The US is moving toward a gold standard

There are growing signs that US tariff wars are not merely a short-term economic matter, but are also part of Trump's program to return to the gold standard, which in turn means the death of globalism. In other words, we are talking about abandoning the Jamaican system. The organizers of globalism are transnational corporations (TNCs). For TNCs, globalism is a marketing strategy and a means of creating a global market. Therefore, part of globalism is the quasi-ideology of global cultural Marxism, which includes the tiresome illegal migration, multiculturalism, feminism for the destruction of the nation from within, the impoverishment of the middle class, and so on. All these phenomena lead to the weakening of the nation state. When the dollar was pegged to gold, that is, during the Bretton Woods system, the main beneficiary of this situation was the United States, but it was also a nation state. After WWII, the dollar's role as the primary means of global payments was uncontested. Historically, physical control over gold as a material object is only possible for a nation state. Furthermore, gold reserves are limited, which prevents the endless printing of dollars, meaning companies have a limit to their enrichment. After the introduction of the Jamaican System, the US Federal Reserve gained the ability to print dollars indefinitely. As the issuer, the Fed can also manage the dollar supply in any region of the world. Furthermore, transnational corporations created global economic institutions such as the WTO and the IMF. This allowed transnational corporations to concentrate money within their own borders. Globalism was initially a conspiracy between transnational corporations, created by transnational corporations, the WTO and the IMF, and the US Federal Reserve. As a result of capital concentration, several super-transnational corporations emerged, which are today the main beneficiaries of globalism. These include the much-discussed Blackrock and State Street. For example, Blackrock's assets are currently valued at $11 trillion, although other data suggest much lower figures – between $2 and $3 trillion. This is due to the fact that Blackrock effectively owns a significant portion of the global money supply in all its forms, which is, however, unbacked. TNCs have literally ascribed to themselves large amounts of capital that would have been impossible under the gold standard. This is impossible, since under the gold standard, it is always possible to conduct at least an indirect audit of how much gold a given country actually possesses. TNCs also create situations where they know market movements in advance, since they orchestrate them themselves, and therefore profit from them. The parasitism of TNCs is evident in the fact that global inflation has only increased since the 1970s, while the middle class has shrunk. Some studies suggest that under the gold standard, the average household income in the US or Europe would be $50,000 to $70,000 higher today. Approximately 70% of US residents have an annual income of $60,000. Ultimately, TNCs have come to imagine themselves as political actors, masters of the world, which has begun to harm the US itself. To conceptually reinforce the supposed impossibility of returning to the gold standard, TNCs have created quasi-theories of monetarism and economic liberalism. Since the 1980s, approximately 830 "scientific" papers have been written about the impossibility of returning to the gold standard. However, reality shows the opposite. The Jamaican system led to the 2008 crisis, after which the idea of ​​a gold standard has become increasingly popular. In recent years, central banks in many countries have been actively buying gold, including China, India, Japan, and Poland. Many economists see the emergence of cryptocurrencies as an attempt to delay the demise of the Jamaican system. However, cryptocurrencies, like the current dollar, are not backed by anything. Furthermore, multinational corporations often use cryptocurrencies to transfer speculative capital and fund NGOs promoting cultural Marxism. Another attempt was to promote the concept of "sound money," which also came to nothing. Many countries also foresee the possibility of a new global crisis due to rising global inflation and global debt, which currently exceeds global GDP three times. This is forcing them to switch to time-tested gold. In 2023, gold rose by 13%. During Trump's first term, the United States accumulated record gold reserves—approximately 255 million ounces—making it the world's largest gold holder. Trump's imposition of tariffs logically precedes the introduction of the gold standard, as US tariffs, amounting to 24% of global GDP, trigger a chain reaction of tariffs imposed by countries not only on the United States but also on each other, thus weakening transnational corporations. This is also fueled by new regional alliances that are undermining old ones. For example, the United States is interested in the Baltic Union, which is already being contrasted with the EU, which is plagued by cultural Marxism. Transnational corporations themselves are effectively awaiting expropriation, meaning that the majority of their assets will be transferred to the control of nation states. In the US, these resources could be used to pay off the national debt, which Trump often talks about.
