  1. It was necessary to suppress market signals vis–á-vis inflation after closing the gold window in 1971. This was done by creating the gold futures (paper) market. To hide the real rate of inflation was to withhold from the public, essentially, its deteriorating capacity to save its labour (savings) in reliable money. If the public knew it was sqandering its daily toil (energy) it would have revolted.

    Shortly thereafter Red China was gifted with the uneven playing field of a business model that enabled it to achieve great gains by exploiting its own slave labour at the expense of the West.

    Knowing that government bonds (USD) competed with gold galvanized central bank resolve to marginalize gold. In the late ’70s debt to GDP was around 150%. It now runs over 300%. Know that when gold made its historic, exponential rise to 1980 multiples it was at that debt level, so even greater dramatic moves now become likely.

    Reliable news of economic and social problems in Red China struggle to gain a credible foothold in our media-disabled West. We cannot trust anything we hear without laborious triangulation.

    However, it is becoming evident that the smartest men in President Trump’s room are, indeed, effective. This video sent to me is not credible without a modicum of triangulation:

    With supporting references, however, its veracity becomes probable. Red China is struggling under tariffs. Its exports to the U.S. (at least 17% of exports?) has gone off a cliff. Meanwhile the U.S. struggles with end-game Keynesianism (debt-based currency equaling socialism). These players’ symbiotic struggle plays out in real money, which explains gold’s volatility. The London price-rigging system will blow up, a sovereign debt crisis is coming–in short we are at economic war.

    The good news for Red China is that it likely has over 20,000 tons of gold to America’s (maybe) 8,100 tons.

    The bad news for Red China is that it is run by murderous commie bastards who should rot in Hell, and its regime now faces its own people for accountability.

    The bad news for all of us is look for this dangerous situation to compel the CCP to find a kinetic war to distract and engage its angry young men.

    PT’s intentional campaign to create chaos is creating world-trading blocks. How we deal with this in the future is unknown. The question is, will the globalists be able to unite these blocks, or will sovereign countries prevail? Is PT unwittingly serving the globalist cause? Personally, I choose to believe he, along with his smartest men, know what they are doing.

    • Former Hostage Reprimands Pulitzer Prize Board for Award to Palestinian “Poet”

      Dear Members of the Pulitzer Prize board,
      My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days. On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

      For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me — because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

      So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha. This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?”

      He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage…

    In a Wednesday airing of “The Five,” host Judge Jeanine Pirro explodes on Joe Biden. According to the host, Biden’s measly Hawaiian wildfire checks and his “egocentric” self gave off a “lack of empathy.”
    Judge Jeanine Pirro

    President Trump on Thursday announced Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim US Attorney for DC.

    Trump wrote on Truth Social:

    “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions.

    During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation.

    She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”

    President Trump pulled Ed Martin’s nomination for DC US Attorney on Thursday after Senator Tillis derailed his confirmation.

    On Tuesday RINO Senator Thom Tillis, who voted to confirm Biden’s radical pick for Attorney General Merrick Garland, told reporters that he opposes the nomination of Ed Martin for DC US Attorney for political reasons.

    “I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th, and that’s probably where most of the friction was,” Tillis said.

    “If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a US Attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him, but not in this district,” Tillis said in a shocking admission to CNN’s Manu Raju.

    Tillis gloated after he realized he got a scalp on Wednesday evening.

    “People don’t believe me when I say I think I have a good relationship with President Trump but I still think I have a good relationship with President Trump. I’m trying to watch his back,” Tillis said to CNN reporter Manu Raju on Wednesday evening.

    • Trump is talking all of the real good people on FOX.

      OT: Jill and Joe Biden are busy knifing the Dems in the back, Jill is pissed that she didn’t get another 4 years of string pulling to run the US. I hope they keep this up because it will guarantee that MAGA will continue to run the US after the 28 elections.

  7. Breanna Morello: Biden Admin Sent DHS, HSI Fake Addresses for 300,000 Missing Migrant Children (VIDEO)

    Investigative reporter Breanna Morello joined Natalie Winters on The War Room on Thursday to discuss her latest explosive investigation at Independent News Room.
    Breanna told the War Room crowd that her sources in HSI told her that only around 5% of the 300,000 lost children who crossed the border during the Biden years have been found.

    Breanna says Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), gave fake addresses for the 300,000 missing children.

    And now the Trump administration is working diligently to find these missing and trafficked children.

    Breanna Morello: It is staggering. As you know, and your audience is well aware of, Joe Biden lost over 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children. Now it’s up to the Trump administration to find those kids. Sadly, they’re really struggling with doing just that. HSI, according to my source, has only been able to locate about 5% of the 100,000 kids that they’ve been looking for. Now, I reached out to DHS on this and to see if they had any matching statistics, and they did confirm it, telling me that they were able to reconnect about 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children to a Guardian so far.

    So again, that’s just 5%. Now, if you’re wondering why that is, well, unfortunately, the Biden administration didn’t seem to care when it came to verifying who they were handing these children off to. We know that. We’ve heard this before. Whistleblowers came forward to report that. But sadly, nobody really did much about it.

    As you just mentioned, we have many RINOs in the Senate, and they look the other way on this issue. What DHS and HSI are dealing with right now is that they’ve been given fraudulent addresses regarding where those children were going to be sent.

    When they did some digging and tried to check up on these kids, well, in a lot of cases, these addresses didn’t even exist. There’s no houses there. It was something simple that the Biden administration could have looked into, but they decided not to. Now, I’m also told by my sources that a lot of these sponsors were poorly vetted by the Biden regime. But it’s really not surprising, Natalie. I mean, you and I have spoken about it. We knew what was happening for a very long time right now, and that was the Biden administration was participating in one of the biggest human trafficking scandals. It’s going to be a black-eye in American history, and it’s very, very unfortunate, of course. But again, none of these people are going to be held accountable.

    This sounds like one of the greatest government crimes in US history.

    Biden and Democrats trafficked hundreds of thousands of children across the US. You really can’t describe the level of wickedness in the former regime.

  8. Israeli Military Expert Concerned US Could be ‘Fooled’ During Iran Nuclear Talks

    JERUSALEM, Israel – Retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi seems to be cautiously optimistic about Israel’s strategy in its multi-front defensive war. For him, however, the most important player to watch is Iran, and whether the U.S. and Israel will be able to ensure that its nuclear capabilities are not a threat.

    The founder and chairman of Israel’s Defense and Security Forum (ISDF), Avivi told CBN News, “I don’t trust the Iranians.” He said it would be amazing if the Trump administration could find a way to get Iran to dismantle its nuclear facilities diplomatically.

    Yet, he admitted, “I think that there will be a moment where President Trump will understand that he’s being fooled by the Iranians.” He added, “He has one chance to do the right thing, to be a Churchill, not a Chamberlain.”
