    Get it? That’s the maneuver. That’s the core issue for the US. Detach (from Europe, which is dead anyway), come to Mother Russia with atonement by means of all kinds of diplomatic and economic moves which look like mutually beneficial and the real discussion on how the US will be “integrated” into the multipolar world will commence. The US is too important of a country, a military-political entity to be ignored. Europe is not. Fate of NATO? Only morons in NATO’s Brussels HQs can believe that they can fight Russia. So, it doesn’t really matter what will be the outcome of Trump and Ze “negotiations”

    i can only speak about why things do not and will not change in the US without a calamitous event. There is no trans-demographic discontent, no universal dissatisfaction of a great enough degree to illicit civil disobedience, The quelling of the January 6, 2024 protests was brutal enough to preclude any organized societal demonstration of discontent. A majority of the US population get their information and cultural identity from television. Society suffers multiple fractures, which are strengthened by confirmation bias through social media, not a single divide. Subscription to ideology brings greater social acceptance than possesion of factual information. An almost universal philosopy that “they need to do something”. There is the accepted dogma the US economy is functional, Wealth of Nations, capitalism. Finally there is a wide spread conservatism manifested as “the devil we know”.

    “all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.”

    The ordinary person senses the greatness of the odds against him even without thought or analysis, and he adapts his attitudes unconsciously. A huge passivity has settled on industrial society. For people carried about in mechanical vehicles, earning their living by waiting on machines, listening much of the waking day to canned music, watching packaged movie entertainment and capsulated news, for such people it would require an exceptional degree of awareness and an especial heroism of effort to be anything but supine consumers of processed goods.
    Marshall McLuhan

    “the Forms to which they are accustomed.”

    Typical American thinking
    1kg of silver in the battery makes it worth stealing

    Oil in a tanker makes it worth stealing

    Empty tanker with no protection makes it worth stealing

    The Chinese and Russians will fix that, pretty sure

    Silver Shorts:

    Tonight, we are watching the silver shorts, go up in flames!

    In the scissors, paper, and rock, game, somebody just added matches!

    Watch those very dry paper silvers burn, ever so brightly!

    Silver and Gold – Ultimate Backstop is the US Government:

    One must never forget that the US government started and has supported the multi decades long price suppression scheme of silver and gold. Everybody involved is just a puppet.

    The weak link in this price suppression scheme wasn’t gold, but rather silver.
    Low silver prices discouraged silver mining.
    Since silver is also an industrial metal, it was only a matter of time before there was an opportunity to “create” a silver metal shortage.

    There is no real shortage of silver in the world.
    The problem is a sudden shift in perception!
    Anybody with real silver, can not be persuaded at the moment, to part with their real silver, in exchange for paper US dollars!

    This “engineered” silver shortage is a result of the really big boys playing rough in the sandbox.
    It is about the power to make the rules.
    Who dies, we don’t yet know.

    Right now the US government has found itself in the embarrassing situation were unlimited USD creation can no longer produce the real silver demanded under it’s rules based order.

    The US government is losing face.

    All the US bank, and silver and gold trading structures, will be backstopped by the US government with unlimited USDs.

    Doing so, might then bring more questions about the value of USDs.

    However, before any of this happens, Europe will go first.

    I am now wondering how Europe will find the money to bail out their bank’s big silver shorts and still fund the Ukraine war?

    Will the CIA be a big loser?

    Nothing ever seems to be what it seems.

    Somebody(s) has a big target(s) on their back!

    Silver Update:

    I see that the “paper” silver and gold brigades have commenced battle with “real” silver and gold in Asian markets!

    This will be a very interesting battle to watch as it unfolds!

    My interest in Marx is extended only to his exact description of the capitalism and especially the late stage that we’re in
    at the moment. Beyond that I am not sure given that previous socialist countries had their own problems that made them fail.
    However I am intrigued by the fact that I’ve just written about the Che. People “instinctively sense” the predatory nature of capitalism and the load of BS it imposed on the humanity and placed their hope, as imaginary or even unrealistic as it is, into person associated with the communism.
    While ago, out of whatever reason, had ordered Marx’s “Kapital”. What I’ve got happen to be book 2, 1932 edition, printed here in the US. Cloth lined hardcover is heavily bent of extensive use while the text is even more heavily hand underlined by the person experiencing the pain that Marx was describing in the very book.

    From previous post

    This isn’t a bull market. It’s a regime change. The system is broken. And the metals market is finally forcing everyone to admit it.

    >What is this new and mysterious “USB” thing?
    Really? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
    Only since the turn of the century
    Maybe Celtic’s computer is that old, unlikely as that is
    Ever plugged in a usb stick/usb flash drive?
    That has a usb plug on the end

    Karl Marx:

    My problem with Marx was he never worked a day in his life, instead free loading off of others, to live.

    So, naturally he promoted a free loading system called communism.

    Since Marx never worked, he didn’t understand capitalism, over looking the basic fact that humans will only work hard for themselves, if unpaid.

    Using fear to force people to do unpaid work, only takes you so far, as desperate people can lose their fear rather suddenly.

    My conclusion regarding climate change global warming is that it is globalist propaganda.

    the benefits of fossil fuels are so obvious that only a defect in thinking could have induced people to ignore them

    My problem with Marx was he never worked a day in his life, instead free loading off of others, to live.

    Who wrote the books?

    Mozart is said to be close to that “free loader” definition too, in his constant “reluctance” to accept secure positions offered
    and rather relaying on his father’s financial support and constant indebtedness. To be fair, the positions that he was looking for never materialized, and the ones offered he, for some reason, he deemed unacceptable.
