The Rio Reset’s Hidden Foundation: How BRICS Rewired the System in Plain Sight
As Western dominance wanes, BRICS isn’t inventing a new currency—it’s restoring trust by quietly returning to the world’s oldest reserve: gold.

Editor’s Note: This summary overview is based, in part, on a well-researched article written by Peter Reagan, a Market Strategist with Birch Gold, one of the world’s most savvy and reliable financial advisors and marketers of Gold and other precious metals.

As the world’s eyes turn toward Rio de Janeiro this July for the much-anticipated BRICS summit, the conversation in mainstream finance circles remains painfully outdated.
“Will they launch a new currency?”
“Can they dethrone the dollar?”
These are not just the wrong questions… they reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what is actually happening.
Because something profound is happening.
Not in headlines.
Not in sound bites.
But in the foundational architecture of the global financial system.What BRICS is doing isn't revolutionary.
It's restorative.
It’s not a rebellion—it’s a reset.
And that reset is grounded not in ideology or innovation, but in gold—the oldest form of money known to man.
Forget the Currency… Watch the Plumbing
Since a “Rio Reset” has first been discussed, analysts and critics alike have fired back predictable objections:
“BRICS can’t build their own system.”
“The West would never allow it.”
“There’s no alternative to the dollar.”
But the counter-evidence is not hidden—it’s just ignored.
Over the last decade, BRICS nations have quietly and systematically constructed a full parallel financial infrastructure:
Russia’s SPFS (System for Transfer of Financial Messages) mirrors SWIFT.
China’s CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System) enables yuan-based settlements.
BRICS Pay aims to unify digital and mobile cross-border transactions.
The New Development Bank (NDB) and BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) mimic the World Bank and IMF.
Dozens of bilateral trade agreements bypass the dollar entirely.
In short: they didn’t ask permission—they built the alternative.
And they did so by cloning the West’s systems, then optimizing them for autonomy.
So no, BRICS doesn't need to invent a new currency to replace the dollar.
They’ve already eliminated their dependency on it.
What powers this new architecture beneath the surface? Gold.
Gold: The Silent Giant Beneath the System
Gold hasn't vanished from the financial system. It just disappeared from public discourse.
While talking heads and policy wonks mocked it as a “barbarous relic,” BRICS nations were buying it in tonnage:
China has expanded its official and unofficial gold holdings quietly for years.
Russia dumped U.S. Treasuries and refilled its vaults with gold.
India has both increased central bank gold reserves and launched gold-based sovereign bonds.
This isn’t sentiment. It’s strategy.
Because gold has never stopped functioning as money among those who understand how real power works.
The Modern Roles of Gold (That No One Talks About)
Let’s bust a myth: gold isn’t inert. It doesn’t just sit in vaults as decoration.
Here are just a few of its current real-world functions:
Tier 1 Reserve Asset – Basel III and the IMF officially recognize vaulted physical gold as a zero-risk, fully liquid reserve. It’s as legitimate as cash or Treasury bills—without the counterparty risk.
Gold Swaps – During the 2008 crisis, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) quietly arranged over 346 metric tons in gold swaps to generate liquidity for stressed banks. Instead of selling gold, institutions used it as collateral to raise dollars and euros.
Gold Leasing – Central banks don’t just hold gold—they lease it out. This enables them to earn modest yields (often under 2%) while keeping their reserves intact. It also helps lubricate global liquidity.
Emergency Collateral – In 1991, India pledged 67 tons of gold to avoid default. Venezuela used similar strategies in the 2010s. In financial crisis, gold is the final trust anchor.
Bilateral Settlement Tool – Countries under sanctions or in unstable currency environments settle debts in gold. For example: Russia and Iran have reportedly used gold to settle imbalanced trade deals when fiat currencies were politically or practically unusable.
This isn't theoretical. It’s already happening.
Gold is already the alternative.
Why Gold? Because BRICS Nations Don’t Trust Each Other
This point is crucial—and often missed.
BRICS is not a natural alliance.
These are not geopolitical soulmates.
Russia and China nearly went to war in 1969.
India and China did go to war in 1962 and still skirmish today.
Brazil and South Africa have vastly different political trajectories.
So how do these nations trade without trusting each other?
They default to gold.
It is the only monetary asset that requires no belief, no promise, and no creditworthiness.
You weigh it. You assay it. You settle.
Gold is trustless infrastructure—perfect for a strategic, uneasy alliance.
The Rio Reset Isn’t Radical. It’s Conservative.
What does the word “reset” really mean?
On your phone, it returns to factory settings.
In the financial system, BRICS is doing something similar.
They aren’t seeking to rewrite the code. They’re rolling back the patch updates that served the Empire.
In fact, BRICS is reaching back before Bretton Woods, before the Nixon Shock, before fiat hegemony.
They’re returning to a system where trade was settled in something real.
What’s the result?
No need for new currencies or trust games.
No need for dollar-denominated debt.
No need to beg Western banks for access to capital.
It’s not radical.
It’s restoration.
The Invisible Reboot and Its Visible Impact
What BRICS has done is impressive not just because of what they built—but how stealthily they built it.
Piece by piece. System by system. Deal by deal.
And only now, at the threshold of the 2025 Rio summit, does the full pattern become clear.
So what happens next?
For the West, the consequences are severe:
Higher borrowing costs as dollar demand wanes
Shrinking purchasing power as imports rise in cost
Weaker capital markets as global appetite for dollar-based assets cools
Federal budget instability, with fewer buyers for U.S. Treasuries
Inflationary pressures, as the easiest option to manage debt becomes printing more of it
All of this because the world is discovering they don’t need our money to settle their trade.
They have gold.
And increasingly, they have each other.
Final Transmission: The Gold Thread Was Always There
The brilliance of the Rio Reset isn’t its radicalism—it’s its invisibility.
While the world fixated on headlines, elections, and rate hikes, the deeper shift was happening beneath the surface. Like tectonic plates moving slowly, inevitably, until the quake becomes undeniable.
So don’t let the mainstream lull you into thinking this summit is just another photo op.
It’s the ceremonial unveiling of a system that already works.
A system rooted not in ideology, but in metallurgy.
Not in digital fiat fantasies, but in ancient, provable trust.
Gold never left.
It just went underground.
And now, the vault is opening.
Welcome to the Rio Reset.
Welcome to the post-dollar age.

Lloyd, ultimately WE ARE OPERATING INSIDE A "SIM" TYPE STRUCTURE WITH SOME VERY DARK ENTITIES "steering" it. Once you "get" that, the rest of the oppressive and suppressive BULLSHIT going-on right now begins to make "sense"... albeit negatively. We are ALL stuck in some VERY bad and ongoing "loops." Privately, I'm attempting to get at what's underneath it all. So far, it would appear GOD has been "fooled" or "tricked" (with some sort of spiritual cloaking while 'dark ops and loops' are being run unaccounted for) on some level(s) of existence. It does not yet make sense to me, however, I'm still "digging." Something IS DEFINITELY way off and "cosmic justice" ain't workin'... I'm determined to expose this entire racket. That's the reason this newsletter, ostensibly started to cover the lies of the COVID-19 "pandemic" and follow-on bioweapon "vaccine" covers so many other geopolitical topics. I have come to the ABSOLUTE conclusion that ALL this bad shit, the pandemic, the wars, the manipulative politics, the lying journalists, false religion, are ALL sourced by these same dark entities. I'm attempting to "rip the covers off" what's generally hidden and obscure.
But the ruling class / conspiracy supports and planned BRICS as integral to the multi-polar world announced by the World Economic Forum (as predicted in Orwell's 1984). If 1984 is correct, Eurasia excluding Britain will result from the Ukraine War.
