Hard Asset Money Show Christian Briggs

We have central bank digital currencies that are now widespread in development. Many are piloted. Some are deployed. Some are in full-scale use. Here in the United States we've rebranded it as a digital asset that has tokenization, which is a unique serial number that identifies a digital token. That is a piece of code that then creates a unit of value that people then can say I've got this many tokens this many units and it gives me the ability to spend in places of which the government allows me. That's a centralized system Bitcoin is decentralized. So I want to make sure that everybody's clear about this. We do not want Bitcoin to be gone.

In part two of a two part series with former assistant director of the FBI, Thomas Fuentes, Christian talks about how much more the United States will put itself in a position of actually being in the Russia-Ukraine war. The ships that Russia is sending over to Cuba and Venezuela contain many troops, but more importantly, they are armed with nuclear missles. For the past 30 years, the fact that NATO has been more of the aggressors towards Russia rather than the other way around has put Putin in a corner. There were treaties that were broken and negotiations that were shut down multiple times. In Putin’s mind, he has no choice but to push back aggressively in order to maintain Russia’s sovereignty. This podcast was produced and directed by Christian Briggs and John Grainer III.

In part one of a two part series with former assistant director of the FBI, Thomas Fuentes, Christian talks about why President Biden is authorizing US weapons to be launched from Ukraine directly into Russia? Russia has now sent over a carrier group of ships to Havana, and potentially Venezuela, in what looks to be a position in the Caribbean. Both sides are escalating this, and there seems to be no effort on either side to negotiate. Putin’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov says that if NATO countries are sending their weapons into Ukraine to be fired upon Russia, that is an act of war.

Christian speaks with special guest Tom Fuentes. What exactly is the BRICS nations? What is it that brings such fear into the world economy? The original BRICS nations, which comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa was to establish a new coalition of nations that would take on the United States dollar dominant world supremacy, where the US dollar was the reserve currency. Right now, close to 100 countries (and around 80% of the world population) is now working aggressively to take us out. This is not going to be good for dollar based assets. We all know hard assets runs contrary to dollar based assets by hedging dollar devaluation.

Christian is a guest speaker on A Good Fight podcast with Jameson Haygood. They speak about how in April 2024, the WPI (Wholesale Price Index) rose to a 13-month high of 1.26%. When the CPI (Consumer Price Index) came out in mid-May, it was down a bit, which indicated that the inflation at the wholesale did not get pushed up yet to the retail. That means that inflation is coming yet again for the consumer. According to Forbes magazine, 78% of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck. The U.S. dollar has lost 17-20% this year against different foreign currencies as well as international and domestic goods in buying power already. That means if your investments (bonds, real estate, equities…) aren’t making 17-20% this year, you’re losing money. Conversely, gold is up 29% in the last four months. Silver is up 32%. 

Christian speaks with Mitchell Green, son of Tennessee Congressman and Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Mark Green, as well as Clayton Thomas, founder of Root Wellness. They speak about the perils of CBDC, and why gold and silver are escalating in price recently, as well as how the national debt is at the point where we cannot pay it back. Our GDP is around 27 trillion, whereas the national debt is at 35 trillion. Interest payments alone will be 1.7 to 2 trillion dollars.
