In preparation for the imminent unpegging of the United States dollar as the world reserve currency, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) just purchased 75 tons of physical gold from Russia, marking the next step towards America’s soon obsolescence as the world’s money changer.
Drew Mason, Managing Partner of St. Joseph Partners, told LifeSiteNews in a recent interview on “The John-Henry Westen Show” that not just the UAE but also many other countries around the world are divesting from the U.S. dollar and replacing it with precious metals that actually hold value.

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
Since 1913, the U.S. dollar has ceased to be an actual currency, which it once was, and is now a debt note printed by the private Federal Reserve banking cartel. Just like Monopoly money, the U.S. dollar holds no actual value and can be printed infinitely at will, which is why inflation is sky-high.
Gold, conversely, is an actual physical asset with built-in scarcity – there is only so much gold in the world, while U.S. dollars can be printed endlessly since they are just colorful pieces of paper. The UAE and other growing world powers recognize this, which is why they are ditching the dollar and switching to gold and other precious metals.

Mason says buying gold and silver can protect wealth amid economic uncertainty
Before the Federal Reserve existed – and even for a while afterwards until Richard Nixon became president – U.S. dollars were backed by gold. That changed after Nixon removed the dollar from the gold standard, rendering it a valueless strip of paper that functions as an IOU for the usurious money changers.
At a time like this when the valuelessness of the dollar is on full display due to early onset hyperinflation, precious metals experts like Mason want people to know that they, too, can transform dollars into gold just like the UAE is doing.
“We see the UAE buying 75 tons of gold, making this massive purchase as a vote with their wallets to decrease exposure to the dollar and currencies, and to increase their exposure to physical gold,” Mason explained during the interview.
“As these planners, very powerful, are looking at the world and what is unfolding, they are consciously deciding that even though they had a significant allocation of gold already, they want to increase it further based on risk and reward and what they see.”
Mason also pointed out that the UAE specifically chose to buy its gold from a country that is not aligned, at least on the surface, with the U.S. Instead, they chose to buy it from Russia, which appears to be at war with not just Ukraine but also NATO and the entire Western power structure.
“They rejected the United States and deliberately went to a country that the White House is sanctioning,” Mason said.
“And they’re buying it from Russia and making a clear statement as to where they are seeing their alliances move in the future as we’re seeing repeated again and again throughout the world with nations voting to go with the BRICS nations and are rejecting the U.S. dollar and America’s alliance.”

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
GOLD. Still the most beautiful commodity in the world to me (other than water).
Silver too. Silver being the poor man’s gold. The paper dollar? Nixon took away all validity OF THE DOLLAR.
And I am afraid that most, if not ALL OUR GOLD stored at Fort Knox, is G O N E. So, as it is today obvious that THE WORLD is returning to a GOLD STANDARD, once again, by the feckless ‘leadership’ in this DOOMED COUNTRY have already STOLEN OUR GOLD. And we the people will feel the pain of being RAPED financially, but those who were FEDERAL GOVT? Oh, THEY are HEALED. No worries.
