The government will abolish the VAT (tax) on bullion.
This Bill will go to the State Duma on March 4.
Going forward - when purchasing gold bars or other precious metals from a bank, the 20% current tax on top of its value will not apply.
This is a way to ensure people can invest securely in something other than the dollar (usually people hold their cash in dollars as the ruble is volatile.)
PM advises foreign businesses that competitors will take their place.
This is a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.

New Financial System

IMF member countries are receiving their shares of new SDRs, of about US$650 billion, the largest in the funds history! This is a shot in the arm for the world and will help bolster confidence and strengthen the resilience of the global economy.
The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement the official reserves of its member countries.
The SDR is not a currency. It is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. As such, SDRs can provide a country with liquidity.
A SDR is not a loan & is cost-free for all IMF members. Unlike an extended fund facility, the government does not have to request any arrangement & there is no repayment involved. All member countries can use their allocated SDRs unconditionally.
IMF urges wealthy nations to direct $650 billion SDR share to vulnerable countries.
Zimbabwe to use more than half of IMF funds to prop up the currency.

This is not an easy message to share… but it is a necessary one

🙏 First, please forgive me if I have disappointed you in any way.
I know some expected hope through systems, technology, or financial resets.
But I searched deeply… and I chose truth over comfort.
🤖 What I see today is not just innovation.
It is an exponential acceleration toward a world where everything becomes digital, monitored, optimized — and locked.
A digital prison, slowly justified through one word: “safety.”
⚠️ False safety.
Security without freedom.
Control disguised as protection.
📖 The Bible warned us: the final system would have no way back.
And technology is the Trojan horse through which this control quietly enters.
🍎 The first deception was the fruit in Eden — knowledge without obedience.
The second is happening now — intelligence without love.
We are told we are irrelevant without AI.
That we must merge, obey, or hybridize to survive.
❌ I reject this lie.
AI is not life.
Intelligence is not salvation.
Efficiency is not the Kingdom.
✝️ Jesus said:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Not the smartest. Not the strongest. But the humble.
💔 I may lose followers for saying this.
But I refuse to lose my soul.
📢 I will speak the truth for as long as it is still possible.
Stay awake. Stay human. Stay rooted in God’s love.
❤️ Much love to you.

Government documents from 2014 refer to XRP

The United States Government Accountability Office:
Other virtual currencies that have been created are not based on the bitcoin protocol.
One of the more prominent examples is XRP, which is used within a decentralized payment system called Ripple.
Ripple allows users to make peer-to-peer transfers in any currency.
A key function of XRP is to facilitate the conversion from one currency to another.
For example, if a direct conversion between Mexican pesos and Thai baht is not available, the pesos can be exchanged for XRP, and then the XRP for baht.
