Your Retirement Pension Was Stolen Yanis Varoufakis

A pension fund manager sent me an email last week with the subject line "We need to talk. Urgently"—inside, he admitted his $230 billion fund is 68% invested in dollar-denominated securities, and after everything I've warned about, he ran the numbers and realized his retirees are finished. This isn't one fund—it's the entire $56 trillion global pension system facing the same nightmare, with roughly $33 trillion locked into assets that depend on dollar dominance, Western stability, and assumptions that have already broken. Every domino I've shown you—Russia's frozen assets, Germany's industrial collapse, the petrodollar's death, China's $5 trillion wealth transfer—they all fall toward the same final target: your retirement savings. While your pension statement looks normal, those numbers assume a financial system that no longer exists, and by the time most people realize their retirement was stolen, it will already be gone. Teachers, nurses, factory workers who did everything right for 40 years are about to discover the system won't honor its promises—and almost nobody is warning them.
