Den 7 juli 2023 överraskade den vanligtvis pålitliga Russia Today RT med nyhetsbomben att BRICS-länderna redan till slutet av augusti 2023 vill införa en gemensam valuta garanterad av guld, d v s återinföra guldmyntfoten. Denna nyhet slog med all rätt in som en bomb på Kers-bron.

 

#BRICS Plans to Introduce New Gold-Backed Currency

The proposed gold-backed currency will contrast with the credit-backed US dollar, with the decision coming a month ahead of the bloc's summit in Johannesburg.

Guldmyntfot betyder att guldet är pengar, men eftersom det är tungt att bära med sig så ger staten ut sedlar, mynt och digitala pengar som när som helst kan växlas in till fysiskt guld på vissa växlingskontor.

Min första tanke var: det kan inte stämma, så dumm är Ryssland och Kina inte. Problemet är nämligen om guldmyntfoten inte införs på hela planeten som förr fram till WW1 då skulle Väst komma och byta in pappers- och digitala pengar till guld och BRICS skulle snabbt bli av med allt guld och Väst visar långnäsan.

Nu kom kompetenta Zero Hedge med nyheten att BRICS guldmyntfot var fake news:

"Aside from speculation there hasn’t been official confirmation by any BRICS nations that they will either issue a new currency backed by gold or peg their currencies to gold anytime soon. Although it’s likely discussions are going on among BRICS nations to create a new currency, no agreement has been reached and policy makers are denying the new currency is soon to be launched. Current talk about a new currency—suggesting a gold standard will be implemented in August at the next BRICS summit—should be treated with skepticism.   ......

In the video that accompanies the tweet, the source of RT India appears to be a tweet from July 3 by the Russian Embassy in Kenya. From scrolling through all tweets by the Russian Embassy in Kenya one would think this is an account of an activist, not an embassy. Furthermore, the screenshot of the tweet from the Russian Embassy shown by RT India in their video is edited! The actual tweet, which can be seen below, includes a link to an opinion editorial by US economist Joseph Sullivan for the website Foreign Policy, titled: “A BRICS Currency Could Shake the Dollar’s Dominance.” This article in Foreign Policy is the source of the Russian Embassy’s tweet; the source is not the Russian Embassy itself, which RT India wants you to believe.  ......

Conclusion

Logically, the Russians advocate any alternative to the dollar as they are restricted from using the Western based international financial infrastructure. On the website of the Kremlin there is a statement from President Putin from June 22, 2022:

 

We are exploring the possibility of creating an international reserve currency based on the basket of BRICS currencies.

 

Russia’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in May 2023:

The idea of creating a common currency … is floating around and is being discussed. We also have proposals about using digital financial assets supported by real assets, for example gold – stablecoins.

But what’s it going to be? A currency backed by commodities, a gold stable coin, or a reserve currency based on a basket of BRICS currencies? According to a video shared by the Hindustan Times, India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said, on July 3, 2023, none of the above:

There is no idea for a BRICS currency. … Currencies to my mind will remain very much a national issue for a long time to come.

Bloomberg reported on July 5:

The New Development Bank, a financial institution created by the BRICS bloc of emerging markets, doesn’t have any immediate plans for the group to create a common currency, its vice president and chief financial officer said.

“The development of anything alternative is more a medium to long term ambition,” he said. “There is no suggestion right now to creates a BRICS currency.”

I think it should be clear that neither the Russians nor the BRICS as a whole has a plan worked out for a new currency soon to be introduced, as opposed to what’s hyped in the media. Mr. Market didn’t believe the RT India item as the gold price didn’t budge when it was broadcasted."

Om guldmyntfoten införs i hela världen är det ett bättre penningsystem än dagens som baseras på skulder och där dessutom penningmängden för räntorna till dessa skulder aldrig produceras så att bristen på räntepengarna växer exponentiellt med följden av inprogrammerade finanskraschar. Därför blev det minusräntor efter kraschen från 2008. Men nu leder räntehöjningarna obönhörligen till en ny finanskollaps.

Den bästa bankreformidén kommer från mig, Henning Witte, själv:

Den Vita Skolan i Nationalekonomi

där pengar backas upp med arbete och inte skulder som idag eller guld som förr. Dessutom förstatligas även de digitala pengarna som enbart ges ut av centralbankerna vars styrelse väljs direkt av folket. De ger då ut pengar som staten behöver. Inga skatter behövs då längre. Inflation, deflation, arbetslöshet, exproprieringar och bankkrascher försvinner.
