Summary
➡ Gold is the foundation of our monetary system, acting as a signal for what’s needed in the economy. However, the introduction of fiat money, or currency without intrinsic value, disrupts this system, acting as a form of price control. The article also discusses the history of gold and the U.S. monetary system, including the Federal Reserve’s role, the closing of the gold window by Nixon, and the potential consequences of revaluing gold. Ultimately, the author suggests that the true value of gold is suppressed and that a revaluation could lead to significant economic changes.
➡ The text discusses the value and control of gold and its two prices: the industrial and monetary. It suggests that if trust in the dollar and other currencies backed by it collapses, gold could become the primary means of exchange. The text also criticizes Bitcoin, arguing it lacks inherent value, and discusses the dangers of idolizing such digital currencies. It emphasizes the importance of stable money value for a sound society and criticizes inflation and the loss of money’s value over time.
➡ The text discusses the evolution of value representation, starting from physical objects like stars and gold, to more abstract forms like statues, paper money, and digital currencies like Bitcoin. It highlights how these representations become increasingly detached from their physical origins, making them more unstable. The text also contrasts this with the enduring value of tangible commodities like gold and silver, which have been valued throughout history. It ends by questioning the real value of digital currencies like Bitcoin, which can’t be physically held or seen.
➡ The text discusses the importance of honest money and the dangers of cheating with it, using biblical references as examples. It highlights the significance of gold and silver as stable commodities for exchange, and how their misuse can lead to societal corruption. The text also criticizes the current financial system, suggesting that it’s based on theft and is unsustainable in the long run. It emphasizes the need for a return to honest, stable forms of money to ensure a healthy society.
➡ The speaker believes that the Western world is in a late First Temple period, similar to the biblical era of good and bad kings. They see Trump as a figure who is trying to destroy evil and remind Americans of their roots. However, they predict that America will face difficulties, especially in liberal cities, and advise people to move away from big cities. They also discuss the complex issue of debt and the Federal Reserve’s role in buying it, which they believe could lead to economic instability.
➡ The current financial system is unstable due to increasing overnight lending and decreasing bank reserves. This imbalance could lead to a financial crisis when the system can no longer support the high volume of trades. The complexity of the system makes it difficult for the average person to understand, leading to a lack of awareness about the potential risks. It’s important to prepare for such a scenario by building a supportive community, having some savings, and staying calm.
➡ The speaker suggests having enough silver to survive a year in a worst-case scenario, with the rest invested in gold and gold stocks. They emphasize the importance of understanding your financial situation and risks before making decisions. They also discuss the potential for gold and silver to become crucial in an economic collapse, as these precious metals could help maintain a division of labor and prevent widespread starvation. Lastly, they mention their personal experience of growing food locally in Israel and the potential challenges of self-sustainability in a crisis.
➡ Rafi Farber, known as the End Game Investor, shares his insights on gold and silver markets and monetary theory through various platforms including YouTube, Substack, and Patreon. He also offers biblical lessons on money, economics, and government. Rafi recommends Miles Franklin for buying gold and silver bullion. In a separate incident, Rafi was accused of assault, but he recorded the event and claims the media coverage was false. He is now suing for libel and continues to oppose what he calls “medical tyranny.”
Transcript
Changers. Hey, guys. Welcome back to Resistance Chicks, where your hosts, Leah and Michelle, you’re tuning in for a very special episode of the Outliers. We have with us Rafi Farber. He’s a sound money guy, and I want to say he’s one of the leading voices in sound money today. And I’m so thankful that he’s on our show. We’re not going to just talk about gold and silver. We’re not just going to talk about sound money and the descript, the destruction that the Fiat dollar has had on the world. We’re going to talk about a lot of things.
We were talking about God before we got on. We were talking. He’s literally in the Middle East. We were talking about everything that’s going on over there and the instability. We’re going to have a phenomenal time today. But Rafi, I want you to, first of all, welcome to the show. But I would love for you to tell our viewers who maybe they’ve never heard of you, maybe they don’t even know, you know, what to, to make of a guy that, whose, whose soul channel is for just sound money. I know you do a lot more than that.
Your, your channel is called the End game investor on YouTube. And we’re going to make sure that everybody knows how to find you throughout the program. But tell people who you are, how you got into this and where you’re at, which I think is also super cool to have you on the program from the Middle East. Okay, so I’m from Miami. I’m from the United States, Florida. And I came here in 2007 because a girl pulled me in. So. Yeah, so I went to elementary school with my, with my wife. I didn’t really talk to her back then, but she Facebooked me in 2007.
And I was in New York at rabbinical school, at a rabbinical school I shouldn’t have been at. And it’s a different thing, but I’m not, I’m not a rabbi, but I am. I’m yeshiva educated, so I know a lot of the sources, but I never did the official, like, rabbinical doctorate or anything like that. That’s it. So I came here in 2007. We got married a few months later on July, in July 2008. And then we put all our money in the market. And then a month later, month, two months later was September 2008. We lost like, three quarters of it.
It’s okay. Like, and then I was like, okay, wait a second. Something just happened here. And I have to figure this out. So I decided, like, I have to figure out what the hell is going on, why this is happening. So I read some, I read some stuff, some sources about the dollar and money, and none of it made any sense to me because it was all macroeconomics Keynesian bullshit. Excuse me. And then I’m doing the long form here because we have an hour. So I recall it was one night, maybe in 2000, in 2000 2011, and I was still looking for answers.
And I ended up on ronpaul.com which is like, it was a, it was a fan. It was a fan generated, you know, blog for his material. And I didn’t know who this guy was. I was, you know, I was a moderate Republican. I started off as a Democrat in high school, and then I was like getting more and more right wing because they were getting weirder and weirder. And so I ended up like a neocon Bush guy. And then I found, I found Ron Paul.com because I was researching partial birth abortions because I didn’t know what those were really.
And I didn’t know why. I didn’t know why people were so up in arms about them. It sounded bad. I just never looked at it. Okay. And then, and then Ron Paul, because he’s an obstetrician, had all these posts about it. And then I, and then it was like pictures and like, I was like horrified. Like, people do this. They, they, they suck brains out of babies while they’re being like, I couldn’ Americans would do something like this or allow this. Like, why can’t you just have the baby and then give it to someone if you can’t take care, why would you kill it? And, and like, and then it was, it was like an exposure to evil that I didn’t even know existed.
And I wanted to throw up. And then I was like, okay, well who’s this guy Ron Paul? And then all of a sudden he was talking about economics and money and this and that. And I was like, oh my God, he’s right. And, and then he, and then I was like, what does he think about Israel? Because I mean, I’m in Israel. So like, I typed in on the blog, Ron Paul, Israel. So he’s like, well, Ron Paul believes that if Israel wants to defend itself against Iran, against a nuclear attack, he would even support a nuclear first strike on Iran.
I’m like, that’s insane. Who says that? I’m not saying Libertarian. Ron Paul. Yeah, I’m not saying that we should go and nuke. I’m not saying that we should do that. I’m saying, like, what kind of American politician will even say something like, right. And then I went into a deep rabbit hole. I don’t think I slept that night. And I. I learned all the basic videos on his channels and whatever about Austrian economics and what it was and why it was so attractive to me is because again, I have a yeshiva background, rabbinical school background in Jewish law is based on first principles.
It’s philosophical arguments based on certain foundations. And then you go there on a logical progression to where Jewish law is today. So it’s the same sort of thinking, same sort of logical progression. It’s not an empirical study really. Although empiricism does have a place in it, you know, as evidence for certain principles. So I looked at all the books on Austrian economics. I found that this guy, I’m wearing the shirt because he wanted to talk about Austrian economics. This is Murray Rothbard. He was. He did not like Israel at all. He actually hated it. And I forgive him for that.
It’s okay. I don’t really like it so much. I hate the government here too, but this is my country. So with the government you have then I read all about Austrian economics and it was very appealing to me. So at the time I was, I was doing like biotech research. And. And then when, when Covid hit, it was, it was. This is another weird story. You know, I have these Hasidic friends in my neighborhood. A lot of them are anti vax. And I wasn’t because, like, I figured, you know, vaccines make sense, my kids are fine.
I didn’t, I didn’t really. But I was already a hardcore libertarian. So, you know, I remember sitting down, this is like February 2020 or something like that, like very, very soon before the lockdowns. And he was trying to talk to me about vaccines and polio and this. I was like, look, look, it’s like, I’m not an anti vaxxer. I believe they’re fine and they work and they’re good and we should all have them. But. But if the government ever tries to make you do that or make you put that in your kids and you don’t want to, I promise you I will be on your side 100%.
Wow. And that’s exactly what happened. And then you got your opportunity. Yeah. And they got God. God was like, all right, okay, let’s test that out. So, yeah. And then, then like once, once 2020 hit and all the lockdowns came in and then I saw where they were Going with the vaccine. And I knew, I knew, like, instinctual, like, they’re going to do this in a rush job, it’s going to be approved, and they’re going to make everybody take it. I knew it from the beginning. And. And then I was like, I really gotta. I gotta fight the hell out of this.
And that’s around when I started the end game. Investor. Okay. So I was like, in a, like this rabid state of, like, it’s all connected to the money. And all this evil is coming from the money. Because why. Why is it all connected to the money? Because the money. The money is where all the corruption, it funds the corruption. The funding to all the corruption is the money itself. Exactly. Because you can print it. Because you can print it. You can send it to whoever the hell you want. Yes. And then. And then take a. And then, you know, direct it back to you and.
And then it creates this monster of corruption everywhere. Yes. It just gets worse and worse and worse. And so my mission became like a religious mission. Like, I have to not only explain sound money, I have to explain how it’s connected to everything that is happening here. That’s good. So it all came together. And so what I do on my channel is, you know, I don’t talk about, oh, gold’s at 2000 2500. I say that like I talk about it. But, like, my point is, I want to give people a philosophical background to why gold is money.
Today, right now, it’s still money because it’s. It’s the basis to the entire monetary system, whether you want to say it is or not. Right, right, right. That sounds a lot of times we take notes, we interview people. Whether you. It is the basis of. What did you say? Repeat that? Rafi, can you go. Gold is. Money is the most liquid commodity in an economy. Right. It has to be. Because prices cannot be controlled. You can’t have price control. So if you can’t have price control because prices. What do prices do? Prices are supposed to give you a signal for what is missing in the economy.
What there’s too much of what needs to be done, what doesn’t need to be done. So people know what to do in the morning when they get up and go to work. Yeah, That’s Every price does that. But if you, if, if you say that fiat money exists, that it just, you know, it’s just a piece of paper or a digit that people agree on, well, then what you’re saying is that when you introduce that money into everything, it’s price Controls of everything. Because what. You’re just determining how many units of nothingness each thing is. That’s really good.
That’s. That’s not price control. One thing. That’s price control of the entire economy, which is beyond impossible. Price control of one thing is impossible. Carbohydrate for sure. You know, prices of every. Price controls of everything is 100% impossible. So then you have to ask, what the hell is this thing? And the answer is it’s a dollar derivative with a whole bunch of debt behind it. Yeah. You know, denominated in the same dollars that are payable in the same gold that the Fed dollar values at $42.22 an ounce. Because they’re lying about it. Could you sit on that for a second? Because we haven’t really talked to our.
It’s really interesting. We haven’t talked to our viewers too much about the federal price of the $42.50 versus that’s. Yeah, that’s price. Could you explain that a little bit? Okay. The problem is, like, my brain, my mind gets filled with like, the current chatter, and then I kind of forget, like, where this all began. So the $42.22 an ounce, like before there was any. Before the Fed started buying debt. Right. The Federal Reserve was basically a big storage house for gold certificates. Right. In 19. In 1933, FDR stole all the gold and then stuffed it into three places, into Denver and Fort Knox and West Point, I think.
And then the Fed couldn’t print. They wanted to inflate their way out of the Depression instead of letting prices keep falling. So in order to inflate their way out of the Depression, they need the statutorily. They needed more. The Fed needed more gold with which to print more money off of. So they imagine that if they just hand out more money, then things would get better because that’s what was missing. There wasn’t enough money. The problem was there was too much money. And they printed money in the 20s, way too much of it. And then the whole price structure got messed up because they were printing too much.
Because they were printing too much money, which is the other side of debt. And then when you have too much money in the economy that people can’t pay, if the money is the debt and it’s the same, it’s two sides of the same coin, then when people stop paying that debt because they don’t have enough money, well, then the debt goes away and the money goes away, and then you’re left with a price structure that’s based on a higher money supply with now a smaller money supply and all the prices are wrong. Right? So that means people, people get laid off and then you have a depression and then nothing.
It takes time to readjust. So instead of letting them, letting it readjust, you know, FDR decided to, you know, make all these public work projects. And then he funded it with inflation. And in order to keep inflating, he needed more gold because the Fed couldn’t print more money without the gold to back it. So he stole it all. And that’s, that’s what really happened. Right. In 1971, Nixon, by then everyone from FDR to Nixon had printed too much money to fund all the wars. Especially Vietnam was a big one because that was unwinnable and crazy. So after all this printing like that, the foreign central banks were redeeming gold for.
Redeeming their dollars for gold, and gold was draining out. And so Nixon closed the gold window and said, well, we’re just not going to give any more gold anymore and we’re just going to pretend that it’s $42.22 an ounce. Unbelievable, right? And what’s, what’s the point of pretending that it’s $42.22 an ounce? Well, the gold in the Fed is gold that you cannot get, right, because there’s, there’s no access to it. So if gold is for, if the dollar is still gold, and it still is, it’s mostly like 95 debt garbage, right, because of all the debt that was issued.
But when you take all that away, there’s still supposedly gold in all these places that the Fed has certificates that are based on that stuff. And so when it, when it goes away, when the debt goes away, you’re left with the gold. And that’s what’s going to happen in the end game. It all goes back to that. And then the whole Tower of Babel falls over and you’re left with just the gold again. So the, there’s going to have to be some kind of a revaluation by the market that there’s the, the money supply is like 6 is like 20 trillion something.
So if gold is $42.22 an ounce and the money supply is like $22 trillion, there’s not enough gold in the solar system to redeem all those claims. So the, there’s, there’s two ways to deal with that. Either you let everybody, all the banks fail, all the deposits disappear, the money supply shrink back to what it was in 1933, which, you know, you thought the depression of 1929 and 1933 to 1945 was bad. Imagine a depression based on the money supply shrinking by, you know, three orders of magnitude. Like everybody loses everything, or you could just inflate everything out and then, and then the dollar loses almost all of its purchasing power, and all the purchasing power goes into gold anyway.
However the purchasing power goes into gold, whether because most of the money supply disappears or because the money supply gets inflated to such a degree that the dollar is worthless, it’s all the same thing. So that’s what people are talking about now that they’re talking about auditing the Fort Knox in that the golden Fort Knox is valued at the $42. Yes. And so what would that even mean if they had to reevaluate the gold in Fort Knox? Well, let’s put it this way. So I was saying that gold is valued statutorily at $42.22, but that’s gold you cannot get.
So if there’s a, if there’s a revaluation to, let’s say, market mark to market, so what is gold now? 2950, 2960, something like that. So let’s say, let’s say Trump says, okay, now the golden Fort Knox is valued at 2960. Well, then what happens to the price of gold? That means that the gold in Fort Knox, you still can’t get it because the gold window is still closed. So gold that you cannot get is 29.60 an ounce. So then what does that do to the market price of gold that you actually can have? Right. Wow. It rises by orders of magnitudes from, from 2960, let’s say like 20,000 in about two or three days.
Isn’t that roughly what it should be anyway if it wasn’t so suppressed and artificially kind of controlled? Yeah, we can talk about the suppression and the artificial control. It’s not exactly artificially controlled. It’s sort of, you know what I mean, though? It’s not, it’s not a true value. So what you, what you would define is like, what’s the fair value of it? The thing is, you know, we talked about, about price controls, right? So the, the hallmark of a price control is very simply, let’s say you go to a store and they have like a sale on tomatoes, right, Instead of what’s, what’s the price of tomatoes now in Ohio? Oh, like a dollar 99 a pound.
That’s what I’d guess. Okay, so dollar and a pound. So let’s say there’s a. Let’s say there’s like this sale on tomatoes and they put it down to like 40 cents a pound, right? Then you say, Then you see in the, in the, in the vegetables, the vegetable aisle, tomatoes are 40 cents a pound limit, five pounds per customer, right? That’s a shortage. That means. Why are they limiting you? Because, because if you’re going to try to take advantage of this and buy all the tomatoes, no one else is going to have any. Which means the price for tomatoes that they’re giving at that sale for whatever reason, let’s say they got to get rid of the stock or something, it’s below the market price.
That causes a shortage. That means they’re limiting you. You can’t buy as much as you want. That’s a shortage. So if there was really, if the price of gold were really being manipulated and controlled, then there would be a gold shortage. There’d be like a jewelry shortage. You wouldn’t be able to buy a wedding ring. You wouldn’t be able to buy gold necklaces that, you know, you go to the jewelry store, you say, we’re out of gold today. That’s not happening. So the, the, the price of gold is not being controlled in that way. However, there’s two prices of gold, right? There’s gold, there’s the, the industrial price of gold, which is pretty fair, which is why you can still get your jewelry and whatever else you need gold for.
If a dentist needs to buy a supply for, I don’t know, for dental fillings or whatever he uses it for, you can get it. There’s no shortage. But the monetary price is, is the price where. Imagine in a world where nobody trusts the dollar anymore, and therefore they don’t trust any other currency because every other currency is backed by the dollar. That’s what reserve currency means. That literally, that’s what it means. Every since Post World War II, every other Central bank, you know, America conquered the world, basically was in charge of everything and said, here, take our dollars.
You can build your money supplies on this dollar thing. And then if you ever want your gold back, you can redeem the dollars for gold at 42 or 35 or whatever it was at that point. So I lost my train of thought. What was it? Where was it? Yeah, shortage. Okay. Yeah. So two prices, two prices for gold. The monetary price for gold is, let’s say that central banks and every. Everybody, they don’t want their gold, they don’t want their derivatives anymore. They don’t want their dollars, they don’t Want, they want to get their gold back.
So what would the price of gold have if everyone who had dollars sent them all in to get any amount of gold? What would the exchange rate be right now? It could, there could be a lot of different ones. There could be. To cover the entire money supply, it would have to be like $60,000. If you’re going to divide, you know, $22 trillion by a thousand tons. Right. Or it could be if they’re gonna, if Trump is going to allow the banks to fail, maybe. Well, then you could have, then the gold would have to back the amount of the, the amount of assets on the Fed’s balance sheet, which is about 6.8 trillion less than the money supply, because the money supply pyramids on top of the Fed’s money supply, that would be about 30,000.
So it depends, it depends what’s going to happen. But the point is it doesn’t matter what the dollar price is going to be. The end game, the end game is going to be you’re going to, you’re going to go to the store and things are going to be priced in ounces, right? In ounces of gold and ounces of silver. That’s what they’re going to be priced in. Nobody’s going to care about the dollar. And it should be. And that’s where we get to. And a lot of people, I don’t know how you feel about bitcoin, but I feel about it the way Lynette does.
So she’s really bold about it. Or any kind of digital currencies, money itself, like, like pro Bitcoin or anti bit. We’re very anti Bitcoin, any kind of digital currency. And Lynette always holds it up and she’s like, if you can’t hold it, you don’t own it. Like, that’s our stance. Okay, so I have, I have something important to say about that, but continue your question. Yeah, so what when it comes to money, a lot of like, especially with the bitcoin craze is people have gotten into Bitcoin because they think it’s an investment, whereas the, the supposed initial foray into bitcoin was supposed to be another transaction of money.
The, the stability of money, the stability of the value of money to not go up and not go down is what makes a society sound. Is it what makes. Makes everything tick. What makes. Which you’re talking about prices and price versus price controls and sort of a capitalist type market only works when the money stays the same. And I know I, you Know, we talk about wet wealth preservation with the gold. And as you were talking about, you know, yes, maybe you’re going to come up, come out on top as a stacker and, and you will, but it’s not supposed to be that way.
The idea is, I’m with you. This dollar should be a dollar. Okay? This is, this, this is, this should not be an investment. It’s money. It’s a means of exchange. And so it’s hard for people to wrap their brain around the fact that, that this is not in it. This should not be a place where you’re putting investment because we need to be using this as, as money. The problem is, is when they have inflated it to this point where they don’t. The, the. They’re not even printing anymore. There’s just.00,00 zeros. We only have faith in this idea that, oh well, 3% inflation and now whatever, wherever we’re at here in America, which is a lot more than three, I can tell you that.
Okay? And it’s painful and it hurts, but people don’t understand that that money, for the first 200 years of this nation, a dollar was a dollar was a dollar, you could actually save a dollar and 100 years later it was worth a dollar. And people don’t quite understand that. So that was my point. Right? Okay. So look, about bitcoin, you have to differentiate between bitcoin and blockchain. Blockchain is cool. It’s probably useful. It’s probably also very dangerous, like any technology. And I have no problem with blockchain being used as a way to divide money. But I’ll use two analogies here.
Like imagine you have, imagine you have pipes under your house. This elaborate plumbing system where pipes go into everyone’s house and you have sinks and you have bathtubs and all this stuff or an electricity network or whatever is wires, and there’s nothing in them. So then what the hell is the point of the pipes? The pipes have value. Why do the pipes have value? Because there’s water in them. You need the water. You don’t need the pipes. The bitcoin network is valuable in the sense that it can transfer data, it can transfer claims of ownership on things.
But what is a bitcoin itself? It’s nothing. There’s nothing there. It’s a safe that you find the code to it, you open it. Inside is another safe, and you open that one, and inside that is another safe. And it just keeps going and going and going. There’s nothing in it. The, the Other analogy I’ll use is a more religious one. Okay. And this. You have to kind of open your minds a little bit. So the. The. The Pentateuch, right? The first part of the Old Testament, the first five books. What’s the point of it? Right? So when you.
When you get to the first stories, you know, there’s one God, and he created man, and then man, you know, sinned, and then generations got worse, and then there was a flood, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Okay? So there. The. There’s a medieval rabbi named Maimonides, And I think St. Thomas Aquinas was contemporaries with him and quoted his work a lot. I’m not sure what Aquinas wrote. I think his books are famous with Christians also. So, yeah, 100%. So Maimonides, we call him the Rambam. He says, like, what. What went. Like, the. The point of the.
Of the. Of the first five books we call the Torah is that God is trying to hammer in our heads that we should not worship idols. Okay, stop doing that. There’s only one of me, and that’s it. So how did this start? So. So the Rama asked, how did this start? How do people start worshiping God? What kind of stupid idea is that? You put a statue and you bow down to it, and you’re like, this is my. This is God. I just made this thing, and now it’s God. And now I’m bowing down. What are you doing? How did this even happen? Okay, so he says, well, this is.
This is how it happened. Adam knew that there was a God. Cain, Abel knew that there was one God because he created them. And, you know, he talked to them, so it was obvious. And then there was another generation called Enos, which means man. It’s the. The third generation is Enosh. And he had this idea that, you know, God is a little bit far away, so the stars in the sky, like, they serve him. So I’m just gonna pray to the stars, and then the stars will tell God what I want, and then, you know, they’ll help me.
They’ll be my middleman. Okay, you know, that’s not so crazy. But then it got even weirder. Like, somebody in the next generation said, well, the stars are too far away, and, you know, they only come out at night. So I’m gonna make, like, a form for the star, like this circle thing, and I’m going to make it really nice and shine it up and put it in this temple. And then I’m going to ask the statue. I’m going to pray to the statue and the star will know that the statue is a representation of the star.
And then the star will ask God to help me, and then my crops will grow, right? And then what happens generations later is a kid walks into that temple, sees this guy bowing down to this form statue of whatever the hell it is, and says, well, that must be God. But look, look, look what happened here. You start with the spiritual, which is God, and then what happens is you make a derivative of it. The stars, okay, we know with modern science that they’re physical, they’re just balls of gas. But they didn’t know that they were spiritual.
So they’re sort of spiritual, sort of physical. Some kind of like in between thing, you get more physical and then you go down and you make like an even more physical thing, right? And then the derivative layers from spiritual get more and more physical as you get away from God. That’s good. Okay, now with money, it’s the exact opposite, okay? We’re in the physical world. Money is for physical transactions, okay? You have the spiritual, you have the physical world. Like we’re bowing down to idols, is crossing the streams like Ghostbusters. You don’t do that. Okay, now with, with money, what happens? You start with gold.
Very, very hard, physical, one of the heaviest, you know, elements in the world. And then you go to a derivative. You’re like, well, gold’s heavy. I don’t want to carry it. So I’m going to make a piece of paper that will represent it and I’ll put the gold in some, some guy’s house who promises to keep it safe for me. Okay? Is it money? No, but it represents it. And if it’s honest, okay, you can use it. And now the guy in the bank says, well, I have this thing, I have these, I have these certificates.
I’ll just make more of them so I can buy more stuff. And then if somebody wants the gold, I’ll give it to him, but I won’t have all of it. But nobody’s going to ask for all of it at the same time. So I’ll stack more and, you know, I’ll put. And then I’ll credit his bank account with data and he has like $10. I’ll just tell him that he has. And I’ll tell him that he has 15, right? And. But it’s not all there, right? If he wants the paper, I’ll give him the paper, but it’s not all represented in his account.
And you get more and more and more spiritual Higher and higher in the derivative layers. Then finally, after all of that, you what? After that, you have, like, debt, right? Debt, Debt. I’m going to owe you these digits which don’t really exist, which represent the paper, which represents the gold. And then after that, you have bitcoin, which represents the debt, which represents the deposits, which represent the paper, which represent the gold. You have this entire humongous pyramid. And where is bitcoin on it? It’s at the top. Why? Why is it at the top and why does it go crazy? Because it’s at the top and it’s the least stable.
And when you’re in the. When you’re in the stratosphere, you can’t breathe, you feel high, you feel drunk, and you don’t even know where the hell you are. That’s good. No, that’s really good. And. And I’m sure you. That was beautifully done, by the way. That was amazing. And that explains, like, even the meme coins that, you know, with. With Javier Melee. I’m sure you saw that, like, kind of that. That rug pool, as they call it, where people lost a ton of money just overnight. How does that even happen, you know, with the, The. The meme coins? Do you know any.
Do you know anything about the meme coins versus, like, the. The actual bitcoin? Because I have. Man, I gotta tell you, I have a lot of cryptocurrency friends, especially in this circle. When you start to go down the round, the Ron Paul vein and the libertarian vein, I’m sure you found it that there’s a whole bunch of crypto bros and gals now who will say, yeah, but bitcoin is not like any other cryptocurrency. Well, because it was the first one. I don’t know, because it’s more stable is what people say. I just. So my, My opinion on it all is like, you.
I think it really lands where you put it. I think that, you know, bitcoin being at the top, it is the most unstable and it’s the most farthest away from something physical. My mom actually, literally, we were at a secondhand shop and she picked up this. She cleaned it just to show on our show today with you. And she’s got these little forks and spoons. Like, these are. This is. She had to clean it up, like, so we know it’s silver because it was gray when she bought it. Right? These. This is real. I hold it in my hand.
It is going to have a value. These coins are going to have a value. Show me Your bitcoin. Where is the bitcoin, like, in all of this? Like, you show it to me. I can’t even, Even pipes are metal. You talked about the pipes to go to your house to get the water. Like, even they are metal. And so what I try to encourage people is, you know, so many times we get told like, Michelle, Leah, Michelle, I can’t get into gold and silver. Well, Lynette holds up her little. What is her little chopsticks that she’s got and she holds up her.
I’m like, listen, you can go to. I think my mom paid like a buck for this, right? I don’t know that. I don’t know what the value is because it’s not going to be 100 silver. That’s not the point. The point is that, like, this is something that has literal value. When you look at like all of the wars, like the Civil War and people were coming in and what did they do? They stole the silver. They would take. Yes, they would take the silver. Why they didn’t come in and go, where’s your Bitcoin? You know, like, I’m just.
They. They stole the, the ham, they stole the potatoes, they stole the food, they stole. In an end game scenario to your, to the name of, of your. Your podcast and, and program. In an end game scenario, no one wants to come and steal your digital currencies. And you know what’s interesting is I think that maybe we could back off the digital currencies. There’s. There’s the meme coins, there’s the bitcoins, there’s cryptocurrencies, there’s. You talked about blockchain as a whole of what it, what it does in the, in the infrastructure. And then you have the fact that right now my money is in here.
It’s in, it’s in the. Like, I’ve got a bank account and it has some digital zeros to it. Right? Like even that is. It’s. It. It can be gone in an instant. Like, it can be. I don’t have it in my possession. So then you’ve got like a paper dol. And you look at the Civil War and you know the, the, the money from the south, right? They used that to. Yeah. The Confederate dollars to wallpaper people’s homes afterwards because it literally had no value left anymore. But what we find throughout history is that the silver and the gold has always had.
From the beginning of time, you, you went back to the Torah. The silver is mine, the gold is mine. Like the, in the beginning you had this, this, this gold that God talked about. It’s his, like, God. You want to talk about money? Do this for me, Rafi, because, because we do. We go back to the beginning together. Talk about what you feel, how God views as money. Because we can go throughout, specifically the Old Testament, and you see over and over and over again. I don’t see many fiat currencies in the Bible. I’m just saying I haven’t seen it.
What are you. What is your take on. We call it God’s money, right? That’s. That’s literally what we call it, God’s money, because that’s what it is. It’s. There is no other currency that God wanted us to use. Am I wrong? I don’t think there is. There is a. There’s a divine imperative on gold and silver as money. I think it’s a little bit different than that. The word money is just a word that we use for a commodity that happens to be the most liquid. So God. God gave us many, many different liquid commodities, right? There’s a lot of commodities that are liquidity, meaning through time and, and through transactions, right? So what makes gold and silver so liquid is that you can’t really damage them.
I mean, silver tarnishes, but that you can get. You can fix that in, like, very quickly, and they never go bad. So basically all of the, all of the gold that has ever been mined is still above ground, basically. And look, but even if you go very, very early into Genesis, even before the Garden of Eden, there’s this, there’s these random verses about, about gold, right? And it’s just. There’s, like, sticking out there, like, sore thumbs, like, why are you talking to me about gold? Right? Like, the, the gold of that land is good. Like. Right.
Okay, so what. But what’s, what’s the point? I think the point. The point of that is that gold God is saying, like, I’m setting up everything. I’m setting up the garden of eating. I’m setting up, you know, commodities for exchange here. Yeah, because they’re, they’re very good for that. And, and everything’s going to work. Like, I’m making it so you have everything that you need that’s good. Right. Don’t get too fancy. The, the. The other, the other imperative on would say imperative. The, the other place where, where gold and silver show up prominently is. We’re talking about the, the Passover Seder before we started recording, like, what was, what was the, the commandment that the, that the people of Israel had To do it was a commandment for every one of them.
But before, before they slaughtered the, the Pesach sacrifice in their homes, which is basically saying to the Egyptians, your God is nothing. We’re going to slaughter it and eat it and barbecue it and you’re going to smell it and there’s nothing you could do about it. Before they did that, they were commanded by Moses, who was commanded by God to tell the, the people of Israel to go into every one of their houses and ask for the gold and silver. Like get, get your payment. Yeah. And, and who’s, who’s whose gold and silver really was that? Well, it was the gold and silver that was collected by Joseph hundreds of years before that’s really came to Egypt.
When everyone came to Egypt and had, they didn’t have any food. So Joseph knew it was going to happen. Come on. He said, look, give me your silver and I’ll give you food. Because I knew this was going to happen. He was the first stacker. So we just got the money back. So we, we got, we got the money back. So he’s saying like, if you want a stable society, this is what you have to use. Doesn’t mean you can’t use a derivative, doesn’t mean you can’t have debt, doesn’t mean you can’t use paper if you want to, but don’t lie about it.
That’s good. Create more, don’t create more derivatives. Then you have money. It’s the money that’s the, that. That is the holy thing that is created by God. That’s really good. You create the derivatives, fine, create the derivatives. Build a house, do what you want, but don’t lie. Right. That’s really good. You know, we try to explain to people what, you know, the properties of money. I’m sure you’ve been over this. Divisibility, portability, durability, recognizability and scarcity. You know, high value in relation to volume and weight. This is a really great book that I recommend for anybody.
This is by Gary North. It’s an easy read. Honest money. Honest money. And it gives out a biblical blueprint for banking and money. And it takes you back into the, the, the Torah, especially there and then. And some of the prophets. Isaiah talks about it a lot, but with, with the fiat. The way I kind of explain it is when I read in Leviticus, you shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight and. Or volume. You shall not. You shall have just balance, just weights. Adjust EFAP and a. Just hin I, who knows what those are? Maybe you do their volume.
They’re, they’re volume and weight measurements. Got you like for, for liquids and solids. Okay. And I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. And when I look at the fiat dollar, it is in direct contradiction to this because it is, it’s what they used to do with silver, as I’m sure you’re aware, is they used to clip it, right? So they would like as a way of cheating, kind of clip it, clip the edges off and it would get a little bit lighter and get a little bit lighter. And so people would carry around actual measuring, you know, weights.
And people would like maybe pad their weights or make them lighter so that, you know, the real money is, you know, is, is heavier or lighter, whatever. And, and there’s, it, there’s. I don’t know how many times he says this, but God says it so many times. He really hates when you cheat with money. Like he really hates it. Do you have like, as in a rabbinical school? Did they teach you why God hates that so much? No, no, it was more, we learned Talmud in more of, you know, logical deduction on where Jewish law comes from.
But you should know that Jewish, that Jewish law in Second Temple times we had a silver standard. It wasn’t a gold standard, it was a silver standard. And it’s interesting that the verse that you quoted, the end of it is, it’s the signature Israim, I am the Lord your God that took you out of the land of Egypt. So from there the rabbis infer that whoever cheats on their weights and measures is like denying that the exodus from Egypt ever took place. And so you, you quoted, you quoted Isaiah. So in the first chapter of Isaiah, I think it’s verse 21.
Could be verse 20. He taught, he, he says, your silver has become dross. Yeah, right. And that, that can be interpreted as poetic and I’m sure on a level it is poetic because Isaiah is a, is a book mostly of poetry, very, very literarily flowery. But there is, there is one rabbi by the name of the malbeam 19th century rabbi that says, no, it’s not necessarily poetic. He’s being literal here because Isaiah in the verses before that is asking himself, like I’m looking at this people, Isaiah is already in the time of the late, late first Temple when things are already starting to get shaky, right? And, and the, the society is already being corrupted.
He’s asking how did this happen? How is, how did Jerusalem turn into A society of murderers. This, this society that was supposed to be based on one God that took them out of Egypt and then stand for justice and freedom and liberty. How did it become like, how did this happen? Yeah. And so his answer is, how did it happen? It happened slowly. It happened because you’ve cheated on your silver and you clip the coins and you started selling it just so you could get a little bit more profit. And from there, from there, it’s, it plants a seed and it takes generations, it takes hundreds of years for that, for that evil seed where you’re just trying to save a little bit money or water down your wine or clip your silver right from there you get used to it, and then you.
And then it becomes legitimate. And then you have. And then other people start cheating too, so you have to clip even more to stay in front of the competition. And then, and then you’re all just serving, you’re all just selling a bunch of garbage. And then, then you, then you have to start murdering to like get, to get your. Wow. It just gets worse and worse and worse. But that’s where it all starts. Wow, that’s, that’s, that’s why, if you want to, if you want, look, spending cuts and what Trump is doing, it’s all good. It’s all good.
But if you don’t get rid of the poison root, it’s all going to come back worse. And what do you see as the poison root? Like, when you’re looking at the poison root, how would you explain that? Because I think I know what you’re going to say, but I want to hear you say it. Explain it. Look, it’s that, that, that theft is legitimate. Wow. The, the, the whole Keynesian movement, right, from, from inflationary cycles have happened again and again and again in American history. It wasn’t like for 200 years, everything was fine, and then there was a fiat dollar.
It’s like, you know, things were. Theft was more decentralized, right? So the thieves lost money and then the honest people were able to survive. But then the government got more and more powerful and they just started centralizing the theft, right? So it looks, it looks more stable because a more centralized theft system, you can, you have a bigger pool to steal from. So every time, if you have a humongous pool and you take like a cup, you can’t see it. You can’t see it go down. But then eventually you empty the pool and you got nothing.
So which is where we’re at. I mean, literally, they’ve been doing that with the dollar for the past 100 plus years. And now we’re at the bottom of, we’re at the bottom of the barrel of the value of the dollar. Like it’s. Imagine they were cutting, you know, they just started shaving and shaving and shaving. One of our biggest things we love are the pilgrim forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Massachusetts. And there’s the Plymouth Rock there. And you go to visit it and there’s this big portico above it. And when people go and visit it, they’re always like, that’s, that’s it.
And because it doesn’t. It’s not that big, I want to say maybe it’s like, what, 10 by 10 or something. And you would think that it’s going to be much, much bigger. Well, over the years from like, you know, I would say like 16, 40, people would go and they would chisel off hunks because they wanted to take a piece of the Plymouth Rock with them. And now there’s not much left. And so when you look at the dollar that, you know, I’m holding up a silver dollar for the. If you actually hold it, I think it would be much better.
What I mean is, like, they’ve been shaving it and shaving it and shaving it. Like if you were to take out like a dollar bill and cut it into 100 strips, exactly, you would have three left. Like, that’s all that’s left. And we started out with a whole dollar bill. And so I love that you, that it’s, it’s a lie. It’s a lie. It’s a lie. They’re. They are. They, they cause you to believe that something is. We were just talking yesterday about when we were kids. I mean, you’ve been in, in Israel since 2007, but like in the 90s, I think we’re probably roughly the same age.
In the 90s, you could go to Wendy’s and you could get a Biggie fry for a dollar, you could get a Biggie drink for a dollar, you could get a sandwich for a dollar. And they’ve been trying to hang on to that because it sounds so great to sell something for a buck. But even McDonald’s had to up to $2 because $3, because it’s like you can’t do it the same anymore because the dollar isn’t the same as it was when we were kids. We used to be able to go to the grocery store and you could walk out of the grocery store with a basket full, a cart full of groceries for 25 bucks.
And now. And I’m like, I don’t feel that old. Like, that is kind of now. You can’t get out of the store with a cart full of groceries for less than 100. And so we are this frog in boiling water, and they’re. And they’re lying to us. Rafi, maybe you could talk about. And I know that our viewers know this in part, but. But I, I feel like some Coming out of a different mouth, it might, Might sink in better. How inflation is the silent tax, how they are skimming off and they are taking. Every single time it gets cycled through, they are taking.
And we are the ones that get the short end of the stick. Could you explain that in. In a way that maybe if people aren’t getting it, they could get it? Yeah. Okay, so look, if I. It. It’s when they print money, it’s not like they just like, invent dollars and then spread them around, right? If, if. How. How it works is that the Federal Reserve buys the debt of the treasury, and then they, they give dollars to the treasury, and then the, the. The Fed has the debt, and then those dollars are ultimately owed back to the central bank.
So it’s a loop that keeps feeding on itself and can never close. Now, what if, theoretically, if they were to, let’s say, put $5,000 in everyone’s bank account overnight, then there would be no inflation. It would just be higher prices, but everyone would have more purchasing power because they’d have more dollars. So the prices would just go up for everything, you know, by. Let’s. By, let’s say, you know, half a percent. If everyone has 5,000 more dollars in the bank account, nobody loses anything. You just have to spend more dollars on the same stuff that you have more dollars to spend.
So it’s fine. Right? The whole, the whole, the whole problem with inflation is that it makes that the, the. The government gets the money first from the Fed, then they spend it. And the act of them spending it is what increases the money supply. And once the money supply increases before they spend it, even the minute they spend that money on bombing Ukraine or sending Israel money, which they shouldn’t be doing, or whoever, they’re sending money to transgender surgeries. You know, let’s just look up Doge. You can find all this money. It has been an amusement.
Yes. Okay, so the act of spending that money is what. Is what raises the money supply. But when they spend it, prices are what they were before they spent it, because then once they spend it, prices go up. For everyone else. So the inflationary process inherently, inherently richens, enrich, enriches, enriches, enriches the people that get it first. And through the mechanism of the system, the people that get it first are the treasury and everything they spend it on and all their cronies. By definition, that’s what inflation does. And as the money cycles through, the people who get it last are the wage earners and, you know, people who are doing honest business and honest work.
So they, it. It’s in their interest for the system to continue. But we’re living in a house of cards. I want to maybe shift our conversation, you know, into so your end game investor, right? Let’s, you know, do some hypotheses. I think as we, as we move forward, because I think this is always really fun. You know, we none of us know exactly what’s going to happen other than the house of cards is going to fall. Like we know that much and we know that there’s going to be a lot of, of pain involved. If for a.
You even I was so impressed with you in the interview that we watched the other day. You’re like, and people will die. So bluntly, you got that too. And lots of people will die. And I was like, well, that’s true. He just said it like, I mean, they vaccinated me. It could be that I’m on the spectrum and I am autistic. No, it was great. But I do want to talk about, I want to give people some hope because I do think that there is hope to be had. It’s not hopium. I think that there’s real hope to be had in the midst of all of this.
So when we’re talking about so the house of cards that they have built since 1913 with the petrodollar, the paper dollar, the fiat dollar, all of this kind of ridiculous. The cycle that you talked about how, you know, you deposit $10 into the bank and then they can lend a million, you know, or whatever. Like this is. This whole system literally cannot sustain itself. In 2008, you, it should have completely collapsed. They, they went and like put up a bunch of. That was kind of. We were already gold and silver people from her homeschool books when she was a teenager.
But our grandma had died that year and we were trying to help our uncle, who was the estate executor, sell her stuff. And we were a GM family and my grandfather had like, like his, like retirement. And so I don’t know if you’re aware, but GM and Ford Went to zero. Yes. Like, I don’t know if anybody knows. And we kept telling him to sell and we would like, watch it drop by, like 20 bucks and 20 bucks and 20 bucks. Then it’s down to $8. And we were telling my uncle, we’re like, sell now before it gets to zero.
You know, screaming in his ear, like, this is not getting any better. It’s like, I think over a third of what she had was in this GM stock. And I’m just like, you don’t understand. You got to sell now or there’s nothing. And there wasn’t much left by the time he finally, I think he literally sold it at $9. My grand, my, my mother and my uncle who lives with us, they needed my, what my grandma had to, you know, sustain on because my uncle’s disabled. And it was, I gotta tell it was our, like, I’m like, stocks are evil.
I’ve, I watched it, I watched it just disintegrate. Now there was some PG stock, PNG stocks, and, and they, they, they restabilized and things like that. But GM and Ford, they died. They, they, they died a death. And so the government bought two car companies, literally brought what, what should have happened in 2008 is everything that you’re predicting is going to happen should have happened then. It should have. It did. Yeah. But I can prop it up again. So maybe you could talk about, you know, obviously I’m not going to ask for a timeline because none of us really know it could happen today.
It could happen, you know, 10 years from now. But I think it’s going to be much sooner than later. And then what, how you see that unfolding and then, and I know this is a very broad, you know, question here. You can do with it whatever you want and, and what people can do to, to kind of help not just physically prepare, but mentally and emotionally prepare for what’s ahead. I, I don’t, I don’t have, I don’t have an exact timeline and I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. But, but I, I again, going back to, you know, Israelite history, I can, I, I track, you know, I, I know, I know the, the First Temple period more than most Jews.
I actually read the Bible. That’s the problem with a lot of Jews. They just don’t know what’s in the book. But it seem, it seems to me that, that the Western world is in a very, very late First Temple period because you see, you see the, the kings. You have these really good kings and then really bad kings and really good kings and then really bad kings, and they keep changing policy. And the. The. The last really good king that we had, his name was Yoshiya or Josiah, and he. He reigned for about 30, 31 years, I think.
And he went on like. Like. Like a. Like a trimp. Like, blitz. Against idolatry. That’s so good. No, you. You saw it because his. His. His son was. His. His. Sorry. His father was very evil. He was a mass murderer. And his. His grandfather was a mass murderer, reigned for 55 years. And his. His father was also insane and perverted. And then. And then Yoshiyahu just, like, changed everything and. And. And destroyed idolatry and. And. And, you know, Ren even brought in whoever was left over from the Northern kingdom that had already been destroyed by Assyria and brought them in and said, come and.
Come and celebrate Pesach with us. Come and celebrate Passover with us. And it’s interesting. Like, I don’t know. I’m going into, like, a tangent here, but I have. I have a friend of mine who. Who think. Who believes that he’s from one of the northern tribes of Zebulon, and he’s. And he’s like this. He’s, like, really relaxed and. And a nice guy doesn’t really worry about much. Like, the war is. There’s war here, and there’s rockets, and he’s like, oh, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry about it. So I’m like. So I realized one day I’m like, his name is Yishai.
So I said. I said, yisha, you know what? If you’re really from. From Zebulon, like, if that’s your genes, then imagine, like, when they were being saved by Josiah after the Assyrians had already killed all of them, and, like, there’s a few stragglers left. And then Josiah invites you to a barbecue in Jerusalem, and then you’re like, oh, yeah, sure, whatever. Like, you know, why not? Sounds fun. So then, like, I see Trump as a Josiah, like, figure that he’s. He’s. He’s ripping everything apart as much as he can and destroying as much of the evil as he can.
I’m not saying he’s Josiah. I’m not. I’m just using it. I think he had the same penance of, like, look at the law. Look at what we’ve done. Like. But, yeah, I get it. Yeah. So I’m just using it as a figure. It’s good. It’s good. Okay, so I think that’s where we are. And unfortunately, Josiah, he was a great king, but he could not save. He could not save the Republic. He was killed in a war. And after that, everything just fell apart. But what he did do was that he packed away what was still good and worthy so that the Israelites still had a legacy to go back to after the exile.
So I don’t think Trump can stop the end game. It’s not possible. It’s not possible. But what he can do is remind Americans who they are and where they come from and why they were so good to begin with. And that’s what I think he’s doing in his crude way, and I think it’s great. So I. I think after him. I think. I think after him, America is going to fall apart. And now the question is the. At least politically, doesn’t mean that everyone. It doesn’t mean there’s going to be a zombie apocalypse or anything like that.
But I do think it’s going to get very, very rough in the big, deep blue liberal cities because those people have. They’ve lost touch entirely with God and with what made America great. I think it’ll be better in the suburbs and I think it’ll be relatively okay in the country. Yeah. So my advice would be. Not advice, I don’t give advice. But what I would do if I was in America is I would. I would get a homestead like you girls. Yeah, that’s the safest thing. If you can’t do that, move to get out of the big cities, get out of Chicago, get out of la, get out of New York, get out of.
Out of these big cities. Because they’re, they’re empty. They’re spiritually empty places, and they’re going to be dangerous as hell. Literally. Like, that’s not just a curse word in that, in that moment. Like, literally, if they will turn into this, this is a very dark, spiritually void place. It will be hell for those people in the cities. So I think we could have anywhere from months to a year or two. I don’t see it going farther than that because we have. You mean after Trump or like, from today? From. From today. From today. I mean, I, I don’t know.
I could be wrong on the timing because. No, but what makes me curious about. What makes you think that, like, regardless, nobody holds you to it. You’re not a prophet. Like, we can all have our own opinions, but, like, what’s, what’s leading you? What are your warning signs? It’s. It’s technical. I, I look at a lot of what I look at in the end game Investor is the, the, the deep dark monetary sewers where trillions of dollars are traded every night. And so this is, this is the, the base of the Fiat pyramid, right? It’s not really fiat.
There’s no such thing as fiat. There’s debt based money and the debt can’t be paid back, so it gets erased. Again, fiat is impossible. But, but in the sewers, in the monetary SEWERS Last night $2.4 trillion were traded. And what does that mean? It means that, that the banks that had $2.4 trillion worth of debt, treasuries, right, they need, other banks needed cash. And so the banks with the extra treasuries, the debt, dollar denominated debt, gave it to the banks with extra cash and they got that money for the night in order to close business. Right.
For the day. $2.4 trillion a night. That, what are, where do those dollars come? What are those dollars? Those dollars are called bank reserves. That’s all the extra money that started in 2008 from all the dead debt that couldn’t be paid back. So like when debt can’t be paid back either it defaults and the money supply shrinks or the Fed says well we’ll buy all that garbage. And then you have this like dead debt that stays in the banks in the form of reserves that can’t really be loaned out because it’s based on dead debt. It never gets loaned out again and you get this like big backup.
So I’m going to, I’m going to. This is one of those things, the overnight trading market. Yeah. I, I honestly do not understand. When we, when we first discovered it, I want to say like four, three or four years ago, it was somewhere around Covid. Like I cannot wrap my brain in it. What are they doing every night? Like a thinking person. Can you just go over it one more time? I, I have tried to wrap my brain around this. I, but it happens every night. I don’t, I really just don’t understand it. Can you. We don’t ever explain this to our viewers because we can’t.
And then you’ve got this. I’m going to be honest. You said there’s this dead debt that can’t be. It’s like, it’s like salt that’s lost a savor. Like it’s, it’s, you can’t do anything with it. Like there’s actual dollars you can’t do anything with. It’s not that you can’t do anything with it, it’s that there is no demand for it because the business can’t be sustained. There’s, there’s, there’s $3 trillion of, of money that used to be debt that wasn’t paid back, so the Fed had to come in and buy it all. That’s all on the Fed’s balance sheet now.
And on the other side of that stuff on the Fed’s balance sheet are the actual dollars that are out in the system because debt and debt and dollars are two sides of the same coin. So they represent each other. They bought the debt with no way of recovering it. They, they, they bought the debt, put the dollars into the system. Now there’s all these extra dollars in the sewers that can’t be loaned out because the structure of the economy as it currently exists can’t support all that business. I get you, I get you, okay, that there’s not enough people who need the loans, the big loans.
Or, or because of interest rates. Is it because of interest rates? Because I know a lot of people are, you know, builders aren’t doing things that they used to do because, you know, if you were at, what was the interest rates, like 2%, like, almost zero at sometimes. Like they were just borrowing and building like crazy. And then with the interest rates, as soon as they go up and up and up, then it’s like there’s no market for it. Yeah, but if the interest rates go down now, then you’ll have hyperinflation situation, which is what we’re going to, which is what’s going to happen when the overnight lending market freezes up.
That’s, that’s where I’m getting into the timing here. Okay. Because why would it freeze up? Okay. Very, very. It’s very simple. There’s all the, there’s all these repos that go on every night now. It’s 2.4 trillion. They go higher and high every night. Every night, 2.4 trillion. They go higher and higher. Slowly they trend higher and higher because more people are borrowing and they need to fund their trades or whatever it is because they need to show that they’re, they’re increasing their bottom line, you know, so they borrow through this overnight market in order to clip pennies from like these huge mega trades where they’re like, it gets, it gets too technical.
I get it, I get it. You’re just, you’re just getting pennies on the dollar, but you’re still, you’re taking, let’s say, you’re taking, let’s say, $100 billion, making a very safe trade on a Treasury and then netting a penny on each contract. And then you end up with like $10 million on a trade that’s basically free. Okay, so all the banks are doing this because as I said before, like with Isaiah, that if you start a culture of watering down the wine or clipping the silver, everyone’s going to follow you and do the same thing and you’re just going to poison each other.
So when the bank reserves, right, the bank reserves that are funding this overnight stuff, they’re shrinking by the week by about $20 billion a week. That’s called quantitative tightening. That’s when the Fed takes assets on its balance sheet, sells it into the economy, takes the dollars back, retires them into a black hole of nothing. No. Right. So that’s them shrinking their balance sheet. And that means if they shrink the balance sheet, the bank reserves go down, but the repos are still going up. If the bank reserves that fund, the repos are going down and the bank and the repos are going up, you’re gonna hit, you know, you’re gonna hit a wall.
Yeah. When you hit a wall, you can’t do the repos anymore. And all the trades, all the overnight trades that rely on these 2.4, $2.5 trillion every night, there’s suddenly there’s gonna be no more dollars and they’re all gonna fall down. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be one thing overnight at some point soon, in the next few months. And you’ve got Sally down the street working at the dollar store and she has no idea what they have created and they make it so difficult. I think even Thomas Jefferson said that all the laws that we have, even the Constitution, they have to be known and easily understood.
The same thing with like the irs, which is completely illegal. The reason why it stacks and stacks and stacks is, is not to, to catch you and I, it’s to cover what they are doing, right. They all, they make all their rules and all the regulations so that they can have their real estate and have their write offs and all these things, it’s for them. Then that’s what you’re saying. If people understood the, the only movie that really came out, the Wolfs of Wall street and you know, some of the. There was. Is that the one that was about the 2008 crash? That’s the only.
No, I forgot what it was. The, the, the big short. The big, the big short. That was the only one that actually I think put in layman’s terms so people could even like a titch. And you have to sit there and like, take notes. Right. I did try to understand how these overnight reevaluations happen at. Because it’s, it’s. I feel like it’s just not logical. So your brain can’t wrap around it. Is that it? It is. It is logical. It’s just extremely convoluted. Okay. Oh, that’s good. That’s a good word for it. So you’re saying at some point here we reach end game.
And then at that point it, it. I kind of. I. So we don’t want it to happen because we know people will die, as Rafi has said, and be hurt and people will be hurt and there will be a lot of suffering. But at the. When you’re living a lie like we have been living, you. I don’t want it to continue. So you want the. You want the break to happen so that we can start to heal? Because we can’t start to heal until the break happens. So what is your thought? What are your thoughts on that? Are you in the same camp of this? Like, it would be better to just get the break over with? I’ve been saying that it’s, it’s.
It’s obviously the sooner it happens, the better because the longer it takes happen, the worse it will be. But this is such a huge, gargantuan, monstrous system that none of us can control when it will fall. It’s all in God’s hands now. And, and, and, and God will dis. Like God will be with us when it falls. And, and we can just hope to rely on his help to get us through it. But there you have. Doesn’t mean you. You don’t do nothing. It doesn’t mean do nothing. You have to always balance hishtadlus or you have to.
You have to make an effort. And then when you can no longer make any effort or when you feel overstretched, like you’re like, okay, God, can you fill in the rest? And then, you know, it’s like. It’s like how my wife described giving birth. You know, it starts out hard, it gets harder. You start screaming, you can’t handle this anymore. And then when you feel like you can’t do it anymore, you ask God for help. He helps you. And then you give birth. Wow. That’s. That’s how, that’s how life is in whatever cycle. It’s like, you know, giving birth is like, I’m not a woman.
But it’s just a very contracted cycle of life. And that’s how it is. And then everything turns out okay. But you have, you have to, you have to have money. You have to have probably some ammunition just to protect yourself. You have to have a community of sane people who you can talk to and have shared values so that you can, you can embrace each other and support each other when this happens. You can’t be on your own. You have to reach out and you have to make connections. So community is really, really the most important thing.
Community, then money, skills, and stay calm. Oh, that’s good. That’s kind of a different mantra than we, we usually share, you know, Lynettes. But it’s like it. But I just like, we need to add stay calm, stay calm. I like to stay calm. So finally here as we wrap things up, what do you do? You make recommendations on, you know, how, how much to have in silver, how much to have in gold, or what, you know, you mentioned ammunition. What with your investing, what do you tell people to do? And I know you have your own gold and silver dealer, so you can go and tell people about that.
So I, I tell people to do whatever helps them sleep best at night. Okay, that’s, that’s very broad, but like it. If you look the, with gold and silver, gold, Gold will be the most stable, right? It’ll go up and up and up. It’ll go down a little bit in some kind of deflationary scare, but it won’t last long. And your per. You’ll be able to sleep the most or sleep the best with gold, in terms of your net worth. With silver, it’s, it’s more risky because it’s going to go crazy. It’s going to go up and down very extremely.
And in a scenario where the dollar completely collapses, silver will be the best investment, but it won’t be the best investment for long. Silver will return to its highest value when there is zero faith in the dollar at all. Because when there’s zero faith in the dollar, there’s no gold derivative. If there’s no gold derivative, you can’t hand in paper to buy groceries. You need to use silver coins because nobody trusts anything else. Yeah, right. And at, at that point, silver have a maximum value. But once a gold derivative system starts up again, silver’s value will fall quickly.
So you’ll have a little bit of a window of time. So if you want to play that game, you can, but I don’t recommend having mostly silver. What I reckon what, what I do for myself is I have enough silver, you know, for, to Survive, let’s say a year of, of endgame scenario and the rest I put in gold and, and some gold stocks if I want to play that. And, and, and people ask me questions like, I need to know your situation to tell you what I would do in that situation. How much money do you have? You know, how, what do you want to risk? And, and then I can, and then I can try to help, but I don’t give any advice to anybody.
What I really try to do is to help people understand the concepts so that no matter what happens in the market, you still understand intellectually where you are. You are at the base of the pyramid and the floor is not going to shake. The pyramid’s going to shake. The floor is not going to shake so much. It will, but it’s not. But you know, in an earthquake you want to be on the ground. You don’t want to be on the top floor of a building. Right where you had put the cryptocurrencies. Yeah, I just, yeah, I had to throw that in there.
Last question, just on a personal note for you. Do you have a community where you can grow food where you’re at? Well, I’m in the Golan and Israel is a tiny little country, so the, the, the farming situation or the, the farming network here is much tighter. My food comes from pretty close and I grow, I grow vegetables in my backyard and I have some chickens. But I’m not, I’m not imagining to myself, like if there’s an end game scenario and everyone’s starving to death, I’m not, you know, it’s going to be hard to defend my backyard.
So. But it’s more community based, right? Like, it’s more community based. Like you guys grow locally? Yeah, not exactly locally, but on your, on American standards. Yeah, locally. I mean, when you go, when, when, let’s say somebody in a big city goes to the vegetable aisle, where are those vegetables coming from? A lot of them are coming from like Argentina or South America. Very, very far away here. They’re coming from a few miles. Wow, that’s really local. Like that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s key when, to community, right. If you’re not coming from Gaza, they’re not coming from Syria, they all hate us.
Right, Right. So that’s what I was wondering. Like you guys are pretty, are you guys pretty self sustaining with a lot of your fruits and vegetables? No, not in that level. I have fruit trees and I have vegetables. I met Israel. Oh, Israel. Yeah, it’s hard to say. What is self sustaining? Because, because once there’s an end game and all the prices change, the entire economic system is gonna have to be restructured. But that’s the, that’s the importance of the stackers. Right. If we have the monetary like think of it, this is the last thing I’ll say.
So you don’t want to. When you, when you stack gold and silver, don’t do it to save your family and save yourself. Like the, the, the division of labor needs a money to survive. Humanity, society cannot survive without a division of labor. If what people use as a money, which is inflated, you know, and it’s dying, if that all goes away, then the division of labor is going to need a money and it’s going to need you to spend your gold and silver and to spread it around so that people have an idea of what prices are supposed to be so that they can continue some kind of a division of labor.
So people don’t. So the minimum amount of people starve to death and die. Right. You’re going to save lives by spending your gold, especially your silver. Yes. When silver goes to 15 to 1, the dollar is dead. It’s your responsibility, your moral duty to spend money and get that money out so that people have money to participate in a division of labor so they don’t die. That is exactly where we’re at. That’s the desire of my sister and I when we are trying to teach gold and silver on a practical level like we were able to teach it to.
We actually went into a high school and taught it to a group of high schoolers. It was a Montessori school, it wasn’t a public school. But it was amazing because they got it. And they were all liberals, all the kids were liberals, they were super woke liberal kids. And when we explained the monetary system, they all came up to us later and was like, where can I buy gold and silver? I was. So I was like, we did it, we explained it to them how they’ve been stealing from them. But you know, here, like in America, we’ve been working for the sound money movement in order to make gold and silver legal tender.
Like it’s not, but in order to take the capital gains off of it, right? A dollar is a dollar is a dollar. So what I tell people and I, I explain it, I explain it like this, okay, so they’re telling me and they’ve written that this is worth a dollar. Okay, so if I, if I pay you in this, okay, let’s say you do a hundred dollar job let’s say you do a hundred dollar job and I pay you, you know, three of these. Okay. Maybe a few extra on the side. If you only need to put on your taxes three bucks, $3, that’s, that’s legal.
Now of course, if you go to sell that for Fiat, then you, some states do not. Estate taxes don’t demand capital gains on gold and silver. There’s all kinds of sound money movements. Federally you’re supposed to pay capital gains on selling that, but they’re the ones. And especially if you’ve got like the 10, the $10, you know, gold coins or whatever, you want to pay somebody for a bigger job. I’m, I’m encouraging people to start now paying people with gold and silver to start if you can, to, to, to pay and to get used to it because it’s like calling their bluff.
Right, right there. You’re the one that told me this is worth a dollar. You’re the one that printed it on here. You’re the one that hasn’t held up your end of the bargain. You know, like Leah said, even the $20 gold pieces, that’s what they, they have put on there. And so that’s kind of our pushback in the system. And if you don’t need to convert. So like if you have somebody at your come to do a job at your house and you’re like, hey, are you going to save any of this? Is this ever going, is that whatever is going to go in savings? Can I pay this to you in gold and silver? Because then on your taxes you’re just paying face value.
Because they said that this is a dollar. They said that that was a ten dollar gold coin. Okay. They said that they have done that. And, and so that is a way. You know, we were talking about this with Lynette and we explained to people how can we begin now to pull our money out of the system to pull our, to, to begin to, I don’t know, to, to push back on the system. And I do think that there is a, a significant spiritual aspect to it as well. What do you think? Yeah, there definitely is a spiritual aspect to this.
Like when you, when you, when you pay in gold and silver, when you have gold and silver. I do this with my kids. You know, I, I pay them little, little mercury dimes for, for chores that you have to be done. What are you doing? Yeah, my kids, I keep it within the family. But like the, in, in the end game, people are going to be using gold and silver and no taxes are going to be collected because it will be impossible. Right? Because you need, you need thugs who, an army of thugs to collect taxes, right? And they won’t be paid because the dollar will be dead.
So everyone will be on their own. But yeah, yeah, there is, there is a big spiritual awakening when you, when you put, again when you put the physical world and the spiritual world in parallel and don’t cross them. You know, where human beings are, both physical and spiritual beings. We’re on two planes at once. So if you don’t confuse that, you, you have a lot better mental health. And, and try it. I mean, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t say spend silver on, on everything you, you want. Like, you know, a store for yourself and your family and, and, and you know the reason, let’s say in Weimar Germany that houses went for a hundred dollar bill, which represents 5 ounces of, 5 ounces of gold back then.
You can hand a hundred dollar bill in 1923 and get a nice house in Berlin. Why? Because. Why are the prices that way? Because there’s such a desperation for real money. Because without it, people are going to starve. That, that, that’s how, that’s how cheap everything became. So yeah, exercise, practice, pain, gold and silver. But make sure you have, you’re saving for the end game, for when you really need to pay in gold and silver. No, that’s really good. All right. So Rafi, where can people find you? I’ve got up your, your YouTube channel right here.
I’m going to show everybody so they can find you on YouTube, which is end Game Investor. And then your name right there, which I love your logo there, it’s super cool. Rafi Farber. So what about your sub stack? How do they find your substack? My substack endgame investor.substack.com or you can go to substack.com and type in Endgame Investor. And I, I put out three articles a week on what’s going on in the gold and silver markets. And about once a month I put out a long philosophical piece on, on monetary theory, for example, why we never left the gold standard, why silver is so important.
Why the money. The state did not invent money. Money invented the state. Things like, things like that, that give people a good intellectual backing to what exactly is going on here and why it’s so important to just continue the line. Keep stacking. I love this one. 2900 and counting. Even as tariff threats abate, something else is brewing. I like that you take on those types of things. That sounds amazing. And then they can also find you on patreon. Right? Yeah. Patreon.com endgameinvestor where I go into, into biblical lessons on money and economics and government with, with a rabbinic base on, on, you know, second Temple period, mostly what they thought, how the monetary system worked back then based on versus and how it’s supposed to work.
Oh, I love that. And then, of course, where we were following you originally is over on Twitter, Rafi Farber, rfa our R A F I F A R B E R. Rafi Farber over there on Twitter. You’re doing phenomenal work over there. So, Rafi, thank you for coming on our program. We have had a blast. I hope you’ll come back again. And you do have. I would like for you to advertise for. Who is your gold and silver dealer that you like to recommend? I work with Miles Franklin. That’s Andy Shechtman. He’s. He lives in Boca.
And I just mentioned the end game investor. And the, the good thing about Miles Franklin, why I work with them, is that they don’t, they don’t do numismatics. I’m not against numismatics. It’s okay to have a numismatic gold, but people have to understand that most of the value of numismatics is in the, the art of the thing. It’s, it’s gold. It’s art made out of gold and silver. So you’re buying art made out of gold and silver. And for anybody that doesn’t know what numismatics are, can you tell them, please? Yeah, numismatics like rare coins, rare collectible coins.
And it’s, it’s okay if you want to collect art, but that’s what you should know. That’s what you’re doing. And Miles Franklin only sells the bullion, so it’s very low premiums, good prices, and I trust them. That’s great. That’s awesome. All right, well, blessings to you and your family, and we’re so glad that you came. And like I said, we want to have you back again. Guys, remember, it’s not just a conspiracy theory if it’s actually the truth. We love you, God loves you, God bless, and we’ll see you next time. Right here from resistancechicks.com. take care.
I got booked for suspected assault, and that’s when I was questioned. My weapon was confiscated and I underwent five hours of questioning. That same day, an article came out about me in Israel’s biggest national newspaper. Ynet little did this woman know as it was happening, or while she was reporting this to the media, that I had recorded the entire event. And I’m going to read that article about what supposedly happened in juxtaposition with the video that I took of what actually happened. So you’ll see how much of a lie media coverage actually is in the Western world and in Israel in particular.
This is the article that came out in Ynet about me and my wife on November 7, 2021. The headline reads, al takshivu le Eichman ne minet korona bikatzrin sirva le hanis horeh elotavirok lagan vehut kefa. Do not listen to Eichmann. Eichmann is a Nazi that was executed by the Israeli government in 1960, who was basically in charge of administering the final solution to the Jewish problem. Nemenet Corona be Katrina. The Nemenet Corona. The Corona enforcer in Katzrin refused to allow parents to enter without a green passage to the kindergarten and was attacked less than a week after she was appointed to the task.
Alice Ben Shushan was forced to deal with parents who refused to accept the guidelines of the Health Ministry. I requested a green pass. The father entered by force and began to scream in protest of the occurrence. Studies or meaning. The kindergartens in Katrin will open only at 9:30. So what happened according to this article? First of all, that’s bad Hebrew. It’s really anyway. The Israelis don’t know how to speak. It says that I went in to the gate by force. I screamed and I was rioting and wildness and I hit her in the chest. The kindergartens in Katrina will begin at 9:30 in protest over an attack on the Corona enforcer Alice Ben Shushan that refused to admit on Friday to the kindergarten a father that did not present a green pass and broke into the Gan violently.
The father hit her in the chest and wildly hit Parea. How do you translate? Flailed wildly or something and screams in the Gan while his wife was screaming to the kids and said do not listen to Eichmann. The event on Friday began when Ben Shushan, who was appointed only last week as the Corona enforcer, stood at the entrance to the kindergarten and parents and two parents came to them with their daughter. I asked for a green pass, but he looked at me as if he wanted to eat me. Ben Shushan said, I’m sorry, Ben Shushan looking at you like I want to eat you.
No thanks. No, I will not make out with you. Did you hear that? This girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class. You got chlorophyll man up there talking about God knows what. All she’s talking about is making out with me. I’m here to learn everybody, not to make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll. He entered by force through the gate. I stood at the entrance in the passageway to the gun to prevent him from entering and he acted violently. And with his elbow he hit me hard in the chest to the point where I doubled over.
Let’s see what actually happens, shall we? And Ben Shushan says that the couple went into the gan and sat down by one of the tables of the children. He started to walk around crazily and screaming. His wife in the meantime screamed to the children that were very, very stressed out and said, do not listen to Eichmann. Their daughter cried hysterically. Let’s see how terrified the children were and how my daughter was crying. As I said before, all charges against me have been dropped. I am now in the process of suing this woman and Wynette for liable against me and my family.
I keep asking for the guidelines to the entrance of the kindergarten that day and nobody can give me anything in writing. I have never worn a mask. I have never taken a PCR test. I have never been part of this from the beginning. And I intend never to be part of a medical tyranny. God was with me and my family that day. God will continue to be with me and my family. And to all of the brave souls who are fighting this with everything they have, the people on the other side are nothing but a bunch of cowards.
Cowards. And all we have to do is say one thing to them when they try to break up our families and tear our children away from us. You shall not pass. This is Rafi of the End Game Investor. The End Game is not only regarding the economy and investments, regarding society and social behavior and the breakdown of social norms and common decency. But for however long it takes, I will stand up with the rest of my family and say enough. If you’d like to support me, then consider signing up to be my patron on Patreon, where you will get a weekly video of biblical commentary on economic and monetary policy topics.
Or you can sign up for a two week free trial of my investment newsletter, the Endgame Investor link in the description below. And if any of you want to see the full unedited video of the event from start to finish, you can see it at the link in the description below. And of course, always remember, don’t listen to Eichmann.
