Here’s Tulsi’s video statement to the media. Probably the most damning statement of a government effort to subvert the will of the people that I’ve ever heard. The penalty for treason used to be death. If these people aren’t imprisoned, this country won’t survive.
It’s depressing that enough people are so deficient in synapses that they think she is capable of representing them. So disconnected from reality.
We stayed a few nights with some farmer friends just after the last election. They are frustrated by the city slickers all voting left. All lefty constituencies, Labor, Green, Teal (our equivalent of a RINO) are in the cities. Outside the cities are all blue, which reminds me, why is your right wing party using communist red? Every other country is blue=right, red=left. Anyway, the people who matter, the ones who produce stuff, even the miners and farm workers, vote for common sense candidates. And the righty leader is gutless, walking back on nuclear power to make sure she doesn’t lose what remaining city seats she has.
Fortunately for you, you don’t have a democracy. We can’t elect a Trump outside the uniparty system, we have to wait a long time for it to collapse.
Before it split up into Serbia etc. still very communist. We called in at a town to get food. No bread, that only comes Tuesdays and Fridays. Went to the supermarket (it was not a village, but a small town) and the only things on the shelves were butter and tampons. The country was desperate for foreign currency, and the girls went off to the duty free store to get some Martini – they came back with three bottles. Why? because it was three bottles for one pound, and they didn’t give change. It was probably three pounds for one bottle in Britain back then.
“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” the statement read.
“But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
They have increased Comex Gold Open Interest (OI) by over 50k contracts the past two days.
The international bankers have declared war on gold … because they are sending a quarter million troops to Ukraine soon … as early as next week according to Martin Armstrong … at which point WWIII effectively starts.
These guys are nuts.
Get your gold and silver before it’s too late (I would have bought long ago) … and get right with Jesus … that’s for sure.
to get us back below $3400. Oddly enough, it hasn’t crushed the shares too much, and it happened with the dollar coming back down to flat. Silver still hanging tough too.
There is no credible evidence that Japan’s #1 gold dealer (commonly recognized as Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo, headquartered in Ginza) has instituted a policy restricting physical gold sales in favor of cash settlement.
Retail gold prices have recently surged (reaching record levels around ¥16,885 / g in mid‑June 2025), but Tanaka still offers physical bar sales at its Ginza store and via online delivery, with no reported shift to cash-only settlementsousei.co.jpState Street Global Advisors.
There is no official announcement or credible reporting that Tanaka (or any other major Japanese bullion dealer) has restricted physical gold delivery, halted bar sales, or forced cash settlements.
While some smaller Japanese dealers (e.g. Ishifuku) have previously imposed temporary purchase restrictions during periods of high demand—such as limiting quantities per person or requesting cash transfer payments—for silver bullion specifically, not gold—and not as a permanent policy—it was tied to temporary stock shortages, not company‑wide strategy changes in gold delivery policyReddit.
🧠 Community chatter vs. reality:
Online forums and speculation have noted delivery delays or shortages in Western physical bullion markets (e.g. London, COMEX), often tied to shifting regulations (e.g. Basel III requirements) or logistical bottlenecksReddit+2Reddit+2Reddit+2.
However, none of these external issues apply to Tanaka’s operations in Japan. There is no evidence these supply chain pressures have translated into an official pivot to cash settlement at the retail level.

No official or reputable reporting supports this. Tanaka continues normal physical operations.
There’s no credible evidence that China is forcing citizens to convert their life savings to the digital yuan—or losing access to their money otherwise. Most claims like “convert now or lose it all” stem from sensationalist videos (e.g. on YouTube by channels like Buildr)YouTube+5YouTube+5YouTube+5, but they lack support from reputable sources.
Here’s what we do know:
🧾 What the official rollout really looks like
The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) introduced e‑CNY to partially replace cash—not bank deposits—and participation is optional, not mandatoryWIRED+2Wikipedia+2#SixthTone+2.
Users choose their level of wallet via KYC (anonymous to fully verified), with clear transaction and balance limits. It’s not a wholesale conversion of savingsWikipedia.
🔍 Any sign of coercion or forced conversion?
Critics mention restrictions on large cash withdrawals and greater promotion of e‑CNYYouTube+9chinacenter.net+9#SixthTone+9, but requiring permits to withdraw doesn’t equate to forced conversion—it’s part of ongoing capital control measures.
No state has enacted laws or policies to seize private bank deposits unless withdrawing into the digital currency.

Germany Agrees To Deliver 5 More Patriots To Ukraine, Which Will Take US Years To Replace
In a major breakthrough and short-term diplomatic ‘win’ for the Zelensky government, Germany and the United States have agreed to supply Ukraine with five more Patriot air defense systems, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced on Monday.
Living Near a Golf Course Puts Your Brain Health at Risk
Story at-a-glance
Residents within a mile of golf courses have 126% higher chance of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to those living farther away
Golf course chemicals infiltrate groundwater supplies and drift through the air, creating multiple exposure pathways for nearby residents
Stricter pesticide regulations in Europe result in dramatically lower chemical hazard scores compared to American golf courses, especially in southern states
Dense residential areas near golf courses lack natural barriers, concentrating airborne pesticides and increasing your vulnerability to chemical exposure
Regular exercise helps eliminate accumulated pesticides, while water filtration and air purifiers reduce ongoing chemical exposure at home
The Digital Yuan is no longer optional. Every citizen in China now faces the same ultimatum: Convert your life savings, or lose access entirely. Bank accounts are freezing, and cash is being locked out of the system. All financial roads now lead through Beijing’s central digital wallet. And the deadline is ticking down fast.
Why is the Chinese government forcing 1.4 billion people into a currency they cannot control? What happens to those who refuse or simply miss the deadline? And could this be a glimpse into the future for the rest of the world? It all begins with a simple push notification, one that turns into a national reckoning.
