[The BRICS "Unit" went live on October 31st without hardly any press coverage in the "west" and US. You can bet that has something to do with the rise of the dollar price in gold and silver as the dollar loses value. In the past the US has bombed a country and overthrew its leader when they even dared to plan to issue a gold-backed currency (Libya), and has gone to great lengths otherwise to prevent that kind of thing from happening anywhere in the world. I wouldn't put it past the people that control the US government to start a war over this. It's that much of a threat to the US dollar and US hegemony . . . SC]

The global financial order is shifting — quietly, but dramatically. For 80 years, the U.S. dollar has dominated world trade, powered by the Bretton Woods system, the Petrodollar, and American geopolitical influence. But now, a new challenger is emerging: the BRICS Currency called the "Unit" — a gold/commodity-linked trade unit backed by some of the world’s largest economies.
