You’re thinking of Jeff Gundlach the bond guru who also likes gold at times. I haven’t read or heard anything about him for a couple years now. Names are close though. (since I stopped watching financial news)
Glad you reminded me; I had to dust off a few braincells to remember his name.
This guy speculates. I’d say it’s whatever the world accepts as a viable currency, so why not Yuan? The problem for that would be the western SWIFT system, but if Europe decided to go BRICS and use Yuan, I’d say we’re pretty much forked.
That was an excellent video. I didn’t realize he was my “mate” until I saw that. I’ve heard of him but never followed. I hope he is surprised by the move up in the metals going forward, because I tend to think we’re going higher much faster than he thinks, but we’ll see. No doubt the shares should provide leverage and outperform, but then he’s left with dollars. What happens if no one wants them?
I’ve always thought the smart guys used paper profits to buy physical.
This rumor is going around about mid April Trump is going to make a announcement but they want you to listen to a long sales pitches which I’m guessing gets less listeners than just getting to the point.
So for those who don’t have all day to become a captive audience to sales pitches here’s the point.
Based on recent presentations by Jim Rickards, he is not talking about one single mine, but rather a series of “locked away” federal lands containing massive, untapped natural resources—primarily copper, lithium, and rare earth elements—which he claims could be unlocked by the Trump administration.
Yahoo Finance +4
Rickards refers to this as a “$150 trillion U.S. resource” opportunity or the “American Lockbox,” aimed at unlocking “buried wealth” on over 250 million acres of federal land.
Yahoo Finance +1
Here is the breakdown of what he is referring to:
Key Projects Mentioned:
Resolution Mine (Arizona): A huge copper deposit he describes as sitting dormant for decades.
Pebble Mine (Alaska): Cited as a massive source of mineral wealth that has been mothballed.
Thacker Pass Lithium Mine (Nevada): Mentioned as a key source of lithium shut down for years.
The “Urgent” Action: Rickards argues that by overturning the Chevron Doctrine, the Supreme Court enabled the executive branch to bypass environmental regulators and speed up the extraction of these resources.
The “Gold” Connection: While the marketing often focuses on the trillions in material wealth (copper/lithium), Rickards frequently talks about Trump potentially revaluing U.S. gold reserves to fight inflation.
These pitches are typically part of marketing materials for his financial advisory publications, where he argues that unlocking these resources will benefit certain mining and natural resource companies.
Resolution Copper is a major proposed underground copper mine near Superior, Arizona, jointly owned by Rio Tinto (55%) and BHP (45%). Located 60 miles east of Phoenix, it aims to be one of North America’s largest copper producers, targeting a massive deposit over 7,000 feet deep.
BHP +1
Key Details of the Project:
Production & Impact: The mine could supply up to 25% of U.S. copper demand and create thousands of jobs, significantly impacting the local economy
.
Operations: The project uses advanced underground panel caving methods to extract ore from over 2,000 meters deep, with, at times, temperatures reaching 180°F.
Status & Hurdles: The project is in the federal permitting process, with a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) released in June 2025. Key challenges include opposition from Native American tribes, particularly regarding the protection of the sacred Oak Flat area.
History: The project is located at the site of the former Magma Mine, with operations beginning to ramp up after exploratory drilling in the 1990s.

The Pebble Mine is a proposed, highly controversial open-pit copper-gold-molybdenum project in Alaska’s Bristol Bay watershed, currently blocked by a 2023 EPA veto over irreversible risks to the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery
. Despite being stalled by federal environmental protection, developers and the State of Alaska are pursuing legal challenges in 2024 and 2025 to overturn this decision.
Bristol Bay Native Corporation +4
Current Status and Legal Challenges
EPA Veto: In January 2023, the EPA issued a Final Determination under the Clean Water Act, prohibiting the disposal of mine waste in the area, effectively halting the project.
Lawsuits: The State of Alaska and developer Northern Dynasty Minerals (Pebble Limited Partnership) have filed lawsuits against the EPA in federal court, arguing against the veto.
Opposition: Strong opposition exists from local tribes, commercial fishermen, and environmental groups, who argue the mine threatens thousands of jobs and salmon habitat.
Bristol Bay Native Corporation +4
Project Details and Potential Impacts
Location: The proposed site is in southwest Alaska, at the headwaters of the pristine Bristol Bay ecosystem.
Size: The project is a massive ore body containing an estimated 80.6 billion pounds of copper and 107.4 million ounces of gold.
Impacts: Experts argue that a large-scale mine in this region would create irreversible damage to aquatic ecosystems and salmon populations.
Infrastructure: Plans include massive infrastructure projects, including roads, a pipeline, and a port, which could impact wildlife such as beluga whales.
NRDC +4
Projected Benefits (According to Developer)
Economic Impact: Proponents argue the project would create thousands of jobs (approximately 2,000 for construction) and provide substantial tax revenue for the state.
Resource Value: The project is seen as a significant potential source of copper for global demand.

The Thacker Pass lithium mine in Humboldt County, Nevada, is a major, controversial project designed to be one of North America’s largest lithium sources, expected to begin production in late 2027. Led by Lithium Americas, the project aims to produce 40,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate annually for electric vehicle batteries, backed by a $2.23 billion DOE loan
.
Lithium Americas +2
Key Project Details
Location: Southern end of the McDermitt Caldera, 60 miles northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada.
Capacity: Phase 1 aims to produce 40,000 tonnes per year of battery-quality lithium carbonate, supporting roughly 800,000 electric vehicles annually.
Timeline: Construction began in early 2023, with mechanical completion of Phase 1 targeted for late 2027.
Methodology: The project uses open-pit mining and on-site processing to produce battery-grade lithium, utilizing a sulfuric acid plant and focusing on recycling water (water is reused approximately seven times).
Lithium Americas +3
Controversies and Challenges
Environmental Concerns: Critics, including environmental groups like Great Basin Resource Watch, have raised concerns regarding water usage, sulfuric acid pollution, and impact on local species like pronghorn antelope and sage grouse.
Tribal Opposition: The area is considered sacred land by local Paiute and Shoshone tribes, known as Peehee mu’huh (rotten moon), and was the site of a 19th-century massacre.
Legal Challenges: The project has faced lawsuits regarding the Bureau of Land Management’s permitting process and potential impacts on Native American cultural sites.

The project is expected to operate for at least 46 years over multiple phases.
They have been trying that here with their cancel culture and other little tricks to pit people against each other. Easier for them to control the population if it’s divided where they can single people out and using it as a excuse when that’s what their really up to. As long as we can hold on to our constitution from these run of the mill lunatics getting into politics it will be kinda hard to do that here. They have already tried even trying to de- bank people. Every time they try we should get stronger, set legal precedents, law suits and consequences to the trouble makers. It would help if people were forewarned because it appears the ones getting into politics have to be compromised or have to avoid threats of assassination.
Hard to see anything good coming out of a social credit system for either men or women other than a 1984 style compliant, docile population. No doubt their goal.
About the phoney king of England and his support for Ramadan but not Easter.
I emailed it to a friend. She said a presentation of jew turned Christian that Prince Charles was the antichrist, and he proved it with his lineage and a bunch of other stuff. She had to say she didn’t believe it but might have to change her mind. They think theyre being inclusive and avant garde. How is he going to explain this to Jesus when he steps out of his body? Which might be sooner than he thinks. Personally I don’t think hes going to have a chance to explain anything, unless he repents and not at the last minute he’s already done.
A friend here in California told me she couldn’t believe it. A legal immigrant and American citizen told me her husband a natural citizen and veterans had to visit the ER. She was shocked. Usually the ER is full of mostly migrants and a 7 hr wait to see a doctor. She said the place was practically empty and only a few people there. They didn’t have to wait long to see a doctor.
Right now some women might think what else is new or that’s what they get, now it’s their turn and have no idea what they’re planning. There’s a big difference and all life style choices will be eliminated. What if say to it’s my body to mandatory abortions and denied having children, denied a child they wanted like they did in China forcing them to abort now controlled financially and can turn off their money and not to think it can’t happen to them.
Forcing husbands and fathers into a life of slavery and constant surveillance causes profound, multi-generational damage to their wives and children, breaking down family structures, destroying economic stability, and causing lasting psychological harm. The trauma associated with such conditions is often described as a form of “transgenerational trauma” or “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome” (P.T.S.S.), where the fear, insecurity, and oppression are passed down to future generations
.
Humantold +1
Negative effects on the wife and children include:
1. Psychological and Emotional Trauma
Constant Fear and Anxiety: Wives and children live under the perpetual threat of separation, as fathers can be sold, transferred, or killed at any time by captors.
“Vacant Esteem”: Children and spouses may develop a sense of worthlessness, hopelessness, and depression stemming from the systematic dismantling of their family’s agency and dignity.
Internalized Anger and Trauma: Children often experience toxic stress leading to behavioral disorders, anxiety, and a “marked propensity for anger and violence” as a survival mechanism.
Loss of Identity and Security: The destruction of family bonds and the inability to protect one’s own children lead to deep emotional scars and a lasting, broken sense of security.
Humantold +5
2. Disruption of Family Structure and Roles
Forced Separation: Husbands and fathers are often separated from their families by distance, “abroad marriages,” or by being sold/transferred away, leaving mothers to raise children alone in hostile conditions.
Inability to Protect: The inability of the father to act as a protector or provider—due to the surveillance and control of an enslaver—undermines his role and causes distress to his spouse and children.
Disrupted Socialization: Children are often forced into labor alongside adults, depriving them of childhood and education, or they are left in vulnerable, unsupervised situations.
Broken Social Bonds: Surveillance makes it difficult for families to form secure, trusting relationships with others, fostering an environment of fear and isolation.

3. Economic and Social Consequences
Systemic Poverty: Enslaved people are denied wages, preventing them from accumulating wealth, passing on inheritance, or securing a stable future for their children, leading to multi-generational poverty.
Legal Invisibility: In many contexts, families of the enslaved have no legal rights to marriage, education, or protection, leaving them entirely at the mercy of their captors.
Dependency on Captors: Wives and children may be forced to rely on the same individuals who hold their husband/father in bondage, creating a state of complete dependency and vulnerability.
nationalhumanitiescenter.org +4
4. Direct Harm from Surveillance
Loss of Autonomy: Constant monitoring creates a feeling of powerlessness and an inability to make decisions about daily life, such as food, education, or movement.
Intrusion and Oppression: The family unit is constantly invaded by agents of the controlling entity, leading to a permanent state of psychological tension and stress.
PubMed Central (PMC) (.gov)
In essence, the forced enslavement of a husband does not just affect him; it weaponizes his absence, his surveillance, and his suffering to break the spirits, economic, and social standing of his wife and children.
Well your a warrior which sometimes can make you your own worst enemy lol not a female. Females on the other hand in times of insanity up to a point anyways had to learn to survive through it can learn to use these ideas they come up with to their advantage. So it depends on the situation. Their scores can be used either to your advantage ” making them predictable ” or against them then they are either under the lusion their in control or it don’t work and fails. Imo it should just be stopped but there’s too many dumb bats out there who think it will be to their advantage if they really do it.” They’ll get it from both sides.”

This claim originated as an April Fools’ joke on April 1, 2026. Las Vegas Strip hotels are not introducing a “Climate Comfort Fee” for air conditioning. While resort fees exist, AC is included in standard amenities.
Last week I said something very specific: The geopolitical theater in the Middle East and the drawdowns in Bitcoin were not random chaos.
This week… we got confirmation.
The media is screaming about a looming World War III and an organic crypto bear market. That isn’t a genuine war or a natural market correction. That’s a highly coordinated, managed transition to asset-strip the West, break the petrodollar, and funnel Bitcoin into Wall Street wrappers.
And it reveals something most people are still missing:
👉 The unipolar US Empire is officially over, and the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) is executing a controlled demolition to usher in a technocratic, multipolar world.
Today at 6pm BST on Simon Dixon Hard Talk Live, I break down the phase shift. I will be airing an exclusive two-part strategic sit-down interview I recorded in London, and explaining exactly why you must watch both halves to understand the full system transition.
Part One: Real-Time Market Update & The Supply Chain Crisis
Before we roll the tapes, I will give you a fast macro update on what is happening right now. We are already seeing behavioral shifts and global stress.
I will break down the looming jet fuel shortages and supply chain disruptions preparing to hit globally.
We’ll also break down what the markets are telling us:
Oil prices are being strictly bounded below $115 to prevent the total demand destruction of the US economy.
Bond markets are under extreme stress, with the 10-year Treasury pushing 4.5% and the 30-year at 5%, bringing the mortgage market to its knees.
Gold is not mooning in an exodus, signaling the smart money knows this “war” has a pre-negotiated deadline and will not escalate into a true global conflict.
And why all of this points to one thing:
👉 A predetermined, controlled transition where the smart money is front-running a global reset.
Part Two: The Wall Street Bitcoin Capture
Then, we will play the first interview: BlackRock’s Attack on Bitcoin.
The Shakeout: I believe Wall Street was intentionally suppressing the Bitcoin price using Jane Street’s paper ETF derivatives and media-driven Epstein FUD to force weak hands to capitulate.
The Objective: Centralizing Bitcoin into corporate treasury companies dependent on Wall Street debt and bailouts.
The Trap: The Technical Industrial Complex (Palantir, Musk, X) is building the rails for a 1984 Orwellian state, turning X into a data honeypot for a coming social credit score disguised as “free speech”.
Part Three: Operation Warp Speed 2.0 & The Global Reset War
Finally, we will air the second interview: The $150 Oil Crisis and the Macro Geopolitical Reset.
Competing systems: The conflict in the Middle East is a theatrical mechanism to purge the legacy Military Industrial Complex (MIC) hardliners who profit from strategic tension.
Hidden drivers: China is acting as the rule-maker, securing regional stability in “West Asia” to integrate the Gulf sovereign wealth funds with BRICS.
Long-term consequences: A managed demolition of the Japan carry trade, the Eurodollar, and the Petrodollar all at once.
👉 The old world was ruled by bombs and military proxy wars; the new world will be ruled by sovereign wealth funds, AI data centers, and centralized digital ledgers.
Check out all these earthquakes around the world in the last 24 hours. Almost 600 hundred yesterday, as you say Indonesia a bunch over 5.0 Double the norm of the last 6 months.
Did Dowd say anything about oil prices? Like are they gonna be worse than Biden where gas went up every month and people complaining just buying milk eggs, bread, and few things and costing them 100 dollars needing help from food banks.
Metals going up watch your cat converter. I just heard from my daughter her son’s converter that was stolen cost 2900 with instillation bolts and wire to replace so some bum who stole it can get a few bucks for it.
I wonder if Israel thinks Iran can’t last forever, is alone like Gaza and can do whatever they want when both China and Russia are basic allies and supply them with what they need in multi ways and probably already have. I believe them when they say they will not surrender or would trust them or that China or Russia would want to see their resources in enemy hands.
This could result in a war that could last till the next election where the tables are turned on Israel, dumbos get back in here or should I say more of them than what the repubs have but lose support and just don’t vote.

Multiple Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip will start charging guests this summer $28 per night to use the air conditioning
This new charge is called the “Climate Comfort Fee”
Guests who choose to opt out would reportedly receive complimentary spray bottles and ice service instead
