@DrD

That’s an interesting opinion you’ve got about silver. Too bad you haven’t got the grit and inclination to do your home-work and looksee if your imaginary numbers play out the way your imaginary world needs them to. HINT: they don’t. Physics and math are indifferent to human needs.

I’m not saying that the world ends when the silver runs out. I’m saying that the hyper-high-technology world that we have constructed can not, will not and shall not continue operating in recognizable fashion when critically necessary silver reaches critically short supply within the next 6 or 7 years (maybe as low as 5).

Will we substitute other metals and adapt to the critically changing factors of supply & demand (and physics)? Of course we will, and when we do then the hyper-tech-dependent world that we have become so accustomed to (and dependent upon to treat and mistreat our billions of population) is going to look a lot different.

Our proto-Cassandras predicted that it would be peak oil that administers humanity’s comeuppance. Turns out that it looks like silver depletion gets the honors instead. What’s the dif? I’m not smart enough to parse all of the details, but I can count, and even do simple arithmetic when my senile dementia is in remission, and the numbers say 5 or 6 years, 7 tops.

If you want to argue with me about that I’m up for it. We’ll both probably learn a bunch. But I don’t advise trying to slip by with a brush-off of dismissive sarcasm because the reality of it is just too damn obvious for everyone else not to see, and you will then have the embarrassing situation of having to walk back all that tough talk.

Narco Marko explained

Pimp Daddy Trump ‘the Don’ and his Latin Lieutenant “Narco Marko” Rubio want to re-create the heyday of Cuban Casino Gangster Culture of the 1950s.

Particularly the period under dictator Fulgencio Batista (1952-1959), when American mobsters like Meyer Lansky transformed Havana into a lavish, mob-controlled playground for tourists, featuring luxurious hotels, casinos, and nightclubs, until the culture’s abrupt end with Fidel Castro’s revolution in 1959.

Sounds like Pimp Daddy Trump’s dream come true… lavish, luxurious hotels, casinos, and nightclubs

Narco Marko Rubio’s sister is married to a Real Actual Narcotic Kingpin.

That means Trump’s Sec of State and National Security Advisor is FAMILY to drug traffickers.

Dr. D is probably unfamiliar with the age old practice of marrying off your sister to a King (in this case a Drug King Pin) in order to cement an alliance for political, business or personal gain.

Being Trumptard’s Number One Fanboy and defender he will undoubtedly rationalize this embarrassingly inconvenient fact but Narco Marko’s brother-in-law, Orlando Cicilia, was a major cocaine trafficker and served time in federal prison for his role in a large drug smuggling operation.

He was married to Rubio’s older sister, Barbara

Arrest and Conviction:

Cicilia was arrested in 1987 as part of “Operation Cobra,” a federal crackdown on a significant Florida drug ring, led by kingpin Mario Tabraue. He was convicted in 1989 of conspiracy to distribute millions of dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Drug Kingpin Association:

Cicilia worked as a “front man” in the drug ring led by Tabraue, a notoriously violent figure who allegedly ordered the murder of a federal informant.

Family Connection:

Rubio was a teenager at the time of the arrest and lived with his family in Cicilia’s home for a period. While some law enforcement officials found it hard to believe the family was unaware.

Rubio has maintained that he and his parents did not know about Cicilia’s illegal activities at the time.

Release and Later Life:

Cicilia was released from prison in 2000 for good behavior, after serving over 11 years. He later worked as a real estate agent, with Rubio writing a letter of recommendation for his license in 2002

Cuba is known to one and all in the Caribbean as very anti-drug trafficking.

Cuba and the United States do cooperate on counter-narcotics efforts, primarily through ongoing intelligence sharing between the Cuban Border Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Narco Marko must not like that.

Won’t be able to LIE (again) over Cuba facilitating drug traffic.

He and Trump want Cuba as a luxury Casino for the Oligarch Class, you know, like in the Good Olde Days of yore.

From John Day’s post above^^^

Trumptard does a double triple twisting back flip. Score: 9.9, 9.7, 10

“​ Trump DOJ Admits Venezuela’s ‘Cartel De Los Soles’ Isn’t An Actual Organization

Hahahaha. ‘Cartel De Los Soles’ sounds like a fish dish from a Latin food truck. Score: 4 out of 10

​ A major plank in the Trump administration’s case for military intervention in Venezuela is looking thinner today, as the Department of Justice has retreated from the notion that captured President Nicolas Maduro was the head of an organized drug cartel called “Cartel de los Soles”.

The DOJ now says the term “Cartel de los Soles” is merely descriptive of a “culture of corruption” fueled by the illegal drug trade.

Hahaha, make them stop, they’re molesting the language like a pedophile diddles little children’s genitals.

​ This isn’t semantics: Both the Treasury and State Departments had officially designated the non-existent group as a terrorist organization.​..

​The retreat from the idea that Cartel de los Soles is an actual organization was apparent in the DOJ’s filing of a superseding (updated) indictment.

The previous indictment referred to the supposed cartel 32 times, naming Maduro as its chief. The new one only mentions the term twice, and says it’s only descriptive of a “patronage system” and a “culture of corruption” propelled by drug money.

You can see why the worst of them are behaving so desperately in these last stages of the game. There is a lot riding on the outcome.

Earth is about to become much simpler again because it cannot maintain the resource-hungry hyper tech civilization much longer.

If us peasants can figure it out this easy then the rulers figured it out quite some time ago (and chose not to share that knowledge with the rest of us, for obvious despicable reasons.

Well, the cat’s out of the bag now. What do you personally intend to do about that?

[D Benton Smith]

The world is going to get a lot simpler fairly rapidly in some cases, places and situations. A great many of our 8 Billion fellow humans are going to be severely challenged to survive the fact that a significantly simpler world cannot feed, shelter and clothe 8 billion people. We are barely getting the job done now with all of our industrial technology working at full blast! If the task gets bigger or our technology gets hampered in any way then some of those 8 billion people are going to die as a consequence. That’s just the way it is.

It is our moral responsibility, as individuals and in groups, to do everything that we can to make sure that as many people survive physically, morally and spiritually as possibly can. There are many many ways to help do that, so it is also your responsibility to find or make one of those ways and follow through by then doing what that way consists of.

Chevron Contracts 11 Tankers For Venezuela Port Calls As Don-Roe Doctrine Begins

by Tyler Durden

Chevron has contracted a fleet of tankers scheduled to arrive in Venezuela later this month, reinforcing its role as the dominant player, for now, a critical conduit for Venezuelan crude into US refineries along the Gulf of America.

Key highlights from the Bloomberg report that first pointed out Chevron’s 11 tankers headed to Venezuela:

Number of Chevron-chartered ships is the highest since October and up from nine in December, with arrivals planned at the Jose and Bajo Grande ports.

Of the 11 Chevron vessels, one has already loaded crude and two are currently docked; the oil is bound for U.S. refiners including Valero Energy, Phillips 66, and Marathon Petroleum.

Chevron operates under a U.S. Treasury license and remains the only Western firm permitted to produce and export Venezuelan crude under U.S. sanctions.

On Wednesday, 7 January, 2026, the US military seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera in the North Atlantic after pursuing it all the way from the Caribbean Sea.
The vessel, previously named Bella 1, was intercepted for alleged “violation of US sanctions” in the international waters to the northwest of Scotland.

Shortly after the capture of the Marinera, the US Southern Command said it had seized another vessel in the Caribbean Sea, describing it as “a stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker.”
“The interdicted vessel, M/T Sophia, was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea. The US Coast Guard is escorting M/T Sophia to the US for final disposition,” the command stated.

Mafia Increases Activities

The Trump administration is “selectively” removing sanctions to enable the shipping and sale of Venezuelan oil to markets worldwide, according to an outline of the policies published Wednesday by the Energy Department.

The oil sales are slated to begin immediately with the sale of 30 million to 50 million barrels from the South American country, and “will continue indefinitely,” the outline says.

Proceeds will settle in U.S. controlled accounts at “globally recognized banks” and then be disbursed to the U.S. and Venezuelan populations at the “discretion” of the Trump administration, it says.

Did Russia Just Send a Message to Donald Trump? Who Ratted out Maduro?
7 January 2026 by Larry C. Johnson

On January 6, Russia launched three major missile strikes against US-owned facilities in Ukraine. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian ballistic missiles decimated the Oleina oil extraction plant, which is owned by the American Bunge company from Saint Louis. Its official name is the Dnipropetrovsk Oil Extraction Plant, located in Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk), central Ukraine. It is a major sunflower seed processing facility specializing in crushing, refining, and bottling sunflower oil.

Furthermore, in western Ukraine, in the Transcarpathian region, Russian kamikaze drones, together with ballistic missiles, caused critical damage to the Flex plant, which also belonged to American investors. Flex Ltd. (formerly Flextronics), a Singaporean-American company headquartered in Austin, Texas, operates a major manufacturing site in Mukachevo (Zakarpattia Oblast, western Ukraine), which opened in 2012. This facility specializes in civilian electronics production (e.g., household appliances like coffee machines, printer components, and injection-molded plastics). It employs thousands and was significantly damaged in a previous Russian missile strike on August 21, 2025, injuring workers and sparking international commentary as an attack on US-owned infrastructure.

Russia also launched a massive missile attack on the American-owned marine terminal Olimpex, which is considered the largest in the Odessa region. This is the second time this year that Russia hit the terminal (I wrote about it in July). This terminal is one of the largest grain export facilities in the country, with an annual throughput capacity of up to 5 million tons. However, Ukraine was moving more than grain through Olimpex. According to witnesses, even though this facility was protected by Patriot air defense systems, the Russian missiles hit the terminal unimpeded. The subsequent explosions turned out to be so powerful that a supermassive mushroom cloud arose over Odessa, which indicates that this marine terminal contained numerous warehouses filled with NATO weapons.

I don’t know if this fulfills Russia’s promise to retaliate for the US-backed December 28 failed drone attack on Putin’s official residence in Novgorod, but I don’t think it a coincidence that three US-owned facilities that appear to produce or warehouse weapons for the Ukrainian war effort were attacked on the same day.

Shifting gears to Venezuela, I think the two most likely candidates for the betrayal of Nicholas Maduro are:

Director of SEBIN: Major General Alexis Rodríguez Cabello Appointed in October 2024, he remains in position as of early January 2026. He is a cousin of Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and has been sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged human rights abuses. The acronym SEBIN stands for Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia Nacional in Spanish. This translates to Bolivarian National Intelligence Service in English. It is Venezuela’s primary civilian intelligence and secret police agency, established in 2010 as a restructured successor to the former DISIP (Dirección de los Servicios de Inteligencia y Prevención). The agency reports to the executive branch (historically the Vice President) and has been widely criticized by human rights organizations for political repression, arbitrary detentions, and alleged torture.
Director of DGCIM (and Commander of the Presidential Honor Guard): Major General Gustavo González López Appointed by Delcy Rodríguez on January 6, 2026, replacing the previous director. González López is a longtime Chavista hardliner who previously served as SEBIN director (2019–2024) and Minister of Interior and Justice. The acronym DGCIM stands for Dirección General de Contrainteligencia Militar in Spanish. This translates to General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence in English. It is Venezuela’s military intelligence agency, responsible for countering espionage, monitoring potential threats within the armed forces, investigating alleged plots against the government, and handling internal security matters related to the military. The DGCIM has been widely accused by human rights organizations (including the United Nations) of systematic torture, arbitrary detentions, and extrajudicial actions as part of state repression.
Given Gustavo González López’s close ties with Delcy Rodríguez, I am inclined to believe that he was the one who made sure that Venezuela’s air defense systems were inactive during the US abduction of Nicholas Maduro. However, neither González López nor Rodríguez Cabello are named in the Maduro indictment… though Cabello’s cousin is a named defendant. Stay tuned.

I did three fascinating podcasts today. For the second consecutive year I did the first live podcast with the boys of the Duran. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Alex and Alexander in person yet, but we have developed a genuine friendship during the course of the war in Ukraine. My second adventure was with Danny Davis. I was late in arriving for the interview because I had written down the wrong start time. Still, we had a fascinating chat. Last, but not least, Mario Nawfal invited me back to discuss Venezuela. Mario accompanied the Judge and me when we did our interview last March with Sergei Lavrov:

The Democrats were almost right about Trump; yes, he turned out to be the oligarch’s dictator, but he also turned out to be a criminally insane oligarch dictator. His crimes will just escalate until there is nothing left of the old system; he is not putting in place a better system, he is helping his oligarch friends steal whatever they can to turn the USA into the imperial ruler of the world.

Will it work? Well, that depends on how much they piss off Russia and/or China. Venezuela was just one Chinese project, they can easily live without Venezuela, especially as their oil output was tiny – despite the US government pretending that they will be shipping 50 million barrels to the USA this week (total lies to keep the remaining MAGA boomers happy). Russia and China know that the USA is bigging itself up in its own back yard, an bolstering the troops, gatting that national hatred for foreigners going again, so that they can tackled the real fight, the takeover of Iran.

The takeover of Iran will be interesting; both China and Russia have the missiles needed to demolish any US military force attack on Iran without leaving their countries. They could destroy Israel without leaving home, zero home casualties. They could sink any armada without leaving home. The Russians and Chinese have a plan, they will know the USA’s weaknesses and the best way to kill the USA stone dead in one overwhelming attack. They also know it has to be done as soon as Trump applies his team America bullshit outside of the Americas.

Another issue is South Korea which is becoming friendlier and friendlier with China; a full state visit last week with over 200 Korean business leaders accompanying their national leader. They are doing the opposite of the Japanese, who have elected an idiot to continue the sychophancy towards the west, but that cannot survive, it will have to give way to a treaty and friendship with China. Japan is easy to suffocate and when the USA goes down, then Japan will cave, it is all about chosing the right moment.

And the North East countries of Africa, including Somalia, have invited the Chinese Foreign Minister to visit them this week; I suspect they are planting their flags firmly in the BRICS camp and want China to know where they stand; what with the latest Israeli Imperialism in Africa.

A lot of people are going to die this year; all we can hope is that some of the dead will be the oligarchs that are funding this chaos.

trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil: Exclusive

The Trump administration has told Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez that the regime must meet the White House’s demands before being allowed to pump more oil, according to three people familiar with the administration’s plan.

First, the country must kick out China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic ties, the sources said. Second, Venezuela must agree to partner exclusively with the U.S. on oil production and favor America when selling heavy crude oil, they added……

…..”The government does intend to control the oil, taking charge of the ships, the tankers, and none of them are going to go to Havana,” Wicker said. “And until they start moving — we hope to the open market — there are no more tankers to fill, because they’re totally full.”……

Silver Crashing:

Like clockwork, the stories are now coming out that the bottom for silver is going to fall out next week because they might flood the silver market with paper silver!

Physical Silver:

Now, there is nothing wrong with holding a little physical silver in hand.

But never put a mining company between you and your silver!
Silver companies are exclusively set up and financed by the banks to supply cheap silver to the exchanges. Interest is often paid in silver.
They don’t have your best interests at heart!
Actually you are the sucker they want, to reduce their costs for this scheme!

Don’t belive me? Then look at the poor leverage of silver mining stocks to the price of physical silver!

Silver goes up 4% and the silver mining stock, merely goes up 1.23%.
Silver falls 4% and and the silver mining stock, falls 5%.
And so it goes.

So don’t buy silver mining stocks!
Buy physical silver and you get rid of the all the incompetent miners and their competent bankers risks.
Like betting on horses verses greyhounds.
One less thing to go wrong

My Father was a mining engineer.
He used to travel all over North America looking at undeveloped ore bodies.
Everybody and his brother has an ore body!
For personnal job security, he never ever said yes!

The odds of him finding an ore body was over 640 years, that is if he worked all 640 of those years!

I can say the same for many gold mining companies, like Barrick, who specialize in helping you bury your wealth into a deep dark hole, never to be seen again.

copilot input on –
US Piracy, Sanctions, and Tariffs are working to weaken and isolate the US.
———

Net effect: These mechanisms cannot meaningfully reduce U.S. debt.
Tariffs can narrow deficits temporarily, but the structural drivers — entitlement growth and rising interest costs — overwhelm them.
Debt relief requires systemic fiscal reform, not tactical seizures or trade levies.

Key Stress Triggers
– Interest Costs: By 2030, annual interest payments are projected to exceed $1 trillion, larger than defense or Medicare.
– Debt-to-GDP Ratio: Already ~124% in 2025, projected to reach 150–200% by 2047 if unchecked.
– Investor Confidence: If foreign creditors (China, Japan, EU funds) reduce Treasury purchases, yields spike. A +1% rise in yields adds $360B/year in interest costs.
– Entitlement Growth: Social Security and Medicare outlays rise sharply with aging demographics, adding trillions in obligations.

Crash Scenarios
– Soft Crash (Fiscal Squeeze):
– Timeline: Late 2020s–early 2030s.
– Interest costs crowd out discretionary spending, forcing tax hikes or spending cuts.
– Market Shock (Bond Sell-off):
– Timeline: Could happen anytime confidence falters.
– Trigger: Foreign creditors dump Treasuries → yields spike → debt service explodes.
– Structural Crash (Debt Spiral):
– Timeline: 2040s onward if no reforms.
– Debt-to-GDP >200%, interest >20% of federal revenue

Bottom Line
There isn’t a single “crash date.” Instead:
– Near-term (2026–2030): Rising interest costs strain budgets.
– Medium-term (2030s): Market confidence risks sudden shocks.
– Long-term (2040s): Without reform, debt spirals into unsustainability.
The system “crashes” when investors stop treating Treasuries as risk-free. That’s less about a calendar date and more about confidence breaking under compounding interest and political gridlock.

Why do you suppose they are all making the same bet?

And, more to the point of interest to us, who is on the other side of that bet? Who and what are they betting against?

I just can’t shake the feeling that the loser of the other side of that bet, is none other than thee and me.

Our leaders have spoken to their AI God and it is telling them that the general population, the great unwashed masses of humanity, are TOAST, so the smart bet is against those doomed peasants and in favor of those at the top who choose to sacrifice as many of those at the bottom as it takes to get through this bottleneck.
