18 Shocking Facts That Prove The US Economy Is In Far Worse Shape Than Most People Realize

This list, added to the usual symptoms of increasing inflation and rising deficits, doesn’t address the UNDERLYING PROBLEM!  The unbacked currency IS THE PROBLEM.  The hyperinflation is going to accelerate and the ONLY solution, this far down the rabbit hole, is a gold and silver revaluation accompied by going back to sound money.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Either reintroducing gold and silver as money whether directly, or indirectly, and or  by backing the currency with gold and making it convertible, as was the case for most of the US’s existence.          https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/18-shocking-facts-prove-us-economy-far-worse-shape-most-people-realize

Silver Market Tightens as Supply Struggles to Meet Demand

According to the The Silver Institute, preeminent in the global industry for precious metals, the silver market has moved into a multi-year deficit, with ongoing shortages steadily reducing available stockpiles.

At the same time, demand is evolving. Industrial use has softened slightly, particularly in sectors sensitive to rising prices, such as jewelry and solar manufacturing. However, this decline has been offset by a sharp increase in investment demand. Purchases of coins, bars, and exchange-traded products have risen significantly, putting additional pressure on physical availability. This combination of constrained supply and resilient investment demand is tightening the market further.

Overall, the silver market appears to be moving away from its usual cycles and into a more structurally constrained environment

Will This ‘Miracle’ Battery Finally Change Your Mind About EVs? – WSJ

A Finnish startup claims to have perfected a revolutionary new battery. Whether the hype is to be believed, solid-state technology is coming—and it’s a potential disruptor for the entire EV industry.

Meet Donut Lab, a Finnish startup that claims to have created the first production-ready solid-state battery (SSB) for electric vehicle production. The talk of the CES 2026 in Las Vegas, in January, Donut Lab says its battery has an energy density of 400Wh per kilogram—roughly twice that of typical lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in production. The Donut batt can charge to full in five minutes, says the company; has a practically unlimited lifespan (100,000 charging cycles); is unaffected by heat and cold (-30C to 100C); and contains no rare earth, precious metals or flammable liquid electrolytes. With all that, Donut Lab says it will be cheaper to produce than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

“The resistance won’t disappear when we present the proof,” Lehtimäki said in a video presentation. “It will just intensify because this new technology is a threat to the established players in the industry.”

Kaiser Insider Sent Me Internal Guidance Concerning Shots and Medications for Newborns – Aaron Siri

The antithesis of informed consent:

It tells Kaiser employees that the “approach to how we introduce and administer routine newborn … Hepatitis B vaccine” is to “avoid saying ‘it’s optional’ or ‘you can refuse’ unless directly asked” and to tell parents that “we will be giving” instead of asking consent to give. This is the antithesis of informed consent. Yet Kaiser calls it “excellent patient and family care.”

The Training Is Real. They’ve Already Decided. Ontario Doctors Already Being Trained

There is a committee. The Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying AMAD. Reconvened for 2026. Its job, on paper, is to review whether Canada is ready to expand MAID to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness. March 17, 2027 is the deadline. Ten months away. The committee hears from experts. Reports to Parliament, assesses readiness.That’s the story they’re telling you and here’s what they’re not.

While this committee was being reconvened. While the readiness review was supposedly still an open question. The Government of Canada funded and launched the Canadian MAID Curriculum the first nationally accredited, bilingual MAID education program for licensed physicians and nurse practitioners in this country.

Seven modules. Over 2,000 doctors, nurse practitioners, residents, and students trained. One module specifically on MAID and mental disorders. They were training doctors to kill people with mental illness while simultaneously holding hearings about whether they should.

The hearing asks: Should we expand MAID to mental illness? The training says: Here’s how. 10.5 accredited credits. Funded by Health Canada. What exactly is the committee reviewing if the government is already training the providers? Make them answer that.

GOOOD MORNING GOOOOLD TENT

A signals service I built from a four-year research project

Morning Goldtenters,

Bit of an update on something I’ve been building for a while.

Like many here, I lived through the 2008-2011 bull market with the scars to prove it – and watched some life-changing returns evaporate over the years that followed. Following that experience, I decided to use my data-analysis background to run a four-year research project (Theseus) into systematic precious metals timing, working with a professional statistician. That started back in 2020, and has expanded into GoldBuzz INSIDER which launched this weekend. It provides daily investing signals across gold, silver, miners and bitcoin, plus a 20-stock weekly miner portfolio.

Quite a few of you already get the free GoldBuzz newsletter – INSIDER is the paid extension of that work.

It’s been live with beta testers for over a year and just launched publicly yesterday. There’s a founding member discount available for the next week for anyone interested.

Details are at goldbuzz.com/upgrade. Happy to take questions.

EDIT ADDED

In the last precious metals bull market, select miners returned 10-20x. But most investors missed it. They picked the wrong stocks, mistimed their entries, or panicked during corrections and sold at the bottom.

The Same Opportunity is Here Again.
This Time, You Don’t Have to Guess.
“GoldBuzz INSIDER is how I invest my own money.” – Rick Adams, Founder

The Director of the National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard:

The United States border under the Biden-Harris Terrorist Administration was essentially relinquished to the cartels.

The cartels lured in pregnant women, performed illegal caesarean sections, harvested organs, and then sold new born babies.

Every single member of Biden’s cabinet should be designated as domestic terrorists, hunted down, placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, and tried for crimes against the United States government, including crimes against humanity.

The WHO Is Building A Supranational Vaccine Authorization Mechanism

Beyond the damage to sovereignty, the danger in this model is deeper.

“I need to ask someone else to take responsibility for the second part of the approvals process, so that I won’t have a conflict of interest. I’m also working with Bill Gates and the World Health Organization on the vaccine itself.”

This admission of a conflict of interest was made by Prof. Lester Schulman, secretary of the Ministry of Health’s polio committee, in March 2023, during an internal discussion about approving the importation into Israel of a new polio vaccine. The vaccine was developed and promoted by the World Health Organization in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and its approval pathway relied on a new emergency authorization mechanism the WHO has developed in recent years: the EUL (Emergency Use Listing).

The EUL: An Emergency Mechanism or a De Facto Regulatory Infrastructure?

In recent years, the WHO has developed mechanisms that expand its influence beyond recommendations and, in effect, enable it to directly influence regulatory authorization processes within states. The central mechanism is the EUL, an independent WHO emergency procedure that is not part of national authorization systems.

BACKROOM DEALS

While the world watches Hormuz headlines, the real story is in the quiet bilateral deals being signed behind the noise.

On April 15th alone:

Trump announced the permanent opening of the Strait of Hormuz with Chinese cooperation on Iran weapons.

China and the UAE signed a major investment pact to mobilize sovereign wealth fund capital across priority sectors, targeting $300 billion in non-oil trade by 2030.

Japan accelerated its shift away from Middle East oil, locking in parts of a $550 billion bilateral energy program with the US.

Japan, which sourced over 90% of its crude through Hormuz, is permanently diversifying. India is building alternative procurement desks. The UAE is routing more oil through Fujairah, bypassing Hormuz entirely — exports through alternative routes jumped dramatically.

Every one of these deals is bilateral. Nation to nation. Sovereign wealth fund to sovereign wealth fund. Producer to consumer. No multilateral institution. No London intermediary collecting rent. No eurodollar plumbing required.

This is America, Russia, China (ARC) in practice — not a formal alliance, but an emergent architecture where competing powers independently conclude that direct settlement is cheaper, faster, and more secure than routing through an intermediary that weaponizes access when it suits institutional interests.

The Hormuz crisis forced the experiment. Major Asian economies discovered they could source and settle crude through alternative bilateral channels under the worst conditions imaginable. Nobody is going back to the old plumbing voluntarily.

The petrodollar still functions. Oil is still priced in dollars. But the petro-eurodollar settlement layer — the offshore borrowing mechanism that routes through London — is losing flow volume with every bilateral deal signed. The intermediary’s fee structure is being bypassed one handshake at a time.

The signal isn’t in the headlines. It’s in the handshakes.
