ferrett Your ‘Surgeon Post
So how were you able to discern this doctor’s genuine abilities? And realistically one wouldn’t expect a great diversion of ability from a group of top specialists.
ferrett @ 18:47 Thanks for finding and offering that article….It answers many of my questions and concerns. As I stated, I hoped I was wrong, and it appears that I was and am.
But if I had not made a fool of myself, as you stated, would this article that you found and posted have been found and presented to prove his SilverBitz rounds are legit?? Just asking! It seems that was meant to be to get it all out there on the table.
And my prayers went instantly to what I call my Higher Power, which is the Holy Spirit, for you and Mrs F for her healing, and that God’s will be done. Only HE knows the purpose of why things happen, and IMO there is always a good reason for it. Peace Bro from SNG!
sng, it took less than sixty seconds to find this:

Why did you waste so much time on your post when the answer to your doubts was there all along? Just as another search for “silver dave counterfeit” yielded the video showing that yes, he is an expert on counterfeit silver. Minimal research will help you not to look like a fool.
Sure, his sales style is annoying to me too. John 7:24 and 1 Samuel 16:7 cover this. However, if he didn’t sell like this, nobody would have heard of him. He’s out there, selling stuff, and a used car salesman he is not. Just because he is flamboyant doesn’t mean that he’s a con man, not an expert or doesn’t have your best interests at heart.
Mrs F. was diagnosed with a brain tumour. TLDR is that we went with a “second hand car salesman” of a surgeon, who promoted himself far in excess of the staid, reserved accepted norms of the ‘profession’. But if he hadn’t done that, appearing on national TV, including two half hour programmes just on him, we would never have heard of Charlie Teo (you don’t call him Doctor, it’s Charlie), the best brain surgeon in the world, here in our own back yard. Because the other surgeons, who knew all about him and despised him, would never refer him to us for a second opinion. And if we mentioned his name it was always, in as professional a manner as they could put on whilst dripping with disdain, “don’t touch him with a bargepole”. So good, in fact, that all the other Aussie surgeons eventually ganged up on him and won’t let him into the hospitals, so now he can only operate abroad.
So don’t judge a book by it’s cover. You, or your loved ones, might die.
This is the long-awaited crash
SM futures getting hammered. Oil up 13+% above $104. Bitcoin and silver down 2%. Gold down $30. Expect all to get worse as the night rolls on.
Longer term gold and silver will shine and will be a saving grace. Gold and silver stocks are toast for a while.
Fever pitch for ground troops, Carolyn Leavitt mentioned a draft on FOX with Maria.
Congratulations to the neocons are in order.
CaptainHook@11:09 March 7…about Silver Dave ….I did not attack him, I called him as I saw him, a used car salesman. Even a war hero has to work at something! ;o)
He presented lots of unnecessary BS to keep you distracted from what he is selling, which I guess is supposed to be his SilverBitz….but never one word about the actual content or purity of a SilverBitz..like is this actually a pure 1/10th ounce silver coin/token that will assay .999 pure silver….or is SilverBitz a patented name made of who knows what with maybe a “silver coating over a steel center”? of who knows what.
To be honest, I agree with almost all that he says about what is coming in our present and future world, and what has happened in the past, but to me that is just a magicians trick, a distraction of knowledge to keep you/me from thinking about the quality or content of his SilverBitz?
And when there appears to be not nearly enough silver in the world to fill existing orders and contracts of manufacturers who require it for their products, Silver Dave is going to be cranking out a million SilverBitz a week once his factory is completed. Where can he find enough silver to do this when others can’t find any?
I was never good at math but my mind is not able to make all that he says add up….and I really hope I’m just paranoid and totally out to lunch…and it would be very easy for him to correct my doubting mind by simply stating the actual content and assay of his SilverBitz. All FWIW and IMO from SNG!

Gold shortages in China
By Alasdair Macleod
GoldMoney, Toronto
Friday, March 6, 2026
ICBC and Agricultural Bank of China have run out of investment gold bars. And silver premiums over London spot are 13%. Comex silver contract is sinking into irrelevance.
Last weekend, the US and Israel attacked Iran and the weekâs news was dominated by another Middle East war. Marketsâ gut reaction was to mark down investment assets and mark up dollars. Consequently, in the confusion gold and silver declined on the week as the dollar rallied. In European trade this morning gold was $5090, down $230 from last Fridayâs close, and silver at $82.70 was down $11 over the same timescale. Turnover on Comex in both contracts remained very low.
Meanwhile, premiums for silver in Shanghai held in the 12%â14% band. Given that silver imported into China bears 13% VAT and the cost of delivering from London or New York adds an extra 2%, this price difference is not enough to trigger an arbitrage. Nonetheless, silver is still being drained from all vaults, Chinaâs included.
The delivery situation on Comex is dire, with the equivalent of only 16,250 silver contracts registered for delivery. Compare this with the 6,466 contracts delivered in the March contract to date. The March contract is still being bought with the obvious intention of standing for delivery, as is the April contract which can be delivered from the last week in March onwards.
Comex silver is the most oversold it has been in over 20 years, with open interest on Wednesday at 112,794 contracts. This means that speculative activity is the lowest itâs ever been, discouraged by shorts not willing to sell any more contracts by widening their spreads. This is reflected in the next chart:
With over nine times paper liabilities compared with deliverable silver which is also rapidly declining, this Comex contract is heading for trouble. Registered for delivery silver is being withdrawn along with eligible. Since the silver crisis in London on 9th October last, 175 million ounces have gone from Comex vaults, presumably to London where lease rates have remained elevated.
To summarise the position, paper silver in all markets is being encashed for physical, despite the fall in prices since 29th January when silver peaked at over $120. And with China being more of a physical delivery market, Comex and London paper contracts are declining into irrelevance.
Meanwhile, gold marches on with demand ranging from central banks to retail buyers and remaining strong despite the volatility. Yesterday, it transpired that two of Chinaâs largest banks, ICBC and the Agricultural Bank have run out of investment bars. Additionally, we can assume that there is strong demand for gold accumulation accounts at all Chinese retail banks with household savings running at an additional annual $5â$6 trillion equivalent and mirroring public demand for investment bars.
As with silver, there is minimal speculative interest in gold, with Comexâs open interest at the lowest levels since the covid pandemic:
It is remarkable that despite gold being in a strong bull market that speculative interest is so low, particularly when most of the major banks expect higher prices by the yearend. For now, hedge funds pair trading would sell paper gold short to buy dollars, which will lead to a short squeeze later.
The logarithmic chart demonstrates the underlying strength of goldâs uptrend despite short-term dollar demand:
As noted above, the marketâs gut reaction to a new war on Iran is to presume that safety is to be found in cash dollars. Accordingly, the US$ trade weighted index has been marked higher against other currencies, shown next:
Most important of all, the blockade of Hormuz is driving energy prices skywards, as the oil chart shows:
Far from Iran rapidly admitting defeat, it is becoming obvious that this conflict will last some time. That being the case, we can expect yet higher oil and LNG prices and investorâs attention turning to the unexpected consequences for inflation later this year. Hopes of lower interest rates are vanishing and beginning to destabilise bond and equity markets, leading to a dash for cash.Â
It is worth recalling the move to higher interest rates and bond yields which followed Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine and sanctions against Russian oil and gas. This is almost certain to happen again with even greater consequences, in which case bond yields will soar again and financial bubbles will be bursting everywhere.
In that event, any attempt to mark down gold and silver will be manna from heaven for stackers. Both metals are already in high demand, particularly in China, which cannot be satisfied.
A word to the wise: if gold and silver are marked down, stack, stack, and stack again!

It Begins: Iranian Drone Strikes Bahrain Desalination Plant As Worst-Case Scenario Unfolds
From data centers in the Gulf area to water desalination plants, the worst-case scenario is now unfolding in the Middle East conflict, with no boundaries regarding civilian infrastructure.
We warned earlier last week, after correctly predicting that data centers would be targeted, that water desalination plants would be next (see the previous update).
Al Jazeera reports that after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi claimed the US targeted a water desalination plant in Iran, an IRGC kamikaze drone then targeted a desalination plant in Bahrain.

The Rediscovery of America’s Constitutional Money Laws: Stablecoins, Silver’s Surging Price, and Trimetallism
By Christopher Guzelian
Associate Professor of Finance and Economics
Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas
Sunday, March 8, 2026
The lesson is that gold as a monetary backstop must be considered in ratio with other thingsâ market valueâincluding âlesserâ precious metals like silver and copper, as the Founders legislated. Perhaps modern economists will return to the Foundersâ wisdom that precious metal moneys carry special intrinsic value. Trimetallismâa new mass issuance of gold, silver, and copper Dollars by the U.S. Mint (or Congressionally deputized private mints) at significantly higher spot prices than presentâmay well do more to rescue Americans from monetary instability than stablecoins backed by the very inflationary instruments that created the problem in the first place.
It’s WaPo but it appears a 3-4 week affair is out of the picture
Pretty tough to defeat a country of 93 million people with just airstrikes. Better hope the Iranians are forming some strong opposition to the regime. Regardless, 3-4 weeks will turn into 3-4 months and probably further. So much for the idea of “bringing our troops home from the region.” Another war for the bankers.
Intel report also poured cold water on idea that Iran’s opposition could quickly fill any power vacuum.
Cap’n 13:15, and where is this private credit held?
According to ZH insurers are on the hook with 35% of their US assets being pvt credit (I can only read the first three lines of the article). I guess that’s not unexpected, after a couple of disasters like the Californian fires they’ll be chasing (apparent/promised) yield as much as anyone. I wonder if that includes health insurers?
I suspect “private credit” is going to be the same as all the AAA CDSs from 2007. No-one knows who or where all the risk is sitting through much rehypothecation, bundling, reselling etc. As Buffet said, we’ll have to wait for the tide to go out. And the tide always goes out before a tsunami …….
Popcorn, please.

Florida’s legislature passes bill making gold and silver legal tender in the state
From News Service of Florida
via WTVJ-TV6, Miami
Friday, March 6, 2026
A bill that enacts prior approval to make gold and silver coins legal tender in Florida is headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
With little comment, the Senate today voted 31-1 on the measure (HB 1311) that puts into state law rules for gold and silver coins that have been adopted by the Department of Financial Services and the Office of Financial Regulation.

If the Fed has to expand the balance sheet to $7-8T, then gold has to go to $15-18K!

Executive Order Now Lets Bankers Empty Their Private Equity Garbage Into the Retirement Accounts of Everyday Americans-The Problem With Blue Owl
Image Credit: vecteezy.com
By Stan Szymanski
Yesterday, Boaz Weinstein of Saba Capital Management, said the weight of the impact of Blue Owl Capital Inc.’s (OWL) private credit funds illiquidity may be an early indicator of vulnerability and weakness in the significant $1.8T market:
âŚââAll you need is the snowball to start going down the hill and it started. Blue Owl is right in the middle of that,â Weinstein said at an industry conference in Miami Beach, Florida, Bloomberg reported. âI think we are in the super-early innings of the wheels coming off the car.â (Seeking Alpha 2/24/26)
Weinsteinsâ comments come after Blue Owl permanently blocked withdrawals from a $1.6 Billion private credit vehicle and sold $1.4B in loans to pension funds. Blue Owl also sold loans to its own insurance company, feeding new worries about risks concerning liquidity in this part of the âalternativesâ market.
People might tend to think that âPrivate Equityâ is just for the wealthy that frequent the Hamptons on vacation. This type of âalternativeâ investment has recently become much more mainstream than most people realize.
Just last year, President Trump signed an executive order opening the door for providers of 401(k) (and IRA) retirement plans to offer private equity investments to this large and lucrative market:
âŚâPrivate asset managers have been tantalized for years about the $29 trillion in Americansâ retirement accounts. Donald Trump just made it easier for them to get a slice.ââŚ(Forbes 8/8/25)
In âPrivate Equity Firms Celebrate Trumpâs Executive Order Giving Them The Keys To Retirementâ Forbes staff writer Hank Tucker points out thatâŚ
That’s our buddy The Donald hard at work.

I don’t think Zelensky is in any position to threaten or extort the other European countries!
Zelensky had been speaking to compatriots about the proposed âŹ90 billion European funding package for Ukraine, and warned that a single EU leader should not block the measure, widely interpreted as meaning Viktor OrbĂĄn.
âWe hope that in the European Union, one person will not block the 90 billion [euros]. Otherwise, we will give this personâs address to the armed forces, to our guys, let them call him and talk to him in their own language,â Zelensky said.

The US attacked Iranâs freshwater desalination plants, on Qeshm Island.
The Deputy Security Governor of Hormozgan said that last night, the Americans committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking one of the freshwater desalination plants on Qeshm Island.
Currently, water supply in 30 villages in the central parts, Hara, and Shahab of Qeshm are facing challenges.

Evidence the COMEX exchange is losing huge amounts of physical gold reserves

There seems to be little coming out of Iran now.
It wouldn’t be logical for them to save up their top weapons for retribution. Every hour they lose missiles in storage and missile launchers; the longer they keep them the more likely that they’ll never use them. The whole war depended on Israeli intelligence as to the locations of everything (and everyone), as the US/Israel already knew their anti-missile capabilities – the big question must have been “how much damage are we likely to sustain before we manage to reduce their capabilities to a few drones”, which equates to “how good is our intelligence”.
