Over the last 24 hours, at least 20 C-17A “Globemaster III” and C-5M “Galaxy” Strategic Heavy-Lift Transports with the U.S. Air Force have arrived at airbases in the Middle East from Europe, most originating from bases in the United States, carrying additional air-defense systems, munitions, support equipment, and personnel, as preparations are in full-swing for the U.S. to potentially join Israel in their ongoing war against Iran.

If the war mongering and Feds economy keeps going the way it’s going they’re going to have a hard time controlling the PMs longer term. And their safe spaces in the world are getting more crowded and or smaller. One in LA already went up in smoke. I wonder how many of them voted for Newscum not caring what a intellectual fraud lacking common sense he is without his puppet masters recorded gibberish run on’s and apparently his puppet masters aren’t so bright either even coming up with the gibberish let alone disaster planning and projects that went no where and incapable of trouble shooting or actions in emergencys. Just low level activist behind the scenes with little though of outcomes except the ones they make up that ends in nowhere, and or disaster, with more of other people’s money down the drain. It’s not just one place around the world their safe place and spaces are getting smaller.

Re Silver shares …gotta have lots of shorts …to panic cover………………….they sure love shorting those things,,,they use any excuse….utter madness.

Bitcoin getting smashed for $2K
Someone on ZH mentioned oil getting “clobbered” but I don’t see that.
The smash on the silver shares is just ridiculous.with silver almost $36. It’s like $33 silver. These shares never cease to amaze.
Is it my imagination
Or has pretty much nothing moved in the last couple hours?
Dollar is down a little more, but seems silver hasn’t budged.
Feels more like the regular obligatory post Fed hit than anything else. People conditioned to stay out for a couple days.
I guess we’ll see next week.

World’s ‘Highest IQ Holder’ Says He Believes “Jesus Christ is God, the Way, the Truth, and the Life”
India
Before I retired we were looking at projects to support 6 new nuclear power plants in India. I know Westinghouse was involved in the early stages.
The war bump is over
Although we did get a whole day in gold, which has evaporated plus some. Silver was a little better, but now plus some to the downside also.
This, despite a weaker dollar. Hard to know if this is post Fed garbage like we usually get, or the start of something worse.
PM shares look weak at this early hour, so expect a slam.
Everything else in the markets are flat, only oil is up a little better than 1/2%.
Another one of those days. PM’s, especially gold, seem well-contained now.
Best buy some uranium …
In a major move to bolster its energy security, India has decided to nearly quadruple its uranium imports by 2033. The decision is part of the National Nuclear Energy Mission, which aims to support the country’s growing fleet of nuclear reactors. From 2025-33, the Indian government plans to import at least 9,000 metric tons of uranium (MTU) in total. READ THE NEWSBYTESAPP.COM ARTICLE HERE! |
If John Lee is right …
… the international banking families et al own over 100 thousand tons of gold (stored in Switzerland) … and this is why they will be able to stop the PM rally in its tracks next year … with only minimal further gains in gold and silver vexing somewhere between $70 and $100 … only to be denied further gains for up to 6 years.
I don’t know about this extreme view … but I was surprised at the PM sector performance since the covid pop … so who knows … once they get CBDC’s installed … don’t kid yourself … you won’t be allowed to buy gold and silver.
You won’t be allowed to travel … or eat what you want … or buy what they don’t want you to buy … like gold and silver. (so why westerners are not completely loading up on PMs right now is testament to their stupidity with silver so cheap)
So, don’t fight it or anything … this should only last 42 months if revelation is right … that’s not long … right?
Ya take it easy – you won’t need that silver to barter with when they ban cash — no really — who needs it.
Oh and be sure to sign up for your CBDC account (stablecoin) right away when they tell you.
They are depending on that like covid.

Well, we know how difficult it is to invade an island.
William the Bastard got lucky, with Harold fighting another William up north. The Spanish failed utterly and disastrously. The French never tried. Adolph didn’t either.
Xi doesn’t have a battle experienced army. OK, neither does Taiwan, but the standard ratio for a battle is that the attackers need three to four times the number on the field. Just because you’ve got twenty times your opponents force doesn’t matter, they have to have room to fight.
Ferret
Re Taiwan….i have read invading it from the sea would be a nightmare, it is surrounded by small islands all made of granite, ie near bomb proof, but perfect for gun/missile emplacements, to take out the invading forces….then when you get to the island itself, there are no nice beaches to walk up, you get 200 metre hi rock cliffs, with thick jungle on the top……
On that basis you either can try and starve them out, medieval style , or nuke the place and basically write it off the face of the earth…..
So no easy choices and if yr right about Xi’s power being weakened, does he want to tell hundreds of thousands of families their son is dead…..or face the World, having destroyed the island….
