The US $$ is used a lot throughout Central and South America. I've even heard that roughly 20% of the all dollars in circulation in these countries is fake. The US Treasury doesn't really care. The important thing is that the dollar is held in high esteem. It's also why they have never attempted to make US notes difficult to counterfeit.
It will certainly be interesting to watch how things progress. I'm all in favor of gold backed currencies.
I can't sauce this but I have read in the alt financial press that HSBC are in a lot of trouble with the current price of gold. They bet the house on gold going down back in 2012 and have been underwater ever since. (They were founded to launder the profits of the drug trade out of Hong Kong, so historically dirty anyway).
Overall, the major issue with the price of gold going up is that the entire financial system is underpinned by gold which has been rehypothicated dozens of times. Financial instruments are also geared using gold and the presumption that the price won't rise. I therefore suspect that if gold continues to go up, it will blow the financial system apart. HSBC will be one of the first banks to fall (along with Deutche Bank).
Is that good or bad for POTUS? I honestly don't know. It could be that his team is fighting to keep the gold price down and the Cabal is letting rip, knowing it will cause massive structural damage. Or POTUS could be letting the gold price rise, knowing it will seriously damage the Cabal's financial fuckery.
I don't think we have much longer to wait, to find out the answer.
Central banks and paper-based fraud are the mainstay of the Cabal. That's why they have to go.
I get the feeling that the original collapse timeline for the current financial system was set to be about 2022, right in the middle of Hillary's second term. The $$$ was going down the toilet, the USA would become a third-world country and the IMF / World Bank would introduce a new one-world paper currency.
The Cabal have continued with many of their plans using Obama as shadow-president. POTUS has acted as a wrecking ball behind the scenes. This is one of the reasons that we do not appear to have many wins on the board - a lot of the action has been taking down schemes and people who are not in the public eye.
The Cabal HAVE to win in Nov, for their plans to succeed. Just as POTUS & Q have to win. If POTUS loses, they will come after him and his family, and do a Tsar Nicholas job. If the Cabal lose, they're all going to swing in the biggest purge of evil we've ever seen in history.
