LEST HAVE A CHAT …FOR 10 YEARS

US Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer tells me in an interview that the US is deciding not to renew the USMCA trade agreement, instead entering rolling talks with Canada and Mexico for up to ten years

Are China and USA moving to currency backed by gold?

Interesting ideas in the below video of what is going on between China and US financial policies wrt gold backed currencies.
1. China’s banks restricting retail paper gold access and raising margins
2. Speculative thesis: paper markets suppress gold prices
3. Central bank buying as evidence of a shift toward physical gold
  • 244 tonnes of central bank purchases in Q1.
  • 10 of the last 11 quarters exceeding 200 tonnes of purchases.
  • Gold now represents a larger share of global reserves than U.S. Treasuries.
4. Building a parallel gold-clearing system in Asia
The system is intended to:
  • Emphasize physical delivery rather than paper settlement.
  • Expand vault capacity .
  • Support yuan-denominated commodity pricing anchored by deliverable physical gold.
5. Speculation about a U.S. policy response
The U.S. officially has 8,000 tonnes of gold.  At a market price near US$4,000/oz. a market value of over US$1 trillion. References are made to research discussing the potential monetization of U.S. assets and to proposals for a 50-year Treasury bond redeemable in either dollars or gold, attributed to Judy Shelton.
The timing is uncertain and notes that could result in substantial dollar depreciation rather than an official gold revaluation.
Executive Summary
The discussion centers on the view that the global gold market may be entering a structural transition from leveraged paper trading toward physical settlement, with China positioned as a key driver.
On the U.S. side, participants speculate about the possibility of future gold-linked Treasury securities or a revaluation of official U.S. gold reserves.
Overall, the consensus is that physical gold markets, central bank demand, and evolving market infrastructure warrant close monitoring.

Russia Closes Border Crossings With Several NATO States After Finland Lifts Nuclear Ban

Finland officially became the 31st member of NATO in April 2023 – having abandoned its historic neutrality in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in what was among the fastest accession processes in the Western military alliance’s history. Now it is already willing to host allied nukes on its territory, making it a target of Russian retaliation. Moscow has long warned against such an ultra-provocative move. The Kremlin said Monday that this requires a response – given also the fact that Russia and Finland share an over 800-mile long border, which is made up largely of Arctic frontier.

Study Claiming COVID Vaccines Benefit Heart Health ‘Hopelessly Flawed,’ Scientists Say

A new study linking COVID-19 vaccines to a significantly lower risk of heart attack and stroke joins “the latest in a growing body of research about the vaccine’s benefits for heart health,” according to The Washington Post, which reported on the study. But Dr. Vinay Prasad, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics, and other scientists said the study is flawed and its findings skewed.

Still waiting, but like the July 1st action today in PM’s…

AYA, this stock has weathered the drawdown very well.  Looking to see if it can finally break through 22 on the next silver advance.  We will see, but still think this is a must own silver play if you are bullish on silver over the next 2-3 years.  Bounced off the 200 day, and now flirting with retaking the 50 day and staying above it.

Fire Fighting in European Union: Don’t Forget The Decade of Policy Failures in California

The parallels are startling, and they reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what actually causes these catastrophes. Whether in the Mediterranean or the American West, the narrative has become a convenient shield for policymakers: blame “climate change,” ignore the structural rot, and then demand more taxpayer money to sustain a broken status quo.

Canada’s House passed radical internet bill (C-22) that could lead to ‘surveillance infrastructure’

Mark Carney’s government pushed Bill C-22 through the House of Commons last week. The bill requires internet companies to ensure that their systems include surveillance capabilities. It gives bold new powers to police, as it permits them and government officials to open and examine Canadians’ personal mail, and would also have banned cash donations over $10,000.  The bill mandates that telecom and internet companies ensure that their systems include surveillance and monitoring capabilities, which could be shared with police and intelligence agencies.

Independent Medical Alliance Applauds End of COVID-19 Emergency Authorizations; “Should Have Happened Years Ago”

National physician network warns a 12-month wind-down for drugs and biologics leaves these unsafe products on the market far too long.

The original declarations took effect in March 2020, devices on March 24 and drugs and biological products on March 27, meaning the underlying authority has remained in place for more than six years. The EUAs for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were already rescinded in 2025, well before today’s broader termination.

“The deadline to announce the decision to extend is tomorrow, July 1st. There is no deadline on the timeline to announce an exit or withdrawal from the USMCA. That announcement can happen at any time.

Put simply, announcing a non-renewal is a 10-year exit. Announcing a withdrawal is a 6-month exit. The announcement to withdraw can come at any time after the statement of non-renewal.”

However, Canada will still be oblivious to what comes next because their media will tell them they have a decade to work things out. They don’t.

Angel mom of Sheridan Gorman just WENT OFF on Democrat members of Congress to their faces for being complicit in her daughter’s m*rder

“MY DAUGHTER paid for YOUR FAILURES! With her LIFE!”

“I am begging, BEGGING! Elected leaders to value my child’s life after it’s already too late. I cried when I came into the room.”

“NO FAMILY should EVER have to bury their child because public officials fail to put American lives first.”

“WE CHOOSE YOU — CHOOSE US!”

“Why does my child matter less than an illegal immigrant? Why?!”

: Sheridan Gorman’s angel mom just dropped this raw truth nuke straight to Democrat members of Congress

“I don’t understand why it’s only the REPUBLICAN side that cares about our American children!”

“Basically what you just did, what you said was, ‘I’m so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain…'”

“You DON’T feel my pain. Because the next words out of your mouth were, ‘BUT.'”

“There’s no ‘BUT’ when your child is in a coffin!”

“And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I’m here, I’m going to buy you a bench. I’m going to buy. You can put that on the record. I’m going to buy Congress the bench. And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter. I really want to know what because I don’t understand!”

Comment section is interesting

Could this be the beginning of price discovery for Gold

China is setting up a Gold exchange in Hong Kong to allow the world to buy gold. No Paper contracts. The restrictions in buying paper Gold has already began. Margin rates of 140% for paper contracts within China.
This effectively stops paper Gold contracts.

Trump and Bessent may get ahead of this by re-valuating the US Gold reserves from the official price of $42/oz to xxxxx.

It’s set to begin July 24 in Hong Kong. Will Trump make an announcement on July 4 that will reset the value? It’s only speculation right now.

Can listen at 1.5x with clarity.

Finally Gold Price discovery?

Honestly, with all the crap going on, this

place ain’t worth saving anymore. Just burn it all down and start fresh again. Never in history has an empire or nation recovered from the chaos we find ourselves in.

Interesting times

The Globalist run Western countries are experiencing a wake up call.
Soon their Welfare costs will exceed their Tax Revenue. Debt charges may rise to become unsustainable affecting rates and their currency.
Thus the universal push in the EU, UK, Australia, and Canada among others to resort to draconian censorship laws as the people wake up.
Glad to see the issue of re-migration starting up.

Western Rulers are getting worried that the Rules Based System of their Globalists overlords is being dismantled by “Orange Man Bad”.
If things were going well, none of these policies would be necessary.
Historic times. The Summer is just starting. The natives are getting restless. People are fleeing these places.

Trump is re-writing the playbook. Ireland is on fire and the people have had it. I have a short stay in Ireland in a couple of months and intend to ask the locals what they think. IOM is considered racist by some native lefties because the locals overwhelmingly rejected the mass migration/welfare draining narrative of the Globalists to weaken white society. They welcome immigration but there has to be a job attached or self sufficiency or sorry “you missed your stop, back you go to Liverpool”. GMG witnessed that first hand. It’s an independent country that exists culturally like the rest of the West before the craziness. They do depend upon the British Pound and imports of food, energy and goods to survive but I am sure that can be changed with time. The installation of a SMU nuclear plant would solve much of their energy needs. Could happen and it needs to be discussed.

Exciting times ahead for the sane peoples of the West but not without massive pushback and resolve.
I expect much upheaval the next year mainly for the good.
