The land was rich, not just in spirit, but in silver, too. Bashfully so. We've touched upon this tale before, drawing parallels between [the Free Silver Movement and the Wizard of Oz](. But there's another layer, often overlooked, highlighting a pivotal struggle in 20th-century America… One between the Yankees and the Cowboys. Today, we’re going to dive into that fight… (It has everything to do with why Kennedy was assassinated and why Nixon was nixed.) We’ll also see why it’s no longer a luxury America can afford… And why that’s bad news for the dollar. Let’s jump in. East vs. West First, let’s talk silver. In the late 1800s, an economic war raged between the East and West. To the West, silver promised a new hope of economic independence from their Eastern counterparts. They saw a silver-based currency as their ticket to freedom. No longer would they be shackled by the debts owed to the Eastern banks. No longer would they be prey to the exorbitant interest. Thus, they fought for the free coinage of silver. But the East, the mighty banking magnates, had a different plan. Their eyes glistened not with silver, but gold. To them, a gold-only based currency was the holy grail. Their mantra was clear: monopolize gold and keep the West under their thumb. It was against this backdrop that William Jennings Bryan, a voice for the West, rose to fame. History has been stingy with its details of the Free Silver Movement. But most have heard of Bryan’s thundering declaration: "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!" The lesser-known part of the speech had to do with an explicit tussle between rural and city. Bryan said: You come to us and tell us that the great cities are in favor of the gold standard; we reply that the great cities rest upon our broad and fertile prairies. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms, and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country. Obviously, this was about more than just metal; it was an ideological tussle, a struggle for power. And as the 20th century dawned, this discord grew louder, the rift widening between the Yankees and the Cowboys. Attention!

The book describes two opposing groups: the Yankees, or the traditional Eastern bankers and industrialists, and the Cowboys, who symbolized the newer Western oil and defense sectors. Oglesby argued that many major events in the 20th century can be understood better when viewed through this lens of internal conflict. For instance, the Kennedy assassination, according to Oglesby, wasn’t just an act of a lone gunman but rather a transition of power. Kennedy, linked with the Eastern banking elites, was replaced under mysterious circumstances by Lyndon B. Johnson, who had deep ties with Texan oil interests. This transition of power, in Oglesby's perspective, was a momentary victory for the Cowboys. Also, Richard Nixon, despite his landslide victory in 1972, found his presidency quickly unraveling. Nixon, with his deep-rooted connections to the wealth of California, was very much a Cowboy. However, his rapid fall from grace, marked by the Watergate scandal, was not just about the tapes and the break-in. Oglesby posited that the Yankees, feeling threatened by Nixon's dominance, retaliated. Instead of the usual backroom deals and hush agreements, there seemed to be a collective eagerness to expose Nixon's wrongdoings, leading to his downfall. Recall, Nixon was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford, who was very much a part of the Washington establishment -- the Yankees. Indeed, this tussle still continues… → Traditional Finance vs. DeFi → New York Times vs. Joe Rogan → Ivy League vs. MOOC → Hollywood vs. Netflix → Taxi Medallions vs. Uber → Big Pharma vs. Biotech But… Oglesby didn’t believe the internal fight would be eternal. At some point, he believed that other countries would threaten America’s dominance. And perhaps it would become a uniting force. America vs. World Oglesby suggested that the rise of external threats, like Japan's growing economic and technological prowess, could compel the Yankees and Cowboys to unite. He could’ve never predicted the rise of an economic bloc like the BRICS… Representing the burgeoning economic and political powerhouses of the developing world. These countries, having emerged from the shadows of colonialism and Cold War politics, have begun to establish a formidable alliance. Their economies are booming, their technological prowess growing, and their diplomatic clout expanding. For the Yankees and Cowboys, the BRICS presents a challenge unlike any they've faced. The Yankees and Cowboys once battled for power in the U.S., but the emergence of BRICS will force them to rethink their approach. Especially if tomorrow happens as Jim Rickards fears.
