The U.S. Government and Federal Reserve are fighting against cash on many fronts. Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems "suspicious" or "unusual." The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become "cashless" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.

    The Dollar Damage Since the Lockdowns; BRICS Is Moving Beyond the Dollar

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine how much damage may really have been done to the U.S. economy and the purchasing power of the dollar since the lockdown years. The discussion highlights an alternative inflation framework suggesting that Americans may have lost 40% to 50% of their purchasing power since 2020, while real GDP may be materially weaker than conventional government-adjusted metrics suggest. The conversation then shifts to BRICS and de-dollarization, focusing on Putin’s explanation for why countries are moving beyond the U.S. dollar and building alternatives. Dean and Chris argue that the shift is not just ideological. It is a response to a system increasingly viewed as politically and financially risky by other nations, and it has real implications for the future strength of the dollar and the financial position of American households. Key topics include: alternative inflation measurement and purchasing-power losswhy official data may understate the problemreal-world household pain since the lockdownswhy BRICS countries want non-dollar systemsde-dollarization and reduced trust in U.S. monetary dominancewhy gold remains important in a changing global orderBrought to you by Swiss America.

    China Is Booming: Is America Getting Squeezed?

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine two forces weighing heavily on the future of the American economy. The first is China’s transformation into a dominant industrial and manufacturing power, moving far beyond low-cost imitation and into leadership in sectors like auto production, electric vehicles, and large-scale export capacity. Dean and Chris argue that this shift represents both an economic and strategic challenge for the United States, especially given how dependent America has become on foreign manufacturing. The second force is the role of the Federal Reserve and government policy in eroding purchasing power at home. The conversation looks at inflation rising faster than incomes, the soaring costs of housing, education, utilities, and insurance, and the growing frustration of Americans who are working hard but still falling behind. Dean and Chris frame this as the heart of the “Secret War on Cash,” where personal finances are being squeezed from multiple directions while accountability remains elusive. Key topics include: China’s rise in manufacturing and exportsthe strategic risk of relying on Chinese productionthe Fed’s role in rising financial pressureinflation outrunning wages and savingswhy middle-income households feel increasingly squeezedhow gold and silver fit into a diversification responseBrought to you by Swiss America.

    De-Dollarization Is Still Fueling Gold

    Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine why the weak U.S. dollar and ongoing de-dollarization trend may continue pushing gold prices higher. The conversation looks at the two main narratives around the dollar, one viewing weakness as potentially helpful for foreign investment, and the other emphasizing the deeper problem of countries dumping Treasuries, reducing dollar reserves, and losing confidence in dollar assets over time. The episode also focuses on why some fund managers and analysts see the current gold range not as a breakdown, but as a strong floor near $4,500 that may precede another major upward move. Dean and Chris connect that outlook to inflation, policy volatility, central-bank demand, Asian buying, higher mining costs, and the broader appeal of physical metals as both a hedge and a strategic asset. Key topics include: weak dollar dynamics and de-dollarizationwhy gold appears strongly supported near current levelsthe case for gold above $6,000inflation, mine costs, and central-bank buyingpolicy volatility and weakening trust in dollar assetswhy physical gold remains a long-term diversification toolBrought to you by Swiss America.

    BRICS Expansion Is a Bigger Threat Than People Think

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the rapid expansion of BRICS and why more countries are seeking alignment with the bloc. The conversation explains how nations see practical benefits in reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar, strengthening their own currencies, and gaining leverage outside the traditional U.S.-led financial system. The episode also takes a close look at the growing de-dollarization trend already underway, with countries increasingly using the yuan, rupee, and ruble in trade instead of the dollar. Dean and Chris argue that this shift is not just symbolic. It could have direct consequences for U.S. purchasing power, savings, retirement accounts, and the broader economy if the dollar’s global role continues to weaken. Key topics include: BRICS expansion and partner-nation growthwhy more countries want alternatives to dollar dependencehow de-dollarization is already happening in real trade flowsthe role of sanctions, leverage, and reserve diversificationwhat weakening dollar dominance could mean for Americanswhy gold and silver remain central in a shifting systemBrought to you by Swiss America.

    BRICS Just Dumped Billions in U.S. Treasuries: Could Gold Hit $7,000?

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the accelerating trend of BRICS countries reducing exposure to U.S. Treasuries and why that matters for the dollar’s long-term global standing. The discussion focuses on a reported $51.2 billion dump of U.S. debt and why this trend reflects a broader move away from dollar dependence rather than a one-time event. The conversation also turns to gold, including a fresh $7,000 price target, and why the hosts see physical metals as both a hedge against fiat weakness and a potentially strong-performing asset class. Dean and Chris argue that when countries and central banks reduce trust in paper systems, individual investors should be paying close attention to what that means for diversification and long-term protection. Key topics include: BRICS selling U.S. Treasuriesreserve-currency pressure on the dollarde-dollarization and reduced dependence on U.S. debtgold as a hedge against fiat weaknesswhy $7,000 gold is viewed as plausiblethe role of physical gold in a changing systemBrought to you by Swiss America.

    Food Inflation Is Crushing American Families

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the growing financial pressure on American households as rising debt and rising food prices squeeze families from both sides. The conversation highlights how household debt has surged from $1.4 trillion in 1980 to $18.79 trillion today, and why this is increasingly a story about survival costs, not just discretionary spending. The episode also breaks down the latest wave of food inflation, with prices rising across staple items such as beef, chicken, coffee, fruit, vegetables, dairy, and eggs. Dean and Chris argue that this is what makes the current inflation environment especially punishing: the pressure is landing on the purchases families cannot easily avoid. Key topics include: rising household debt and financial stresswhy stagnant wages are colliding with higher costsforeclosures and growing strain across familiesfood inflation hitting staple grocery itemswhy this inflation wave feels differenthow gold and silver fit into a diversification responseBrought to you by Swiss America.

  7. Why Eric Sprott Put 98% Into Gold and Silver

    Why Eric Sprott Put 98% Into Gold and Silver

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine why billionaire investor Eric Sprott has placed 98% of his $3 billion fortune into gold and silver and why he believes gold is ultimately headed to $10,000 an ounce. The conversation explores how investors with deep experience in precious metals may be looking beyond short-term price moves and focusing instead on physical ownership, currency weakness, and long-term preservation of wealth. The episode also looks at Goldman’s view that central banks want more gold for reserves, reinforcing the idea that official-sector buying remains one of the strongest pillars under the metals market. Dean and Chris argue that the continued shift away from fiat dependence and toward physical reserves is a message everyday investors should pay attention to. Key topics include: Eric Sprott’s metals allocationthe case for $10,000 goldwhy central banks continue buying aggressivelythe role of physical ownership in a weakening fiat systemreserve diversification and de-dollarizationwhy gold pullbacks can still be buying opportunitiesBrought to you by Swiss America.

    War, Inflation, and the Debt Train Nobody Can Stop

    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine how the war involving Iran is already increasing costs for U.S. businesses and why the price hikes seen so far may be only the early stages of a broader inflation wave. The discussion looks at reduced oil flow, delayed shipping effects, higher transportation costs, and the way those pressures spread into groceries, travel, construction materials, and everyday household goods. The episode also turns to the larger structural problem behind the headlines: America’s expanding debt burden. Dean and Chris explain that even as war-related inflation pushes higher, the debt and interest problem continues compounding in the background, making it harder for policymakers to control inflation without worsening other parts of the system. Key topics include: war-driven price increases for businesses and consumersdelayed supply-chain effects from lower oil flowwhy small businesses often raise prices firstthe compounding effect of inflation and debtwhy interest-rate pressure no longer solves the problem cleanlyhow these trends fit the broader “Secret War on Cash” thesisBrought to you by Swiss America.
