Bill Holter: The Great Reset Is Here: Dollar Rejected, Gold Stockpiled (February 11, 2025)
Liberty and Finance…
Summary
The world is undergoing a significant economic reset characterized by nations stockpiling gold, potential remonetization of gold, and a collapsing financial system, prompting individuals to prepare for personal and global changes.
Global Economic Shifts
Nations are repatriating gold from London and New York to protect against potential financial instability, signaling a global monetary reset.
The $300 billion Treasury reserves being unfrozen with Russia in October-November 2023 indicates significant changes in international financial relations.
The U.S. may need to scramble for gold as global trade dynamics shift, potentially leading to a revaluation of gold to monetize its balance sheet.
Real Estate and Inflation
Housing deal volumes have collapsed to 50% or less of what they were 2 years ago, with starter homes becoming unaffordable for the average person.
Hidden inflation through shrinking packages, additional fees, and denial of reality is eroding people’s purchasing power and savings.
Systemic Changes
The reset of everything encompasses a reset of thought processes, financial systems, and the world order, requiring comprehensive preparation.
Government waste of billions to trillions will no longer flow into the system, causing asset values and the real economy to shrink.
Personal Preparation
People need to be emotionally and spiritually hardened, in good physical shape, and have a strategic living location with food, water, and monetary protection.
The student debt load is becoming the biggest national asset, with the higher education “gravy train” potentially ending.
Average hardworking Americans have had their tax dollars used against them through policies like open borders and support for hostile ideologies.

Profit from Pessimism…
Summary
Trump’s political approach, shaped by deal-making and elite connections, raises concerns about the societal implications of AI and the potential for a two-tiered system that benefits a small elite at the expense of the broader population.
Historical Inflation Patterns
Inflation spikes occur in cycles, with 3-4 spikes during periods of disinflation or low inflation, followed by decades of low inflation, as seen in the 1940s and 1970s.
The 1940-1952 period saw a 12-year consumer price increase of almost 100%, suggesting the current inflation cycle could last until 2034 if following a similar pattern.
Demographic and Economic Pressures
Baby Boomer retirement will strain Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, potentially leading to government-induced inflation to fund these programs.
A global economic slowdown, particularly in China, may not immediately increase energy prices, but future supply destruction and money printing could trigger an energy price spike.
Government Fiscal Policy
Continued $2 trillion deficits and government borrowing will likely sustain both economic growth and inflation, mirroring the 1940s strategy to manage post-war national debt.

Summary
Trump’s political approach, shaped by deal-making and elite connections, raises concerns about the societal implications of AI and the potential for a two-tiered system that benefits a small elite at the expense of the broader population.
Trump’s Political Style and Influences
Donald Trump’s political approach is rooted in his business background, focusing on deal-making and negotiations, as evidenced by his Project Stargate press conference on the first day of his hypothetical second term.
Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn, taught him the “art of the deal” and connected him with organized crime figures and top politicians, including Ronald Reagan.
Technocratic Vision and AI Impact
Eric Schmidt, along with Henry Kissinger and an MIT professor, posits that AI will create a two-tiered society, with the top tier developing and maintaining AI, while the larger second tier loses understanding of AI’s impact on their lives.
This two-tiered society could lead to cognitive diminishment, where people become increasingly dependent on AI for decision-making and lose the ability to understand its impact on their lives.
Global Technocracy and Population Control
Henry Kissinger’s connections with dubious oligarchs like David Rockefeller and his mentorship of both Trump and Clinton aim to create a global technocracy where an elite class micromanages the masses, as seen in his national security memorandum viewing third world birth rates as national security threats.
