Re Germany…they need the AfD badly……but that will be one hell of a fight.

As for Farage he has loads of form, talking the talk and then backing down……Lowe is what we need…..with Musks money and expertise on Social Media….he may do it.

Excellent post and timely reminder….funny how so much negative talk is going on re AG…when Crimex is looking at a full on default in March, when you compare OI to deliverables…….could they be lieing ??????

still bullish on silver

Posted by treefrog @ 12:53 on February 17, 2026  

the structural deficit is real, and continues.  demand/consumption exceeds annual global mined production.

there are no effective substitutes for silver in many industrial applications.

 

supply is inelastic.

new silver mines take about ten years from discovery to production.

primary silver mines are quite rare.

seventy percent of silver is produced as a byproduct of other mining activities.  a copper miner whose silver byproduct gives him three percent of his revenue stream will not increase production

if silver prices only double or triple.

 

silver, though expensive, is used in small quantities per unit of product.  there is a small quantity of silver in each smart phone.  even at $100/toz, there’s less than a dime’s worth in a $1000 phone.

wide dispersion makes recycling difficult at best.  there are several kilos of silver in each cruise missile (mostly in the batteries).  none of it is recyclable.  other uses are not much easier to recycle.

purchasing departments for industrial users REALLY don’t want to have to explain to upper management that the $multi million (billion?) production line has to shut down because the price of

silver is too high.  it’s anybody’s guess how high they will pay to avoid this. (guess high, then add 35%.)

 

march deliveries are coming.  there are four ounces sold forward (shorted) for every deliverable ounce in the comex warehouses.  even if they manage to patch something together to squeeze

through march deliveries (much pissing and moaning, many corporate oxen being gored), there are subsequent delivery months.

scrap and junk being squeezed “out of the woodwork?”  there’s some out there.  hard to tell how much, but however much there is, it’s finite.  there’s a lot less than there was before the hunt

bros. price spike of ’80 (and less still after each subsequent price spike).  granny can sell the family sterling silver, but she can only sell it ONCE.

 

the last couple weeks of march are going to be interesting.

likewise the last couple weeks of each subsequent delivery month.  this is a LONG game.

 

we live in interesting times.

I get it. A whole bunch of opinions out there and people talking their books. Nothing ever changes on Wall Street, money is their God and it demands that they lie cheat and steal.

As for Zero, I think I’d have been better off never visiting their site. As you say they are always negative.

Did you see the latest from Nigel Farage? He says he wouldn’t try to deport the illegals … wouldn’t be worth the trouble. Amazing!

I hope you are right and nothing has changed and the bulls still rages.

In the meantime they beat the the living crap out of us so you’ll get some good prices.👍

The shares aren’t trading like they think we’re going to sustain these prices.

We knew this week would be troublesome because we’ve lost the Chinese.

Maddog – I guess silver could be done and I hope everyone who wanted to be out, got out. I know the general public were big sellers of phyzz and scrap, makes sense after they waited so long. I don’t know if they’re still selling.

If this is a monetary event, then it’s not likely over. If it’s a supply event, I wonder if there was enough scrap selling to make up the difference. Who can know that? Refiners?

I still want to see what happens at Crimex in March, one thing is they surely shook a lot of people out between CME raising margins and banks colluding.

We heard the same thing when silver crossed $50 and there was another big dump back in November I think. VBL said “something changed” and it was over.

My YouTube feed is flooded with AG and Older woman AI videos with views on both sides. The level of opinion gets pretty exhausting. Too much noise.

I just hope they don’t take it back to $50.

Think Covid was bad? How about a plethora of lethal diseases at once including Ebola.

Paraphrasing Donald Trump Jr.

A fugitive who entered the US illegally during Biden administration after caught with a lethal biolab material in Calif set free in 2023 and did it again in Nevada.  Why did Newscum allow terrorist to be set free?

The FBI and Las Vegas police raided a home in East Las Vegas on Jan 31st on a tip that a illegal bio laboratory was being operated in a residential garage there. When they got inside they found refrigerators filled with unknown liquids, biohazard equipment and over a thousand samples that have been sent to Quantico for testing.
The property is known by a Chinese national who’s already in Federal custody. Think about that. Theres a Chinese biolab on US soil, I wonder how many other biohazards China could have created in I don’t know, in the last 6 or 7 years.
He was arrested back in 2023 for running a illegal biolab in California. He was already arrested for running a biolab with things like HIV, malaria, TB, Covid, and even a freezer labeled EBOLA. Replicating EBOLA on US soil. He was arrested once already and they let him go so he could do it all over again in the next state over.
There was nearly a 1000 mice which were geneticly engineered to mimic the human immune system. I wonder what you would do with that?!
This guy has ties to the CCP,
had a judgement against him in Canada for stealing intellectual property. What kind of property, I don’t know, could it be biohazardous? And was a fugitive who entered the US illegally, and then they got him in 2023 and they let him go and he did it again. And what did the Biden administration do about it, they buried it.

On Jan 31, 2026, the FBI and Las Vegas police raided a residential garage in East Las Vegas, discovering an illegal bio lab that left several people “deathly ill”

. The facility, described as smelling like a hospital, contained vials of unknown liquids, refrigerators, and potential pathogens linked to a previously raided illegal lab in Reedley, California. 

Key details regarding the incident include:
  • Health Hazards: Multiple individuals fell ill after exposure to the material in the home, which was being used as an Airbnb or short-term rental.
  • Investigation & Linkages: The FBI opened an investigation into the site, which is connected to a 2023 case in California where pathogens like HIV and malaria were found.
  • Suspect: Property manager Ory Solomon faces charges related to illegal disposal of hazardous waste, federal firearms violations, and visa violations.
  • Public Safety: Despite the alarming nature of the discovery, authorities initially indicated there was no immediate threat to the wider public.
  • An illegal bioweapons lab was found in a Las Vegas garage. It’s a warning for Australia https://share.google/O9pRiWf21GcK9y6Ij

Posted by eeos @ 20:21 on February 16, 2026  

Elon is not the antichrist bad kid on the block. Nice try. He’s very smart and a capitalist. I’m fine with him in the USA, what did you think he needed to do, stay in South Africa? C’mon man, wake the hell up. I would be fearful if Musk was in ANY other country! The USA is extremely lucky to have someone so smart and dedicated. All other countries are toast. We got everything we need in the USA and you don’t know, it but you guys are joining us soon enough. You’ll have no choice. Canada is walking on thin ice. Tick tock.

Hi Maddog,

I recently watched a video on YouTube regarding the impact of gold prices in China. I believe these effects are likely occurring on a global scale as well. Given the common saying that a market top is near when everyone is talking about it.

Apparently the rise in prices are having a inverse effect on the  gold jewelry stores causing some stores to close. On the other hand the gold bullion stores now during any dip in prices causes a long line of buyers standing outside. If more gold jewelry stores close I can imagine those lines in the future will get longer.
With that said one could speculate what might happen once their holiday is over if the prices continue to slowly decline right now.
The demand in their country is apparently leading the demand for gold.

Our generations survived without cellphones and cumputer technology some how, the future can learn to survive without it if needed.

Quote of the day by Dalai Lama: ‘If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

I have to disagree that Musk has any power play intentions, he’s not a politician or even a government worker. They on the other hand like they do now can and will miss use it if they can.
