We are seeing more and more moves that are chipping away at the dominance of the US dollar for trade. Notice the following about Singapore:<\/p>\n

BRICS: Tourists in Singapore & China Pay Chinese Yuan, Not US Dollar<\/h2>\n

December 11, 2023<\/p>\n

BRICS member China teamed up with Singapore to allow tourists the option to pay in the digital Chinese Yuan and not the US dollar. The move is to enhance convenience for tourists who visit both Singapore and China for vacations. China\u2019s Central Bank launched the digital Yuan as a pilot batch and now allows overseas travelers to pay through it. The move will also reduce the usage of the US dollar for transactions in both China and Singapore by tourists. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

China is steadily advancing to uproot the US dollar\u2019s dominance in the global markets. BRICS is convincing several other developing countries to trade in local currencies and cut ties with the US dollar. The move could hurt the prospects of the US dollar and reduce its demand in the international markets. https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/brics-singapore-tourists-pay-china-chinese-yuan-not-us-dollar<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA has pushed many against it through its sanctions and increasing debt. The use of what Hillary Clinton called that USA’s “soft power” has been a type of bullying that many nations around the world have resented.<\/p>\n

Notice also the following report:<\/p>\n

December 10, 2023<\/p>\n

The death of the petrodollar is one of the key waypoints in the US dollar losing reserve currency status, as I have written about at length in the past. And while the US dollar used to be the only currency that foreign nations would trade oil in, that has now come to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n

Not only is Saudi Arabia trading oil in other currencies than the dollar (notably the Yuan), it now appears the UAE is also\u00a0strategically shifting away from the US dollar<\/a>\u00a0in its oil transactions, marking a significant change in the global financial landscape.<\/p>\n

This move, involving potential deals with up to 15 countries including China, Russia, and Egypt, is part of the de-dollarization trend I have predicted, led by the oil sector. Led by the BRICS alliance, the move is redefining global economics and challenging the US dollar’s dominance in international trade.<\/p>\n

When you take this into account alongside the fact that Russia is strengthening its ties with China and Saudi Arabia, it is tough to think anything but that we are still solidly on the path to global de-dollarization. …<\/p>\n

I asked my friend Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals<\/a>\u00a0for his exclusive take on the situation for my\u00a0Fringe Finance\u00a0<\/em>readers. He\u2019s one of the smartest people I know when it comes to understanding the dollar globally \u2014 and he\u2019s\u00a0all but predicted the exact scenario<\/a>\u00a0that\u2019s taking place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OPEC members decided in 1973\/4 to price all oil sales in US dollars and invest any excess in US Treasury bonds in exchange for US military protection. This is how the petrodollar system got its start, and for the last 50 years, due to this arrangement has created a \u2018synthetic\u2019 demand for the dollar, and established the US dollar as the benchmark for oil trade globally,\u201d he explained to me.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThe US Government has done more to destroy this country in the previous few years than any external enemy could have ever done.\u00a0 By using sanctions and other forms of coercion, we have turned the US currency and the SWIFT system into weapons that has forced out a large portion of the global population creating a global backlash that is accelerating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a doubt, the deliberate emergence of new cooperating powers is causing a significant global power shift that the world is currently experiencing. The emergence of the BRICS in my mind is the most notable example.\u00a0 Six more strategically important nations were added to the group in August: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, United Arab Emirates, and Iran,\u201d Andy said.<\/p>\n

When I asked Andy why it\u2019s important that people take the BRICS nations seriously, he told me: \u201cWith over 40 more countries showing interest in joining the BRICS group of countries and reports of many more expressing interest growing daily, it appears that this growing union is gaining legitimacy and serious traction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with their new members, the BRICS countries currently control two of the three largest nuclear weapons arsenals on the planet, most of the world’s strategic commodities, oil production capacity, enormously expanding reserves of precious metals, and, surprise, the majority of rare earth metals required for the production of batteries and other green and renewable energy applications.\u201d<\/h4>\n

He also talked about the importance of Saudi Arabia\u2019s role when asked about Putin\u2019s recent trip to visit MBS: \u201cIn recent years, Saudi Arabia, the cornerstone of the dollar hegemony, has joined the exponentially expanding Belt Road Initiative alongside all the other OPEC members. The Saudi\u2019s have also joined the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization which is the largest regional financial and military organization in the world, and the BRICS New Development Bank.\u201d https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/petrodollar-endgame-moves-even-closer<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the government of the USA has done a lot to destroy the value of its dollar.<\/p>\n

According to Bible prophecy, the massive debts of the USA will be a factor, not just in pushing its dollar aside, but also in its destruction:<\/p>\n

6 \u201cWill not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, \u2018Woe to him who increases What is not his \u2014 how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges\u2019?<\/strong> 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you, Because of men\u2019s blood And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. (Habakkuk 2:6-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, with an admitted debt as of December 7, 2023 of $33,832,815,714,760.09 (https:\/\/fiscaldata.treasury.gov\/datasets\/debt-to-the-penny\/debt-to-the-penny<\/a>) and plans to increase that much further, the USA has increased pledges more than any nation in the history of the planet. This is not good for the USA.<\/p>\n

There is a cost to USA sanctions and its weaponization of the dollar.<\/p>\n

Now in addition to the expanding BRICS alliance, even Singapore is starting to get involved in this.<\/p>\n

What most Americans do not realize is that the largest export from the USA is actually its currency–which is basically debt notes.<\/p>\n

Here is something from my free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies:\u00a0What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?<\/a><\/span>:<\/p>\n

The Bible warns about silver becoming \u201cdross\u201d (Isaiah 1:22; Ezekiel 22:18-22) and says to reverse it once it happens (Proverbs 25:4a; Isaiah 1:25). But the Anglo-American nations have not done that, their old silver coins are now dross (made\/filled with cheaper materials) and their massive debts have made dross out of their fiat currencies (currencies that are not tied to gold or some other hard asset).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the \u201cU.S. is highly vulnerable to loss of confidence by foreign creditors.\u201d[i]<\/a> U.S. government debt is \u201cextremely vulnerable to foreign attack because of the high percentage of foreign ownership \u2014 almost 40% of the market.\u201d[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly, in the past, one foreign creditor, China, has raised concerns about the U.S. debt that are so serious, that its potential dumping of that debt has been called China\u2019s \u201cnuclear option\u201d[iii]<\/a> against the U.S.A.\u2014an option that involves no military intervention, but that could greatly harm the U.S.A.<\/p>\n

Many have complained about the U.S.A. \u201cweaponizing\u201d its dollar through sanctions, bank restrictions, and other means.[iv]<\/a> By doing so, the U.S.A. has inadvertently been \u00a0building up a coalition to push aside the dollar\u2014and this will happen when the timing is considered to be better. European leaders have been working for years to establish a new reserve currency for the world, partially with the intent to remove the U.S. dollar from its position as the world\u2019s primary reserve currency. The fact that Europe would develop its own currency, as well as for that purpose, was predicted by Church of God writers no later than 1971[v]<\/a> \u2013which is over two decades before the euro was officially agreed to.<\/p>\n

Those in Iran and some of the Arab lands, along with nations such as Brazil, China, and India have discussed plans for the removal of the dominance of the U.S.A. in global trade as well. The former (again current) President of Brazil, Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, even claimed that eliminating the U.S. dollar\u2019s reserve currency status was one of the reasons that the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) was formed in the first place. [vi]<\/a> Others have noted that bypassing the USA dollar is still an object of BRICS\u2014and officially BRICS nations \u201care currently working on setting up a new global reserve currency,\u201d[vii]<\/a> which may have gold-backing.[viii]<\/a> The expansion of BRICS (which is in progress) may ultimately even hurt Australian trade as well as \u201cseverely weaken primacy of the US Dollar as an international currency.\u201d[ix]<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bible clearly warns against cheapening the money supply and encourages having money hold its value (Proverbs 25:4 Isaiah 1:25, Ezekiel 22:18-22). Debt is also warned against (Habakkuk 2:6-8). Yet policies enacted under the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations, following certain other administrations, have ignored these warnings.<\/p>\n

As far as the BRICS nations go, Brazil and Russia are major oil exporters and China and India are major oil importers. Hence their efforts, combined with some from the Arabs and Iranians, look to help topple away the USA dollars “petrodollar” status.<\/p>\n

The USA will have MASSIVE inflation and the economy will never fully recover as creditors will rise up and eliminate the USA per Habakkuk 2:6-8.<\/p>\n

What Singapore has agreed to is another “straw” — yet as more and more “straws” are piling up, how long until the back of the USA dollar breaks?<\/p>\n

Frankly, it is not too many years from now.<\/p>\n

There will be a new world order coming and it will not be one dominated by the Anglo-Americans.<\/p>\n

If you think that the USA will continue to be number 1 and claim to believe the Bible, please consider biblical prophecies such as Daniel 11:39; Habakkuk 2:6-8; Isaiah 10:5-11 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a><\/span> and\/or watch Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?<\/a>).<\/p>\n
