Fed policies will be rocket fuel for gold and silver

Fed policies that are coming soon on inflation, and interest rate suppression will be rocket fuel for gold and silver. And gold and silver are just getting started. If Bitcoin is $10,000 per unit, why cannot gold be $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 per ounce? With the amount of dollars out there, it could easily be $5,000 or $8,000 per ounce, and that is where it is headed.

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
