Our team reminded our subscribers in January that 2024 is the year of the dragon. On February 10, 2024, the Lunar New Year of the Green Wood Dragon was ushered in, and it stretches until January 28, 2025. We are over 7 months into our calendar, but just over 6 months into the lunar calendar.
The question is where does this mysterious wood dragon reside? The US MSM nearly demands that we all have reverent fear for the ominous dragon known as China. However, if the dragon is from China, aren’t we talking about the ushering in of things like renewal and growth, harmony and balance, and prosperity and wealth? Could the dragon from China be poised to bring the world new found channels of energy that shape and balance our environment and lives? Finally, we all know that green is the color of financial prosperity.

But what about Japan? Could that also be the home of the 2024 wood dragon? Is it possible that Japan, an ally of the United States, could usher in financial prosperity, renewal, growth, harmony, and balance into the world? But how?
Based on our humble opinion, and nothing more, it seems wise to be paying attention to the major foreign holders of US treasury securities. Japan and China have held the #1 and #2 position for several years. As you can see, Japan is by far the largest holder of treasury securities and China’s holdings are trending down. Japan is basically “holding up” or “propping up” the US economy.
China has dropped nearly 25% of its holdings in just two years. In May, they dumped the largest amount of US treasuries in history.
Meanwhile, it would certainly appear that the US dollar is being ushered out as the world’s reserve currency. Our best guess is that the US dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency began decelerating when Trump was in office, but its deceleration may have started even sooner than 2016.
BRICS emerging economies were already being established in 2009. Let’s just guess that the deceleration process of the US dollar serving as the world’s reserve currency started sometime between 2010 and 2020.
So what are we suggesting? The US Dollar has nearly been removed from all major international trade. To illustrate, Saudi Arabia did NOT renew the Petro dollar agreement for oil. This 50-year agreement simply expired on 6/9/24, resulting in a major paradigm shift on a global scale.
The age of the petrodollar is over. Saudi Arabia announced on June 13 2024 that it won't renew a landmark agreement with the US — signed in June 1974 — to sell oil exclusively in US dollars in exchange for security guarantees.
You absolutely know with certainty that the Petro dollar agreement expiring is a YUGE deal as several sources deemed the story to be “fake” news, and most US MSM outlets reported little or nothing on this major news story.
So let’s circle back. What do you think?
Does the wood dragon reside in China?
The ancient Chinese prophecy book “Tu bei tu” (akin to “The Prophecies of Nostradamus,”) believed to be based on I Ching – contains 60 drawings with poems that make predictions about China’s future.
Poem #43 offers insights into the future, with the image of a big man walking next to a small man) hinting at the dynamics between Taiwan and China. The thought-provoking part of the prophecy refers to: “..the black rabbit escapes into the green dragon’s cave.” 2023 was the year of the Black Rabbit and this is the year of the Green Dragon. Some speculate that the Black Rabbit is the US and that the poem may predict significant changes with the dynamic between China later this year.
China and several other BRICS nations have been blatantly dismissing the US dollar for months now and moving away from it altogether. Which is it? Should BRICS be seen as a “threat” or a “signal", as RFK stated on 10/27/23?
The signal is telling is us to stop weaponizing the US dollar.
Or does the mysterious dragon of 2024 reside in Japan?
Does Japan hold the keys to officially ending the US Dollar’s 100+ year reign as the world’s reserve currency? Is Japan the place from which the 2024 wood dragon will emerge to usher in a new financial system that rebalances world economics?
Here are some news articles involving Japan and its most recent financial chess moves.
In April 2024, the Japanese Yen fell to a 34-year low against the US dollar. When exactly will Japan be “forced” to sell off US securities? Well, it looks like the sell-off began to transpire in June 2024.
In July, Japan launched new bank notes.

Will the US dollar be dethroned from its position as the world’s reserve currency by Chinese enemy fire or friendly fire from an ally like Japan?
All we can say is keep a close eye on Japan as we enter the 2nd half of the “Year of the Dragon.” If you thought the first half was tumultuous, brace yourselves for the second half. If the reports are true that Japan just declared a state of emergency, things are going to heat up rather quickly.

A new Japanese study published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory Practice and Research proves that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines contain unauthorized “animated worm-like” entities, invisible to the human eye, that swim, wriggle, and assemble themselves into complex structures.
As the Dr. Young Mi Lee and Dr. Daniel Broudy from Okinawa Christian University explain, these worm-like entities are responsible for causing clots inside millions of human bodies around the world since the mRNA roll out.
