Silver is flat, even with gold down $42 and plat and pall down 1%
OTOH, the SM is flat too.
Fascism still alive and well. Now they’re medical professionals too.
What puppets with or without a degree will do for money. Hope the farmers openly object put it on camera like them and make them responsible for any harm. Where’s the warrants? They need to vote these fascist out before they can’t vote anymore. I wonder if they get some kind of stipend there that makes them docile to fascism.
Oil up a few bucks. Iran says our best course of action is to surrender and submit to the new regional order. Well, OK then.
Oil up a few bucks, pm’s down some, not bad yet.
Trump in China May 14th.
Everything is coming to a head.
Dealing with the critical issues affecting life in France. City dwellers must be so relieved.
The gendarmerie will be delighted! A few days in the country, fresh air, exercise instead of pretending that they are making a difference in the hell holes of Paris and Marseilles.

French police are now using drones equipped with thermal imaging, to locate cattle hidden in the country, whose owners (Farmers) refused to vaccinate.
Once located, huge teams of police & vaccine administers turn up to inject all their livestock
He is the one I followed and learned how to treat Covid and posted a video with him on Oasis when I went through it and figuring out how to get it before they banned it which they did and how to dose it.
Just keep in mind Trump called another ceasefire for 3 days on the 8th so we have one more day, maybe, then ??????????
Thanks! The future’s looking bright for us.
Even an HUI five times the present level would be ok for me. 🙂
We just have to figure out a way to free up institutional buyers. I still think they’re being “warned off” of everything pm’s and have been for a long time. If not that, then maybe when these companies start paying decent dividends like they should be starting to do now that will get some of them interested.
As one of the commentators mentioned, it seems like buyers don’t believe the metal prices are here to stay.
Until then, it’s still all about tech.
A few days ago u posted this forecast…..where he was looking for the Hui to go up 25 times…..
https://www.goldtentoasis.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/HHnwhnQaUAAInhG.jpg
There is another way of getting a similar forecast…as of now the Hui/Gold ratio is @ 0.172…the all time Hi recently….back in 2003 was 0.6244, so if that was equalled and Au stood still, the PM share prices need to rise 0.62/0.17 = 3.64 times…then say AU rises to @ 25 K….a near fivefold increase from here….we get a combined rise of just under 20 times, for the shares.
This is at current prices, his 25 times was a while back……
150 year old technology using washing machine motors with a few thousand AA batteries only worked because of the green subsidies. But I like to drive my cars. Auto boxes, adaptive cruise control, lane control etc.; you can keep ’em. Hitting 8,000 rpm in third joining the freeway in the ’85 Mazda, slipping into fourth – the soul of driving. Mind you, if adaptive cruise control has already saved you from an accident maybe the sooner you get FSD the better for everyone.
Find out what’s really going on! ‘Dark Horse’ – TeaserWILL LULA USE A RARE EARTHS DEAL AS A BARGAINING CHIP TO BRIBE THE US INTO OVERLOOKING HIS CODDLING OF NARCOTERRORISTS & HIS REPEATED BREACH OF THE HEMISPHERIC SECURITY PROTOCOL?
VIDEO: ‘Dark Horse’ – TeaserIMAGE: Jim Caviezel in the role of Jair BolsonaroWhen a foreign president travels to meet with the US President, the White House protocol is to have a press conference between the two heads of state. Brazil’s President Lula da Silva met with President Trump for three hours in the Oval Office on Thursday but you would hardly know it, because Lula canceled the press conference, hightailing it out of the White House and quickly flying back to Brazil. Two days prior to Lula’s visit, the DOJ had announced its Antitrust investigation into the four major meatpackers, two of which, JBS and National Beef Packing are Brazilian-owned. Some speculate that Lula sought to avoid a repeat of the dressing-down that Zelenskyy received last year. According to the Tupi Report, Brazilian diplomatic officials said that Lula’s meeting with Trump was a “disaster” and that, as a staunch supporter of Cuba’s Communist regime, Lula is incensed over the US’ increased sanctions on Cuba and for this reason, he chose to delay engagements and to cancel press commitments. Just as Lula was running out the door, the White House released their 2026 Counterrorism Strategy, which on page 10 describes the alliances of Latin American cartels with Hezbollah and how the Trump administration intends to:
Little known to those outside Brazil is that Brazil has had a nuclear program since the 1950s that is now fairly advanced. Conservative Brazilian podcaster, Shimon Oliveira notes that just one month after Lula took office in 2023, two Iranian warships anchored in Brazil. Oliveira says that one of the ships departed with “a box”, after a private event was held, where cellphones weren’t allowed and that there was no record of who entered or who these Iranian people were. Not long afterwards, Iran announced that it had achieved 60% uranium enrichment and the capacity to build up to 9-10 nuclear warheads. Oliveira says it’s probably just a coincidence, as not even Israel has ever heard of Brazilian uranium being sent to Iran. Oliveira’s guest, Mauricio Galante notes that two weeks before the Iranian warships docked, a small amount of uranium went missing from a Brazilian nuclear processing plant. It wasn’t enough to do anything but it’s yet another coincidence, on top of Brazil allowing the Iranian warships to dock being a breach of the Hemispheric Security agreement. Galante says that what worried the American authorities the most was during the 12-Day War last June, he says eight or nine Iranian 767 wide-body aircraft landed in Brasília and returned to Iran. Although there are no reports of any substances being transported or any terrorists on these Iranian planes, it was yet another breach of protocol with the US. The Iranian-Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah has amok in Brazil during Lula’s presidency, trafficking drugs and laundering money through Brazil’s remote border regions with Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela. As with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, Hezbollah has been training and arming Brazil’s largest organized crime syndicates, Comando Vermelho (CV) and Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The PCC runs drugs throughout South America, West Africa and Europe, with a yearly revenue of over $900 million and nearly $6 billion in property investments. In 2023, The Economist reported that the PCC is currently transitioning into a global mafia by penetrating the legal economy and by influencing local politics in the numerous countries where it is active. Lula has repeatedly refused to designate these criminal organizations as “terrorist”, because under international law, classifying them as such would allow other countries to intervene in Brazil and he doesn’t want that. Indeed, it was not long after the Trump administration designated Tren de Aragua and the Cártel de los Soles as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) that US forces surreptitiously invaded Venezuela to capture Maduro. Last September, Juan described the CIA’s consolidation of the Latin American drug cartels and a massive cocaine lab in the Brazilian jungle in the 1980s, with 200 airplanes that was “So big, it was impossible for Brazil or anybody else to go after the people running this operation.” Juan said that President Reagan authorized a covert military assault on that jungle lab by Special Forces who were able to seize all the aircraft and an unbelievable amount of cocaine and cash. This was followed by private negotiations with those in power in Brazil to shut down these drug operations. The result was a decade of record-breaking hyperinflation that neared 7,000% in 1990, which I experienced firsthand. For reasons unclear to me, this whole story has been kept secret and Brazil’s role in international narcotics trafficking is not widely-known, like that of Mexico, Bolivia and Colombia. But maybe that’s about to change. Last September, Juan seemed to imply that the US would be going into Brazil, saying:
Since Juan said that last September, the Trump administration has exfiltrated the Venezuelan president, launched a war in Iran and anti-narcotics operations in Ecuador and Colombia. The film, ‘Dark Horse’ appears to be an information operation related to what Juan was described, to expose the vote fraud in Brazil. ‘Dark Horse’, starring Jim Caviezel (’Passion of the Christ’), produced by Eduardo Verástegui (’Sound of Freedom’) and directed by Iranian-American filmmaker, Cyrus Nowrasteh is the story of Jair Bolsonaro, tracing his career as a military officer who rose from obscurity as a congressman to become president of Brazil. Although originally scheduled to be released on September 11th of this year, Nino Rodriguez tweeted a poster of the film, announcing its premiere on June 15th at the Fraud Fighter’s Summit in Las Vegas. |
I don’t know about other country cars but seems to me when they started outsourcing manufacturing combined with electronic overkill it’s been going down hill as far as reliability and as far as being able to fix a car. A friend said her mechanic and friend had to make a part for her car. Used to be able to get life time warrantee on parts and batteries with longer warrantees but no longer. Quality in manufacturing down, add a bunch of electronics prices up. Also switching metal to make lighter cars but prices up makes no sense. Many serious and honest mechanics who have to fix them aren’t too happy either.
It doesn’t work now because parts don’t wear out, they fail, and the same part fails on every car. The BT50 headlight will fail on many, which is why the second hand price is just below new price. Toyota Prados built between 2009 and 2014 have a manufacturing fault in the gearbox affecting the clutch. They all fail. The front end falls off 2014-2018 Isuzus. Diesel RAV4s only have a tow weight of half a ton. Hyundai i30 aircons are terrible. VW Polo 5th gears have a plastic part which never lasts. In other words, you’ll never find a Polo gearbox at pick ‘n pull that isn’t faulty, because that’s why the car is there in the first place.
They should keep all those cars at the junk yard for parts. Since they generally stop making new parts after 5 years best to get a popular car good for transportation and gas. What they call pick and pull here with popular cars here which range from Toyotas, Honda’s second ,Lexus to Dodge Ram etc you can find parts at pick and pulls if all else fails. Instead of looking at these shining cars with all the gadgets and apparently some your not even aware of to impress people but all sorts of things going wrong with electronic overkill, with over charged flimsy cheap parts they stop making that break easily and cost them to fix things. Then they put things in units where you have to buy the whole unit instead of one thing, another robbery scam. They want you to have to keep buying cars like they’re disposable instead of fixing them. What a waist of money and natural resources. There are a few more EVs on the road by people who drive a lot and some invested in solar to charge them and in winter late at night before sunrise when electric costs go down and keep a gas car as second car. Nevertheless we had a power out yesterday during the night before sunrise. These EVs tend to always catch fire in a impact accident. Anyone that has them should have a reliable window breaker in their car.
Re yr 21.44 on Trump….great post …tks
I know a a guy who runs his own Jag garage …..was an apprentice at 16 for Jaguar, @ 50 years ago, then started his on his own…now people bring him cars from all over the world, even Jaguar themselves bring him cars…he says no car built after 2014 is worth touching , for exactly yr reasons, they are way too complicated and can take weeks to fix….he had an I Pace in that no-one could fix, the car was dead…eventually they found the fault,,,a failed light above the tow bar…the total bill was £ thousands !!!!!!
One story I was told, the guy was driving down the road, and suddenly for no reason, his brakes went on and the horn started honking. He could have gotten rear ended.
Another story, the guy is driving down the highway, and some guy cuts in front of him, he instantly cut the steering wheel to the left, and the steering wheel was shuttering and resisting him from turning because he did not use his directional signal first.
I would love to buy a new car but they are way too complicated with way too many electronic things that can go wrong and very expensive to fix. There is a junk yard near me, and every time I ride by there, I see plenty of very nice looking cars, with no body damage, ready to be crushed, obviously because of expensing electronic night mares.
My newsist car is a 2001 GMC Jimmy, and even that one is too new for me, but FAR FAR better than any cars after 2004.
@deer79 you’re welcome.
Thanks for posting the piece about CK’s perspective on Trump. An interesting take…..
It got hit by hail two years ago and I had my car parked below two pine trees. It was big hail,at least inch and a quarter and it cost me $11,300 to have the dents removed. If my car would have just been sitting outside, it would have been totaled. My car has adaptive cruise control and it uses two cameras for steering, looking ahead, and braking. Of course my roof was damaged from this hail, so they had to take down the headliner, which means they had to takedown my rear view mirror in the process. These two cameras sit in rear view mirror and the cost of getting the two cameras repositioned was over $1800. People would say that’s stupid, I would never pay that much. I think those cameras have already saved me $1800 bucks just in accident avoidance alone.
I know you guys all hate Tesla, but I don’t. FSD is the best driving system in the world, no one can even come close, and you guys hated Tesla and watched it go from some pipsqueak stock to the heavens and most of you badmouthed it the whole way, and you were all wrong. Laugh. I stole lunches. And that’s why I get to keep the money bags and you guys don’t. Stockholders with guts win, my hands are big and strong!
My daughter’s Mazda has adaptive cruise control. We didn’t know that, or even what it means, until the windshield cracked. Windshield with ACC, $975, without $450. Something went wrong with a caliper on it, electronic of course, not fixable, $800. A friend’s BMW parking brake sensor failed, $6,200 (half the interior needed removing). Headlight, LED, on a Mazda BT50 (light truck) had some LEDs fail – can’t replace an LED, $2,500 – none available on the second hand market or, if you can find one, it’s $2,000, demand and supprice, you know. Sister’s Golf’s dual-clutch gearbox failed in the fast lane of the highway, couldn’t get out of first gear, $3,500 to repair, doesn’t drive the same (new wine into old bottles) only done 40,000 miles.
Seals for leaky rear wheel cylinder on the ol’ 306, $24. Actually, I reckon that’s a rip off too.
That’s funny, that’s what they said about the rising prices of the homes. Now gas too, no that was Newscum. The taking prior taxes is limited to 55 or over, displaced from disaster, or disability and only have a couple of yrs to do it but if the new one is more than the other they’ll have to pay the difference. It’s not actually low taxes due to prices but another proposition that prevents them from raising taxes once you buy it. If you refinance and it’s worth more taxes will be reset at higher amount or expansions, new pool in ground can affect it. So know they can’t keep adding things. Calif taxes initially are higher than other states to as well as everything else. The next day after my daughter’s surgery with four surgery sites to remove her hardware from getting not by a car again a yr and half ago that took longer than they thought and a lot of pain when she woke she was finally really hungry the next morning so I let her order a breakfast and she got me one too not knowing how big they were at this country restaurant bjt still and one club sandwich for her for later that day because she wasn’t supposed to be walking around get. Doesn’t stop these kids of Semper Fi she used crutches to get to her car. Anyway I went to pay it and they can pick it up 76 bucks for two breakfast and one lunch??!!!!
Maybe back then the bribes given to the Donald weren’t known about, like the $200m Miriam Adelson gave for each of his campaigns. $400m buys a lot of influence. Feel free to check out how Jewish she is.
So he is just as compromised as the others, pragmatic or not. And I still think he’s gullible, believing what other people (whom he probably thinks are as pragmatic and well meaning as he is) are telling him. “Iran will capitulate within days”. “You can stop the Ukraine war very easily”. “Tariffs are the solution to all our financial problems”. “A few bunker-busters will destroy the nuclear program for ever”. At least he has closed the border, wound back DEI and gone a long way to cancelling the climate nonsense. Not that any of them are a concern for Israel.
