Donroe Doctrine: US Seizes Russian-Flagged Tanker In Atlantic, Intercepts Dark-Fleet Ship In Caribbean

by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Jan 07, 2026 – 10:14 AM

Update (1014ET):

Donroe Doctrine” to clean up the Western Hemisphere was busy Wednesday morning, with the seizure of the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1) in the North Atlantic, followed by U.S. forces seizing a stateless dark-fleet tanker in the Caribbean region.

The seizure of Marinera is the headliner this morning, given that Russian warships and a submarine are nearby, raising the risk that the situation could spiral out of control after Moscow warned the Trump administration in recent days to back off the tanker.

THE 12:1 DOW-TO-GOLD LINE OF DEATH: Why The Most Important Chart in the World is Now Flashing a Code Red!

The financial media is in a state of euphoria. Champagne corks are popping on Wall Street as the Dow Jones Industrial Average sails past 49,000 for the first time in history.


Our 401(k) statement looks fantastic. The “wealth effect” is in full swing, encouraging us all to spend, spend, spend. But this is a dangerous illusion, a grand deception designed to mask a terrifying truth: we are not getting richer; the money in our pocket is becoming worth less. Much less!


This is the financial matrix, a carefully constructed reality designed by the central banking and political elite to keep us docile, compliant, and perpetually running on their fiat currency treadmill.

They want us to celebrate the meaningless numbers on a screen, to feel the temporary thrill of a rising 401(k), because as long as we are focused on the illusion, we won’t notice them systematically stealing our purchasing power through inflation.

They are magicians, and the stock market is their grand act of misdirection. While we watch the spectacle of nominal new highs, they are picking our pockets in slow motion. That’s why so few of us feel like their retirement savings are on track, despite the market’s being at all-time highs. Weird right?!

Evidence Continues to Pile Up: Americans Aren't On Track for Retirement

But what if there was a way to pull back the curtain? What if there was a single chart, a single ratio, so powerful and so honest that it could shatter the entire illusion in an instant?


There is. It is the Dow-to-Gold ratio, the ultimate truth-teller in a world of financial lies. It is the red pill. And right now, it is not just suggesting that something is wrong; it is screaming that a system-wide failure is on the near horizon, and possibly it is imminent.


The most important chart in the world is flashing a code-red warning, a signal that has preceded every major economic crisis of the last 100 years. It is screaming that the party is coming near an end. That the piper is pulling up to the house. And he will be demanding to be paid in gold.

While the media distracts us with nominal new highs, they ignore the most honest measure of value on the planet: gold. With gold closing above $4,490 an ounce, yesterday’s celebrated Dow 49,000+ is worth just 11 ounces of gold.

In September 1999, the Dow was worth over 43 ounces of gold. That is a staggering 74% decline in real terms over the last 26 years. Yet many believe in the rise as if it were the second coming, despite the plunge in its purchasing power. We have all been running on a treadmill, sweating and straining, only to find ourselves moving backward. That is the reality.

The Dow-to-Gold ratio, the ultimate truth teller, is screaming that the stock market is not in a bull market; it is in or near the final, manic phase of a historic bubble.


The chart is flashing a code-red warning, signaling that we are on a collision course for a crisis of the same magnitude as 1929, 1973, and 2008 unless our leaders dramatically change course; and there is no indication they will.


Let’s Dig Into The Following:

  1. The Dow-to-Gold ratio is a simple, yet profoundly powerful calculation: the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average divided by the price of one ounce of gold. It tells you how many ounces of gold it takes to “buy the Dow.” Why this ratio cuts through the noise of inflation and currency debasement!
  2. There is a clear line in the sand that emerges at the 12:1 level. Whenever the Dow-to-Gold ratio has broken below this critical support line, a major economic crisis has followed. Why this is not a coincidence; it is a pattern, a historical echo that warns of impending doom for paper assets today!
  3. The fall in the ratio to 12:1 is just the beginning. The ultimate destination for the Dow-to-Gold ratio in a true monetary crisis is closer to 1:1 parity. Why the truth is that the forces of debt, deficit, and de-dollarization are too powerful to be stopped by conventional means!
  4. What does a 1:1 Dow-to-Gold ratio actually look and feel like? This is not a hypothetical question. We have seen this movie before, and it does not have a happy ending for those who are unprepared or “didn’t see this coming.” Why this is the world that the Dow-to-Gold ratio is telling us is coming for us. This is why we all must prepare now, while we still can!
  5. So why isn’t this front-page news? Why is the media celebrating the illusion of Dow 49,000 while ignoring the reality of the declining Dow-to-Gold ratio? The answer lies in a symbiotic relationship between Wall Street and Washington. Why the media does the heavy lifting for the government by hyping up the market and not gold!
  6. And the Dow-to-Gold ratio is the most important chart in the world right now because it is the ultimate truth teller. It is immune to the media’s hype and the government’s propaganda. What the truth teller is screaming at us right now!

I’m not in favor of annexing Greenland without a vote of the populace but leaving all our bases in Europe sounds like a great idea.

If the US annexes Greenland we must confiscate all US bases in Europe, says Austria’s NATO enlargement committee chairman Fehlinger.

Can’t go broke taking a profit. Who knows, maybe you sold the top.

I guess the volatility is with us to stay for a while. Pretty violent moves the last couple of weeks.

I wonder if this will just encourage more folks to take delivery on the Crimex, hastening their demise?

 

Really effing stupid!

I guess yesterday was the right day to exchange 100 ounce bar for some worthless fiat After all… I guess that’s why you don’t always follow your feelings because I felt like I was making a big mistake, but I needed the money… lol

ADP, ISM reports today. Jobs report Friday

Posted by Buygold @ 8:15 on January 7, 2026  

although it doesn’t seem the eco reports have much sway over the pm market these days.

The Fed is going to cut again and keep cutting once Powell is gone.

Doesn’t seem as though there’s much in the way of the metals these days. Although I’m pretty sure the scum isn’t going to just roll over.

I’d like to see these shares – especially the silver shares finish the day flat even with silver down a couple bucks. They are so far behind the metals. It’s a dream, I know.

Shanghai dropped the pm fix to $86.16

Posted by Buygold @ 5:23 on January 7, 2026  

about 90 cents.

Naturally spot here is pushing the envelope and down $1.84 at the moment. I guess that’s the LBMA price?

PM shares not doing too bad yet, tracking silver, most are down 1-2%.

Yesterday Crimex paper silver settled about $6 below Shanghai. Today it’s closer to $7. I wonder how close the Crimex thinks they need to keep that gap between the two prices without triggering massive delivery notices?

We’ll see about the pm fix later. Higher or lower? The west is praying it’s lower.

will be really interesting to see the am fix on Shanghai – yesterday’s pm fix was $87.08!

I don’t think the Crimex and LBMA will be able to continue with a $6 deficit vs. the physical market in Shanghai. Something’s gotta give.

SILVER !!

On the other hand there’s beaucoop fanatics from the IRGC and paramilitary groups who have a lot to lose. They haven’t been shy about killing demonstrators in the past.

Yeah beating hospital workers for protecting the shot and injured protestors. What is their excuse, just doing their job?

The MSM are such arseholes…..but when Trump goes to Iran, he will be a hero……along with Bibi.

Would be awesome if Iran turned

Posted by Buygold @ 15:43 on January 6, 2026  

Media won’t report because Trump might get credit?

First time in a while it looks like buying or short covering is coming into the close in the shares.

Good stuff.

Yr wonderfull President has made things very diffrent, by telling them not to shoot people…what they are doing is raiding hospitals to find injured people , who have obviously rioting and taking them away…to …..well…..

According to Tousa tv the people are in control of Tehran already !!!!!

I remember when the Shah fell. The last nail in his coffin was when the army and security forces refused to fire into the crowds. I think he made a beeline to the airport after that. Maybe somewhat different situation now.

Give Them Hell Hecla re HL
