The Real Coup in America is Happening Quietly
Why the Fight Over the Fed is More Dangerous than Most People Think
On August 29, 2025, something happened that should have dominated every headline in America.
Inside a Washington, D.C. courtroom, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook fought to keep her job. The White House had just tried to fire her.
The reason? According to her legal team, she refused to support aggressive interest rate cuts being pushed by the administration.
No sitting president has ever fired a Fed governor over policy disagreements. But that line has now been crossed.
This wasn't just about one person. It was a warning. The U.S. central bank is being pulled into the political machine. And if that continues, it could have devastating consequences for the economy, the dollar, and your financial future.
How the Debt Trap Sets the Stage
The United States government is drowning in debt. It now owes more than 120 percent of its GDP. That is a higher level than after World War II.
But here’s the difference. Back then, the war was over. Today, the spending spree is still going.
Trillion-dollar deficits are becoming routine. The Treasury is flooding the market with short-term debt and refinancing at much higher interest rates.
Over the next 12 months, more than $9 trillion in U.S. debt will mature. It will have to be rolled over at significantly higher rates than when it was first issued.
That refinancing is pushing annual interest costs toward 20 percent of the entire federal budget.
This is what economists call a debt trap. The government borrows more to pay off old debt, which increases interest payments, which leads to more borrowing. It feeds on itself.
The only way to keep the game going is for the Federal Reserve to keep rates low. But doing that creates another risk: inflation.
That’s the choice Washington is staring at. Either live with higher interest costs and risk a budget crisis, or suppress interest rates and risk damaging the dollar.
And once the Fed loses control of either, the problem becomes much harder to fix.
They’re calling it the ‘Freedom Dividend’
Tech titans like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Mark Zuckerberg are calling for Universal Basic Income as AI threatens to eliminate millions of jobs.
But there’s a critical question few are asking: Who will pay for it?
Instead of relying on taxpayer funding, Mode Mobile is using attention as currency, already paying out $325M to over 50M users. Deloitte crowned them North America’s fastest-growing software company in 2023 after their revenue soared 32,481%.
And investors have a window to get in early before this becomes the template for post-AI income redistribution.
They’ve secured their Nasdaq ticker $MODE, and their $0.30/share pre-IPO offering may not be open much longer. The offering could close any moment now.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.

Why This Puts the Fed in the Crosshairs
For decades, the Fed has been able to act independently. That independence is the reason investors around the world trust the dollar and buy U.S. government bonds.
But the pressure to change that is building fast.
The President has called for a 3-percentage point rate cut. He says this would save the government about $1 trillion per year in interest payments.
He also made it clear that once he controls the Fed’s board, those rate cuts will come. Let’s be blunt. That is not monetary policy. That is fiscal manipulation.
Economists call this “fiscal dominance.” It means debt concerns start to dictate what the central bank does. The Fed becomes a servant to the Treasury.
Once that happens, inflation doesn’t just become a risk. It becomes the plan.
Why This Isn’t Just a Political Fight
You may be wondering why this matters to you. Here’s why.
The credibility of the Federal Reserve is one of the few remaining anchors that keeps the dollar strong. It gives investors confidence that inflation will not spiral out of control. It keeps U.S. borrowing costs manageable.
But that credibility is now being tested.
Former New York Fed President Bill Dudley warned that even if the White House fails to take full control of the Fed, the attempt alone is enough to damage markets. If it succeeds, the consequences could be extreme.
We’ve been here before.
In the 1970s, the Nixon administration pressured the Fed to keep rates low ahead of the election. That decision helped fuel the Great Inflation, which eventually forced the Fed to raise interest rates above 15 percent to stop it.
Back then, the U.S. debt load was much lower than it is today. And there was still political will to rein in spending.
Today, neither of those things is true.
What Happens If This Becomes the New Normal
The deeper concern is that this kind of political pressure on the Fed is not a one-off event.
If the government continues to run massive deficits, and if those deficits become too politically painful to address, then the easiest path forward will be to lean harder on the Fed.
That means pushing for lower rates. That means tolerating higher inflation. And that means asking the central bank to quietly help pay the bills by printing money.
But every time that happens, it chips away at the dollar’s credibility.
Already, we are seeing signs of stress. The U.S. Dollar Index is down roughly 10 percent this year. Investors are demanding higher yields to hold Treasuries. That’s the market's way of saying, “We don’t trust this direction.”
If the Fed is forced to stay behind the curve on inflation because it’s under political control, that trust will fade faster.
And once it's gone, it won't come back easily.
You missed $PLTR at $10. Don’t miss this.
Palantir rocketed to $350 billion by helping companies extract value from user data. The big data gold rush is here, but the company that stands to profit the most may not be Palantir…
Instead of just collecting data Mode Mobile is sharing the profits from it.
So while Palantir serves corporations, Mode Mobile helps everyday people make money from their smartphones.
So far, they’ve already helped their users save and earn more than $325M.
So while Palantir saw ~900% growth in 24 months, Mode Mobile’s 32,481% revenue growth over 3 years ranked them as North America’s #1 fastest growing software company.
They’ve secured the $MODE Nasdaq ticker and pre-IPO shares are available at just $0.30/share.
50M+ users already trust Mode. Walmart and Best Buy carry their phones.
This is just the beginning of the data gold rush for Mode Mobile.
The question is, will you be part of it?
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.

The Real Risk is not Just Economic
This isn’t just about budgets or inflation charts.
The dollar is the foundation of American power. It is how we impose sanctions. It is why other nations keep their reserves in U.S. assets. It is the reason our government can borrow cheaply to respond to crises.
Lose that, and everything changes.
In places like Turkey and Argentina, we’ve seen what happens when central banks become political tools. Currency collapses, capital flees, and economies unravel.
The United States is not immune.
If global confidence in the Fed collapses, so does confidence in the dollar. And if that happens, the costs will show up everywhere—at the gas station, in mortgage rates, in retirement accounts, and in the country’s ability to defend its global interests.
What This Means for You
This is not about fearmongering. It is about facing hard facts.
The United States has reached a point where it must choose. Either we confront the debt problem directly, or we let it eat away at the integrity of our currency.
And if we don’t fix it, market forces will fix it for us, and that solution will be much more painful.
So, what can you do?
Demand safeguards for the Fed’s independence
Congress should not be allowed to politicize interest rates. It must support policies that give the Fed room to operate without political interference.
Demand fiscal responsibility from your representatives
Balanced budgets are not optional. They are the only way to avoid forcing the Fed into an impossible position.
Protect your financial future
If inflation becomes policy, you need to own assets that survive it. Hard assets. Income-generating assets. And for some, that may include exposure to alternatives that cannot be inflated away.
Final Thought
There is no longer room for delay. America must decide if it wants a strong dollar or an easy way out of its debt problem.
It cannot have both.
The pressure is rising. The Fed is being cornered. And unless something changes, this quiet crisis could turn into something much more visible and much more damaging.
Now is the time to pay attention. Not later.
Stay Sharp,
