The U.S. Government and Federal Reserve are fighting against cash on many fronts. 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.Swiss America Economics Personal Finance Politics & Government

  • Why Silver Could Be Headed Toward $100 Faster Than Expected

    Why Silver Could Be Headed Toward $100 Faster Than Expected
    Dec 30 2025
    Silver is once again at the center of global financial and industrial tension — and the forces pushing prices higher may be stronger than ever.In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine two major developments reshaping the silver market:📊 CME Raises Silver Margin RequirementsThe CME has increased silver margin requirements again, a move often used during periods of rapid price appreciation. While intended to reduce leveraged trading, Dean explains how these actions can also manipulate markets by forcing short-term traders out, even as long-term demand remains intact.⚙️ Elon Musk Warns of Silver Supply StressElon Musk has raised concerns about record silver prices and looming supply constraints — especially as China tightens export controls and licensing requirements. While China isn’t the largest silver miner, it is one of the world’s most important processors and exporters, meaning restrictions could further strain an already tight supply chain.⛏️ Five Years of Supply DeficitsSilver has faced persistent supply shortages for five consecutive years, driven by rising industrial demand from electronics, electric vehicles, solar panels, and data centers. Unlike many commodities, silver production cannot be quickly increased because it is often mined as a by-product, not a primary resource.📈 Why Prices Keep RisingDean and Chris explain why margin hikes alone are unlikely to stop silver’s momentum. With industrial demand growing and supply tightening globally, the underlying fundamentals continue to point toward higher prices, with some analysts projecting silver in the $90–$105 range.This episode explores why silver is no longer just a speculative trade — but a strategic asset at the intersection of finance, technology, and global trade.Brought to you by Swiss America, helping Americans protect their wealth with gold, silver, and tangible assets.📍 Visit Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com📞 Free Newsletter — The Secret War on Cash: (800) 289-2646📞 Free Book — How the Coming Global Crash Will Create a Historic Gold Rush: (800) 289-2646Follow Swiss America:🔗 Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/swissamerica/🔗 X — @Swiss_America🔗 LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/swiss-america-trading-corp./Articles referenced in this podcast:CME Raises Silver Margins to $25K as Market Manipulation Intensifieshttps://www.livebitcoinnews.com/cme-raises-silver-margins-to-25k-as-market-manipulation-intensifies/Elon Musk warns of impact of record silver prices before China limits exportshttps://www.newsbreak.com/share/4416113653525-elon-musk-warns-of-impact-of-record-silver-prices-before-china-limits-exports?_f=app_share&pd=08oc6YBL&lang=en_US&send_time=1767005806&trans_data=%7B%22platform%22%3A0%2C%22cv%22%3A%2225.51.1.3%22%2C%22languages%22%3A%22en%22%7D&s=i3

  • Gold Hits $4,400, Silver Explodes — The Hedge Is Working

    Gold Hits $4,400, Silver Explodes — The Hedge Is Working
    Dec 23 2025
    Gold and silver are surging to historic new highs — and this time, the move is being driven by fundamentals that continue to strengthen.In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down why gold has surged to record levels near $4,400 and why silver has exploded past $70, delivering some of the strongest performance of any asset class this year. 📈 Why Precious Metals Are OutperformingCentral banks and institutions are aggressively accumulating physical goldSilver faces a multi-year supply deficit while industrial demand acceleratesInflation continues to erode purchasing power across food, energy, and everyday essentialsInvestors are increasingly seeking true diversification and protection🌍 BRICS & De-DollarizationThe BRICS alliance continues its deliberate shift away from the U.S. dollar, introducing trade systems and currencies backed in part by gold. While the U.S. expands debt and money supply, other nations are strengthening their currencies with tangible reserves, putting long-term pressure on the dollar. 🛡️ Why Physical Metals MatterDean explains why physical gold and silver, unlike paper substitutes, are unencumbered assets with no counterparty risk — functioning not just as investments, but as financial insurance. The same factors that drove metals higher over the past year remain firmly in place today.As global uncertainty grows, gold and silver are once again proving why they’ve protected wealth for thousands of years.This episode is brought to you by Swiss America, helping Americans protect their savings with gold, silver, and tangible assets.📍 Visit Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com📞 Free Newsletter — The Secret War on Cash: (800) 289-2646📞 Free Book — How the Coming Global Crash Will Create a Historic Gold Rush: (800) 289-2646Follow Swiss America:🔗 Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/swissamerica/🔗 X — @Swiss_America🔗 LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/swiss-america-trading-corp./Articles referenced in this podcast:Gold and silver prices soar to new highs as the yellow metal reemerges as a hedgehttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/22/gold-and-silver-prices-soar-to-new-record-highs.htmlGold Sets New Record High at $4,400 as BRICS Move Away From Dollarhttps://watcher.guru/news/gold-sets-new-record-high-at-4400-as-brics-move-away-from-dollar

  • Warren Buffett Is Pulling Back. What Does He See?

    Warren Buffett Is Pulling Back. What Does He See?
    Dec 18 2025
    As markets push higher, some of the most experienced voices in finance are quietly sounding the alarm — not about a crash tomorrow, but about confidence.
    In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down why respected market strategist Tom Lee is warning that 2026 could begin to resemble a bear market, driven by volatility, over-concentration, and weakening trust in the system.
    They also examine why Warren Buffett has been steadily reducing major positions, including Apple and Bank of America. These aren’t emotional decisions — they’re calculated moves from one of history’s most patient investors. When Buffett steps back, it’s worth asking why.
    Dean explains the real risk markets face isn’t bad headlines — it’s what happens when confidence fades, just as it did during the dot-com era. But today’s environment is even more complex, because confidence isn’t only tied to stocks anymore… it’s tied to the U.S. dollar itself.
    With rising debt, expanding deficits, AI-driven speculation, and growing questions about fiat currency stability, this episode explores what happens if trust weakens across multiple pillars of the financial system at once.
    That’s why Dean and Chris discuss the importance of diversification into tangible assets like gold and silver — assets that don’t rely on confidence in markets, governments, or central banks to hold value.
