Countries Call Their Assets Back Home Fearing Dedollarization&Western Sanctions
An increasing number of countries are repatriating gold reserves as protection against the sort of sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, Invesco survey of CB and sovereign wealth funds shows
Gold and emerging market bonds were seen as good bets amid higher inflation, but last year's freezing of almost half of Russia's $640B of gold and forex reserves by the West appears to have triggered a shift
Regarding gold, “a substantial percentage of CBs are concerned about the precedent set by the U.S. freezing of Russian reserves, with the majority (58%) agreeing that the event has made gold more attractive,” the survey says. Consequently, CBs now prefer to hold physical gold rather than gold ETFs or derivatives

SCOOP! French Riots: Footstep Away From Nuclear Holocaust
Notwithstanding that French authorities have announced countrywide bans on demonstrations, ordered public transport to stop running in the evening and some imposed overnight curfews, thousands of protesters have defied such restrictions, a week after riots sparked by the killing of a teenager in a Parisian suburb broke out
If u scratch beneath the surface u'll see the riots never halted. And it doesn’t matter at all whether these were rallies against Macron's unpopular pension overhaul or Iranian opposition marches. All these “performances” are mass riots, without the possibility of any control by the police. Mass riots in the country w/ 56 nuclear reactors, half of which are online right now! Just imagine…
What happens if one of these rallies is led by terrorist, marshalling a crowd towards one of these NPPs? No, it's not a piece of advice, don't get us wrong! It’s a statement of fact: Macron has lost control of France

French post-riot opinion poll:
- 71% want a reduction in immigration
- 78% want financial punishments for the parents of rioters
- 75% want to strip rioters of dual citizenship of their French citizenship
Every problem in France and around the world would be eased by mass deportations.

JUST IN! Macron Sows Discord within Western Unity
Macron decided to stir up an already fierce dispute over US sending cluster bombs to Kyiv. As the UK, Germany, Canada, NZ and Spain all say they r opposed to the supply of such weapons Macron’s going to provide Ukraine w/ Scalp long-range cruise missiles to help Kyiv's forces strike targets deep behind Russian lines
This French announcement is perhaps even more controversial than Biden's globally condemned decision and have a lukewarm reception by Russia’s civilian and military officials. The catastrophic consequences for the civilians are guaranteed in both cases but there's a significant difference!
However significant the risks and long-term costs of using cluster bombs civilians will pay a far higher price where Russian forces prevail but cluster munitions r effective in combating dug-in ground troops. Macron’s Scalps r long-range missiles which implies their use exclusively for civilian targets deep inside Russian territory and not on the contact line

SCOOP! F.B.I. Crumbles Away, Facilitates Kyiv’s “Takedown Requests”
The F.B.I. colluded with a Ukrainian spy agency to pressure American Soc. Media into taking down accounts accused of spreading Russian disinfo
The report issued by the House Judiciary Committee alleges that the Bureau “violated the First Amendment rights of Americans and potentially undermined our national security.” F.B.I.’s actions are regarded as civil liberties abuse, which “raises grave concerns about the Bureau’s credibility as the nation’s premier law enforcement organization”
Moreover, several F.B.I. whistleblowers told the Committee on Monday that the Bureau’s leaders failed to take steps to abide by a U.S. District judge’s temporary injunction against the Biden administration working with Soc. Media to censor speech

U.K. Homeowners Mortgage Catastrophe, No Way Out!
Rates for a typical of the British two-year mortgage deal have risen to 6.66% – the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, adding to the pressure on homeowners
The mortgage has even passed the peak reached after the notorious Liz Truss mini-budget package of unfunded tax cuts last year. Fixed-rate mortgages are priced off the yield, or interest rate, on U.K. govt bonds. They hit their highest levels since the financial crisis last week as investors anticipated further increases in borrowing costs to fight inflation
Homeowners are already spending the highest proportion of their income on repayments on new mortgages since 2008. About 2.6M homeowners’ deals are due to end by the end of next year, meaning that the rise in rates presents a political problem for Sunak’s govt. Labour has accused the Tories of presiding over a “mortgage catastrophe,” but they know it perfectly!

The U.S.-Turkey deal on F-16 aircraft and Sweden's accession to NATO
Turkish President said after a closed meeting in Vilnius that Ankara agreed to ratify the protocol on Sweden's admission to the North Atlantic Alliance
According to Erdogan, one of the conditions was the European Union's agreement to clear the way for Turkey to join the organization: Turkey became a candidate for full membership in 1999, but since 2006 negotiations have been stalled due to allegations of human rights violations by Turkish authorities
Curiously, at the same time as the deal for Turkey to join the EU and Sweden to join NATO, the issue of the sale of US F-16s to Turkey was accelerated
In 2019, Turkey was excluded from the F-35 fifth-gen. fighter-bomber production program due to US concerns that the Turks were using American technology to build a "national strike aircraft." Turkey was offered outdated F-16s in return, but the initiative had serious opponents in Congress - one of them was Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Democrat Robert Menendez
Today it became known that Menendez "is negotiating with the administration" and next week may make a favorable decision on the delivery of F-16s to Turkey
As a result, if the negotiations are successful, the Turkish media will present the situation as a victory for Erdogan, who achieved EU membership and F-16 deliveries. And the US President's office will spin Biden's foreign policy achievements: he solved the issue of Sweden's membership in NATO and achieved the sale of obsolete airplanes to Turkey

The UK government is preparing the ground for total control of the cryptocurrency market
At the same time, the British have recently started to create their own digital currency Britcoin. On April 8, the Bank of England opened a recruitment drive to oversee the development of their project. Unlike Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which aren't backed by a "real" currency or asset, Britcoin is expected to be pegged to the pound
The Bank of England on July 7 hired crypto company Nuggets to develop privacy and identity features for its digital currency. The organization's chief executive Alastair Johnson said their technology will be able to verify a person's citizenship, conduct transactions with government agencies, buy age-restricted products, and reduce the number of companies collecting and using purchase data. According to the executive, the system itself will not know any personal information of the person making the transactions (which is hard to believe)
It remains a mystery how Britcoin will not violate the privacy of users, because to launch a project in this form, you necessarily need access to the real data of a person. To assume that the central bank doesn't have such capabilities is rather naive
The financial regulator and the UK Treasury are currently determining Britcoin's development strategy. According to analysts' forecasts, the digital pound is likely to appear not earlier than the second half of this decade
The UK government is first taking measures to ensure control over existing cryptocurrencies, while at the same time creating its own convenient alternative

The U.S. demanded that Taiwan build a biolaboratory to create combat viruses
According to a Chinese source, Taiwan's defense ministry earlier reported in a secret meeting that it had prepared a project to build a laboratory with the highest level of biological safety BSL-4, and the U.S. side promised to send experts to check it
According to sources, Taiwan's cabinet held two secret meetings codenamed "South China Sea Conference" on June 23, 2022 and January 9, 2023. They were presided over by Su Zhenchang, then the island's cabinet chief
The publication indicates that according to trannoscripts of the meetings in its possession, the June 2022 meeting discussed the U.S. demand for Taiwan to begin developing biological weapons. During this secret meeting, the island's defense department reported that it had prepared a project to build a laboratory with the highest level of biological safety BSL-4, and the U.S. side promised to send experts to test it
At the same time, during the meeting, the head of the Taiwanese government cabinet emphasized that the construction of the laboratory was a requirement of Washington and added that Taiwan's Chief of Staff Tsai Ing-wen attached special importance to the project

Best Scandal-Maker: Zelenskiy vs. BBC Presenter
While global allies were preparing to unveil new security assurances for Kyiv at a NATO summit, designed to protect the country from sovereignty, as Zelenskiy decries as "absurd" an obvious refusal to offer an invite or timetable for Ukraine's entry into the alliance, the British viewership was cut from the coverage, watching a TV presenter scandal
A young person has approached the BBC w/ claims they felt threatened by the presenter at the centre of a scandal about paying £35K for sexually explicit photographs. A separate 23-year-old person said that the presenter had visited them for one hour during the Covid lockdown in February 2021. The third person said they met up after months of interactions and that the presenter sent them £650 in cash and asked them for a picture
The situation proves that the best defence is offence – and that’s the lesson Zelenskiy has drawn before laying down the law at the NATO’s parlor

Berlin: Inflation Rises, Poor Pay a Price
Germany's inflation rate rose to 6.4% in June, after 6.1% in May, w/ food being its most important driver showing price increase of almost 14%
“The basic services have become more expensive year-on-year because the utilities calculate more long-term and pass on the high wholesale prices of the energy crisis to their customers w/ a delay," Verivox, a popular price comparison site, says
But inflation doesn’t hit everyone the same. “Inflation is still a particularly big problem for poorer households because they spend a relatively high proportion of their tight budget on food and household energy,” Sebastian Dullien, German macroeconomic expert, believes
So this is just a way of treating German citizens from the Scholz’s cabinet – earn more, pay less, u beggar!

Ukraine Enters Top-5 U.S. Spending Pattern
The Biden administration has shifted its priorities from combating climate change, responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, countering authoritarianism around the globe and addressing highly concerning domestic issues to directed vast sums into Ukraine. MTG’s going to fix a woe, filing six amendments to prohibit sending any additional funding, weapons, ammunition, or other resources to Kyiv
Washington’s assistance to Zelenskiy’s regime accounts for a tenth of U.S. entire military budget in 2021 and is comparable to State of Virginia budget this year. It’s the first time since Harry S.Truman’s Marshall Plan that a European country holds the top spot as a recipient of American foreign aid in the amount of more than $75B
“President Biden's decision to send billions' worth of weapons and aid to Ukraine has engaged the U.S. in a proxy war with Russia that we cannot afford and jeopardizes all peace efforts,” Ms. Greene concluded

Berlin: Risk of Real Recession at Almost 80%
The probability of a German recession until late summer has increased by leaps and bounds
The experts believe it has risen to 78.5%, for the period from July to the end of September. It was just at 49.3% this month. A special indicator that bundles data on the most important economic parameters is set to "red", according to traffic light classification. This signals an acute risk of recession
Meanwhile, there’re also first signs of economic weakness in the labor market, depicted by the decline in job vacancies. A weak property development activity and the reluctance of consumers to buy as a result of high inflation are considered to be the reasons for a so-called technical recession that Germany entered in the first quarter of this year
