American Birthright: Phase II Update

Trump’s plan to open America’s federal lands for mining is more than politics — it’s a once-in-a-generation resource play. From lithium to gold, a new boom may be brewing. And for savvy UK investors, this could be the early-stage window to watch.

All Eyes on an Irrelevant Fed

The Fed dominates headlines, but James Rickards argues its power is more illusion than reality. Real money creation happens in the banks, not at the Fed. And when U.S. rates fall, it’s not stimulus — it’s a recession warning. For UK investors, the lesson is clear: don’t watch the Fed’s theatre. Watch the markets that will shape your pension, your gilts, and your savings.

Elon’s New Political Party Will Fail

Elon Musk’s plan to launch the America Party may already be doomed—but not without consequence. From Roosevelt to Ross Perot, history shows that third parties rarely win... but they often change everything. Could Musk accidentally hand victory to the very political forces he opposes?

Superintelligence Will Never Arrive

Everyone’s convinced AI is destined to surpass human intelligence. But what if that’s just another overhyped Silicon Valley sales pitch? In this piece, you’ll discover why AI still can’t generate new knowledge, why it struggles with common sense, and why the so-called “superintelligence” may never arrive at all. From hidden energy limits to degraded training sets, the reality of AI’s future is a lot messier—and less inevitable—than most people think.

The Truth About Fort Knox and Gold Leasing

Trump and Musk promised to audit America’s gold reserves live from Fort Knox. Then—silence. Jim Rickards unpacks why the visit never happened… and reveals a deeper truth about gold, government control, and the hidden dangers of the paper gold market.

The BRICS Go Their Own Way

The BRICS+ nations aren’t launching a gold-backed currency or abandoning the dollar just yet—but don’t be fooled. Behind the headlines, a slow-motion revolution is underway. From building their own World Bank-style institutions to expanding gold reserves and settlement systems beyond Western control, this year’s BRICS Summit in Rio marks a critical shift in global monetary power.

On the Brink: India vs. Pakistan

The latest India–Pakistan conflict is no border skirmish—it’s a dangerous escalation between two nuclear-armed rivals. In this urgent briefing, Jim Rickards explains why this standoff is different, how it could spiral fast, and why investors should be watching it closely. From energy disruption to global contagion, the risks go far beyond South Asia.

Green New Scam Is Dying

I’ve warned for years the green agenda was built on shaky economics. Now it’s starting to collapse—and UK investors are feeling the fallout. In this piece, I break down what’s really happening behind the ESG narrative, and what it means for your money.

Trump’s ‘Nuclear’ Deportation Options

Trump’s immigration crackdown is facing its fiercest resistance yet—not from migrants or politicians, but from activist lawyers and rogue judges determined to grind his agenda to a halt. For UK investors exposed to U.S. markets, this legal showdown could shape everything from trade to growth. Here’s what’s at stake—and how it could end.

The Collapse of Communist China

Behind the façade of growth, China’s foundations are crumbling. Web excerpt: China was once seen as an unstoppable superpower. But beneath the surface, its economy is cracking, its population is shrinking, and unrest is rising. Jim Rickards lays out why the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party may be closer than anyone thinks—and what it could mean for global markets.

Will AI Take Over the World?

AI hype is everywhere—from stock market booms to superintelligence scares. But are we really on the verge of machines outsmarting us all? Today, I unpack the truth behind the headlines, the real dangers (hint: it’s not killer robots), and why the AI arms race could have more to do with China than you think.

How to Protect Yourself From the Tech Bubble Bursting

The AI boom feels unstoppable—but so did radio, railroads, and dot-com stocks before their crashes. In this piece, we explore the eerie similarities between today’s Magnificent 7 tech stocks and past bubbles, why Nvidia’s dominance could be more fragile than it appears, and how to hedge with hard assets like gold, silver, and real estate before the next correction hits.

The Death of Globalization

Global trade is fragmenting, but the U.S. dollar still rules—and a silent financial crisis may already be underway.

The Everything Hedge

In this piece, I explain why I don’t see gold as just an inflation hedge—it’s what I call the everything hedge. From central bank buying to BRICS strategy and flat global output, the forces behind gold’s rise are stronger than ever. If you’re not positioned yet, now’s the time.

A U.S. Recession is Coming —and Britain Won’t Be Immune

I’ve warned for months that the U.S. is heading for a hard landing. Now the signs are undeniable. And if you think this is just an American problem, think again—because what’s coming will hit the UK just as hard. Here are the three threats I’m watching, and what to do now.

Don’t Sleep on India

I recently returned from India—and what I saw shocked me. Not because of the poverty, but because of the potential. Beneath the noise and chaos is one of the most overlooked investment stories of our time.

How to Protect Yourself From the Tech Bubble Bursting

AI stocks have soared. Big tech dominates the market. But every great boom ends—just ask investors who bought RCA in 1929 or Cisco in 2000. Here’s what history tells us about where this bubble is headed—and how to protect your portfolio before it’s too late.

Gold’s Historic Rally

Gold shattered the $3,000 barrier—and the rally may be far from over. Jim Rickards unpacks what’s driving gold’s surge, what Trump’s Fort Knox visit really means, and why talk of monetizing U.S. assets is sending shockwaves through the financial world.
