Resource Wars and the Accelerating Big Reset

By Willem Middelkoop

When I wrote The Big Reset in 2013, I argued that the post-1971 dollar-based monetary system, built on the quicksand of endless debt, suppressed gold prices, and American financial dominance, was unsustainable. I predicted a coming reboot where gold would reclaim its role as a monetary anchor, the dollar would lose its exclusive reserve status, and powers like China and Russia would force a multipolar order. In the afterword, I warned that it could lead to war first. The events of early 2026 have not only validated that thesis but also accelerated it dramatically.
