Geopolitical Events: Predicate To An Inexorable Global Monetary And Currency Reset - Based On Gold
linkSummary
A North Korean conflict could be precedent setting for a new
global doctrine for demilitarization of “belligerent nuclear threats” (BNT).
Sanctions on North Korea probably will not work and the U.S. might ultimately occupy the same until the BNT is made safe.
China logically might occupy India presumably invoking the newly established BNT doctrine.
India has very large above ground/ mined reserves of physical gold – second perhaps only to China.
The knock-on effect of China occupying India will be to block U.S. access to gold that might help defend the USD from being deposed as the global reserve currency.

The knock-on effect of China occupying India will be to block U.S. access to gold that might help defend the USD from being deposed as the global reserve currency.
Geopolitical issues have ripened to
the point where it is possible to theoretically foresee and more clearly bring
into focus a specific related potential global monetary and reserve currency
reset scenario. Seeking Alpha is replete with commentary articulating
various macroeconomic permutations and nuances of unsound monetary policies
and the damaging effects of easy-money and fiat currencies. What has been
absent and frustrating is the lack of a trigger event that can be used to
hypothesize and explain how years of unsound money policies might start to
unwind.
Now there appears to be a real
near-term factual predicate based on geopolitical risk that could reverse the
destructive positive feedback loop (reflexivity) of an easy-money Fed induced
and enforced planned economy (and by extension - globally). Unfortunately, a new
(reverse) positive feedback loop (reflexivity) triggered by geopolitical events
will not simply, harmlessly and painlessly reverse years of misguided failed Fed
monetary experiments. The effect of unwinding years of injected toxic debased
currency into the economy will be that the new (reverse) positive feedback loop
will drastically deflate asset values and result in a very painful period of
realignment of expectations.
The extant moribund volatility of
financial asset markets is finally now responding to the imminent risks
presented by unfolding geopolitical events. Tensions have escalated in view of
North Korea's overt belligerent nuclear threats (BNT) directed specifically at
the U.S. The world may have reached the tipping point regarding BNTs - and a
"kicking the can down the road" approach may no longer be acceptable. If
sanctions against North Korea do not work then one way or another the U.S. may
be forced to act preemptively. One scenario probably includes occupation of
North Korea until the BNT is made safe.

8-14-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana It's not often I think I have a date nailed
down, for ANYTHING related to Iraq, but right now I'm chomping at the
bit for a tiny hint of confirmation on a couple things. One is heavily HCL
related. That's as far into the "intel" that I'm going to go.
Those of you that know me well, know that I keep a very steady and even keel
regarding this investment. Am I optimistic? You bet! Do I let my emotions
overtake my logic? NEVER. (At least not regarding the Dinar! ) So
this is really one of the very few times I have ever felt this way... the
feeling is a slight bit of annoyance that something didn't happen in the
timeframe I expected it to. [post 1 of 2....stay
tuned]
8-13-2017 Newshound Guru
Shredd Article: "Iraq is entering the
global financial markets with great success" I wish I
could impress upon everyone how big this news of the sovereign bonds is.
...with a rate of nearly double of what it is today, the interest was
weak but the appetite for investment now is strong. For
investors to buy these bonds, their due diligence was done. Their risk concerns
are not stronger than their confidence in the returns. Furthermore,
bond investors know that the better chances for a return beyond the principal
they invested is in the early years of the issuance. Finally, the
big name administrators of this debt issuance is just a cherry on top.
This further ensures us that Iraq has continued to economically
mature. Be encouraged y'all. I
am!
8-13-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG "Iraq sets a milestone by entering the international market with its first sale of independent bonds" While staying away from gross generalizations, it would appear they are deep within the “process” of being re-engaged with world economies… even if they aren’t being “officially recognized” just yet. ...they reportedly had much more interest than they had actual bonds to sell during this last offering. Obviously – we’ll see a follow-up bond offering. However, I would suspect there could be some restraint to this particular action by the IMF, etc, until they are content with Iraq’s compliance. None of the above is saying the IMF isn’t perfectly satisfied with their progress to date, nor am I saying any of this is directly tied to potential value change. It is merely my view of things.

First Standalone Bond Since 2006" Looks like big brother
the IMF is firmly at the wheel of MR and in total control. The
confidence from the bond sales is a record for Iraq! That will not go
unnoticed much longer. ...The process is on a solid foundation now
and considered to be B Rated / Stable. Powerful evidence the future is very
bright... Interesting they have publicly now stated there
is a tier in the game. Those with wealth and privilege just became more wealthy
and privileged. That suggests now and along with the release of the imf
800+ million USDs to support the budget and the bonds supporting infrastructure
and rebuild of Iraq, they have to have an international rate and it is on its
way. We are next in that along Line,

Very hard to impeach a sitting US President during a potential time of war?
Even harder to RV though :(
Isn't it interesting how two "potential wars" suddenly arose in both North Korea and Venezuela at exactly the same time Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller is closing his investigative noose around President Trump's closest confidants?
Hard to RV without the Republic's global flash bang... interesting strategy by the cabal to stay relevant by destroying its remaining perceived legitimacy faster.
Remember, the more chaotic American political events are in the news, the closer we are to the global financial reforms unleashing their philanthropic fury.
The Trump political madness we are all subjected to daily is the cabal's old "break the glass" strategy for starting WW3 -- someplace, anyplace and yesterday.
Also keep in mind all back-of-the-bank global banking reforms structurally have long completed and all redemption bases and off site centers are simply awaiting final release authorization instruction.
So there is no legitimate monetary drama anymore, and there is no legitimate military drama in terms of going to war, as Trump has no nuke codes because he's not Republic President per Republic & military sources.
This makes Primma Donna a paper lion at best. Digging his own grave tweet by tweet, radical comment by radical comment.
And because China long ago disabled the North Korean nuclear program in exchange for keeping the country solvent monetarily, where is this insanity coming from?
Answer: desperation. Forcing the Pentagon to launch a preemptive first strike to "protect an ally" is the cabal last, best chaotic chance to stave off the RV.
But Dunford ain't having any of it--and why today he is physically "inside the hot zone," to reassure the world there is no legitimate threat posed by the US military (by the guy who does have the nuke launch codes) against the Korean Peninsula.
https://www.bloomberg.com/
Meaning, the remaining cabal minions are now taking their last collective breath before death, including those die hard agents who create needless violence by in-sighting fake "white supremacist hate" in Virginia yesterday.
Absolutely anything to gin up enough chaos to stop the RV. Can you imagine a world without such man-made generated hell on earth?
The cabal sure can, and why they are throwing the kitchen sink at the good guys here at the bitter end.
So stay strong way-seers. The light at the end of the GCR/RV tunnel is both blinding and growing every hour and straight into our tired but resilient third eye.
God is with us
