Santiago Capital CEO Brent Johnson returns to the podcast to discuss stablecoins, geopolitics, and how the Great Game of global capital is progressing.  I appreciate Brent's realist approach to both markets and politics and how his journey has shaped how he sees things unfolding.  Show Notes:Brent on XSantiago Capital Tom on XGGnG Patreon

Trader, writer, and Spicy Italian Meatball (!!) Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to close the loop on our now three-year financial & geopolitical bromance which began with the help of the equally great, but not nearly as spicy Tom Bodroviks then of Palisades Gold Radio and now Competent Investor, when we first discussed the idea of Gold-backed US Treasury bonds, as promoted by Judy Shelton.Vince and I cover the implications for the further coalescing of a Russian / Chinese / American currency and bond trade which combines the best that all three countries have to offer to a world which cuts out the City of London, Brussels, the BIS, and, of course, Davos.It's a wild ride.... Vince never disappoints.Show Notes:Vince on XVBL's GoldFixTom on XGGnG on Patreon 

Author and Investigative Journalist Richard Poe returns to the podcast to take us on a history lesson centering on Great Britain's complicity in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russian Civil War.  It may or may not resemble activities we're seeing now or have seen in other periods of history.  Show Notes:Richard on SubstackWebsiteRichard on XEpisode #146 - Richard Poe and the Reach of Perfidious AlbionEpisode #171 - Richard Poe and Why All Roads Really Do Lead to LondonTom on XGGnG on PatreonPrevious ShowsPodcast Episode #235 – Halsey English and the Foundations of the Grand BargainPodcast Episode #234 — Adam Curry and the Immense Strength in NumbersPodcast Episode #233 — Vince Lanci and the Tale of Two SilversPodcast Episode #232 — Susan Kokinda and Trump’s War for the American SystemPodcast Episode #231 – Blaine Holt and the Strategic State of PlayYou can follow the Gold Goats ‘n Guns Podcast onApple PodcastsAmazon PodcastsSpotifyPodbeanRSS FeedFountain AppJoin My Patreon even if you hate the sound of my voice.

This week the podcast is invaded from the Great White North by Mr. Matt Ehret to assist Dexter and myself to understand the depth of the perfidy that is the place known as the country of Canadia.  Matt goes through a number of eras of Canadian politics to illluminate just how strongly the dead hand of the British Crown rules over the US's supposedly harmless neighbors above the 49th parallel.Show Notes:Matt Ehret on substackMark Carney's Dystopic Pedigree - FilmUFO series.
