    What the F%(# Is Going on With Silver?!?

    Is silver the new Bitcoin in terms of building generational wealth in a matter of years?

    Disclaimer: I am not qualified or allowed to answer that question because I don’t have a piece of paper from the government licensing me to give financial advice. What follows is not financial advice, just one man’s opinion.

    The most telling thing about silver’s recent explosive rise in value compared to the U.S. dollar is the mainstream media’s complete silence on the issue. It’s almost like they’re being told to shut up about it by the entities that own them. I’m speaking, of course, of BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and a couple others who own, basically, every large company in America and have de facto operational control over such companies through their ability to control those companies’ boards of directors.

    As an aside, the companies above own each other, and because they’re not publicly traded, nobody knows who really owns them. It’s really crazy to think about. Every company is owned by, considering cross-ownership of the holding companies/hedge funds above, one entity whose identity is unknown. Is it the Vatican? Israel? The Illuminati? Lizards from outer space? Not only do we not know, we’re not allowed to know, and that makes me want to adjust the fit of my tin foil hat.

    In the interest of economizing words, we will refer to the above entity that owns everything as “BlackStreetGuard” hereafter in this article.

    If a stonk in your portfolio had risen 300% in a year, the mainstream media puppets of BlackStreetGuard would be screaming it from the rooftops like they do with the AI stuff, the EV stuff, and whatever other bullcrap they want you to buy. Apparently, they don’t want you to buy silver. Here’s why:

    Without silver, AI doesn’t work. Bombs don’t work. Solar panels don’t work. Most electronics don’t work. For this reason, BlackStreetGuard, with the help of a few of its large banks and the CME/CBOE, have been actively suppressing the price of silver for well over a decade, maybe even a century. They do this by issuing paper contracts at ridiculously low prices with the gentleman’s agreement that nobody ever demands physical delivery.

    In 2023, a couple JP Morgan silver market manipulators were actually sentenced to prison for silver market manipulation. Funny coincidence that silver’s rise began not long thereafter. (JPM and all banks are fully owned subsidiaries of BlackStreetGuard, for the record.)

    The problem with the bankster scam — and this is far broader than just silver — is that things have to happen in the real world for wealth to be created. Money is not wealth; it is a claim on wealth. They can print all the money they want, print it to infinity, in fact, but if the actual wealth in the real world does not rise to match the increased money supply, all that happens is that larger amounts of money are required for the same claims to wealth (inflation).

    If your name is something like Rockefeller, this means the market cap of your companies goes up. If your name is Smith or Jones, it means you pay more for your claims on wealth; you know, the roof over your head, your education and trifling little things like that.

    In the “good old days,” a bank lent money to a business. The business created products/services (and jobs) and increased economic activity in the real world. This can work as long as the money is being used for the purpose of generating actual wealth in the real world.

    Since the late 1990s, money creation has not resulted in tangible increases in wealth. Oh sure, we got smartphones and AI, but have either of these resulted in an enhanced standard of living? If anything, they have diminished our quality of life; where we used to hang out and talk about things, now we hunch over and ask AI to spoon-feed us all the answers, mostly in solitude.

    Your iPhone is a distraction (and Apple is, of course, owned by BlackStreetGuard) designed to keep you wrapped up in AI slop, oblivious to what is really going on in the world, which is this:

    Actual wealth is diminishing while money creation chases infinity.

    Remember, money is a claim on wealth, not wealth itself. What has been happening in orgiastic proportions since the near-collapse of 2008 is that money (claims on wealth) has been conjured into existence in amounts so large that it might as well be infinite. Those who stand next to the money printer and had existing claims on wealth (those with names like Rockefeller) have done quite well. Those who need money to claim “wealth” just to survive, working slobs like you and me… have not done so well.

    So… what does this have to do with the recent (and I believe, only beginning) rise in the price of silver?

    Silver is one of those things that “they” need to keep their AI data centers going, to keep iPhones in the hands of the plebes. As long as they could get it cheaply, todo bien. The problem is that the physical supply of silver is finite; infinite money creation does nothing to change this basic fact.

    What is happening is that physical delivery is, in reality, required. By selling silver cheap for so long, BlackStreetGuard has completely fucked itself. If I sell you silver for $30/oz. in a paper contract, and you demand delivery, I have to honor that. If I don’t have the silver, I have to scramble for it.

    Essentially, what is happening is a bank run. Governments, companies, and individuals are demanding their “deposits,” but the “bankers” don’t have said deposits.

    In the real world, this means things have to become expensive, including capital inputs like data centers and bombs. There are physical limits on the pipe dreams of BlackStreetGuard, as it turns out. God seems to have a sense of humor about letting hubris send the devil’s minions to Hell, balancing the scales without lifting a finger, letting them dig their own graves, etc.

    I’m not recommending that anyone buy physical silver as a middle finger to our would-be slave masters, but I will leave you with this:

    There is not enough silver in the world for every person to own even one ounce.

    Do with that information what you will.

    Hi ho, Silver! Awaaaaay!

    Peace,
