Wow! it took me 2 1/2 hours to read your latest Bright Brief. (I'm not the fastest race car on the track. I like your presentation of the Game Theory attack against the FED. One more thought....What if the sinking of the Titanic and all the other crimes that went on to get the Federal Reserve Act passed were exposed in such a way that all debt the US treasury paid to the FED was found to be usury and illegal, based on fraud and criminality? The US treasury could simply demand their interest payments back. What if the Supreme Court agreed? The federal reserve notes held by the Fed against the Treasury could be cancelled as partial repayment. What would happen then? Bankruptcy? Redistribution of remaining assets? The deep pockets that have pocketed these illegal interest payments over the last 100+ years might need to give the diamonds back to fiat dollar holders around the world. Other countries would, of course need to sue their oligarchs. We would probably need all our new bombs and space lasers to keep kinetic war off the table. It is hard to imagine that Trump and his Superheroes have not already thought this through as a possible gambit in the 5D game of chess.

Given how the election fraud apparatus is abruptly being exposed and shredded, I believe the FED will get its turn, with every bit of dirty laundry exposed. Pam bondi and the rest of the superheroes have all the receipts, which must be presented, each in its perfect time and place. Your setting of Hegelian Goalposts(R) far down field creates foundation for future info deployments.

What happens when the new sovereign dollar (not the federal reserve note) is tied to gold, bitcoin, and other physical assets? All the other currencies of the world that governments produce to be able to print their own money will immediately be discredited. Bitcoin and the dollar will immediately become the currency around the world and fraudulent governments will immediately fall. The artificially high stock market will fall as soon as people realize stocks are no longer a hedge against inflation. This means an abrupt shift from wall street to main street. And what happens when, after the Treasury creates the sovereign dollar, the Federal Reserve goes bankrupt? What are its fiat dollars worth? The transition here will be full of surprises. There's far more debt than there are dollars. What happens when the debt market collapses? We might find there are not enough federal reserve notes to pay off the debt. Corporations will try to use bankruptcy to cancel their debt and keep their dollars. How will Trump, Scott Bessent, and Howard Lutnick navigate this lightening quick transition? What should the Bright Army do? Buy more popcorn!!!!! (I bet you thought I would say "buy bitcoin".) It's not about winding up with the most toys. It's about enjoying the roller coaster.

The Asset backed dollar will merely reverse the momentum of the Ponzi scheme we now have operating against our best interests. By putting our assets to work for us, the debt is paid by putting Main Street and Wall Street on the same side of our balance sheet. The profit motive works for individuals as well as corporations.

Our fiat dollars are going to keep devaluing as long as we borrow to pay for deficit spending. The system is designed to fail! That was the plan from day one, which was 154 years ago. The Cabal never wanted Capitalism to succeed. Marxists came up with a really bad idea for America but a brilliant plan for them to win. Capitalism has survived because we can make money with our profit motive faster than they can pick our pockets with taxation. When we proved that after WW-1, they created the fiat dollar to bring us down. They made the ownership of Gold coins illegal in 1933 and created run away inflation in 1935. Trump has called it quits. Let's stop hurting ourselves with stupidity.

The exact same system that has been used against us can be flipped. Ponzi schemes are designed to fleece the suckers. They fail to use the profit motive by actually investing in America. The Ponzi plan is to just take our money and redistribute it until it fails to generate enough dollars. That is where we are today, but our business is still going well. What is broke is our corrupt government. So, shut it down! Re-open it with no fat and no corruption and generate revenues just like we did before the bankers took over.

Hmmm... I have a hard time imagining a world without a stock mkt... I would think that it would flush out the companies with no assets (23&me types) but cause a pile in to those companies with lots of cash and little debt. Or do you see that as just a step on the way to total nihilation?

Wild Bill's comment here is a good one.

I think there will be a stock market. I'm saying valuations will be based more on real valuation creation, not speculation. A move toward a real global monetary system means people will stop "saving" in stocks, and use them as they were originally intended, to bet on and even support companies with true value propositions over the long haul. This will reward investors AND the companies they invest in, while also stimulating real growth in the US economy for the first time in generations.

When I first opened a 401k that’s what I was taught we were doing-investing based on a companies balance sheet, assets, investment in R&D, etc. It just hit me hard how much that has changed.

Wild Bill's avatar

I think what Burning Bright is saying, is not that there will be no stock markets, but that the measure of value will change radically. Stock markets are always an investment in the future. There is nothing wrong with that, so far as the future is real. Real growth, created by real companies with real employees, real products and real customers. Customers who are happy to buy those real products made by real employees working for real companies, will create the growth that justifies the optimistic investment in the future.

Put another way, Trump's policies will make the markets great again, by making them REAL again. Assets are one measure of reality; so are revenues and profits, so long as the accounting rules are, guess what? Real. Healthy (i.e., real) companies have all of these, because they make real things for real customers.

Get it? It's all about reality. We have been watching the game of mirrors for so long that we have forgotten what truth is. But as Burning Bright would be wont to say, truth is truth. The thing is the thing. Reality is truth. That simple, really.

Yes, we are about to enter the New Golden Age. It will start here in the USA, the world's most powerful economy; but other countries will rapidly also adapt and follow or die. And some might die along the way, the remains to be picked up and put back on their feet by smart investors who see what is real and what is fake.

"Cold hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colours from our sight

And which is an illusion"

We have been following illusions for so long that we have forgotten how to see which is right. But we can learn again how to do this. Those who do will be the drivers of the New Golden Age.

You mention the future value the stock market anticipates. Look at a company on the exchanges and ask yourself, “Is the product offered going to be in demand in 10 years?” The answer is likely “Yes” except for new products that replace the ones made today. In either case, the stock market will be there providing what America needs to prosper in the long run.

Back in 1935 FDR might have used this truth to fund Social Security. The annual revenues could have been invested in the market which had historically generated a compounded growth of 8%. But, FDR was not into Capitalism, was he? He blamed Capitalism for the 1929 Crash and the Depression. He liked the Marxist ideas of Communism and Socialism and based his new system on a Ponzi scheme intended to defeat Capitalism by design. And, here we are 90 years down the road with Capitalism still flourishing in America and his Ponzi scheme bankrupted.

I find this to be exceptionally encouraging, but I seem to be one of a small minority who sees this as I do. Heck, maybe I am demented and looking at this in the wrong way. But, I don’t believe I am demented because that is not in my best interest.

May I add a little to your excellent post? Our industry has flourished even while withstanding the negative influences of our Marxist Ponzi schemes. Think about this, even with inflation of close to 3% annually since 1900, our Stock exchange has grown exponentially at over 8% annually. So, Capitalism has defeated Socialism for over 125 years while actually funding our Socialism.

I know this confuses the Left because they actually believe Socialism works, but it is slowly bankrupting America, by design.

The real deal is this. To fund our Socialism we are borrowing to fund the annual deficit created by our social programs. There you see the Democrat versus Republican battle in plain view. Democrats love spending like drunken sailors and the Republicans want to shrink government and cut taxes. It is a damned game! The two sides make good arguments and the public stays confused because both make some level of good sense. But, look at our national debt. There we have the net result of the game. The two parties stay in power and America is bankrupt.

Trump has the solution and he is implementing it every day. So, get on board and enjoy the ride. The new Golden Age is here and prosperity cannot be stopped. It is already predestined by 650 cargo planes flying seven years ago! The rest is just a matter of education.

Actually, Democrats love giving away other people’s money to buy votes because it works. That is why they break down society into groups and then brag about intersectionality. Their claims that they stand for the “little guy” is hilarious! They screwed the pooch with the O’Biden administration.

My favorite subject. There are so many arms to this financial reckoning. I have been waiting many years for ALL OF THIS. The BTC portion I did not see coming, and I guess I really underestimated the extent of the federal (demon) grift. But commodities, currencies, stock valuations, capital gains, swaps, tax shelters, I have always known these to be a shell game. What choice did we have but to participate at least to some extent? I am so ready for all of this to shake out and settle into something sound, something solid, something we can feel proud to invest in and rely on. Something that is intrinsically good, pure, and true.

I also want to add this: you brought up the brief respites of the 1920's, 1950's and 1980's. Someone may ask, why then? Well, as historian Amity Schlaes brilliantly describes in her bio of Calvin Coolidge, POTUS 1923-1929 (I'll give you the condensed version), he thought to himself, I have control of the Executive branch budget and I will act on it. So, most afternoons throughout his terms, he sat with either his Budget Director or Treasury Secy and went line by line, cutting where he could. He succeeded in eliminating the WWI-caused debt and he never gets credit for that (I consider him the first DOGE and it certainly parallels with today). It put our economy in much better condition for the Great Depression and WWII years, which ratcheted up the debt again. The 1950's saw high tax rates, which eliminated that debt (and yet because we were the Last Nation Standing it did not hurt our economy one bit). Then JFK's tax cuts were but a spit in the bucket and LBJ needed them for his domestic programs and Vietnam. So by the 1980's they were largely still in place when Reagan cut them in 1980's (for arguably better or worse because they lacked corresponding spending cuts). I'm a retired tax accountant, so I notice these things, can't help it.

Thanks BB for another great read. I am not sure if it is a passing mood or what but I really enjoy reading articles more than watching videos these days. Your writings are some of the finest that I consume. You have a way with words that paints detailed pictures while being entertaining at the same time. Plus, your Bright outlook syncs perfectly with mine.

The Golden Age has gotten off to a magnificent start with the advent of Trump 2.0. The part that I enjoy the most is that unlike Trump 1.0 he and his team don't stop for any of the bullshit that the DS Rat Bastards constantly throw at them. While in Trump 1.0 there was a lot more gnashing of teeth and clutching of pearls now in Trump 2.0 we just double down and run over the top of the dirtbags. It is Glorious.

I just finished Mike King's "Andrew the Great" book about Andrew Jackson. The comparison of President Jackson's time and Trump's time in office is remarkably similar. The farewell address from Jackson when he left office after his 2nd term blew my mind. He faced the same DS Rat Bastard cabal we face today (no surprise there) and he was able to beat their fiat slave system and warned about the need for We the People to stay awake and keep the fiat slave system out of our country. While we now know that in 1913 We the People fell asleep at the wheel and the DS Rat Bastards reinstated their slave system I believe Trump 2.0 has the tools to win this fight. Again, it will be up to We the People to keep our sovereignty and pass that fight on to our children & grandchildren. Evil will never go away so all must be informed and armed to fight it.

Sorry for being so long winded (I may have been inspired by you:-)).

Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to tomorrow night's Story Hour discussion of The Grey (it was my 1st viewing, deep stuff).

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

I think there are a lot of us here that prefer reading to videos! It helps that you reference a lot of fictional books I’ve read when explaining a concept. I actually get annoyed by videos because it’s harder to go back and reread a sentence you didn’t quite understand, or the people go off on a tangent and you have to wait for them to get back to the good stuff, etc. There are so many excellent comments here it’s exciting, the comment section is a good read as much as the original essay.

Dang, Burning Bright, you are on a roll with this post, I think at times besting Dickens with the length of the sentences, heehee. But seriously, your genius application of the Stages of Loss reminded me of my sneaking suspicion which came to me about a month ago, which is that Trump is forcing these other countries to "feel" and even acknowledge their nation-statehoods. Like, oh you guys wanna be one-world? Let's see you fight us as one, then. Not working well for them. Exposing the smoke and mirrors of one-world. To remind each country they only thrive when they operate as we are now trying to. Then when you bring up the Fed, I'm always reminded of Paul & Son. And then Massie. Wouldn't it be something for this all to come true and Trump wins over Massie? Not that that is important or necessary in the least, but it does make me wonder if Massie would get a clue by reading this post!

‘And from trade to production, energy to money … even truth itself, I think we’re in the very early stages of recognizing exactly what they meant, on all layers of the war of light vs. darkness, truth vs. falsity, reality vs. the matrix.’

God has gifted you for your special analytical and visionary roles in this war. He has gifted so very many…from understanding what Jackson did (within the limitations you mentioned), from those understanding and digging into the evil plans from the latter years of the 1800s to the takeover and treason in 1913, to the final infiltration from post WWII to the active propaganda machine of the early 60s, to the (likely) birth of this plan, and to the end goal of the evil one’s cabal., God gifted warriors for each section of this complex plan. It will come crashing down due to each one gifted for this, for very much longer this time.

I also remember that in Trump 1.0, he moved the (private) Fed into the Treasury. Now, that move makes perfect sense.

Awesome article BB, really feels like something big is coming, what do you think of this take on stable coins ?

"With the Dollar backed stablecoins, you'll help expand the dominance of the US Dollar [...] It will be at the top, and that's where we want to keep it"

What he means is:

with Dollar backed stablecoins, the Global South will pivot towards digital Dollars over local currencies, allowing private, US Gov controlled entities to replace bank accounts around the globe.

This does not just allow for the expansion of USD dominance by bypassing local governments – it gives the US unprecedented and direct control over worldwide economies as every stablecoin can be effectively frozen on behalf of the US with the click of a button.

Additionally, it will provide the US with never seen before surveillance capabilities, providing real time access to financial transactions around the globe – fueling the unparalleled public-private partnership between Silicon Valley and the US war machine.

If you are promoting stablecoins, you are promoting the end of national sovereignty in favor of total techno-fascist dystopia.

I disagree with this take on stablecoins. I've actually grown to think of them as a way of moving the power over national currencies away from governments and central banks and into the hands of free markets. When one company mismanages its asset sheet and loses trust in its own stablecoin, five more will take its place. This effectively decentralizes the USD, while encouraging a de facto game theory play wherein companies compete to more effectively back their coins with the most robust and stable assets.

Why all the new bombs, jet fighters, and space lasers? "Trump's money-printing extravaganza" back in his first term went to prepare for war. The war against the deep state is economic, but he has clearly declared war on the western deep state world. How can they hit back? The US has been building a high tech war machine over the last several years to prepare for war. This includes x, rumble, substack, and trump social to fight the narrative war. This cuts off all the deep state's paths to escape. Trump's battlefield is economic and will be fought with gold backed dollars and bitcoin.

I would like to posit a different perspective. Early in the article you mention cutting the cord between Wall Street and Main Street. You suggest the divide is between the false and the real economies. I think you are very much off in this thinking.

I would invent a new street to add to your ideas. Let’s call it Ponzi Street. It was paved in 1913, but the path was cleared beginning in 1871 and the rest is history that has never been taught. Ponzi Street is where the deep state has lived all along the way, getting stronger by the year.

OK, now we have Main Street, Wall Street and the hidden Ponzi Street. Over the years, Ponzi Street was slowly picking the pockets of Main and Wall by design. The game was to confuse Main Street by making Wall Street a villain. I can provide hundreds of examples, but I know we all have been watching.

One evil invention of Ponzi Street was the income tax. It pitted Wall versus Main. The citizens on Main Street were forced to reconcile their yearly earnings with the government on Form 1099 beginning in 1913 and we still do it today. But, Wall Street actually paid the tax for the wage earner and wrote it off against their earnings. Do we see how this was designed to confuse us?

In 1935 Ponzi Street was going bankrupt again, so FDR invented Social Security which the Supreme Court said was legal because it was just a different tax on the wage earner. But, who paid that tax in reality? Business. Again, Wall and Main had to deal together with Ponzi.

Look, I can go on with this, but what Trump is actually doing today is putting Wall Street and Main Street back on the same side and working together. Ponzi Street is being dismantled and they hate it, but have no clue how to save themselves.

You ended with Jerome Powell’s video about printing money. Actually, that is their job when Congress votes to spend money we do not have. So, the Federal Reserve is caught right in the middle between Ponzi Street and the Main/Wall intersection. Powell knows that Ponzi Street is broke and always has been. They were never intended to make money on Ponzi Street except by robbing Wall Street and by deceiving Main Street.

We, here on Main Street, are being educated right now by the good guys from Wall Street who understand all of this in detail. They already know what the new Golden Age looks like and that is why they act so giddy. I am smiling too! This is going to be great!

By the way, think about those idiots on Ponzi Street. They are really confused or they are totally corrupt. Some are actually good, hard working stiffs who believe they actually pay income taxes! What a joke. Business pays their salaries and the income tax as well.

If you grew up inside the Ponzi scheme I have called Ponzi Street, you cannot see it. You think Everything is just peachy because you get a pay check and pay your taxes every year. Your job may be beneficial to America and you will not be fired by Elon and Donald. But, if you are in the corrupt group, being fired is a blessing because prison time is what you deserve.
