Silver pattern…

Will the Inverted H&S hold from April 27th or 28th?  We should know soon, looking to see if backtest at 74.50 holds.

Apparently, silver was fed a small blue pill…

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the full U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization.

In a historic speech, he exposed the WHO’s failures during COVID and declared that American health policy will no longer answer to unelected foreign officials. This move reclaims national sovereignty, ends U.S. funding, and reshapes global health leadership.

IRAN UPDATE – 04/30/26 PM – Trump reviews Iran military options as Tehran digs out missiles

Summary

  • Trump is weighing new military options on Iran as officials argue the ceasefire ended hostilities for a key War Powers deadline, avoiding immediate need for Congress approval.
  • Iran is accelerating efforts to recover buried missiles and munitions during the ceasefire, NBC reported, as US officials warn Tehran is rebuilding strike capabilities.
  • Trump said Iran is “dying” for a deal and its economy is collapsing, while insisting Tehran will never get a nuclear weapon and the blockade remains effective.
  • Israel’s defense minister said strikes on Iran may resume soon, warning further action could be needed to secure the campaign’s goals.
  • Iran’s internet blackout entered its 63rd day Friday, with most of the public still cut off from the global internet despite limited tiered access.
  • Iran executed 21-year-old karate athlete Sasan Azadvar, arrested during January protests, as the UN says at least 21 people have been executed and more than 4,000 arrested since the war began.

Iran’s Ghalibaf Tells Iranians ‘Unify’ As US Blockade Seeks To ‘Make Us Collapse From Within’

Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who has since the war’s start and prior assassinations of top leaders including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei become the most visible figurehead representing the Islamic Republic to the world, has continued trolling the United States even as President Trump is renewing fresh military strikes amid an uneasy extended ceasefire and ongoing US naval blockade of Iranian ports.

He stated Wednesday that the United States’ naval blockade of the country has a goal to create division and “make us collapse from within.” His message was delivered through state TV and he is warning citizens about “maintaining unity” in the face of this unprecedented economic and military pressure.

Ghalibaf went on to explain that Trump falsely “divides the country into two groups: hardliners and moderates, and then immediately talks about a naval blockade to force Iran into submission through economic pressure and internal discord,” according to more from state media sources.

USA/MEXICO – Feds Charge Sinaloa’s Governor, Senator, Mayor, & Other Top Officials With Running A Narco-State

Federal prosecutors in New York have charged ten current and former senior Mexican government officials — among them the sitting governor of Sinaloa, a sitting federal senator, the mayor of the state capital, and the state’s former secretary of public security — with conspiring to protect the Sinaloa Cartel’s most powerful faction in exchange for millions of dollars in drug money, in what may be the most sweeping corruption indictment ever brought against a sitting government in the Western Hemisphere.

The superseding indictment, filed in the Southern District of New York and unsealed Wednesday, charges all ten defendants with narcotics importation conspiracy — specifically, conspiracy to flood the United States with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine — as well as conspiracy to possess machineguns and destructive devices in furtherance of drug trafficking.

The document does not describe a cartel that corrupted a government. It describes a government that became the cartel’s operating infrastructure.

BREAKING: A Presidential permit has been approved for a new bitumen pipeline that will initially deliver more than half a million barrels per day of Alberta oil to facilities and refineries throughout the United States. This project is a joint venture between two great Canadian and US companies South Bow and Bridger using existing assets.

After years of advocacy from our government, and following the signing of the Canada-Alberta Energy Agreement last year, the federal government has lifted their oil and gas production cap. This means Alberta producers will be able to produce more of the oil that the world needs. It’s incredible to see that work already paying off with announcements like this.

The US is our most important trading partner and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.

Lets get real? Fingers crossed.

Trump to run for President in 2028!

–>Ok I know what you’re thinking!

I’ll walk you through this!

https://x.com/juliedonuts/status/2049910791030100166?s=46&t=dfQQ4wnUYGQ61pB5fEbLVw

We now know that Obama and Clinton and the black hats did plan 2 terms each for Obama 4 + 4 Clinton 4 + 4 . 16 years.
Soon it will emerge with overwhelming evidence that the 2020 election was stolen. That means everything that was done during Joe Biden’s “4 years”, is null and void. The auto pen is not only void but a felony if not treason.
Trump keeps hinting that he will run for a third term. The democrats and libtards lose their shit. No Trump cannot do that they scream.

Well maybe he can. I’m not a U.S. constitutional lawyer.

This scenario may give us a road map of how the next 2 1/2 years plays out.

2016 Trump legitimately wins an election which was already designed to be stolen for Clinton. The military did intervene but only to flip stolen votes back.

Trump term 1.

2020 election – black hats – go all in to steal the election using every trick imaginable. Both electronically and via fraudulent physical ballots.

Trump warns that the election is likely to be stolen, and invokes EO 13848.

Trump legally wins election but it is stolen.

Red folder. PEAD. Presidential Emergency Action Directive. In case of Stolen election – you the U.S. military are to assume control of the country under chapter 11 law of war, incidentally last codified before the 2016 election.

This is what the raid on Mar A Lago was all about

Basically it says, if 2020 election is stolen, you the U.S. military are in control of the U.S. in defence of the US constitution and you will remain in control until all evidence of foreign occupation is removed.

So for 4 years under Biden, the U.S. was actually occupied by a foreign power.
Even if you can make it right, to remove fraudulent ballots, it is still a mess.

Under EO 13848 Trump did win 2020 but it was stolen and so for the years 2020-2024 the U.S. military is in control and operational under PEAD orders from the last duly elected President.

We get to 2024 and with much fanfare Trump wins.

But the enemy still occupies the land. We see this through the corruption of the judiciary and the corruption of the legislative branches

So is Trump really in President or is it still under military control?

I’m going to suggest that Mikitary control under Chapter 11 continues.

If that is the case, then Trump has served only 1 term.

But for libtards, they will point and say, see, see he has served two terms!

We have just had the Supreme Court overrule Democrat gerrymandering. District maps will be redraw. It will go to the lie of the land which will naturally favour conservatives.

We are about to have all the evidence of 2020 election fraud dumped out. Exposing deep ceded corruption. Politicians, judges.

All of Joe Biden’s supposed presidential term will be exposed as fraudulent. Treason

At this point the libtards will scream, well if Trump really did win the 2020 election, and Biden wasn’t legitimate, then Trump should have been President, and that would have been his second term.

Tgst means that Trump could not be elected as President in 2024, and it defaults to Kamala Harris for 2024-

But wait a sec. If Trump used the PEAD in 2020, and Biden was a foreign traitor, then the military is in control.

Then the libtards will say, ok , maybe you’re right. But Trump won 2024. See he has had his two terms!

Not so quick.

Did Trump win an apparent election in 2024? Yes. But was the military still in control? Refer to chapter 11 law of war. In chapter 11 it specifically states the military will continue in control until all vestiges of enemy occupation are removed.

Does the enemy still control large sections of the three branches of the government?

Executive – now controlled by Trump
Judiciary – still compromised
Legislative Branch – still compromised.

What is happening now?

Are the enemy in the judiciary and legislative branches being removed?

If the enemy still has occupation and control of 2/3 of the government branches, then the military under chapter 11 must continue their role under continuity of government.

Right now, Trumps SAVE act is being blocked.

The Supreme Court ruling, and Trumps yet to be announced Presidential Executive Order dealing with a direct national threat will guarantee the mid terms with a massive conservative swing.

This will also remove many enemy combatants from the legislative branch.

After the Mid Terns, the SAVE act will easily pass. Legislative Branch secure. 2027-2028 huge clean out of the judiciary who will need to go back to constitutional grounds.

By 2028, executive branch clean, legislative branch clean, judicial branch clean.

At that point the U.S. military has completed its role of continuity of government and removed the invading force from all levels of government allowing a return of civilian control.

For the period 2020 – 2028, the US will have been under continuity of government and military control.

We get to 2028. How many terms has Trump served as President?

One!

Trump runs effectively for his second term. Wins overwhelmingly and then two years steps down in favor of his vice president

[JFK Jnr (?)]

If this unfolds as suggested and Trump runs for his second term, watch who is his running mate

 

WARSH

Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh, has been APPROVED by the Senate Banking Committee, 13-11

He now moves forward to a FULL VOTE in the US Senate, and Sen. Fetterman has already said he’ll vote for Warsh

Powell’s about done!

They got no Nothing

President Trump accuses fake news like CNN and NYT as “SEDITIOUS” because they keep stumping for Iran

“And if you see CNN, you’d think they’re winning the war. If you read the New York Times, it’s actually seditious, in my opinion. You read the New York Times, you actually think they’re winning the war!”

“I read some of these columnists, but it all starts from the top. It’s a terrible thing. So we’re negotiating with them, and they read how well they’re doing.”

“They’re sitting in a cave, and all their leaders are dead. Everyone’s dead around them. Missiles are all over the place.”

“They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no nothing. We can fly right over the middle of Tehran without being shot at, because they have no anti-aircraft. They have nothing.”

“And they’re reading that they’re winning the war. They’re trying to figure it out. They get the New York Times, I guess, in some form, and they think we’re crazy.”

“But, you know, I’m supposed to be negotiating, and they make you negotiate from weakness, not strength!”

Iran’s New Leader Pledges to Guard Nuclear and Missile Tech – Bloomberg

Iran’s new supreme leader gave a rare statement on Thursday, vowing not to give up the country’s nuclear or missile technologies and signaling Tehran would keep control of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Islamic Republic will “guard” its “advanced technologies” like it does its own borders, Mojtaba Khamenei said in a written statement. It will “secure the Persian Gulf region and dismantle the hostile enemy’s exploitation of this waterway,” he added, referring to the vital strait.

Watch: Migrants Are Literally Clambering Up Embassy Walls In Spain

Welcome To Another Diverse Day In The UK…

Two shocking incidents unfolding on the same day lay bare the consequences of unchecked mass immigration and a multiculturalism experiment gone wrong in Britain.

These two stories—slavery in a “peace” sect’s compound and a terror stabbing met with hand-wringing over police tactics—illustrate the same truth: not every culture assimilates. Some bring practices and mindsets fundamentally at odds with British (and Western) norms of consent, equality, and security.

Open borders and elite denial have consequences. Parallel societies don’t enrich; they fracture. Charity status for groups later raided for slavery doesn’t signal tolerance—it signals institutional blindness.

These are not isolated anomalies. They are symptoms of a deeper failure: importing cultures that reject the very foundations of British society—individual liberty, equality under the law, and protection from exploitation.

UK Gov’t Promses More Social Media “Restrictions”

The head-scratching question is “why?”, and the only answer I can see that makes any sense is that Independent is telling the truth and Australia’s ban doesn’t work –  i.e for its real intended purpose (mass surveillance).  ………..it can only be enforced one way: By mandating age verification for everybody, and using that to introduce digital IDs.

IRAN UPDATE – 04/30/26 – Oil Spikes As Israeli Defense Chief Says ‘Required To Act Again’ In Striking Iran, Achieving Objectives

Summary

  • Israeli Defense Minister Katz: “soon we will need to act again in Iran to ensure that the regime cannot threaten Israel for years to come.” Oil spikes on this and new reports of Israeli defense build-up at ports, air hubs.
  • Not giving up nuclear program: Iran will “guard” its “advanced technologies” like it does its own borders, Mojtaba Khamenei said in a written speech read aloud by state TV. It will “secure the Persian Gulf region and dismantle the hostile enemy’s exploitation of this waterway.”
  • US military teases cutting-edge, not yet tested in battle, hypersonic missiles for Mideast region as CENTCOM head set to brief Trump on further military options at White House.
  • Brent crude for June delivery reached as much as $126 a barrel in trading on Thursday, before easing to $114 – as oil prices have surge to their highest levels since 2022 as Trump mulls a military-enforced Iran blockade extension.

3RD STORY IN TODAYS COFFEE AND COVID

OPERATION ECONOMIC FURY

JEFF CHILDERS

I’ve waited days for top corporate media to pick up this story, but they’ve gone all Mr. Magoo again. Late last week, Reuters thinly reported, “US sanctions wallets tied to Iran, freezing $344 million in cryptocurrency, Bessent says.” The story was so thin it was just one sentence.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-sanctions-wallets-tied-iran-freezing-344-million-cryptocurrency-bessent-says-2026-04-24/

90 SEC CLIP FROM THE WHITEHOUSE X ACCOUNT DIRECT FRO SCOTT BESSENT

https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2049591831957057579?s=20

So far as I can tell—and the facts remain as murky as the water at the Kharg Island dock— the State of Iran owned the seized cryptocurrency. Since crypto’s main purpose is to preserve anonymity (like cash), it was likely used for smuggling, evading international sanctions, funding terror proxies, cybercrimes and ransomware, and other nefarious purposes.

Anyway, Scott Bessent is vacuuming it all up now. He reported yesterday that the total seized is now up to $500 million

Yesterday, Secretary Bessent told Fox Business that the Treasury Department is ramping up “Operation Economic Fury” and is now “sprinting for the finish line.”

Specifically, the US Treasury has found and frozen secret bank accounts owned by IRGC officials, preserving the money “for the Iranian people.” Hilariously, Bessent also announced we are now seizing IRGC officers’ “villas in the South of France and all over the world,” including, unsurprisingly, London. (Because nothing screams ‘Death to the Great Satan!’ quite like yelling it from the balcony of your six-bedroom chateau in Cannes while sipping mimosas and checking your crypto wallet.)

In his bland, straightforward way, Bessent said, “We will track them down,” sounding more like he was announcing a scheduled expansion of Treasury restroom facilities instead of burning up IRGC officials’ bugout bags amidst a war.

This is the key. We’ve learned that the Iranian Republican Guard Corps (IRGC) is a parasitic mega-corporation that has co-opted the elected government of Iran, and uses the apparatus of state to suck blood and treasure out of the Iranian people, all to enrich a secretive class of demented hypocrites who cosplay as religious maniacs but are really violent mobsters with missiles and an army.

You couldn’t possibly imagine a less democratic system of government. It’s not a theocracy. It’s a heavily armed kleptocracy.

Not that any of that troubles our corporate media types. We shouldn’t judge other cultures. But let’s do a thought experiment. Suppose we discovered that all our top Pentagon officials had secret overseas bank accounts stuffed with millions, villas in the South of France, and so on. How would the U.S. media report that? But when it comes to Iran— crickets.

So Operation Economic Fury may not simply be a curious sideshow to the greater war. That, combined with the Trump Blockade, might be the main action. The United States Military has defanged the IRGC’s military capabilities. For proof, just ask yourself— when was the last time Iran lobbed a missile at anyone?

Its oil wells are full and will soon begin losing permanent capacity. Its ports are closed to any kind of foreign trade, especially oil sales. It’s under a naval blockade. Now comes the real leverage— taking the IRGC mobsters’ toys and Swiss bank accounts away. It’s what you might call a “rubber meets road” moment. The IRGC’s ‘mullahs’ constantly brag about how they’ll happily become martyrs if needed.

But … are the anonymous leaders of Iran’s private army willing to become paupers for the cause? That’s the real question.

BUT OF COURSE…TRUMP IS TRAPPED…HE BIT OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW…HE DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN

Ethnic infighting erupts in Canadian military amid influx of non-citizen recruits

Ethnic infighting has erupted at Canadian military basic training amid a massive recent influx of non-citizen recruits, according to a damning leaked internal report.

The Canadian Armed Forces first allowed permanent residents to join in 2022, and then relaxed vetting rules in October 2024, resulting in dramatic rise in foreign recruits. Aptitude tests have also been removed, and candidates can enrol with a set list of approved medical issues, including mental health problems.

But the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report obtained by Juno News, titled “Initial Observations – Impact of Changes to Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting Policies at Basic Training Over 2025”, found the changes had a devastating effect on basic officer training at the Quebec centre.

Happiness

While we have often heard the phrase, that happiness is a state of mind, I never saw the full quote below, nor did I know it came from that great wise man, George Washington.     “Happines depends more upon the internal frame of a persons own mind – than the externals in the world.”

Trump JUST spoke to Putin and said things were positive, and now Trump announces they are looking into reducing our standing army in Germany.

IT’S HAPPENING ?

Just as I hypothesized, Trump is reducing our military footprint in the Eastern Hemisphere, which will lead to normalized relations with Russia and China, and the end to the war in Ukraine.

US Military presence in Germany is essentially the standing deterrent for all of Europe, and is Putin’s biggest threat, if NATO/Ukraine were to draw the US into direct conflict with the US MIL, which he does not want.

Long story short, Trump looking to remove our standing military presence from Germany signals the coming of the end of US involvement in NATO, and thus the end of the war in Ukraine, and potentially the end of the Cold War with Russia that never really ended.

Trump is beginning the process of consolidating our forces in the Western Hemisphere, and resetting the global order.

Extremely good sign.

CLANDESTINE

CENTCOM is looking to deploy a hypersonic missile to the Middle East for “possible use against Iran,” per Bloomberg.

The request would mark the first deployment of its kind, with the U.S. still lagging behind Russia and China in hypersonic missile capability.

The move to deploy the U.S.’s Dark Eagle hypersonic system, still under production and not yet declared operational, by the way, comes after the IRGC reportedly moved its launchers beyond the range of precision strike missiles.
