News Date: September 4, 2022

Towards the end of July, news emerged in the Russian media that Moscow and a number of its Eurasian allies are now reviewing a proposal to create an entirely new trading and pricing infrastructure for the international precious metals in order to both destroy London and New York's monopoly over global precious metals pricing and to stabilize the Russian gold market.
The basis of this new structure will be a new, specialized international precious metals brokerage headquartered in Moscow, which will rely on the MWS.
Russia is also proposing to fix prices of precious metals in the national currencies of key member countries or via a new monetary unit - such as the new BRICS currency proposed by Putin.
The price-fixing committee would include central banks and other large banks from the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
Member states of the EEU are Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The idea would be to make membership attractive to big gold players like China, India, Venezuela, Peru, and other South American countries.

Capitulation or Bluff? Trump’s Lone Ranger Strategy

At the start of the conflict, Donald Trump demanded “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” from Iran, saying there would be no deal otherwise.
Now the tone seems to shift toward the possibility that the war could soon end.
So the question remains: capitulation… or a strategic bluff? ♟️ And another one: is this also about control over oil? 🛢️
Trump often acts like a political Lone Ranger—bold ultimatums, sudden turns, and unexpected diversions.
After all, in love and war there are no rules… and in geopolitics, even a small mistake can be seen as weakness. 🌍⚖️

Satellites transferred to Space Force by October

While the Democrats in Congress are Trying to Abolish the Space Force, The chief of Space Operations announced the transfer of Army and Navy satellite communications billets, funding, and mission responsibility to the U.S. Space Force.
At the beginning of October, some of the satellite communications responsibilities of the US Army and US Navy will officially transfer to the hands of Space Force DoD.
The move puts basically all of the DODs narrowband, wideband, and protected SATCOM under control of the U.S. Space Force.
Now all of that training, operations, acquisition, and sustainment and follow-on activities, user allocations - all of that, will be consolidated under the Space Force to create that unity of effort, and hopefully gain the ability to be more resilient, more dynamic, and ultimately more efficient with that mission set.

Vatican-Backed Report Urges Global Debt Relief

🙏🏛 A new Vatican-backed report, authored by a commission of leading global economists and experts, calls for urgent global debt relief to address the escalating crises of development and climate change. The Jubilee Report highlights that 54 developing countries now spend over 10% of their tax revenues just on interest payments, diverting critical resources away from health, education, and climate resilience. The report urges systemic reforms, including fairer debt restructuring and a reimagining of global finance to serve people and the planet, not just profits.
This initiative builds on the vision of Pope Francis, who declared 2025 a Jubilee Year focused on debt forgiveness and justice. Now, this mission is being carried forward by the new Pope, Leo XIV, who emphasized at his inauguration the urgent need to overcome economic systems that exploit the Earth and marginalize the poor. Under his leadership, the Vatican continues to champion debt relief as both a moral imperative and a practical step toward global equity and sustainability
