Silver had an even stronger month than gold, soaring 16% in September and inching toward historic highs. According to Jensen, this isn’t just speculative frenzy—it’s the inevitable result of years of global deficits and a shrinking pool of accessible physical supply. “We’ve got three years of 800 million to a billion ounce deficits,” Jensen pointed out, “and before that it extended for a couple more years.” Despite these deficits, the vault stock in London hasn’t budged, staying flat at around 140 million ounces since May. “The conclusion I’ve come to is that’s not available to market… that’s held by private owners,” he asserted.
Even ETFs like SLV are failing to reflect the real pressure in the system. Jensen suggests that the physical silver supposedly backing these ETFs is likely unavailable or being illegally rehypothecated. “The ETF holdings in London have barely gone up at all,” he noted, despite the explosive price action. As for the free float? Jensen claims it’s virtually nonexistent: “The amount of silver bars in the 1000 ounce format… that are truly available to market right now are measured in the tens of millions of ounces.”
With such tight availability, the physical silver market is entering crisis territory, evidenced by backwardation, surging lease rates, and static vault numbers.
Silver is overbought and just about nobody believes the cabal will allow silver to go above $50 for very long.
So the right strategy is undoubtedly staying the course if you are in it to win long-term because sentiment in the retail trade is lousy – and volatility can work both ways with precious metals under such circumstances.
For this reason – surprises will be to the upside.
There is a marked shortages of applicants to go drug running, in a speed boat…something to do with the life expectancy after setting sail, being around 20 mins at best.
What else is in that bill the Democrats want to do with our money besides free healthcare for illegals? He mentions some if it and is it going back into our country to help the poor? Nope! It’s going out of the country to things like 3.6 million for Pastry classes and gay male dancers in Haiti we didn’t vote for.
It used to be even worse when women began entering the work force. During WW11 it was okay for awhile but soon as it was over they were expected to quit. If something happened to their child it was their fault because they were working and supporting their own children. That was a threat to them even if working in woman dominated fields not threatening jobs of males.
It hasn’t got much better since only maybe stoped blaming the wrong person still not doing much about it where even schools feel empowered to ruin A child’s life.
Why the restraint? I’ll tell you why. One the two tier system, two if they don’t remain in control they will be accused of being violent and lose their child because of these low lives unless their luckily enough to get them to act first or caught in a act and can claim self defense.
I am amazed at the restraint which has been exhibited by so many of the aggrieved parents. Faced with unimaginable horrors against their children.
How do the people who allow it live with themselves? They have no honor whatsoever. No conscience. Sick human beings.
It’s incomprehensible.
God help us all.
Large number of unbelievable occurrences happening everyday.
Like the father who addresses the courts of the minority man who killed his daughter after being released from jail with 29 felonies broke into his daughters place pulled her out of her bed naked telling her to put her hands in the air only 5 foot 3, 115 lbs beging for her life, did not know him and bam he shot her.
These so called doctors giving puberty blockers to children and performing surgery on them. Why do they still have a licence?!
Like this father and the school system. How they went behind his back and changed his daughters gender identity without his knowledge but worse, if he does not go a long with it they’ll erase him from her life forever.
“This sounds impossible but I guess anything is possible in America!”
Oh, so, nothing this bad has ever happened in your country or in any other country. Congratulations.
Granted, this is another one that is unbelievable. But there are a large number of unbelievable occurrences all around the world reported every day. Including things that have gone on for decades or centuries. All finally being exposed to the masses.
I’ve been waiting so long for what is happening there were times I began to doubt if this time would ever come. It’s been exhilarating – to know I haven’t been wrong and crazy for 50 years. Almost everyone else has
DHS Releases New Information on Extensive Criminal History of Illegal Alien Ian Roberts who was Working as Iowa School Superintendent

WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new information on criminal illegal alien Ian Andre Roberts, who was serving as Des Moines, Iowa’s school superintendent at the time of his Sept. 26 arrest.

When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials approached Roberts, he identified himself then sped off, abandoned his vehicle, and hid in a brushy area about 200 meters away, where ICE officers located him with help from Iowa State Patrol officers. At the time of arrest, a loaded handgun, hunting knife and $3,000 cash were found in his vehicle. On Oct. 2, he was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
Roberts’ rap sheet and immigration history reveal a long record of criminal conduct in the United States. He should never have been serving in a role overseeing children in Iowa’s largest school district.
“Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien with multiple weapons charges and a drug trafficking charge, should have never been able to work around children,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “When ICE officers arrested this Superintendent, he was in possession of an illegal handgun, a hunting knife, and nearly $3,000 in cash. This criminal illegal alien is now in U.S. Marshals custody and facing charges for being an illegal alien in possession of a firearms. Under Secretary Noem, ICE will continue to arrest the worst of the worst and put the safety of America’s children FIRST.”
His criminal record includes the following:

Nov. 1, 2012: A conviction for reckless driving, unsafe operation and speeding in Maryland.
Feb. 3, 2020: Charges for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and fourth-degree weapon charges. A document from Feb. 4, 2020, indicates that the second-degree criminal possession charge was inchoate.
Jan. 20, 2022: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania convicted Roberts of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.
Sept. 26, 2025: Roberts was arrested with a Glock 9mm pistol and a fixed-blade hunting knife in his possession. He also had $3,000 in cash.
Oct. 2, 2025: Roberts criminally charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.

Reminds me of a short video about the past communist Russia and Christians back then although seems to have changed now.
I remember a elder patient talking about that once. Something on news about the Holocaust. She said she was so tired about hearing about just them all the time. How the Christians suffered and were being murdered no one heard about. Her brother was beaten and shot left for dead but survived. How they were being hunted and persecuted.
What reminded me of that was a short video I ran into I should have saved. He spoke about a Russian who said the Christians were the hardest to manipulate. Having to do with getting the people to follow a narrative. They had to put them in gulags. In short they put God before man made schemes. They weren’t so easy to fool.
Coincidence of woke statements years back? Dutch Bros appeared az fierce competition has no inside store serving on the go orders. So looks like Starbucks is going to focus on the indoor experience what ever that means during these not to cheery political division times.
Starbucks announced the closure of hundreds of underperforming North American locations as part of a broader restructuring plan to improve the in-store experience and address six straight quarters of sales declines. Approximately 450 stores are slated to close by the end of the fiscal year, a figure representing about 1% of the company’s North American stores, with 900 corporate jobs also being eliminated. The closures are the result of the company’s “Back to Starbucks” initiative, led by CEO Brian Niccol, with many of the affected stores located in city centers and commercial corridors.
