• In episode 1 of  “Breaking the Chains: Decentralize Your Life,” Andy Schectman, explained why the U.S. has shifted from a net exporter to a net importer, bringing in 65 million ounces of gold and 150 million ounces of silver in just three months—a historic reversal.
• Experts speculate the Trump administration may be preparing for a gold-backed dollar, with theories including tariffs, Basel III rules (requiring banks to hold physical gold), and Judy Shelton’s hints at gold-pegged Treasuries by 2026.
• This episode went over how the LBMA faces a 10:1 paper-to-physical gold mismatch (36M oz vs. 380M oz in contracts), with silver even worse—raising collapse risks.
• Scentman discussed why central banks and elites stockpile physical metal, and why the financial system teeters on the brink.

In episode 1 of “Breaking the Chains: Decentralize Your Life,” aired May 17, gold and silver expert Andy Schectman (CEO of Miles Franklin) discussed a stunning reversal of decades-long trends, where the United States has shifted from a net exporter to a net importer of gold—flooding the country with 65 million ounces of gold and 150 million ounces of silver in just three months.

Experts warned this could be a coordinated move by the Trump administration to prepare for a dollar reset, potentially pegging Treasury bonds to gold. Meanwhile, London’s gold market faces a 10:1 leverage crisis, with only 36 million ounces of physical gold available to cover 380 million ounces in paper contracts—a disaster waiting to unfold. Schectman also revealed that the U.S. is importing gold at an unprecedented rate, with JP Morgan alone delivering $4 billion worth of gold in February—the largest monthly COMEX delivery in history.

“We’ve imported nearly 150 million ounces of silver and 65 million ounces of gold in three months,” Schectman said. “This is unheard of. The U.S. was always a net exporter, sending metal eastward to China and India. Now, it’s coming back—fast.” He discussed theories, such as:

• Trump’s tariffs: Some speculate the imports are tied to trade policies.
• Basel III rules: Banks must hold allocated gold (not paper contracts) by July 1, forcing a scramble for physical metal.
• Dollar reset: Judy Shelton, Trump’s former Fed nominee, has hinted at gold-backed 50-year Treasuries by 2026, pegging debt to gold at a revalued rate.

“If they revalue gold to 12,000 an ounce, the Treasury could add 3 trillion overnight,” Schectman explained. “It’s an accounting trick—sell gold certificates to the Fed, print money, and ‘back’ it with gold.”

While the U.S. stockpiles, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) is on the brink. Only 36 million ounces of gold back 380 million in paper claims, and silver is even worse—270 million ounces float against 2.9 billion traded daily (3.5x annual mine supply).

“If even 10 percent of holders demand physical, the system collapses.” Schectman warned. The U.S. is hoarding gold, London is drowning in paper promises, and the global financial system is one delivery failure away from chaos. As central banks and elites quietly exit the system, the question isn’t if a reset is coming—but when.

“The run on physical has begun,” Schectman declared. “The smart money isn’t waiting.”
