Summary
The US interventions in countries like Venezuela and Iran, and the escalating global tensions, may lead to a catastrophic economic collapse, hyperinflation, and a potential return to the gold standard as the current debt-based financial system collapses.
Global Economic System Restructuring
The world is experiencing a fundamental shift from the West’s debt-based system to the East’s resource-based system, with China, Russia, and Iran forming an alliance that challenges Western economic dominance rather than acting as traditional enemies.
Moriarty predicts a return to a gold or silver standard within the next decade as the only viable solution to end the current financial crisis, marking a shift to a healthier monetary system compared to the collapsing debt-based model.
A financial collapse ten times worse than 1929 is imminent as the Western debt-based system faces inevitable collapse, with current economic chaos representing unprecedented financial instability.
Precious Metals Market Dynamics
China controls 60-70% of the world’s silver supply and as of January 1st, 2026, requires government permission to export it, signaling a potential silver shortage and strategic resource control.
The gold-to-silver ratio has historically ranged from 15:1 to 110:1 with an average of 53:1, making silver currently a better buy than gold given the absurdly low prices of both metals relative to the financial chaos.
Cryptocurrencies are 98% speculation and not true money, while gold and silver remain critical protection during hyperinflation and serve as both historical monetary assets and essential industrial materials.
Geopolitical Conflict Analysis
U.S. interventions in Venezuela and Iran are not about oil or resources but about maintaining Western economic dominance against the rising resource-based system in the East.
An attack on Iran, as pressured by Israel and Netanyahu to Trump, would be disastrous for both nations due to underestimating Iran’s military power and risking catastrophic consequences including closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. sanctions and tariffs on countries dealing with Iran, especially China, are absurd and ineffective given China’s access to cheap energy from Russia and India, undermining the economic warfare strategy.
Current U.S. foreign policy and leadership represents potentially the worst in world history, pursuing aggressive military and economic strategies that risk significant losses and accelerate the fundamental restructuring of global power.
