When I published High Alert over two decades ago, I predicted that the rise of decentralized information would usher in a new age of global questioning. Just as the Gutenberg press shattered the Catholic Church’s monopoly on knowledge —the Internet would challenge today’s institutions of control.

And so it began.

We were told the media existed to deliver truth. That politicians cared more about constituents than they did lobbyists. That fiat currency was sacred and shouldn’t be questioned. That central bankers were guardians of the economy. That the financial system, military industrial complex, and global bureaucracies had our best interests at heart.

It was a gospel of obedience, broadcast through government-funded schools, corporate newsrooms, Hollywood scripts, and elite academia—each reinforcing the narrative, shaping minds, and keeping the public compliant while siphoning productivity through a rigged, debt-based monetary system.

But truth, like water, finds cracks. And over the past two decades, those cracks have widened.

We now live in what I’ve long called the Internet Reformation—a hyper-accelerated era of awakening where information flows in seconds, not decades. The old edifices of power—media, politics, military, and most of all, money—are no longer immune to scrutiny. Their sanctity is collapsing under the weight of their contradictions.

Just as the printing press shattered the monopoly on spiritual authority, the internet reformation is breaking the monopoly on monetary truth.

And unlike the Reformation of the 16th century—which unfolded over centuries—this one is happening in real time.

As I forecast in High Alert, those labeled “conspiracy theorists” in the early 2000s are increasingly being vindicated. And today, many have been.

• Ron Paul, who graciously provided a cover quote for the first edition: “High Alert should be read by everyone who wishes to educate themselves about the danger fiat money poses to American liberty and prosperity. I wish I could get every member of Congress to read this book.”
• G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, who contributed the foreword to the third edition.
• Nigel Farage, an outspoken monetary critic and leading free thinker with whom I remain in regular conversation.

Once dismissed and derided, these individuals—and others—are now rightly recognized as early flag-bearers of historical truth.

Today we are entering a new phase: the Monetary Reformation.

As trust in fiat currencies collapses, people are taking action—shifting into assets that promise stability, scarcity, and sovereignty. Gold and silver are returning to prominence. Bitcoin has catalyzed a digital alternative, and while I don’t view it as a true store of value, its symbolic protest against fiat cannot be denied.

Meanwhile, we are also witnessing the death spiral of the U.S. dollar. Purchasing power is evaporating. Central banks are losing credibility. And the unquestioned “money priesthood” that has ruled for the past century, is unravelling.

And when faith dies, the public acts.

They’re searching for safe havens. They’re building exit ramps. They’re demanding truth, transparency, and alternatives.

That’s why, more than six years ago, I assembled a group of leading monetary theorists and engineers to address a single question:

What would it take to defeat the arguments used by the elites to strip gold of its rightful place in the monetary order?

We knew gold needed a renaissance—one that preserved its timeless value while addressing the practical criticisms that have sidelined it in the modern age: storage costs, lack of portability, environmental impact, and the inability to integrate into the emerging digital economy.

We also recognized blockchain’s revolutionary potential—but only if deployed with precision and purpose.
The result?

NatGold.

A revolutionary, patent-pending fusion of:

• Gold’s 6,000-year record as a store of value
• Blockchain’s programmable transparency
• A new non-dilutive, borderless asset class that eliminates all the legacy flaws

NatGold is more than a token— it’s a Reformation Token.

A superior fiat money alternative born, from the failure of the old world and engineered to fuel a Golden New Age of Renaissance.
It is auditable. Sustainable. Unextractive.

NatGold is the evolution of monetary power—away from central control and back to the people, where wealth isn’t extracted—it’s preserved. Where value doesn’t come at the cost of ecological destruction or social exploitation. And where trust is built not on belief in central banks, but in code, conscience, and certified resources.

The Internet Reformation is not just about exposing lies.

It’s about building better systems.

We believe NatGold is the monetary backbone of that future—a foundation for a new economy based on truth, accountability, and financial sovereignty.

What began as a whisper of doubt is now a roar of defiance.

And from that roar, a new currency of trust is emerging.

NatGold: It Just Makes Sense.

P.S. As serious as the subject—and the history—of reformation may be, there’s always room for a light-hearted take. You might enjoy a couple of Reformation Comedy explorations of the subject:
