Today, we’re diving deep into the “poor performance” of the US Dollar – the once-mighty king of currencies now trading at four-year lows. The DXY index sits around 96.4 as of January 28, 2026, after tumbling over 9% in 2025 alone and dropping another 2.5% this month. This isn’t random – markets don’t just “happen.” They’re controlled, manipulated by unelected elites, central bank cartels, and globalist speculators who hate America First.

The world’s reserve currency is losing ground rapidly

The US Dollar Index (DXY) closed yesterday at approximately 96.15, marking a fresh four-year low and a decline of nearly 2% already in 2026, following a brutal 9.4% drop in 2025. This is not natural market movement. This is engineered weakness. The dollar has lost ground against every major currency – the euro, yen, pound, and even emerging market baskets. Gold has surged to all-time highs as investors flee fiat paper. Why now? Because the globalist cabal – the same forces that control central banks and supranational institutions – fear a truly independent America under President Trump’s leadership. They manipulate markets through endless money printing, interest rate suppression, and coordinated selloffs to punish nations that resist their one-world agenda. President Trump has rightly called the dollar “great,” understanding that strategic weakness can boost American exports and manufacturing.

Trump Calls Sliding Dollar ‘Doing Great’

On Tuesday in Urbandale, Iowa, Trump declared the US dollar ‘doing great’ despite its 10.8% drop over the past year—the worst since 2017—with the DXY index hitting 95.89, its lowest since February 2022. The currency fell another 1% right after his comments, marking a shift from his first term’s complaints about a strong dollar. Analysts note a weaker dollar could boost exports, narrow the trade deficit, and ease debt pressures, though critics highlight rising import costs and inflation risks while supporters see growth benefits.

A weaker US Dollar helps drive, looser financial conditions (rate cuts), Higher nominal GDP growth, Higher asset prices, Higher US exports and a lower trade deficit, and Easier debt servicing for the US government. This is why Trump said the Dollar is doing “great.” But the deeper truth is that this decline exposes the fragility of a currency unmoored from real value – a theme we will explore next.

A Fiat Currency Backed by Nothing But Propaganda

Let us go back to fundamentals. The US Dollar was once the envy of the world because it was tied to gold – real, tangible wealth. In 1971, Richard Nixon, under pressure from globalist advisors, severed that link in what history calls the “Nixon Shock.” Since then, the dollar has been pure fiat: backed by nothing but the “full trust and credit” of the US government – which translates to propaganda, military might, and the petrodollar system enforced on unwilling nations. Today, the dollar is propped up by narrative alone. The Federal Reserve prints trillions with impunity, devaluing your savings while telling you inflation is “transitory.” This is not money; this is illusion. Globally, nations like China, Russia, and BRICS partners are dumping US Treasuries and accumulating gold precisely because they see through the propaganda. The dollar’s reserve status – once 70% of global reserves – is eroding as countries hedge against this hollow shell. But we were warned this would happen. A currency without backing invites manipulation and inevitable collapse. The current weakness is the system eating itself.

How the Markets Are Controlled and Manipulated

Now, the heart of the matter: markets are not free. They are rigged by a cartel of central banks, hedge funds, and globalist entities. Consider the Federal Reserve – an unelected private institution that sets interest rates in secret, flooding markets with liquidity to suppress gold and silver prices while propping up stocks and bonds and vice versa. Coordinated interventions in forex markets, algorithmic trading by mega-banks, and derivatives worth quadrillions dwarf the real economy. When the dollar threatens to strengthen too much – threatening globalist debt schemes – they orchestrate sell-offs.

The Federal Reserve and Global Central Bank Coordination

The US Federal Reserve sits at the centre of this system – an unelected institution with extraordinary power over global liquidity. Through quantitative easing, rate manipulation, and coordinated actions with other central banks, it has repeatedly propped up the dollar when convenient. Yet today, diverging policies and loss of confidence are accelerating the decline. It is absolutely wild to me that 45% of all dollars were created in the last 6 years. Who was in charge that time and what did they do?

Biden Regime’s policies deliberately weakened the dollar

The Biden Regime’s policies, both foreign and domestic, have enabled a concerted effort by foreign entities to devalue the Dollar. With every Billion sent to Ukraine, we come closer to financial collapse.

The fed is printing money out of thin air and most people have literally zero idea it’s happening. The Fed is ground zero for this manipulation. Holdovers from the old regime resist Trump’s calls for lower rates to fuel growth. Instead, they jawbone “inflation fears” from pro-America tariffs, keeping policy tight and the dollar vulnerable. Conservatives have criticized the Fed for years—bailing out Wall Street while Main Street suffers, inflating bubbles, and picking political winners. Many of us want it audited or reformed because it’s captured by the same international bankers who fund globalism. Trump’s fight with the Fed isn’t causing weakness—it’s exposing how they’re sabotaging his efforts to Make America Wealthy Again.

Recent triggers? Fed rate manipulation, exploding fiscal deficits, and uncertainty around tariffs – all amplified by media fearmongering. But look deeper: speculative positioning, geopolitical risks engineered by supranational bodies, and quiet diversification away from the dollar by foreign central banks. This is deliberate. Globalists want a weakened America to force integration into their digital currency schemes and centralized control. President Trump’s tariffs and energy independence threaten their monopoly, so they punish the dollar to create chaos. Yet conservatives know: true strength comes from production, not printed paper.

Rigged Markets – How Forex is Controlled and Manipulated

Currency markets, handling trillions daily, are far from free. Major banks have been fined billions for colluding to rig forex benchmarks, manipulating rates through chat rooms and coordinated trades. Central banks intervene covertly – selling or buying massive volumes to steer exchange rates in favoured directions. High-frequency algorithms and speculative positioning amplify these distortions, turning markets into a playground for the powerful. The dollar’s long overvaluation benefited certain elites and multinationals, but today’s decline reflects markets rejecting decades of artificial support amid shifting global realities.

Global Impacts and Why This Weakness Hurts Ordinary People

Around the world, a weak dollar imports inflation to emerging markets, crushing the poor in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who hold dollar-denominated debt. In Europe, it fuels energy crises; in the Middle East, it destabilizes petrodollar arrangements. For Americans, it means higher import prices, eroded purchasing power, and stolen wealth transferred to elites who own hard assets. The 2025-2026 slide has already wiped-out gains for retirees and savers. This is class warfare disguised as monetary policy. Globalists enrich themselves while manipulating exchange rates to keep nations dependent. But there is a different and more positive angle to this.

Let’s talk derivatives. Taylor Kenney is sounding the alarm, warning that US banks are currently holding onto a staggering quarter of a quadrillion dollars in derivative exposure, which are essentially financial instruments that nearly toppled the global economy in 2008. According to Kenney’s analysis of official Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation data, the derivatives market wasn’t reined in after the Great Recession, but instead, it has grown into a more complex and massive entity, buried under layers of financialization designed to conceal its true risk. This complex web consists of interconnected bets built on debt, speculation, and extreme leverage, making it a ticking time bomb. The catalyst for the collapse of this new derivative pyramid may have already been triggered, with the recent consecutive collapse of three major sub-prime auto lenders potentially signalling the imminent arrival of a new Credit Crunch. However, this time around, the consequences would be far more severe. The FDIC insurance fund, which is supposed to protect savings, only has sufficient funds to cover a mere 1.3% of all insured deposits, which is barely enough to bail out one ‘too-big-to-fail’ bank or a few mid-sized ones. The alternative is a draconian FDIC ‘bail-in’, which would involve confiscating “your cash, your savings, and your deposits” to recapitalize the bank and save the system, effectively punishing innocent savers while letting the reckless gamblers who inflated the bubble off the hook.

The Powder Keg – Understanding the Derivatives Disaster

At its heart, this staggering $223.5 trillion crisis is a massive threat that overshadows the entire US economy, which is valued at around $28 trillion. So, what exactly are derivatives? Essentially, they’re high-stakes side bets that banks make on assets like interest rates, currencies, commodities, and stocks. While banks claim they’re a way to “hedge” against risks, the truth is that they’re incredibly risky gambles that have been fuelled by the Federal Reserve’s policies of near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing over the past decade. The notional value of these bets is the total amount that could be lost if everything goes wrong, and while the “net” exposure might seem lower, around $15-20 trillion, this is just an illusion – when panic sets in, these offsets can quickly disappear, as we saw in 2008 when credit default swaps led to a $10 trillion loss in wealth.

Today, four massive banks – JPMorgan, Citibank, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs – hold over 90% of these derivatives, creating a too-big-to-fail cartel that’s on steroids. The risk of one of these banks defaulting is very real, and it could trigger a chain reaction of failures, much like a row of dominoes. The reforms introduced by the Dodd-Frank Act have done little to address this issue, instead centralizing the risk in clearinghouses and relying on stress tests that assume everything will always go smoothly. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, are driving up energy derivatives and inflation, eroding the savings of ordinary people. The Federal Reserve’s recent $29.4 billion injection of liquidity is just a temporary fix, a Band-Aid on a much deeper wound. The fact that precious metals bets have surpassed $5 trillion is a sign that investors are seeking safe havens, but this is just propping up an illusion – the value of physical gold and silver is screaming “safe haven” to those who will listen.

The trading revenue may be up, but so is the fragility of the system, with the Dallas Fed warning that “ample liquidity” is needed to prevent a meltdown – code for “we’re one mistake away from disaster.” This is eerily reminiscent of the 2008 subprime crisis, which sparked a derivatives inferno, but this time the stakes are three times higher. The pursuit of profit has punished prudence, and the threat of bail-ins, where depositors’ savings are used as collateral, is a very real one. The bottom line is that America’s banks are overextended empires, not invincible fortresses – they’re vulnerable to collapse, and it’s time we faced up to this reality.

The Dollar Crash Cascade: How Bank Bets Can Spark a Currency Cataclysm

We’re on the cusp of a derivatives explosion that could potentially incinerate the dollar, making the 2008 financial crisis look like a minor setback. The United States is sitting on a $223.5 trillion debt bomb, tied to a massive $740 trillion global derivatives pile, with interest-rate swaps totalling $579 trillion. US national debt stands at $33 trillion, with a staggering 97% debt-to-GDP ratio that’s projected to balloon to 118% by 2035. The dollar has already taken a hit, plunging 11% against major currencies in the first half of 2025, the steepest drop in 50 years. Foreigners hold 30% of US Treasuries, and if they sense trouble, they’ll hedge their bets through swaps, flooding the market with dollar sales and spiking the cross-currency basis.

The Treasury Department is facing a refinancing crisis, with $9 trillion in debt coming due next year amidst weak demand, which could lead to yields jumping by 0.2 points or more, and interest payments skyrocketing to $1 trillion annually. This could crowd out defense and entitlement spending, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction.

As the dollar’s reserve share craters by 2 points or more, investors are flocking to alternative assets, with emerging markets experiencing significant outflows. The BRICS nations are eyeing the yuan and gold as potential alternatives to the dollar.

Inflation is also on the horizon, with the Fed printing trillions of dollars, which could push net interest payments to over 5% of GDP by 2030 and debt-to-GDP ratios past 200% by 2047. This could lead to a doubling of grocery prices and a decimation of retirement savings.

Higher interest rates, slashed growth forecasts, and the tariffs are all contributing to the perfect storm. The $73 trillion in unfunded liabilities, including Social Security and Medicare, is a ticking time bomb. Experts are warning of a “coming US financial crisis” and a “financial tsunami” caused by policy mistakes. The rise of crypto derivatives, with $18 trillion in gross value, is adding fuel to the fire. A potential downgrade of US debt, with 50% odds at 120% debt-to-GDP, could shatter the “safe haven” myth, leading to a 9% plunge in the dollar.

The Puppet Masters: Unmasking the Globalist Cabal

This is not just a case of faceless greed; it’s a syndicate of central bankers, supranational institutions, and Wall Street power players hell-bent on borderless control. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is the apex predator, born from Nazi gold laundering and now scripting liquidity traps through “innovation hubs” that standardize cross-border derivatives. The BIS is mapping FX/OTC bets to weaponize volatility, not fix it. Jerome Powell is merely an errand boy, executing the BIS’s plans, including slinging $29 billion in swaps last month.

The IMF and World Bank are tag-teaming with the BIS, saddling 190 nations with debt and pushing for a global currency to “stabilize” the chaos. Their 2025 Global Financial Stability Report admits that derivatives amplify shocks but demands more coordination, effectively surrendering national sovereignty to the globalist throne. The Big Four banks, with $60 trillion in notional value, are the street-level enforcers, suppressing gold and silver prices to the tune of $5 trillion. The “Big Three” asset managers – BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street – own 20-30% of banks and dictate risk models for synchronized blowups, perpetuating elite capture and ignoring net-zero swaps that inflate bubbles.

The grand design is to overload the system, crash it, and then “build back” with Basel IV, crushing small banks, and de-dollarization through tariffs and sanctions. The globalist fingerprints are all over the FDIC’s 2025 Risk Review, which nods to commercial real estate cracks caused by green deals. Soros and Rothschild are thriving on chaos, shorting from offshore while the average person foots the bill.

A Crisis by Design: Uncovering the Orchestrated Blueprint and Timeline

We’re witnessing a deliberate crisis, orchestrated by a blueprint that’s been set in motion. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is openly confessing to this controlled demolition in their 2025 manifestos. In their October Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR), titled “Shifting Ground,” the IMF is flagging “elevated risks” stemming from overstretched valuations, sovereign bonds, and nonbank leverage – the very bubbles they’ve inflated through quantitative easing and interconnectedness.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is also sounding the alarm in their June Annual Report, warning of “policy crossroads” as they work to consolidate cartel power through the harmonization of Basel IV. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is proposing elite “frameworks” to govern the impending fragmentation of systems, which they claim will come at a cost of 5-10% of global GDP.

Let’s take a closer look at the timeline of events: In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act was introduced as a mere fig leaf to hide the rot. Fast forward to 2025, and the IMF is warning of slashed growth forecasts, while the World Bank is nodding to emerging market debt traps that will require rescues. The swaps and foreign exchange markets are on the verge of explosion, with the BIS echoing the staggering $579 trillion notional value, which is eroding the dollar. The gold market is also showing signs of cracking, with COMEX records revealing the paper facade.

The globalist playbook is clear: they’re engineering a crisis to fragment the system and then govern the pieces. The real agenda is to implement SDR bailouts and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), consolidate power through Basel centralization, and suppress gold. The WEF’s “Fragmentation” white paper is a blueprint for this plan, which will come at a significant cost to the global economy.
