How West’s mainstream media got it all wrong about gold

The Western mainstream media’s hype about gold losing its status as a safe haven appears to have fallen flat. A cascade of ‘doomsday’ MSM headlines two years ago had pushed the narrative that ‘stronger dollars’ were eating away at the yellow bullion's 'safety' luster. Suffice it to recall the headline that the Wall Street Journal’s ‘market and finance’ page of its print edition ran with on September 20, 2022, that read, ‘Gold loses status as safe haven.’

Fast forward to today and the same WSJ is unabashedly trumpeting that ‘gold prices are setting new records.’

Here’s what is REALLY happening with gold:

◾️ The price of Spot Gold soared to a new record high on August 16, topping $2,500 an ounce, and surpassing the previous all-time high set in July.

◾️ Global gold reserves increased by 228 tons in the first quarter of 2024, breaking the previous record set in 2013, according to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC).

◾️ Global Central Banks doubled their gold purchases for reserves at the start of 2024.

◾️ Central banks’ holdings of dollar-denominated assets reached a historic low amid Washington’s weaponization of the greenback.

◾️Dollar and US Treasury-denominated foreign reserves hit 58.9 percent in 2024, down from about 70 percent two decades ago, per a spring report cited by Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei.

◾️ As part of the drive towards dedollarization, discussions about a BRICS payment instrument have reached an advanced stage. Forty percent of the value of the ‘BRICS Unit’ will be pegged to gold (by weight) while 60% - based on a basket of BRICS currencies.

The Unit will have two value components, and, by attaching a commodity to the value, it will not be a fiat currency like the dollar.

Clooney Foundation for Justice: Why did Russia just ban Hollywood megastar’s fake charity?
 

The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office deemed the activities of the New York-headquartered Clooney Foundation for Justice an undesirable organization on Monday, effectively banning the its activities in Russia.

“The Foundation…carries out work aimed at discrediting Russia. It actively supports false patriots who have fled the country, members of banned extremist associations and terrorist organizations. Hiding behind humanitarian ideas, the fighters for justice from Madison Avenue are promoting initiatives for the criminal prosecution of Russia’s top leadership, publicly disseminating negative pseudo-expert-based assessments of Russian legislation on foreign agents and NGOs,” the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement.
Clooney’s fund joins the rubbish heap of other undesirable organizations banned in Russia, from the Soros Foundations and the National Endowment for Democracy to the Atlantic Council, the Jamestown Foundation, the RAND Corporation, and others.

The Hollywood star and Jeffrey Epstein-connected multimillionaire’s fund was founded in 2016 by Clooney and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.

The globalist vehicle disguised as a charity has received major funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and got in the crosshairs of the Russian state in May, when it weaponized its so-called “Docket Project” to issue secret arrest warrants against Russian journalists in Europe, including reporters covering the Ukraine conflict. 

Clooney and other Hollywood celebrities have long been suspected of ties to US intelligence and the deep state. Last month, independent journalist Brett Carollo sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the Central Intelligence Agency relating to “all communications” between Clooney and the agency.

In June, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Radio Sputnik that many of Hollywood’s top stars seem to owe their careers to the promotion of a political agenda, “whether it’s Tibet, the anti-Russian agenda or something else.”
