This is When Volatility Kicks In – Martin Armstrong​

On gold and silver, Armstrong is decidedly bullish on both metals and says, “This is not the major high. We have too much craziness on the horizon, from sovereign debt default to war. You are just getting a pullback and consolidation. . .. I am looking at the $165 to $200 per ounce area for silver. For gold, I am looking at resistance at the $8,500 per ounce level and, after that, $10,000 per ounce . . . in the next few years.”

A good friend was involved in setting up a demo for uk m.p’s to watch a tug boat go up and down the river Thames, driven by Stan Meyers water fuelled engine . Stan died from food poisoning, a few days before the demo and it was cancelled.
And there’s always spooks turning up at meetings to share ideas.
Some really interesting ideas and individuals in these circles and even more charlatans, trying to convince you they have the answer but need a bit more investment….
The most recent lot we interacted with was the Safire team who are doing real science and quietly admitted they had a runaway situation with loads more power coming out than was going in ( and the anodes and cathodes survived) plus atoms of various elements spontaneously manifesting in the reactor chamber. They were talking about modifying problematic atomic waste products as a way to commercialise the process.

And then there was our very own Doug Coulter, aka dcfusor, who had a dramatic and unexpected increase in output from his cold fusion work, then died not that long afterwards.

It has been pretty well shown what was happening in those experiments. They are LENR reactions. Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. It very much does allow for transmuting elements. It also happened to kill many of the experimenters as you can produce things like Radon.

I get the reasoning...but I'm not seeing the paper-game fail.

They keep on creating moar and moar paper, and dumping it..and of COURSE investors are skittish about buying paper...so the Crimex price falls.

With it, the purported price of actual metal.

I don't see any tendency to adjust this insanity - no pushback, no actual ad-hoc markets where real material is trading. How low can they drive this? What is to stop them?
 
To use an overused cliche, the metals shitshow is unprecedented. There is no corollary, benchmark, metric, historical or other comparator that can be used. We're front seat witnesses to history and there is no good outcome.

I think...to use another overused cliche...we're seeing the death of the dollar.

Nobody will ever say the dollar is dying. But the proof here, is the price (in dollars) volatility of historical monetary metals.

SOMETHING is varying in price and belief, in eagerness of acceptance. And it's not gold or silver.

Donald Trump promises "very hard" land strikes in Latin America​

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he plans to launch “very hard” land strikes in Latin America as part of his administration’s effort to curb drug trafficking, arguing that earlier maritime operations have sharply reduced the flow of fentanyl and other narcotics into the United States.

When Government Subsidies Stopped, Doritos Got 15% Cheaper | ZeroHedge

That's not a surprise.

Think about it. It takes TIME from when you plan production based on the previous months' sales, to manufacture, delivery.

So, they're selling at XXXmillion bags/boxes/units. They're ordered up...and then, the subsidies are cut, and you find out half your "customer base" was buying with OPM.

So now inventory is just sitting there. Stock has to be rotated - those bags are dated.

So let the SALE!!s begin.
 
Who couldn't have seen this coming?

Force everyone into Socialist inSecurity. Remove exemptions. Prevent lump-sum paybacks to survivors. Legally remove any claims of property rights over "accounts." Co-mingle the monies with the General Fund.

And, SURPRISE!...when they're out of money, START DISQUALIFYING!

Why? At LEAST partly, to break down resistance to UBI. The Hegalian Dialectic: Create the problem, then push a solution, which takes matters where opponents wanted them taken. Nudge. Encourage. Coerce. Control. MANDATE.

As we morph from citizens to subjects (which has happened) and to chattel and finally, to a problem requiring a Final Solution.

Which they'll worry about, between visits to the child brothels they have hidden.
 
Gonna require some sort of military triumvirate.

And God have mercy, if we wind up with the wrong ones. The socialist/Leftist/Woke hive-mind exists even in the military...I have no idea why or how it gets there, but it is there, always has been there.
 

This Isn't a Warrant. It's a Home Invasion.​

Path to Liberty: February 18, 2026
It started a revolution. Now it's just your average Wednesday. Government agents with blank-check power to search and seize - no oath, no probable cause, no limits. James Otis called it “the worst instrument of arbitrary power.” Today, most people won’t even flinch at this brazen attack on your life, liberty and property.

Almost as brazen an attack as allowing 20 million 3rd world voters into the country and giving them a free ride at our expense?
 


Bob Woodward was a DEEP STATE OPERATIVE?!

Former policy assistant to President Nixon @MonicaCrowley explains how new documents reveal that a "military spy ring" tried to sabotage Nixon:

"And you know who was a key member of it? One Bob Woodward, who was a Naval intelligence officer, who was read in on this military spy ring and then, through the CIA's Mockingbird media program, was planted as a 'journalist' at the Washington Post, being fed all of the Deep State plans, to throw it on the front page of the Washington Post to bring down a president."​
