Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems \"suspicious\" or \"unusual.\" The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become \"cashless\" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T08:20:22.976464+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370"},"episode":{"title":"BRICS Expansion Is a Bigger Threat Than People Think","slug":"brics-expansion-is-a-bigger-threat-than-people-think","published_at":"2026-05-28T15:42:22+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370/brics-expansion-is-a-bigger-threat-than-people-think","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/brics-expansion-is-a-bigger-threat-than-people-think--72174857","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72174857/secret_war_on_cash_ep_275_a.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Secret War on Cash , Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the rapid expansion of BRICS and why more countries are seeking alignment with the bloc. The conversation explains how nations see practical benefits in reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar, strengthening their own currencies, and gaining leverage outside the traditional U.S.-led financial system. The episode also takes a close look at the growing de-dollarization trend already underway, with countries increasingly using the yuan, rupee, and ruble in trade instead of the dollar. Dean and Chris argue that this shift is not just symbolic. It could have direct consequences for U.S. purchasing power, savings, retirement accounts, and the broader economy if the dollar’s global role continues to weaken. Key topics include: BRICS expansion and partner-nation growth why more countries want alternatives to dollar dependence how de-dollarization is already happening in real trade flows the role of sanctions, leverage, and reserve diversification what weakening dollar dominance could mean for Americans why gold and silver remain central in a shifting system Brought to you by Swiss America.
