We are being joined by Alex Christoforou in Athens Greece, who along with his colleague Alexander Mercouris, have become an internationally recognized duet known as The Duran -- a leading voice in the alternative media started in 2013.  The Duran provides very eloquent analysis about crucial geopolitical issues such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the international order, events in China, the Middle East and Africa, American and European economic and political developments, and deep insights about our very rapidly changing world.  Many of our frequent guests on this program such as Ray McGovern, Dr. Jim Garrison, Scott Ritter and Michael Hudson have acknowledged The Duran as being on the forefront of non-partisan, objective, geopolitical analysis of current events and how these events are shifting our perspectives about the strengths and weaknesses underway within the global community. Alex comes from a diplomatic family in Cyprus, was educated in Canada and has had a career in journalism with a focus on politics, economics and technology.  Alex and the Duran post upwards to 3-4 programs daily and can be found at TheDuran.Locals.com. Their video commentaries can also be found on Youtube, Rumble and Odysee.

Massive U.S. dollar dump? BRICS to launch new currency causing tsunami of inflation - Andy Schectman

Andy Schectman, President and Owner of Miles Franklin, discusses his thesis that the world is poised for a monetary reset which would result in the BRICS having their own reserve currency, likely backed by gold, and how this goes hand-in-hand with de-dollarization trends that are currently unfolding. He tells Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and Lead Anchor at Kitco News, how a 'tsunami of inflation' would ensue as dollars are repatriated to the United States, which would cause a corresponding 'crash' in asset prices as interest rates rise accordingly.
