extension of the nation’s enhanced surveillance authorities under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The powers expire on June 12— next Friday. The stated excuse? They are protesting President Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence.
Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Democrats couldn’t simply stand by and vote to authorize enhanced surveillance powers when Pulte “doesn’t even meet the basic qualifications of the law to be director of national intelligence” and has “a history of taking and weaponizing confidential information.”
Senator Adam Schiff (D-Ca.) said Pulte “has demonstrated in his current position (at Fannie/Freddie) a willingness to weaponize whatever information he can get access to.” Just consider the irony for a moment— Adam Schiff, the man who spent four years selectively leaking classified intelligence committee proceedings about Russiagate to any camera he could find, now lecturing gullible reporters about weaponizing confidential information.
If it weren’t for double standards … well, you know.
🔥 But let’s take the Democrats’ argument seriously for a moment. They claim Pulte is dangerously unqualified for intelligence. If that’s true, he should be haplessly ineffective — a mere plaything for the career intelligence professionals who have “six ways from Sunday” at getting back at anyone who crosses them, as Chuck Schumer once helpfully explained.
An incompetent outsider in the DNI chair should be a gift to the IC, not a threat to it. So why the panic?
Here is the 4D chess angle: would it actually be bad if FISA 702 were suspended? Trump has every reason in the world to hate FISA— it was the legal vehicle used to surveil his 2016 campaign. If FISA goes dark, it will have gone dark because Democrats killed it to protest his DNI pick.
As for President Trump, he has repeatedlycalled for ending FISA, then always retreated after pushback. In 2018, Trump tweeted, “This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredited and phony Dossier, to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?”— and called for Congress to “KILL FISA.”
The White House later walked that back, insisting Trump supported reauthorization. That cycle repeated in 2024, with Trump calling to “KILL FISA” and House Republicans revolting— followed by Trump reversing himself and calling for a clean reauthorization.
Curiously, so far this week, Trump has not posted anything about Democrats killing FISA this time. Oddly quiet, no?
Ending FISA like this —making Democrats do it— is not a bad outcome for Trump. He gets the benefit (revenge!) and none of the blame. The Democrats appear to have walked across the rake. Again.
🔥 Now— the third dot. Ask yourself: whyare Senators really so worried? What exactly is Trump bringing the “inexperienced” Pulte in to do? Politico answered that question yesterday afternoon: “Trump says he asked Pulte to gut intelligence agency.” And now we begin to see the big picture.
According to Politico, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that he wants Pulte to oversee massive staffing cuts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. “I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said.
Now, Trump also has reason to dislike the ODNI. Alert readers will recall that Tulsi Gabbard’s Russiagate disclosures showed that ODNI was the command-and-control hub for the operation that politically castrated —and almost took down— Trump 1.0.
The ODNI ran Russiagate. After Trump was elected, but before he assumed office, following a December 9, 2016, National Security Council Principals meeting —attended by Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and Avril Haines— DNI Clapper’s assistant emailed ODNI leaders. The email’s subject was, “POTUS Tasking on Russia Election Meddling.” It assigned them to create “an assessment per the President’s (Obama’s) request.”
A totally made-up assessment.
ODNI led the effort, with CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS in supporting roles. With help from the Europeans, the CIA manufactured the underlying intelligence; the ODNI coordinated, suppressed contradictory findings, silenced internal dissenters, and published the false assessment. Then, the ODNI’s own Inspector General weaponized the whistleblower process to trigger Trump’s impeachment.
Yesterday, the Journal reported Trump ‘suggested’ that Bill Pulte prioritize firing staff who served during the Biden and Obama administrations. Trump also noted that having Pulte serve on an acting basis “gives you more power” to enact sweeping changes— no confirmation hearings, no Senate leverage, no slow-walking.
“Frankly, it might be good for him to shake it up before people come,” Trump casually explained. “Because, if he reduced the size, in conjunction with me, he can do a lot of the hard work, and we wouldn’t have to saddle somebody that goes in.” It’s just common sense.
It was more than common sense. President Trump described a change-agent wrecking ball. It is a strategic maneuver similar to what we have already seen this year, like with Trump’s recent appointment of Todd Blanche as acting Attorney General.
🔥 But there was also a buried lede. It was tucked away, at the very end of the Politico piece: Trump also said he wants Pulte to focus on releasing information related to the 2020 presidential election. “You may find out some things about the rigged elections,” Trump told reporters. When asked by the Journal what information he hopes Pulte will release, Trump replied, “I would say everything — he should look at everything and make a determination.”
Now let’s draw a line connecting these dots. We have the helpfully timed disclosure of an unsupervised CIA officer with fake credentials who ran a fake ultra-classified program for years, stole $40 million in gold, and lied about his entire background— and somehow passed every internal CIA security check.
That story is now —against all odds, thanks to multiple anonymous informants— headline news, not quietly buried inside the Orwellian IC apparatus. It opens the CIA up for major reform.
Senate Democrats were so panicked by Trump’s new acting DNI Bill Pulte, despite his inexperience, that they are willing to blow up their own beloved FISA spy powers, just to protest the pick— which, if it works, hands Trump the FISA expiration he probably wanted anyway. And Trump is suddenly on record saying Pulte’s job is to gut the agency, fire the Obama and Biden holdovers, and release everything about 2020’s stolen election.
The CIA is in institutional disgrace. The ODNI is on the chopping block. The IC is being dismantled from the outside, embarrassed from the inside, and accidentally defunded by the very Democrats who love it most. Whether this happy confluence of events was Trump’s genius or just dumb luck is irrelevant. Geniuses can often be unlucky. But luckyleaders change the course of history.
Either way: Alice, my dear, we’re all the way down the rabbit hole. Kudos to the Q crowd. I told you 2026 would be the Year of Action.
Have a wonderful weekend! Scramble back here on Monday morning, bright and early, for even more delicious, delightful, and spicy essential news and caffeine commentary.

Dearest ones, I am Archangel Raphael and I come to thee today, for you have called me.
You have called me questioning, what do I do when there is not healing when I have prayed, when I have listened? What do I do when my loved one is in pain and I do not know how to help anymore?
Know that I am with thee, I am always within thee. You can think of me as perhaps a button. It seems rather humorous, does it not? An archangel being a button. But use that button as your intention, beloved, to activate me, to ring the doorbell. Are you home, Archangel Raphael because I need you and I will actually be within your very essence.
I wish you to understand that I already am for there is a oneness that it is difficult for you to see in your human form. But think of the waves of an ocean. The wave that is at the shore is the same wave that is in the middle where the whales and the dolphins play. But the intention, the calling, the prayer will activate the healing that is part of your biology that you were created with this knowingness, with this ability, with this power within thee.
You have heard of the many times that healing happens overnight or happens in a second. It can be the same for any. Sometimes there is a reason why it must take a little bit longer and then we ask you to trust that there is a purpose in the delay of the full healing. But know that once you cross over and you understand the power that is within thee, the power that is within us, you will find the joy. You will find the well being that you so desire.
Now, what happens if there are several that come together to activate? You can think of it as a prayer that you wish to bring this healing to activate healing in another. Think of the waves of the ocean. They get stirred up, they get more powerful and then they go back to the calm and the peace.
This is your heritage. Now let me bring it right now. Just command the healing. I am healed immediately, completely. My loved one is healed now, completely. Know that the essence of the green healing elixir is activated in your very blood, you can think of it as that. But it is the essence of the healing within thee, within your loved ones that then may flow.
Now the healing might come to a place where it says I cannot get through and that is when we ask you to look at anything that might be underneath that is preventing. You may even activate if you are not sure what that is and ask that the healing flows.
You feel alone when your body is in pain, when your heart is in pain, when your loved one is in pain. Pain is a signal, it is actually a Love device to ask you, beloved, to look deep within and find the cause. And even when you do not know the cause, you are so powerful that you can ask it to be brought forth so that it may leave, be acknowledged and leave.
Listen to your bodies, beloved, each one of you. Listen to what your body is telling you.
Does it need to stretch? Does the pain in the shoulder say, you are carrying too much? Does the pain in the knee say I am in fear of moving forward? Does the pain that is running throughout your body from a diagnosis say I wish to find the Love within myself? These are not admonitions, they are just ways to help activate you that you know that you have this power. And this power is with me as well that we together may bring you to the state of joy, may bring you to the state of wholeness, bring you to the state of wellness.
Remember the button within.
I leave it in your heart that you may call on me. at all times.
Farewell with Love

No matter what happens, I am confident the Iran war will be a major tailwind for gold.
Here is an overview of how I see the conflict unfolding and its major financial implications.
The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most important energy corridor.
Iran now has undisputed control over Hormuz.
Stripping Iran of that control would require a successful full-scale ground invasion of Iran, a country roughly 40 times the size of Switzerland.
A full-scale ground invasion is unlikely to happen, and even if it somehow does, it is unlikely to succeed.
Iran is therefore likely to retain control over Hormuz.
The US is likely to suffer a historic strategic defeat, no matter how it tries to spin it.
The US was already on the verge of a debt crisis before the Iran war.
The direct and indirect effects of the Iran war are likely to worsen that debt crisis.
The US government will likely debase the currency in an attempt to deal with its worsening debt problems.
The US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency is likely to be lost amid a debt crisis, rising inflation, and a major geopolitical defeat.
As a hard-money alternative to the dollar, gold is likely to be a primary beneficiary.
Investment Outcome #1: The US Dollar Will Lose Its Privileged Position
“When the world’s dominant power that has the world’s reserve currency is overextended financially, and it reveals its weakness by losing both military and financial control, watch out for allies and creditors losing confidence, the loss of its reserve currency status, the selling of its debt assets, and the weakening of its currency, especially relative to gold.” — Ray Dalio
While the US dollar is currently the leading global currency, it was already on a path of inevitable debasement and eventual collapse—even before considering the compounding effects of the Iran war.
The only reason the US government has managed to avoid severe consequences from its inflationary monetary policies is the US dollar’s status as the world’s top reserve currency, thanks to Washington’s military and economic dominance that has prevailed since the end of World War 2. However, as this dominance wanes, so will the dollar’s purchasing power.
The US government’s ability to hide the effects of its rampant money printing by offloading trillions of dollars to foreigners is nearing its end.
That’s terrible news for the US dollar.
As the world digests the Iran war and its consequences, I expect we’ll see a multipolar world order emerge and the US dollar lose its privileged position as the world’s premier reserve asset.
An ocean of capital could flow into gold as the world looks for a sound monetary alternative to the fading US dollar and whatever scheme Russia and China cook up.
That’s why I think the Iran war will add rocket fuel to a major investment trend already in motion—the re-monetization of gold.
Hydrocarbons—oil, coal, and natural gas—as well as copper, uranium, and rare earth elements, are among the most strategically important commodities.
Investment Outcome #2: A Scramble for Strategic Commodities
The Iran war is likely to make the importance of controlling key inputs impossible to ignore, and I expect that to be bullish for companies with access to strategic commodities in stable business jurisdictions—most of all in the US, then in the Western Hemisphere, and finally in more distant US allies such as Australia.
Companies that secure access to domestic or allied sources of strategic commodities will be at a distinct advantage. Relying on foreign suppliers carries significant political risk.
Further supply disruptions of hydrocarbons and other strategic commodities means higher prices. That’s an outcome I think we can bet on.
On the demand side, the US, Russia, and China will likely place even greater emphasis on securing critical commodities and ensuring stable supply chains.
In short, I believe the Iran war will drive both rising demand and unstable supplies, creating a volatile yet opportunistic environment.
Meanwhile, commodity prices are at all-time lows relative to other assets.
That’s why gaining exposure to companies with strategic commodities located in the US or allied jurisdictions could be a winning move.
Conclusion
The Iran war could be one of the major catalysts that accelerates gold’s return to the center of the monetary system.
But it is not happening in isolation.
It is unfolding against the backdrop of sky-high debt, endless money printing, rising geopolitical conflict, and a fragile financial system that may be approaching a historic breaking point.
In other words, the coming shift could be much bigger than gold.
A dangerous combination of sky-high debt, endless money printing, geopolitical conflict, and deep cultural and social shifts is now sweeping through the West.
