Rafi Farber: PM Premiums at all time high, EU calls for Absolute Soviet style controls

As a forward to one of the aspects to this video, we offer a kind of explanation for one remark Rafi makes in this video about silver.

it is generally believed by advocates of precious metals (PM) as either a currency, a basis for currency, or as a way to protect your wealth from inflation and other bad policy moves by government, that the supply of metals such as gold and silver is much lower than is reflected in the price. In other words, if the actual availability of PMs was reflected in the price, the cost would be a multiple of what it is as the public spot price for the metal, and not just some few percent higher.

The explanation for this most often given, is that people buy and sell mostly paper representations of metal to one degree or another, which makes it subject to the same kinds of manipulations via shorts and other derivatives, that we saw with the Hedge Funds and a certain game company, where the price was deliberately tanked in order to make shorts work for the people who made them. Something which should be criminal, but for some reason isn’t depending on who does the crime.

As I understand it, which is abstract at best, metal prices are manipulated in this way but by more and bigger players in order to keep currency strong, or the belief in the currency strong.

The evidence that this is the case, is what is called “the spread”. This means that if you look at the cost of say, silver based on the spot price and compare it to the cost of buying some and having it physically delivered, the difference is at an all time high.

A few years ago, the average spread between the spot and the cost of items you could have delivered  on most products was around $2.50/Oz and maybe a little less in bulk and maybe a little more if it was an odd product you bought such as silver cartridges or a wolf’s head or something. This would be from a dealer like Silver Gold Bull.

As of the time of writing, to buy a few Silver Maple Leaf 1 Oz. rounds/coins the cost is about USD $27.00 per, depending on method of payment while the listed spot price of silver is about USD $18.80 per Oz.

That makes the premium around USD $8.20 per Oz. Which is crazy high. There could be other explanations for this. Demand for silver products, such as bars and rounds or coins could outstrip demand as opposed to the demand for the actual metal, which might be normal or even lower than usual if industrial use of these metals is falling. In that case buying the raw metal could be an indicator.

On Amazon.com Sterling Silver casting grain is around $34.95 USD. Casting grain means it is just rough, uneven beads of silver, made to be melted and reshaped as a liquid into whatever product or jewellery you want. It is also .925% silver, or “Sterling” silver and not quite the .999 or in the case of the Canadian mint, .9999 fine silver you get in the rounds, bars and coins. (Sterling is better for jewellery as its harder and more durable and contains around .075% copper and or other metals)

RioGrande however, has it at USD $23.68 if you buy 3 Oz or more. And that is for .999 fine. This means the REAL spread on the actual metal even for more or less retail is only around USD $5.70/Oz. This is still crazy high compared to the more normal USD $2.50 or so for actual coins, bars and rounds, but is not the whopping spread it is now and is a better reflection of the actual difference in supply and demand of the metal as opposed to demand for familiar silver products which people are clearly buying in vast amounts for very rational reasons.

All this is an explanation for a remark Rafi makes at the start of this video, that we felt deserved a bit of explanation.

We haven’t even posted one of the videos of Charles and his love and admiration for Islam. Charles is a leading actor in several lines of effort against classical civilization, and all rights written in the Magna Carta. He is the kind of royalty for which, the Magna Carta was actually created.

Something to remember when Scarecrow Joe calls non-leftists “terrorists”

James Formosa speaks on his experiences in the Canadian military as it moved through vaxx mandates

We did an interview with James about his discovery that the higher the rank in the military the higher the acceptance rate for vaccine exemptions. So once you hit Lt. Colonel, it was 100% acceptance for all who didn’t want the gene therapy. You can watch that interview here.

Today I had the chance to do a longer interview with Capt. Formosa (Ret.) on a lot of subjects. That will be available as soon as possible. But for now, here is a talk he gave to a group of people in August on bodily autonomy. It is just shy of 30 minutes.

Rebel News speaks with fired “tenured” prof. for failing to submit to narrative views…

and sticking with facts which disprove narrative views on many issues. Thank you Prof. Frances Widdowson for your bravery in speaking your truth. Rebel story here.

(Personally, I may take issue with her views on socialism Vs. Postmodernism. I suspect they are both strategically about the same, but differ slightly in tactics. Postmodernism attacks beauty, art, sexuality and so on, but still with a purpose to destroy classical norms.)

TEVUS, The Attack on Rushdie as White Supremacy and the FBI against Americans

Rumours have come to me from a good source that the FBI, once a crime fighting, constitutionally protecting force, is now tasked to monitor all conservative social media for threat assessment.

(The irony here is that Qanon is almost certainly an FBI false flag operation. If not FBI, CIA or another of the US alphabet agencies)

At one point, all of us would be OK with that. We all understood the word “threat” in the same way. And none of us wanted a threat from anywhere on ourselves, our governments or our institutions. But at this time, we all know that the left, now in control of nearly everything, redefines things in order to make them effective weapons to advance the revolution. Recent examples include “vaccine”, “recession”, “Insurrection”, and many other critical things that allow the left leaning governments to take drastic action which limits the freedoms and rights of the public in a manner selectively applied, (more accurately, described as dialectic attacks) to advantage the Marxist revolution.

We saw how communist violent revolutionaries threw firebombs at police and police stations and took over parts of American cities and declared them Autonomous Zones and even killed people who were Trump supporters. This was not considered a threat and as far as I know, no consequences to anyone involved in those actions yet. So we already know the word “threat” has been redefined to mean: Anyone who is counter-revolutionary.

This site has maintained for some time now that there is only one real metric at play, which nearly perfectly explains most of what we see day to day in the news.

Any action which advances the Marxist, authoritarian, collectivist, totalitarian whatever other adjectives you wish to use, will be rewarded, not punished if illegal, and spread.

Any action which is counter-revolutionary and preserves the basic tenets of the Constitution, and most importantly of individual rights and freedoms will be undone and the people responsible will be personally destroyed. Until now by extra-legal means such as media attacks, personal attacks by communist groups such as ANTIFA etc. harassment and so on. But now the various agencies which were created to protect you and your rights appear to be tasked against you and them. The easiest example is the investigation of parents who go to school boards and object to Marxist teaching such as critical race theory (or any other aspect of critical theory) as terrorists by the FBI.

Yes. A parent who objects to their children being fully indoctrinated by a public school in Marxist doctrine, or tactics derived from Marxist doctrine such as the idea that kids should be talked into believing they are the sex they are not, and then put on dangerous chemicals to prevent normal development, and then surgery, both of which will sterilize the child before they are even old enough to understand sex and if they want children, they are considered terrorists now.

As posted here at Vlad and in the numerous reports in the Reader’s Links following the attack on Rushdie, every effort is made to detach the attack from Islam.

We did this interview quite some time ago now, about how the Biden admin, (we really need a new name for it. Biden is a scarecrow at best and couldn’t run a sausage stand at a baseball game) redefined white supremacy to include acts of Islamic terror. Meanwhile, they delete the Islamic motive from those same attacks as we see clearly with the attack on Salmon Rushdie. Every attempt is made to make it appear to be a hit by the Islamic Republic of Iran without explaining the reason for the fatwa against Rushdie was he questioned the supremacy of Islam in a book and that cannot stand. Increasingly for all of us. At this point many Western nations now have “hate speech” laws, which contain effectively elements that mirror blasphemy laws but only for Islam.

Marx and the banning of elements in the periodic table

Examining the problem, reaction, solution/thesis, counter thesis, solution, or the dialectic scam of the left.

There certainly seems to be more than one understanding of this phrase. Here is our shot at it. Of course, there are scholars of Hegel/Marx who read this site, and we welcome any corrections or other interpretations of this well known phrase.

Picking Global Warming as an example, we have a completely invented problem which of course can be manipulated in any way needed to end up at the point you want to land on. Primarily, the destruction of the West with its notions of free market economy and individual rights. Since the problem is fake, and created and enforced by “consensus” (See video below) all the reactions from people calling it out as fake must be dealt with using the dialectic attack of hate speech. This was fabricated by a second generation Frankfurt School acolyte, a certain Habermas, in the form of “Discourse Theory”.

For the past many decades, various leftist controlled governments and leftist think tanks, have attempted to use the element of Carbon as a means to control industry and humanity in a highly selective manner. Like slavery as an issue, we must only examine the ‘problem’ of CO2 production in Western and free market nations, more accurately perhaps, in cultures with the concept of individual rights as being sacrosanct. We must not look at slavery in Africa or Islam ever but must focus on the past actions in The USA pretty much exclusively in terms of passing moral judgment. And we must not look at really dirty industrial activity, let alone CO2 production in China or India but must pretend that CO2 produced by any and all means connected to humans in the West as an existential threat to the entire planet.

There should be no need to try and disprove the idea that CO2 is a problem on this site. I do have a dedicated page to the science of it here on Vlad but I don’t maintain it very well as to engage in a debate based on a lie is to lose that debate since only one side seeks to know the truth and the power of the lie is much greater in the short run. At least where the goal is destruction.

One fact though, is that where CO2 is produced, more life happens. Plants grow etc. Plants, and life, are made of carbon. Even on the side of highways, plants tend to thrive from a truly poisonous form of carbon, CO1 or Carbon monoxide. CO2 is actually pumped into greenhouses to help plants hit their optimal growth rate.

But let’s pretend that CO2 production was a problem. Then why are those who wrap themselves in a false flag of environmentalism, so opposed to nuclear power? Its the obvious solution to those who claim that carbon dioxide is an existential threat to the planet. Whatever the issues with nuclear power, it cannot be as bad as that.

And then there is this:

Geothermal

A very worthy deeper dive:

So we have a solution now for food production that is safe, energy efficient and absorbs far more carbon than it produces.

Global Warming is a consensus based thing though. Meaning communists agreed on creating it and presenting it as an existential problem in order to get to the solution they want, which is communism. No real world approach to solving even the non-problem of “global-warming” will be entertained and any attempt to expose it as the fraud it is will be met with charges akin to hate speech. “Climate-denier” for example, makes moral equivalence with a Holocaust denier to one who would deny the ‘existential threat of global warming’. A fairly palpable use of the Hate-Speech tactic.

More recently, in order to destroy farming in the Netherlands and replace these farms with what will almost certainly be beehive brutalist housing for illegal mostly Muslim and African migrants forced on the local population since before 2015, a new element and compound had to be demonized as an existential threat. Nitrogen, which makes up damn near 80% of the total atmosphere, and ammonia.

I won’t even bother to deal with the issue of nitrogen. To think that the tiny amount of nitrogen released on a few dutch farms justify the actions against farmers we see in the Netherlands is even worthy of rebuttal on that basis, means a lack of understanding of the tactic at play. Much like when one knows that nearly all human beings are born either a man or a woman (with the exception of extremely few genetic mutations which end with those individuals as they tend to be sterile) and to pretend these are fungible is, well risible.

So let’s look at the new threat of ammonia.

How could we somehow solve the issue of ammonia in a way that would satisfy those who claim its a problem while maybe at the same time, solving other problems many are concerned about:

The bottom line is:

The problems we are bombarded with, from Covid to vaccine hesitancy. From global warming to cow flatulence. From Nitrogen to ammonia, are all fake problems which, even by engaging about it, causes us to lose. These are not problems at all, and some, to the extent they might be, are selectively enforced against the Western nations and peoples with zero effort to deal with these non-problems in places like China, North Korea, India and other places where the raw production of these gasses and so on are orders of magnitude higher than in the West.

We need to understand that so much of what we engage with on a day to day basis is we, the intellectual descendants of Socrates, being constantly basted with pseudo-reality and false cosmologies in order to destroy Western civilization where it actually lives.

In our own minds.

WEF’s Yuval Harari

I’ve been wondering about this guy for a while. The stuff he says is beyond outrageous. If he means what he says, one can imagine him in the town square with his head and hands in stocks while people throw things at him as a tape of what he says plays in a loop. But most of the clips I have seen have been edited in such a way that its not unfathomable that he actually was trying to warn, rather than advocate about these things.

Having put my uncertainty about him in a previous post, some excellent people sent in links that are less ambiguous about Mr. Great Reset, Yval Noah Harari. Lets give a listen:

His Youtube channel. he is hawking a book. Someone should try offering him Ukrainian digital Schwabs for one. Interesting that famous villains either seem to have three names, like Lee Harvey Oswald, or just one. Like Blofeld, or Hitler. Sometimes two, if they are both the same. Like Sirhan Sirhan, or Boutros Boutros. Here is his website.

Early on in this clip he makes an interesting inversion of reality. He talks about when people are of no use to the economy. One might look at that a couple of ways. In the communist sense, as the founder of the UK communist think tank, The Fabian Society does, where people who “can’t pull their own weight or perhaps a little more” should be “killed with a humane gas.” Don’t believe me, believe George Bernard Shaw.

Another way, or perhaps just another aspect of the same way, could be that he sees real live human beings as being subservient to the fiction which is the economy. In other words, a word we use to describe the hive activity of us all trading goods and services with each other using a medium of exchange, (which we have unfortunately allowed the government to manage) the ‘economy’ is now the real thing. And like a giant statue of Baal, those who cannot service it should be sacrificed to it.

South Park made a really brilliant episode more or less on this. It was inspired by one of the most interesting bits of anti-communist novel writing ever, The Master and Margarita, and made into a 30 minute cartoon called, Margaritaville. Season 13 episode 3. Well worth watching. Especially if you are familiar with The Master and Margarita.

The Master and Margarita can be seen as a 12 part movie on Youtube, each part being about an hour. So, its a hell of a commitment. But its very much worth it. Not that its in any way connected to Mr. Harari. Or maybe it is.

Dr. Andrew Bostom on Blaze TV: Twitter and the new Lysenkoism in the West

Please watch the entire thing. Andrew cuts to the chase at the end. Being permanently suspended from Twitter is certainly a serious thing when all you did was post a peer reviewed paper on the vaxx and male fertility.

Put another way, you are put in information solitary confinement for speaking what is scientific truth in the National Town Square.

By the end of the video, Dr. Bostom starts to talk about the state of science in the US. I would extrapolate that to the entire West. He specificlly cites Lysenko. The Soviet conclusion based reasoning method that destroyed so many lives in so many ways from 1917 to today in communist states.

3Speak appears to be down. Below is the same clip from Bitchute

Its OK to have racist and sexist hiring practices so long as it moves the country leftwards

There is a lot to be infuriated about in this video.

But the main two things for this site are:

The news reader talks about “CIS Gender” as if she buys into the notion that sex is merely an arbitrary designation by a doctor at birth by looking at genitals. Its so obscenely an attack on our taxonomy that you could make the same claim about species and even phylum. A person is born and declared a human being when really they could be a half a pound of squash.

The second thing is how the law only works to move the culture to the left. This person is breaking laws on hiring discrimination wherever he is for absolute certain. But there will be no penalties. If you asked him if he thought it was OK for a similar business to not hire black or gay people, we all know what he would say. The law only operates to enhance the dialectic. To move the culture ever leftwards.
