The “Russia Threat” Tragicomedy

Financial Markets, Gold, Housing Market, Market Manipulation, U.S. Economy, , , ,

I’m still trying to understand how this nation became so deeply embroiled in this idiotic investigation into “he said, she said” about the Russians interfering in U.S. politics.  I can tie it back to the presidential election campaign when Hillary Clinton asserted, during one of the debates, that the Russians hacked her email.  LOL.  As it turns out, we know that is false.

The only real connection to corruption, bribes and Russia is Hillary and her husband.  The connection between millions in donations from a Russian company to Clinton “charitable funds” which paved the way for uranium sales to Russia is definitive.  Where’s the investigation into that?

The Russia situation, like the “war on terror,” is nothing more than a State-sponsored propaganda prop crafted to distract the public’s attention from the massive theft of public wealth.  The elitists are robbing the country blind and the citizens are blinded by fraudulent news reporting.  Every major “respected” news organization, print and television, has been forced to withdraw fabricated stories.  And yet, allegedly educated and “enlightened” people continue patronizing these same news sources.

My good friend, John Titus of Best Evidence video productions, and I were exchanging text messages earlier this week on the insanity that has gripped the U.S.  I wanted to share some quotes from him because they are too insightfully entertaining to keep to myself.

“The slaves [i.e. the public] will debate the merits of the red puppet and the blue puppet all the way to the gas chambers” [Republicans vs. Dems].  Note:  to anyone really paying attention, there’s no difference between Repubs and Dems – they are both controlled only by money and answer only to those who pay for their elections.  Anyone who believes that voting makes a difference is severely mentally challenged.

In reference to Russiagate:  “That story is actually so f–king dumb that I think it’s a national IQ test to see how much broad-daylight theft the criminals can get away with. ‘Can we,’ the criminals must be asking themselves, ‘drain every cent out of people’s bank accounts, 401k plans and pension funds and, in the morning, have CNN blame it on malicious gun-slinging right-wing hacker hobgoblins and still get away with it.’  The answer is most certainly ‘yes.'”

Of course, to that he added:  “Well, to be fair (and balanced), Fox News would undoubtedly fire back with a rash of its own ‘experts’ blaming the crisis on Black Lives Matter and lesbian abortionists for gun control.”

Trump Fiddles While The United States Burns

If history is any guide, global changes of this magnitude mean that the entrenched systems run by central banks and Deep State politics are set to be destabilized on a level we may have not witnessed in our lifetimes, which means assets like bitcoin, gold, and silver could become the safe havens of choice for investors.  – Mac Slavo, SHTFplan.com

Mac’s comment above was in response to the news that First Majestic CEO, Keith Neumeyer, is prepared to join the legal battle being waged against the world’s largest banks for manipulating the gold and silver markets.   Good luck with that.

But even if the plaintiffs make some headway against the banks, this fight will take years to wage and it will likely do little more than provide some temporary relief from the financial market’s equivalent of pancreas cancer.

While the precious metals community engaged in a celebratory end-zone dance when Deutsche Bank admitted to malfeasance in its paper silver trading business, the insolvent bank coughed up a fine that was mere pittance of the billions it made over the years rigging the LBMA.

To make matters worse, JP Morgan was mentioned nowhere in Deutsche’s testimony.   JP Morgan has by far the largest silver vault on the Comex, with an alleged 82 million ozs in its custody.  The next largest is Brinks with 25 million.  I say “alleged” because it’s quite doubtful that a large portion of JPM’s reported holdings exists anywhere other than as an entry on its daily vault report.  Ask Germany about that…

JPM also happens to be the largest market maker in Comex silver futures, it’s part of the bank cartel that fixes the price of silver on the LBMA everyday and it’s the vault custodian of the alleged silver that is supposed to belong to the SLV trust.   Does it make sense that JP Morgan went unnamed in the Deutsche Bank confessional?   If that happens to pass your smell test then we would suggest that you blow your nose thoroughly and take another sniff.

With regard to the manipulation of precious metals, if you want to kill a snake, you have to cut off its head. Similarly, if you want to end precious metals manipulation, you need to destroy the BIS.  The directive and authority to manipulate the metals comes from the mother of all Central Banks.  JP Morgan is the BIS’ chief agent in executing the directive. Deutsche Bank was given explicit instructions to omit all references to JP Morgan from its superficial mea culpa.

Mac is correct in his assertion that systems run by Central Banks are becoming destabilized.  And he is correct in his implied assertion that this will lead to much higher precious metals prices.  Bitcoin?  Who knows?  Bitcoin is a de facto digital currency and thus yet another fictitious form of money with a computer system as its counterparty.

The problem is that as the destabilization process unfolds, the Establishment will fight back hard in an effort to maintain control.   This blow-back will be in the form of a further advancement toward Governmental totalitarianism. With the geopolitical and economic wheels beginning to fly off rails, at this point it’s fait accompli.    In today’s episode of the Shadow of Truth, we discuss the general systemic decay of the U.S. and Trump’s role as the modern day Nero:

From Dystopia To Armegeddon

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.  – Hunter S. Thompson

I mentioned the news reports of fist-fights breaking out at traffic intersections in Denver. Then yesterday I hear two different news reports of random gun shots.  One of shots fired into someone’s house in a not so great part of Denver (Aurora).  The second report of bullets flying across one of Denver’s busiest highways and hitting cars.  Then I learn last night that bullets flying into cars driving on highways in Arizona have become part of everyone’s daily routine.

We’re sliding into the “Mad Max” scenario which many of us for a long time have envisioned eventually hitting this country.  I would have thought that this environment would have started engulfing this country in 2008.  But the Government pulled what appeared to be a rabbit out of its hat which enabled it to kick “Mad Max” down the road for a bit.  That “rabbit” by the way, while preventing an all out collapse and actually making life better for the people closest to the money spigot, was nothing more than a disguise designed to help the elitists confiscate even more wealth from the middle class.

The population’s hatred for the Government grows stronger by the day.  The popularity of Trump’s candidacy for President is a reflection of this intensifying despise.   A growing segment of the population cheers harder for Trump everyday as he lashes out with insults at the politicians everyone now hates.  Let’s be honest, Trump is at least as corrupt as the career politicians he’s humorously defacing.  He would be a horrible President.  Of course, so would every other candidate on the roster for both Parties.

Perhaps the best – yet least understood – evidence of the darkness which is slowly engulfing the the U.S. is the disappearance of physical precious metals from the global financial system.   Gold and silver is being removed hand-over-fist from public view.  Most of the gold is being moved from west to east, where it’s being removed from the bullion exchanges by the 10’s of tonnes on a daily basis.  For instance, the Hong Kong Metals Exchange just had its largest daily withdrawal – 19.7 tonnes – in its history.   Roughly 100 tonnes per week is now being removed from the Shanghai Gold Exchange.  This is Gresham’s Law in action, folks.

We already know about the growing shortages for minted silver products around the world, especially in the U.S.   And the disappearance of gold from the Comex bank vaults is nothing short of stunning.  The ratio of fraudulent paper gold to deliverable physical gold hit 229:1 to yesterday.  To say this is “silly” is an insult to the word “silly.”  This reflects and epitomizes the extreme degree of corruption, fraud and theft which is burying the United States.

I was exchanging emails this morning with GATA’s Bill “Midas” Murphy.  We were marveling at just how extreme and blatant the manipulation of the precious metals market has become.  I find it beyond amusing that mainstream financial media – which rolls out charts of stocks and select commodities all day long – has failed to put on display the chart that shows that gold gets hit 90% of the time only when the Comex floor trading is open.  Funny non-coincidence, that.

I suggested to Bill that something really bad is going to hit our system:

Think about the manipulation of the metals market that occurred just before the Lehman, AIG/Goldman collapses. They took silver from $21 in March that year to $7 by late October.

Now think about how much more brutal this manipulation is both in the context both of the intensity and the disappearance of physical metal from the system.

I’d estimate that the manipulation now is probably 5x worse and more blatant than in 2008. Which means whatever is going to hit the system will be at least 5x worse than 2008.

I know most people who understand what is going on would like to see a collapse and thorough flush of the system.  Unfortunately, the dystopic behavior starting to show up in the general population will be met with brutal force by the near-totalitarian U.S. Government in an attempt to control it.   The inevitable systemic collapse will enable the Government to impose totalitarian control on the country to a degree that would be heartily admired by history’s despots.

It’s going to start to get really weird in this country (as if it has gotten weird enough already)…
