Besant laid it all out—during the CNBC interview, he directly said everything the U.S. is doing is to restore trust in the dollar. Geopolitically, they’re targeting Venezuela and Iran; economically, they’re going all-in on AI. Whether you’re spending or earning, you have to use the dollar. Walsh’s goal is the same: controlling the dollar. Ultimately, it’s all about driving U.S. bond yields down so they can keep playing the game of dollar tidal harvesting on the global stage. This aligns with my previous assessment. Gold has no hope in the short term, but BTC looks promising later on.
