“Trevor Hise’s parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that’s $13.5 million. He’s 37 and semiretired. His words: “The magnitude of this has been ridiculous.”

Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a ? to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. ? One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.

Silver dropped almost 50% from June 1968 to November 1971, and then rallied ~420% into February 1974.

Silver then dropped ~43% into 1976 and then rallied ~1150% by January 1980.

Silver dropped 60% from March to October 2008 and then rallied ~490%.

Gold dropped almost 30% in late-1973 and then rallied almost 100%…and then dropped ~25% and then rallied another 45% all by January 1975.

Gold dropped 50% in 1975 and 1976 and then rallied ~770% by Jan 1980.

Gold dropped ~26% in 2006 and then rallied 90%.

Gold dropped ~35% in 2008 and then rallied 180%.

This sell-off since January 2026 is now the third largest silver has ever had within the context of a bull market, and for gold it’s the the fourth largest…almost on par with the 1973 correction and nearly on par with the Great Financial Crisis. In terms of time from top to bottom, this is more akin to the 1973 correction (about 20 weeks) or 2006 (about 20 weeks).

All of these drops led to enormous V-bottom rallies, some so rapid that if they repeated today it would mean $8000+ gold by October.

This is one tragic result of the legacy media NOT reporting on the cover-up of safety signals associated with these mRNA injections. Read my report to find out what a travesty these CDC contracts truly are. Senator Ron Johnson

Democrats spent four years telling you Trump was the threat to democracy. Now Hakeem Jeffries is posting target lists on social media.

“To all members of the Trump administration,” Jeffries wrote. “The incitement and engagement in state violence against the American people is a serious crime. Donald Trump will leave office long before the five-year statute of limitations expires. You are hereby put on notice.”  Jeffries doubled down in December, spelling out exactly who he has in mind – officials he accused of corruption, law-breaking, and what he called “extrajudicial activity.”

FBI Director Kash Patel, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Former AG Pam Bondi, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth were all named. Elon Musk and DOGE are on the list. Rep. Ted Lieu wants Hegseth prosecuted for war crimes – there is no statute of limitations for war crimes.”

So the plan is to spend the next three years documenting every action taken by Trump officials, then activate prosecutions the moment a Socialist Democrat reaches the White House or flips the House in November’s midterms.

The World Cup will be weeks-long experiment in global mixing that creates a perfect environment for infectious diseases to spread

When the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins on June 11, 2026, matches will be played across 16 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Millions of fans will arrive through multiple airports and will pack into stadiums, airports, hotels, bars and public transit systems over five weeks.

That makes the World Cup not just a sporting event but a weeks-long experiment in global mixing that creates a perfect environment for infectious diseases to spread. Events of this scale rarely cause major outbreaks, but they do create opportunities for outbreaks and for health systems to be tested.

Here are some of the infectious disease threats they are monitoring as the world’s largest sporting event kicks off:

Summary

• Araghchi: A deal, if reached, will be signed remotely by both sides and then announced.
• The UAE had agreed to release a total of $10b, more than $3b of which had already been delivered (Reuters).
• Bloomberg latest: US Senior admin officials says Iran deal accomplishes core US objectives and deal reopens Strait of Hormuz; Iran deal guarantees long-term peace in region and includes inspection regime.
• Pakistan PM Sharif: “we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached & Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps.”
• Surprise, surprise: Iran FM says sides “have never been closer and pending its finalisation, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content, details to be shared in due course.”
• Trump on Truth Social rejects Iran’s version of MoU terms (below): “What they said, including their weak & pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth.”
• Tehran: “Contrary to what is being circulated by Western media, Iran will not commit to relinquishing control of the Strait of Hormuz.”
• CNN speculates (prematurely, it seems) on Geneva signing of ‘Islamabad Declaration’ as soon as Sunday or next week.

In a move that surprises absolutely no one paying attention, the United States is planning to significantly slash the number of fighter jets and warships it feeds into the NATO machine in Europe

The reported cutbacks hit right as panicked European nations scramble to patch up their own defense capacities. Though long expected given President Trump’s somewhat adverse relationship with the NATO alliance, and fiercely critical rhetoric continuously directed at Brussels, European capitals are deeply concerned given they are under the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine war, now in its fifth year.

Please explain how European Capitals can be “under the shadow” of this war when it is they that are funding, supporting, preaching, arming and providing logistical support to a nation whose only declining resource is it’s male population? How can anyone be under a shadow if they are creating it??? 

Vague new rules will allow UK regulators to pressure platforms over “legal but harmful” content whenever government ministers declare a crisis…

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has retracted intelligence community reports on mysterious health problems known as Havana Syndrome, according to a memorandum released on June 11.

That included selectively excluding intelligence and evidence that did not support the conclusions and relying on an “ethically flawed medical study without noting methodological critiques,”

“The assessment was deliberately manufactured and used to discredit some of our nation’s bravest and impede their access to medical care. As was the case with other high-visibility intelligence assessments, it fell far short of analytic integrity standards,”

The on-and-off U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and the flipping U.S. position regarding India’s oil purchases from Russia highlight the double standards of the Western nations, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday.

India turned en masse to Russian oil in 2022, when the U.S. and the EU imposed sanctions on Moscow due to the invasion of Ukraine. Four years later, India is a major buyer of Russia’s crude and Russia is India’s single-largest oil supplier. “At that time, the US specifically asked India to buy Russian oil to stabilize the oil market,” Jaishankar was quoted as saying at an event in Finland, referring to the situation on the market in 2022.

“Let’s not pretend there’s some great principle involved here. I don’t think making this about sanctimony is really warranted,”

After months of searching through Intelligence Community holdings and files, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. These biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. For example, the Intelligence Community previously warned that a US-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage.

The newly declassified evidence can be found HERE.

AND

A proposed US-Iran memorandum of understanding would require the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, the on-site destruction and subsequent removal of its highly enriched uranium from Iran, and a long-term inspection regime to enforce compliance, Reuters reported, citing a senior US official.

BUT THEN THERE’S THIS

President Donald Trump has given diplomacy every chance but may have no option left but to “demolish” and “destroy” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Republican Senator Rick Scott told Iran International.

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.

…nice hammer that formed this week for silver and just touched the 50 week moving average.   If you look at Williams R, it’s way oversold and the 200 week average sloping upwards still, Jesse Columbo on substack indicates this is still bullish (Silver Academy I think).  I like it, and if the peace deal actually progresses, I think it may mark the bottom for the commodities this week including gold and silver.  Buy some miners down here and set some stop losses at 15%, I think you’ll be very happy.  I bought more today.  You may also notice these are classic double bottom formations….look for GDX to blast thru 100 with volume, and it’s off to the races and back to the highs imho….Have a great weekend everyone, I’ll be enjoying the great American past time watching my 13 year old playing baseball on Saturday and Sunday.  Great way to spend time outdoors!!

And one last tidbit…always have to read the tealeaves…open interest has cratered in Gold and Silver which typically confirms cyclical bottoms in the PM markets.  Silver OI is lowest, or just surpassed the OI level of 2013, that’s 13 years ago.  Like I said, the signs are there if you care to read them.

And for the miners, very nice as well….

Spencer Pratt just dropped this after they stole the LA mayoral election from him — he’s about to drop BOMBSHELLS he was saving for the general election!

“We have some recordings of one of your insulting candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.” ?

“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.”

“You think you can get rid of me that easily?”

“Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”

……….

“I’m going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers.”

“I don’t have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It’s WAR. It’s zero hour for Los Angeles!”

Had a wonderful time. Travelled all over NSW.
Met some interesting people. Hiked the beach trails and hills.
Missed three weeks of metals action and the news. Very relaxing.

Fuel shortage: either they have cognitive dissonance regarding petrol supplies or there will be no shortages. People had concerns early on but not now.
We saw prices as low as $1.61 AUD for regular. AUD=CAD fairly closely. Sydney had higher prices, 1.85 up to 2.10 at the airport. Diesel was more expensive than before the Iran conflict, I was told but the shortages have gone away.
Fertilizer is still a problem.

Met no Albo supporters. He is universally disliked but not as violently as some of us dislike Carnage. Aussies are more laid back.
I believe we have at least one Aussie member on the forum who can fill us in.
Same concerns with migration, housing and increased crime.

The camels in some fields surprised me. Are they feral? Left over from the 1800’s and they were left to go wild and possibly some adopted a camel or two? I was told that helicopter hunts for camels is popular in some regions where they have no natural predators. Just like the Southern US for feral hogs.

Opaquely linking everything that’s unfolding without ever really revealing the manner of these ties.

DAVID BLACKMON HAS A SOBERING INSIGHT INTO “THE DEAL ”

Here it is vital to remember: The people on the Iran side of this negotiation are not civilized human beings in the Western definition. They are fanatics – many of them suicidal fanatics – who view all Westerners as infidels they are obligated by their religion to exterminate from the face of the earth. Such people will never – not ever – make any “deal” with infidels and then follow it in good faith.

It is incredibly naive – and deadly dangerous – to even entertain the thought that they would.

So, expect reality to start setting in – and oil prices to rise again – once the full details of this MOU are made public. My bet is that will not happen until after the financial and oil markets close later today.
