I don’t know all Trump’s doing but he’s always doing something. He has business plans lined up. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to think about it or in the demos case worry about it. That there’s someone there that knows what their doing and it’s not a nefarious agenda dreamed up by some bored psycho elitist who has no life.
He has countries that are willing to invest billions in this country in manufacturing and the pay off is no tarriffs and lower tarriffs for purchases. He plans on bringing some of our manufacturing back and pharmaceutical companies back. We can’t expect it all to happen over night but there is a plan for the future.
Severe deflation, the outcome of a successful DOGE.
Getting a bit concerned about the impact of Musk and Co. being so successful. Suppose they do manage to slice $2tn p.a. off government spending? It doesn’t really matter if it is fraudulent SS payments, corrupt treasury payments, overpaying of contracts for military and other procurements or the abolition of whole departments; it’s taking $2tn out of the economy.
I’m not suggesting they don’t do it – but there doesn’t seem to be a plan to soften the impact.
Cap’n 12:12, but what’s the alternative?
If Kamala had won the deep state would have strengthened its control of society and the descent into communism would be guaranteed. The blob would have found more ways and means to oppose the opposition, and with J6 then entrenched as a precedent jailings of any opponents would become normal and any publicity suppressed. Nobody would know what was happening.
Where is the evidence for Trusk wanting to do what Chris Hedges suggests? All I see so far is two guys doing their best for America and its people and having an absolutely disgraceful amount of fun at the same time! Musk in particular. I can’t see any hint of him wanting to control people, or having a lust for power or riches. All Musk’s actions to date are the opposite. Fighting to keep OpenAI free, Grok, making Starlink free in disaster areas, removing censorship from X, getting rid of government departments, exposing barn door sized deficiencies in SS and Treasury procedures; HOW were these never addressed before? The incompetency and corruption is unbelievable.
I just can’t see how all this stuff is remotely comparable to the rise of Hitler or Stalin. Mump did not seize power, as Hedges suggests, they were elected in fair and free elections. The only thing that Trusk are doing to combat the opposition is to cut off their illegal funding. The opposition can still freely post on X and Truth Social, as well as their own echo chamber Bluesky. Free speech is much freer than it was under the deep state (and Nazi Germany and the USSR, ever). Hedges statement that “Compromise, limited power, checks and balances and accountability are slated to be abolished” is simply bullshit. The opposite is happening – not slated to happen, but done and dusted. Every Treasury payment now has to have its accountability code. Checks and balances will soon be in place to make sure that SS numbers are updated with date of death. He also whinges that “This order removed employment protections from career government bureaucrats.” What’s the issue? Why should they have employment protection when their incompetence and corruption has become crystal clear?
ALL Mumps’ actions to date indicate the opposite to what Hedges says. And Trump’s insistence that the war in Ukraine will end could only be disparaged by psychopaths. Of course the Europeans and that revolting little grot have been left out of the negotiations – they’ve insisted from the start that they will never negotiate with Putin; why would you invite them to the table?
Captain Hook @ 18:26
Yeah a lot of the silver miners are barely making it. If recent trends continue they will be in better shape soon! The riggers should have allowed the silver miners a better margin and they’d have more supply.
I’m looking forward to the coming fracas. I hear the LBMA deliveries now take 8 weeks. Sound rather defaultish to me!
Cheers
ipso facto @ 18:03
Silver is not allowed to go too far away from the cost of production (currently calculated at ~$26 – probably higher) … just enough to keep producers in business (and making their debt payments), but not too expensive for the military / industrial complex.
Guess SSR needs silver a lot higher prices … no? A lot of companies do with all-in costs exploding higher. Prices are actually stupid low.
Expect a move towards $4o very soon. – possibly higher well into the $40’s.
Don’t know how long it will stay there because rising commodities should crash stocks into the summer/fall – draining liquidity – not to mention the conniption bullion banks / shorts will be having (and dealing with).
Probably come back down and test the breakout at $33 – 35 into summer / fall.
Cheers
Looks like Biden is not getting those …
… presidential subsidized meds anymore.
Funny stuff
No Bueno … you’d think with such high metals prices?
SSR Mining: Q4 Earnings Snapshot

Right the people who instigated this didn’t care about the people. They just wanted their assets.
I copied this from somewhere on this site. Biden’s in it. Fractional land deals lol after what they did to them it is kinda funny. Resources already sold.
SNG
Agree ?
And they can play that game for a long time until the buying pressure is significantly higher. We just haven’t hit that point yet and so many people have been flushed out forever over the years.
When the banks and hedge funds finally decide to play, we’ll see how well they can control them or whether they flip to buy mode.
Almost like they use the shares to quell any excitement in the metals.
Anyhoo, I think we get a make up day tomorrow, maybe even with the metals flat or down a little.
Eventually, the shares will have their day, but probably not until we see higher silver prices. JMHO.
Buygold @ 14:08…About volume. I think volume is no longer and indication of interest from investors.
Several things have happened to disqualify volume as having meaning, but here are a couple of them.
If two supercomputers want to control the price of something, all they have to do is sell to each other, or one buy the shares or commodity , and the other short the same shares or commodity, thus negating the other super computer’s buy but creating two trades every time that transaction is made. They can do this continuously, making huge volume while the shares or commodity go nowhere.
There was risk in doing this, called naked shorting if they did not possess the shares they were shorting, but IMO that was solved by the recent events happening with the on-line brokers offering “no commission trades”. My speculation is that the shares or commodity in the possession of the on-line brokers have been loaned or leased or rented to the owners of the supercomputers so they can claim to own them so they can make these buy and short trades legally.
Also, in margin accounts, if you are not using your margin, your on-line broker can lease that available margin to the owners of the super computers (say BlackRock and Vanguard and StateStreet) to cover the buy/short trades being made.
Difficult to explain but IMO that is what has evolved these last two decades and why volume is no longer and indicator of interest, and why the markets no longer make sense. All FWIW from Silverngold, but DYODD!
Hui /GDX about to give major buy signal as 50 d av will recross above 200 d av , to give signal
Often takes some time…but if it holds the buy signal will be good.

When the people in Ukraine find out what the real story is…..they will rightly go ape ……they have been used as cannon fodder, to weaken Russia and so the Globalists can enrich them selves…..sold as a moral crusade……it is one of the most evil acts ever.
I would put them all stark bollock naked, in the main square of Kyiv and let the Ukrainians do as they see fit.

Did you see this. Hamas offering a olive branch for peace. Agreed to leave the Gaza strip hand it to Palestinians.
https://tass.com/world/1914171
Then s new one popped up. Trump released the ban on bombs to Isreal. I hope they don’t mess up any chance for peace.
Maddog
I’m not used to posting this much but I talked to a person from there when I heard Biden was paying the people pensions, schools and other stuff but held back on believing all those people are going to die for nothing. They believed they could win. Long story short too late I know but he said if Zelenski crosses them or money is missing meant for the war they’ll kill him. He just might be better off it they vote him out.
Maddog
Yeah it seems like it was taken over probably with promises of permanent power like their doing, threatening to shut down your choices. They need bigger numbers and let them know they don’t make their decisions. Their fired. They need to be investigated and their hiring someone else. There needs to be a group that goes after Davos and kick them out of their bunker in Switzerland too. Or make it very uncomfortable for them to go there and if they get repercussions they do it to them too by peaceful protesting. They’re not wanted anywhere, can only buy people or want to be like them. They have this illusion they are untouchables that can go anywhere they want not because their liked but think their so above everybody else, have their security and cars waiting for them hopefully with Chinese spys in them unlike the citizens who can’t even be safe walking down the street to the store or going to a park. People shouldn’t forget to warn their kids who not to talk to, stay away far from them or the computer.
Maddog
No volume in the shares. Pretty weird day. They flushed folks out pretty well on Friday and burned some fingers.
I’m not sure what to make of it to be honest.
Ipso 12:34
Very Careful!! I know more than I ever imagined or wanted to know it just happened that way. They knew enough not to mention names or anything that would make me a target but still you know less you can make yourself disappear your not safe anywhere if they target you. The person who told me ” the rest of the story’ was set up too and at least they didn’t kill him like the others or hopefully not but sent me a message before they came for him. Then you know how I am with computers suddenly my computer stopped working. The address to his family was on it. I did get a message to his daughter to tell her to watch over his health and tell him not to take any vaccines. That was before swine flu or Covid. The computer fixer said the hard drive was destroyed had to get a new one. I don’t think it was a coincidence I don’t know for sure.
The most stupid trade in history…..shorting PM shares today…
Yet again we see PM shares intra day tracking the Stock Mkt…Gold is within pennies of the days Hi’s, having made a stunning recovery……the news could not be more bullish, as either there is no/not a lot of Gold in Fort Knox and no matter what the outcome whatever Gold there is, it is going to be revalued, many times higher…and to really add to their woes, DOGE is likely to come knockin, to see why they have never delivered any certificates against their shorts…which could be many times the float…. Yet the mad hedgies let their Algo’s keep shorting the shares…because they worked for a long time….
Who else is selling today, certainly no bugs, they only want more, maybe some dumb mine, on the back side of the moon, with no news…no one else is….yet still the funds short a super thin mkt….there is only one way this ends…the shorts get taken off on a stretcher, in a body bag.

Did they erase his videos or documentation like they do? I’m not sure what’s going on with him but seems like he is a political prisoner the way their treating him. When they isolate him like that they want total control and isolate him from any support system even family and one sided propaganda. A lone person going up against elites that will buy people is suicide. Just some people are willing to do it anyways. It just makes the elitist look more guilty. Seems like they want to drag it on and on and don’t know if they have any higher courts or supreme courts to go through and want to make sure he has no money to do it.
We saw they treated Canadians and Australians that was atrocious and the ones behind it need to be hunted down rabid wolves. I don’t remember reading too much what happened in UK or Europe but probably wasn’t pleasant there either.
It was everywhere and seems this was a global bioweapon attack and coup against the citizens everywhere. Not just between the NIH and Wuhan.

Europe was taken over by the EU…which itself was always a plot against the people to create a super state….But the people who created it knew they could never tell the people what they had planned, as they would never vote for it.
But now the Commission, which really runs the EU, has been taken over by Davos Globalists, so it is even further away from the -people…the vast majority do not want any of what is being rammed down their throats…..but all traditional parties have been taken over, so only new ones like AfD in Germ,any, or Reform in UK are beginning to be the most popular…hence all this talk of cancelling elections, if the wrong party wins……so long as fair elections take place, then the Davos crew will be swept away, as elections roll through the various countries……..
But we may yet see elections cancelled, parties shut down…as that is the only way they can stay at the top table.
MetalsGuy
Well said on Reiner…hope fully he will get some justice if the AfD do well…..It is a real scandal…just like Tommy Robinson here.
goldielocks @ 12:26
Doge and Donald have to look into the CIA as well. Lots of dirty dealings in there. They need to be careful though … for their personal security!
