🚨🥇 🇺🇸 Dollar OUT: BRICS’ gold surge shakes global finance
BRICS nations continue accelerating their gold accumulation, to hedge against US dollar dominance & to reduce dependence on it.
In September alone, Brazil added around 16 tonnes — its first major purchase since 2021 — Russia some three tonnes and China two tonnes, totalling nearly 20 tonnes worth $2.5b despite record-high prices, reports say.
This could bring BRICS Pay and gold-backed settlements by 2026.
🇷🇺 🇨🇳 Russia & China lead the charge, positioning gold as a resilient, sanction-proof store of value and a foundation for trade outside Western control.
🇮🇳 India's gold reserves crossed over 880 tonnes by end of September 2025, crossed $100 billion in October.
Local-currency settlements within the bloc are growing steadily, progressively reducing reliance on SWIFT and the dollar system.
BIG NO to IMF & WEF debt trap
A gold-anchored alternative could free BRICS states from Western-dominated economic structures and enable sovereign growth without externally imposed debt conditions.
Long shackled by Western debt, most countries now turn to BRICS:👇
🇵🇰 Pakistan: 24 IMF bailouts since 1958 have locked it into perpetual austerity, poverty, & dependency, with no structural escape.
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka: 17 IMF bailouts since independence culminated in the 2022 default, mass protests, and brutal austerity.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh: A $4.7 billion IMF package in 2023 forced “reforms” that raised living costs, deepening dollar dependence.
🇮🇷 Iran: Sanctioned into isolation by the West, turns to BRICS membership to bypass dollar weaponisation and IMF-style traps.
🇹🇷 Turkey: Burdened by dollar volatility and repeated IMF bailouts, seeks full BRICS integration to achieve financial independence from Western leverage.
🇪🇬 Egypt: Serial bailouts since 2016 amid currency collapse and soaring poverty; IMF-mandated cuts starve public services.
🇦🇷 Argentina: 23 programmes since 1958, endless loans feeding hyperinflation, serial defaults, and middle class erosion.
🇻🇪 Venezuela: Crushed by US sanctions and frozen out of dollar markets, pursues BRICS integration to end Washington's debt-sanctions stranglehold.
By embracing BRICS integration, these nations reclaim economic independence, protect citizens from exploitative debt programmes, and develop resilient, internally driven economies.
BRICS gold strategy — the death knell for dollar hegemony.☠️ 💲

Ukraine Peace Plan: Its not gonna work sweety pie!
Trump’s full 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine is out, and, much like Gaza, it’s not a peace plan but a cheap and obnoxious grasp to enslave Russia via pretending a position of strenth.
In reality I did not want to discuss this, because what’s the use of discussing something that may never be. If this ever reaches Russia on a professional basis, Russia will do what it does – consider it seriously and professionally, respond and continue the SMO as Russia is not for sale.

This Is Why the G20 Is a Relic of a Bygone Era
Another G20 summit convenes this week in Johannesburg, but the mood surrounding it says more than the agenda ever will. The forum was born not out of ideology but necessity. Its creation at the turn of the century followed the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, when it became obvious that the global economy was too interconnected for a Western-only club like the G7 to manage shocks on its own.
The logic was straightforward. If crises were global, the responses also had to be global. The G20’s e... Read more »
