## Resource

From debt bombs and inflation to a coordinated global push against the dollar, Kevin Freeman and Mike Carter outline a practical framework for protecting wealth and liberty. They unpack reserve currency risks, CBDCs, the wealth gap, and demographic and border pressures—then propose “transactional gold” as a state-level, constitutional alternative. Real-world case studies from Zimbabwe to BRICS, plus historical context from 1971 to today, illustrate how paper money fails and how gold-based options can restore sound money. Action steps, legislative momentum, and resources empower listeners to prepare and preserve values, security, and financial freedom. @PirateMoney
