There is a way out of that assumption that getting the birth rate down doesn’t necessarily mean to kill people although in reality because they refuse the spend the money to make the vaccines safe because they bribed and threatened the governments so they don’t have to. So we know while they get rich they don’t have the people’s best interest in mind. The theory is if the death rates go down from preventable diseases by vaccination the people will not need to have a bunch of kids in case some don’t survive. Not that I want to give them a excuse because I know their up to no good. Same for other threats that result in post population explosion, including war, like us the babyboomers.

Of course, they want the west, their military and their wars out. They are already pushed to the east to exclude the west. However China the financial sectors don’t want the radical war groups over there either. More polarization while China moving forward with technology and AI employing their people while the greedy West with planning on buying up the destruction on the cheap and it planning on using it to UN employ the people in the west like penny pinching scavengers instead of economic movers and leaders.
Times of Israel has put out the Iranian answer…can’t link as u have to subscribe……
Iran is demanding:
1) reparations for attacks on it,
2) the lifting of all sanctions,
3) the closure of all US military bases in the Persian Gulf as conditions to end the war with the US and Israel,
4) Iran wants guarantees that the war won’t start up again,
5) a halt to Israel’s strikes on Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.
6) Iran’s demands also reportedly include a new arrangement in the Gulf that will let the Islamic Republic collect tolls from ships that traverse the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil usually travels.
Meanwhile, Iran refuses to negotiate limits to its ballistic missile program, according to the Journal.
The Iranian conditions mentioned in the report do not address the country’s nuclear program.
The newspaper, (WSJ), cites a US official as saying Iran’s demands were ridiculous and unrealistic, and Arab and US officials as saying Iran’s stance makes the possibility of a deal even more remote than before the war.

Since the neocons wanted to get into this war for profit Trump better find away to help its Ally’s with gas cuz I heard Japan is at risk as well as others. It’s also interfering in China trade as they supply everyone something now. They are the ones wanting to negotiate peace despite some of the things they do to their own people, when it comes to war, compared to what? All this is going to accomplish is strengthening Chinas belt and road initiate and pushing away oil rich country’s east away from the west. Not good for the western countries or Israel financially and pulling out of buying our debt that appears what western money revolves around like a game. Meanwhile China is already busy using AI to make things run efficiently and already ahead of everyone else. Miners that supply them are in the right place fortunately.
Your friend the banks have some worries

Banks face an existential threat to fractional reserve banking that pays 4% interest.
While banks keep just 10 cents in the vault and pay 0.1% interest.
Maddog. Mr Copper

Maddog, I’ve noticed that with the ETFs, they don’t reflect the price of the actual stocks well but can drop like a rock fast.
Mr Copper, I hope it does but these Etfs only follow what the buyers of the stocks are doing not own them so not buying the stock. I can see if they follow multi silver or gold stocks but generally if they follow one stock like they have for Msft or Tesla it starts as a fraction of the cost of the actual stock once it moved up on price. I checked on this Hlxx when it opened for trade and it cost more than the actual stock. I guess the good thing is the miners are now getting more attention and exposure in the market now.
What’s the verdict?
After the normal share and silver selling that takes place every open, do we have a chance to hold some gains, or does maddog’s war news piss in the Cheerios?
Probably all depends on oil. Rates are moving back up as well as the dollar.
Funny thing, wars are really easy to start but not so easy to get out of. Doesn’t seem like Iran has had enough just yet.
Iran Rejects US Diplomatic Push, Expands Strikes on Israel, Gulf States

Mkts not really impressed …..
Bounce or something more?
Metals looking pretty strong despite the dollar being flat, rates are down 5 bips though. SM is strong, oil down and threatening to break below $88. Bitcoin up $500 or so.
The pm shares look to explode out of the gates with GDX up 5.5% in premarket. Virtually everything is up 5% or more.
So what is it? Just a bounce or the beginning of a new leg higher? Or, is everything dependent on news coming out of the M.E.?
Seems maddog’s wave counts are on it with the wave 4 up scenario followed by the final wave 5 down?
It is the end of the month, be nice not to have to be subject to that drama. Hopefully, we’ve found the bottom.
