    Although the supply of thick Venezuelan oil had been reduced to a trickle, Trump’s actions may cause even less to flow while the country stabilizes. This could increase oil prices.
    It all depends how quickly the country gets its act back together.

      Definitely about oil… Drug story is BS cover… Liberating the Venezuelan people is another cover story – for gullible people who think US cares about human rights… The neocon plan appears to be to control enough of world oil supply, Iran + Venezuela, that US can cut off China’s access to sufficient oil… And when China reacts to US cutting off their access to oil, the neocons will call China the aggressor.

    Comment about…………ASIAN GUY…………

    The Curious Case of Asian Guy: Unravelling the AI Voice Behind Silver’s Extraordinary Rally
    Something feels amiss in the relentless flood of calm, bullish videos – could anonymous forces, perhaps even the banks themselves, be quietly co-opting the silver squeeze?
    Jan 5

    The kettle has gone cold now, but the second mug of coffee is still doing its quiet work, keeping the edges sharp while the sky outside shifts from ink to charcoal. I find myself staring at the screen again, at that familiar bespectacled face delivering another measured monologue about silver inventories, Chinese premiums, and the quiet desperation of certain large institutions. Asian Guy, as everyone calls him, never raises his voice, never stumbles, never seems to need another take. And that, I realise with a slow sip, is precisely what feels amiss.

    There is something not quite right about the whole affair. Not wrong, exactly, much of what he says holds water. The industrial demand is real, the mine output really is faltering, the eastward flow of physical metal really does appear relentless. Yet the sheer volume of it, the flawless timing, the identical calm across dozens of channels, all of it arriving in a sudden flood just as silver began its improbable climb, it nags at me like an itch I cannot reach.

    I cannot put my finger on it entirely, but it feels as though the silver squeeze, that long dreamed-of reckoning with the paper markets, is being gently co-opted. What began as a grassroots suspicion among ordinary buyers, a quiet rebellion against decades of apparent suppression, has been wrapped in this polished, tireless presentation. The message is amplified brilliantly, reaching corners it might never have touched otherwise, yet in the process it acquires a sheen of orchestration. Anonymous entities, whoever they are, have seized the narrative and are steering it with uncanny precision.

    The theories swirl like steam from the mug. Some whisper of Eastern influence, a subtle campaign to highlight Western vulnerabilities while encouraging more ounces to vanish into Shanghai vaults. Others point to enthusiastic entrepreneurs, perhaps a small team fluent in both metals and algorithms, simply riding the wave for views and revenue. But then there are the odder rumours, the ones that surface in quieter forums and late-night threads: that a major Western bank itself might be involved. JP Morgan, of all names, the very institution most often accused of holding the price down for years, quietly flipping its stance and now, according to some, using this digital mouthpiece to manage expectations, to draw in fresh buyers while protecting its own vast holdings.

    It sounds absurd on the surface, like a plot from a fever dream. Yet stranger turns have happened in markets. If a bank once fined for manipulating precious metals prices had indeed spent years accumulating physical stock while maintaining paper shorts, what better way to ease into the next phase than through an anonymous, unflappable avatar? Pump enthusiasm carefully, stoke demand without panic, keep the price rising on your terms. The videos do, after all, emphasise certain data points while gliding past others, London quirks, for instance, or the full complexity of eligible versus registered inventories that might muddy the bullish story.

    I set the mug down and watch another clip load. The voice is soothing, the charts crisp, the conclusions inevitable: silver upward, banks cornered, physical triumphant. And yet the unease lingers. Whoever is behind the curtain- lone evangelist, content farm, state actor, or something more sophisticated, the effect is the same.

    A movement that felt organic, born of frustration and painstaking research in obscure corners of the internet, now carries the faint imprint of larger hands. The squeeze is real, the shortages are real, but the telling of it has been streamlined, multiplied, and distributed with an efficiency that no single passionate stacker could achieve alone.

    Outside, the first proper light of dawn creeps in, turning the rooftops pale gold. The markets will stir soon, prices will flicker, and somewhere another video will appear, calm and certain as ever. I cannot shake the sense that we are witnessing not just a metals rally, but a masterful redirection of attention. The fundamentals remain compelling, perhaps more than ever, but the story around them has acquired new authors, silent and unseen.

    Whether their motives are benign, commercial, or calculated, the result is a silver narrative no longer entirely our own. And in a market built on trust in scarce physical metal over endless paper promises, that subtle loss of authorship feels like the most unsettling development of all.

    Precious metals about doubled last year.
    .
    We are now in a NEW YEAR.
    .
    Various investment/retire funds HAVE TO STICK to a FORMULA for percentage of various assets.
    .
    Often these funds ONLY REBALANCE in a new year.
    .
    Rebalancing WILL have a negative influence on precious metal prices.

          It looks to me that silver is headed to $123-125 where it will stutter before it goes to $140.
          .
          At $140 it could have a significant drop back before heading on upwards.
          .
          It will NEVER stop increasing, because of its monetary role and the fact that governments will always be increasing the money supply.

        I have listened to Austen Fitts comments over the years.
        .
        She is partly correct:
        Much money has been stolen/mis-applied.
        But much money is spent correctly, but secretly (unreported)
        Should the world be told what is being spent on highly secret defense research ?
        Should any “enemy” know what is being spent to undermine their economy ?
        totally open democracies simply don’t work.
        Is the open knowledge/secret barrier correctly placed ? Probably not, but it is what it is.
        I am not intelligent enough to know a better system.
        It is better than complete secrecy/dictatorship, but, alas, contains/allows corruption and theft.
        .
        It appears that tax money is properly spent and accounted for; while secret/corrupt spending is maintained as debt ……… never intended to be repaid.
        (Unfortunately the carry cost of debt is getting large and potentially lethal for the economy.)

            The reason the U.S. will acquire Greenland (probably by purchase) eventually is the presence of rare earth elements there.
            (Combinesd of course, with its need to maintain its largest anti-Russia/Asia missile base, which is located in Greenland.

    ANOTHER TOPIC TO COVER…….

    Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Withdraws the United States from International Organizations that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States
    The White House
    January 7, 2026

    WITHDRAWING FROM INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests.

    The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.
    This follows a review ordered earlier this year of all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties that the United States is a member of or party to, or that the United States funds or supports.
    These withdrawals will end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities, or that address important issues inefficiently or ineffectively such that U.S. taxpayer dollars are best allocated in other ways to support the relevant missions.
    RESTORING AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: President Trump is ending U.S. participation in international organizations that undermine America’s independence and waste taxpayer dollars on ineffective or hostile agendas.

    Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.
    American taxpayers have spent billions on these organizations with little return, while they often criticize U.S. policies, advance agendas contrary to our values, or waste taxpayer dollars by purporting to address important issues but not achieving any real results.
    By exiting these entities, President Trump is saving taxpayer money and refocusing resources on America First priorities.
    PUTTING AMERICA FIRST ON THE GLOBAL STAGE: President Trump has consistently fought to protect U.S. sovereignty and ensure international engagements serve American interests.

    Immediately upon returning to office, President Trump initiated the withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement.
    On Day One of his Administration, President Trump also signed a Presidential Memorandum to notify the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that its Global Tax Deal has no force or effect in the United States, and direct an investigation into whether foreign countries have tax rules in place that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect American companies.
    Just weeks later, President Trump signed an Executive Order withdrawing the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and prohibiting any future funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for the Near East (UNRWA).
    He has prioritized American interests by redirecting focus and resources toward domestic priorities such as infrastructure, military readiness, and border security, and acting swiftly to protect American companies from foreign interference.

    You have to give TRUMPSTER some credit on this one…. 🙂

    Part of the monitoring of the Venezuelan oil tankers seizure was attributed to the “Space Force”.
    (Probably the surveillance of Venezuelan coastline)

    U.S. Space Force operational budget

    The U.S. Space Force’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 budget request is approximately $39.9 billion, a significant increase from FY 2025, combining a $26.1 billion base request with an additional $13.8 billion in special funding, focused on fielding combat-ready forces, enhancing space control, and developing next-generation capabilities like the “Golden Dome” initiative, despite a smaller base request initially. Key investments include space-based sensors, interceptors, and global mission operations, aiming for space superiority.
    FY 2026 Budget Breakdown:
    Total Request: ~$39.9 billion (including supplemental funds).
    Base Request: $26.1 billion.
    Supplemental Funds: $13.8 billion.
    Operations & Maintenance (O&M): $5.8 billion request.
    Key Investment Areas (FY2026):
