TM Great Buy Red Cloud raises target to C$18 (from C$13.25)


https://cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com/1gqhn3n-20211201-GCM-Update-2.pdf





Summary

Gran Colombia Gold changed its name to GCM Mining.
The updated Toroparu PEA confirms the world-class potential of the
project.
Toroparu should reach an average annual production rate of 225,000 toz
gold, at an AISC of $916/toz, over the 24-year mine life.

At a gold price of $1,500/toz, the after-tax NPV(5%) equals $794 million.

GCM Mining remains one of the most undervalued gold miners.

[the cork]

Pseudopandemic

Covid 19 was and is a pseudopandemic. It was the gross exaggeration of the threat posed by a low mortality respiratory illness, comparable to influenza.

The pseudopandemic was a psychological operation (psy-op) designed to terrorise the public. The objective was to accustom the people to draconian system of government oppression by familiarising them with the mechanisms of a biosecurity state.

The pseudopandemic was based upon an influenza like illness which, regardless of its origin, was not and is not a disease which can legitimately be considered the cause of a “pandemic.” The only way it could ever be described as such was by the removal of any reference to mortality from the World Health Organisation’s definition.

COVID 19 is a disease which has a mortality age distribution profile indistinguishable from standard mortality. Unlike influenza, which disproportionately impacts the young, in terms of threat to life, COVID 19 was and is a wholly unremarkable illness.

Were it not for political theatrics and mainstream media propaganda, which began in China, no one, outside of the medical profession and COVID 19 sufferers, would have remarked on this disease.

The illusion of overwhelmed health services was created by massively reducing their capacity and staffing levels while simultaneously reorienting healthcare to treat everyone who presented with a respiratory illness as viral plague carriers.

In reality the pseudopandemic saw unusually low levels of hospital bed occupancy. However, due to the additional policies and procedures heaped upon them, healthcare services were thrown into into disarray.

This was combined with the use of tests, incapable of diagnosing anything, as proof of a COVID 19 “case.” This enabled governments around the world to make absurd claims about the threat level. They relied upon fake science and junk data throughout. As symptomatic illness and resultant disease mortality was relatively low, they asserted that people without any signs of illness (the asymptomatic) were spreading the contagion.

This was abject nonsense. There was no evidence that the asymptomatic infected anyone. Those at risk of severe illness were the small minority of people who already had serious comorbidities, often due to their age.

The mass house arrests (lockdowns) and other measures, such as wearing face masks, were then used to increase the infection risk, to reduce broad levels of population immunity and give the false impression of an extraordinary public health threat. The removal of health care for every other disease, including cancer and ischaemic heart disease, coupled with the health costs of increasing deprivation and immunosuppressant policies, were then exploited to bolster the illusion of a pandemic.

This does not mean that COVID 19 didn’t kill people but those who died of the disease were a small percentage of the total numbers claimed. COVID 19 had no discernible impact upon all-cause mortality. The increase above one of the lowest ever 5 year mortality averages was mainly caused by the withdrawal of health services, as increasing numbers of people died in their own homes or in overburdened care settings, without receiving normal medical attention.

Despite these efforts, mortality in 2020 was still only the 9th highest in the first two decades of the 21st century and one of the lowest age-standardised mortality rates in the last 50 years.

COVID 19 presented virtually no risk to those of working age an none at all to the young. There was no evidence that children were either at or presented any risk. The school closures were part of the pseudopandemic psy-op. They gave the misleading impression of an emergency and provided fraudulent justification for vaccinating children.

The pseudopandemic was planned to lead to the complete transformation of our culture and society. It has irrevocably changed our relationship with governments, has caused catastrophic economic disruption, shutdown global trade and saw millions become reliant on government subsidies. The pseudopandemic was the opening salvo in a global coup d’état.

The new pseudopandemic biosecurity apparatus is designed to control our behaviour as we are forced through a global transformation. Those behind the pseudopandemic intend to change the International Monetary and Financial System (IMFS) and establish global governance in the shape of technocracy. Technocracy is a neofeudal, totalitarian system based upon communitarian principles.

We will be offered the illusion of participatory democracy through our required participation and belief in “civil society.” Civil society will be a “stakeholder” in the Technocracy. However, civil society will only be allowed to pursue polices set at the global level.

Applied psychology was used throughout the pseudopandemic to fix our “choice environment.” We were conditioned to believe that following the rules was the responsible and moral choice. In reality our behaviour was being deliberately altered to ensure our compliance with the diktats of the biosecurity state, preparing society for the transition to technocracy.

The new global IMFS is built upon carbon trading and a $120 trillion carbon bond market is currently under construction. Assets are being defined in terms of their Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics which rate investments depending upon their environmental, social and governance (ESG) score.

These metrics have been established by the World Economic Forum working in partnership with the central banks, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and other stakeholder capitalists, such as the investment firm BlackRock.

The global system of central banks, headed by the BIS, are “going direct” by directly funding government policy. They have linked monetary policy to fiscal policy which means ultimate control of all government spending by the BIS. The Financial Services Board of the BIS regulates ESG’s and determines the value of sustainable financial assets.

In this way, the global technocracy will facilitate the continuation of crony capitalism, as only the right stakeholders will receive the approved ESG rating. Those who don’t will not be able to raise the investment capital they need and will be forced out of business.

“Going direct” began before the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a global pandemic. All of the economic and financial responses to the pseudopandemic, such as furlough and business support packages, were agreed as part of the “going direct” plan in August 2019.

The so called economic stimulus of Quantitative Easing (QE) is a fraud. It is based upon the unbridled monetisation of debt on an unprecedented scale. Going direct means that the toxic junk assets of the financial institutions have been taken on to the balance sheets of the central banks. Thus creating unimaginable levels of public debt that can never, and will never, be repaid.

The QE money, created out of absolutely nothing, has been pumped into the financial markets for the continued enrichment of the right stakeholders. The vast expansion of the money supply will shortly lead to hyperinflation. The mass unemployment that will occur as a result of the austerity, caused both by the staggering levels of debt and our transition to a new IMFS, will create stagflation.

The new net zero carbon economy will mean permanent austerity for the majority. The Technate will provide a universal basic income (UBI), or some variation of the concept, to be paid in Central Bank Digital Currency (CDBC). This will mean that no one will have their own money, other than the chosen stakeholders, as all transactions will be monitored and controlled by the central banks.

Those who oppose the neofeudal authority of the corporate, stakeholder Technate and refuse to comply with the imposition of biosecurity obligations will have their CBDC restricted or switched off. The pseudopandemic has established the framework of the biosecurity state that will control all our lives. The vaccine passports are the gateway to full biometric identity for every citizen in the new normal Technate.

We will be required to show our biometric ID on demand. Access to goods and services will be monitored and restricted as desired by the Technate. UBI and CBDC combined with biometric ID will ensure our compliance. The central planners of the Technate will oversee the AI controlled system which will automatically limit the freedoms of those who defy the rules decreed by the stakeholder capitalists.

Money, as we currently understand it, is no longer required by those behind the pseudopandemic. The net zero carbon economy enables them to seize control of the “global commons.” This means that they will have dominion over all of the Earth’s natural resources. All land, the oceans, the atmosphere and even space is being converted into assets via Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics.

Not only will we have no money of our own, we will be unable to access the resources we need to survive without permission from the Technate. While this system of technocracy has been planned for more than a century, it was the financial collapse in 2008 that led the pseudopandemic planners to increase the pace of transformation. The monetisation of debt had long been the source of their authority but this IMFS was unsustainable. As all money was debt, its eventual collapse was inevitable. It passed the point of no return in 2008.

With their going direct plan in place, the stage was set for the pseudopandemic. SARS-CoV-2 provided the perfect opportunity and the core conspirators behind the pseudopandemic had trained extensively in readiness for the operation. We were then barraged by a mainstream media propaganda campaign and military’s information warfare units were deployed to control our “choice environment.”

Scientific and medical doubts were censored as the suspension of normal democratic processes was exploited to introduce the biosecurity state. Laws were passed to allow government to commit any crime it wished in pursuit of stakeholder capitalist sustainable development goals. Laws to end the right of protest and censor free speech are moving unopposed through the legislature as national governments, who are no more than stakeholder partners within the new normal technocracy, prepare us for the coming Technate.

For the core conspirators of the pseudopandemic this is the realisation of their long held dream of global governance. They are steeped in the mythology of eugenics and population control. Once they have total control of the global commons they will no longer need us as consumers and are intent upon significant population reduction.

As insane as this all sounds the evidence, explored in pseudopandemic, is overwhelming. We are facing global neofeudalism unless we act now. Herein lies our hope.

The core conspirators have no real power. It is an illusion that they are desperate to maintain. They invest billions in propaganda, hybrid warfare and security systems because they are terrified that we will realise what they are doing.

Their plan can only succeed if we believe their lies and comply with their orders. If we don’t there is nothing they can do about it.

We can reset the world.

There are 31 minerals listed that are “are critical for the sustainable economic success of Canada and our allies” and to “position Canada as the leading mining nation”.

They include nickel, manganese, cobalt, potash, rare earth elements, uranium and lithium, among others. The reference to “our allies” is also significant as the Canadian government is cooperating with the US on a joint action plan to secure North American access to critical minerals.

NOBODY NEEDED TO DIE - Fauci knew about HCQ in 2005

Fauci has known for 15 years that chloroquine and it’s even milder derivative hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will not only treat a current case of coronavirus (“therapeutic”) but prevent future cases (“prophylactic”). So HCQ functions as both a cure and a vaccine.

That’s the problem. It is safe, inexpensive, and it works. It’s been around since 1934.

Gold Smashed Under $1300 & Silver Hammered Below $17
Posted on September 21, 2017 by The Doc

UPDATE: Thursday 9/21 at 7:17 a.m. EST, paper gold & paper silver dumps send the precious metals below support levels…

Thursday Morning Update:

Gold falls through $1300 on a low volume morning/big sell order paper dump:




Silver was also hit and pushed under $17:




Here’s the gold, silver and the US dollar on the morning after Hurricane Yellen:




Reported Yesterday Post-FOMC:

This morning there was this:

CME GROUP

SORRY ... We are experiencing technical difficulties. Our team is working on the issue and we will be back soon.

Probably nothing…

Other than a little set-up for this:




Cause, you know, 25,000 contracts in five minutes ($3,287,500,000 in paper gold) seems normal:





There’s This from Zero Hedge:

Today’s the day. On Nov 25, 2008 The Fed announced it would begin buying assets for its own account to save the world. In Oct 2014, The Fed ended its QE3 buying program but continued to reinvest the proceeds to maintain its $4.4 trillion balance sheet. Today, Janet Yellen announced the balance sheet will be allowed to normalize, with reinvestments slowed/stopped starting in October.

Headlines:

*FED: HURRICANES UNLIKELY TO ALTER ECONOMY’S COURSE MEDIUM TERM
*FED: JOB MKT STRENGTHENED, ECONOMIC ACTIVITY RISING MODERATELY
*FED KEEPS RATES UNCHANGED, PLANS BALANCE-SHEET RUNOFF IN OCT.
*FED FORECASTS STILL SIGNAL ANOTHER 2017 HIKE, 3 MORE IN 2018
*FED REPEATS RISKS TO OUTLOOK APPEAR ROUGHLY BALANCED
*FED SAYS FOMC VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS
*FOUR FED OFFICIALS SEE NO MORE 2017 HIKES, UNCHANGED FROM JUNE (12/16 see another rate hike – market odds only 50%)

The Fed cut long-term rates:

*FED ESTIMATE OF LONGER-RUN FUNDS RATE 2.8% VS 3% IN JUNE

Here are the maturing assets that will not be reinvested over the coming months…



So, up to $50bn per month reductions.

Many market participants appears to believe that The Fed has given investors plenty of notice that they would begin to unwind their balance sheet and so the actual event will be like “watching paint dry.” This seems more than a little disingenuous given the great levels of confidence embued into the actual QE process to save the world.

As one wit on Twitter noted, “If I tell you everyday for 6 months that I am going to cut off your head on 9/20… you are prepared, but how will you react on 9/21?”

We shall see.

Since the July FOMC Meeting, gold is the biggest gainer as the dollar loses ground:



And here it is straight from Yellen herself with all of the artificial flavors and perservatives a person could ever want in a can of Fedspeak Soup: (See link at link below)

Double Morning Paper DUMP: Gold & Silver ON SALE
Posted on September 13, 2017 by The Doc

9600 gold contracts sold in nine minutes pre-market, then another 4,200 in two minutes. Silver is under constant attack right now…

Well that escalated quickly:





Silver is hit with a steady barrage, but putting it all in perspective:







Fundamental news being reported right now is downright terrible.

Syria is a mess:

from Zero Hedge

Bombshell Report Catches Pentagon Falsifying Paperwork For Weapons Transfers To Syrian Rebels

A new bombshell joint report issued by two international weapons monitoring groups Tuesday confirms that the Pentagon continues to ship record breaking amounts of weaponry into Syria and that the Department of Defense is scrubbing its own paper trail. On Tuesday the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) produced conclusive evidence that not only is the Pentagon currently involved in shipping up to $2.2 billion worth of weapons from a shady network of private dealers to allied partners in Syria – mostly old Soviet weaponry – but is actually manipulating paperwork such as end-user certificates, presumably in order to hide US involvement.

The OCCRP and BIRN published internal US defense procurement files after an extensive investigation which found that the Pentagon is running a massive weapons trafficking pipeline which originates in the Balkans and Caucuses, and ends in Syria and Iraq. The program is ostensibly part of the US train, equip, and assist campaign for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF, a coalition of YPG/J and Arab FSA groups operating primarily in Syria’s east). The arms transfers are massive and the program looks to continue for years. According to Foreign Policy’s (FP) coverage of the report:
The Department of Defense has budgeted $584 million specifically for this Syrian operation for the financial years 2017 and 2018, and has earmarked another $900 million of spending on Soviet-style munitions between now and 2022. The total, $2.2 billion, likely understates the flow of weapons to Syrian rebels in the coming years.

But perhaps more shocking is the following admission that Pentagon suppliers have links with known criminal networks, also from FP:
According to the report, many of the weapons suppliers — primarily in Eastern Europe but also in the former Soviet republics, including Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Ukraine — have both links to organized crime throughout Eastern Europe and spotty business records.

The sheer amount of material necessary for the Pentagon program — one ammunition factory announced it planned to hire 1,000 new employees in 2016 to help cope with the demand — has reportedly stretched suppliers to the limit, forcing the Defense Department to relax standards on the materials it’s willing to accept.
It is likely that the organized crime association is the reason why the Pentagon has sought to alter its records. In addition, the sheer volume of weaponry continuing to ship to the Syrian battlefield and other parts of the Middle East means inevitable proliferation among unsavory terror groups – a phenomenon which has already been exhaustively documented in connection with the now reportedly closed CIA program to topple the Syrian government. The associations and alliances among some of the Arab former FSA groups the DoD continues to support in the north and east remains fluid, which means means US-supplied weapons will continue to pass among groups with no accountability for where they end up.

One of the authors of the OCCRP/BIRN report, Ivan Angelovski, told Foreign Policy that, “The Pentagon is removing any evidence in their procurement records that weapons are actually going to the Syrian opposition.” The report is based on internal US government memos which reveal that weapons shipment destination locations have been scrubbed from original documents.

And North Korea is front-and-center:

from Zero Hedge:

North Korea has responded to the toughest, if watered down, United Nations Security Council sanctions ever imposed against the isolated country with its most strident rhetoric yet.

In its first official response to the new resolution, North Korea’s foreign ministry released a statement deriding the sanctions as an act of “heinous provocation,” saying the new economic restrictions only strengthened its desire to build nuclear weapons. We will “follow this road at a faster pace without the slightest diversion until this fight to the finish is over,” Bloomberg reported.

“The adoption of another illegal and evil ‘resolution on sanctions’ piloted by the U.S. served as an occasion for the DPRK to verify that the road it chose to go down was absolutely right,” the ministry said, according to KCNA. “The DPRK will redouble the efforts to increase its strength to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and right to existence.”
The resolution is “a product of heinous provocation aimed at depriving the DPRK of its legitimate right to self-defense and completely suffocating its state and people through a full-scale economic blockade,” the statement went on.

The country once again asserted its right to self-defense, adding that the country’s nuclear push was ‘absolutely right,’” according to the Financial Times.

Not to mention, US is threatening to throw China out of SWIFT, Twitter is thowing it’s weight at the White House, half o the country is dealing with a massive disaster and Austria is selling 100-year bonds.

Seems reasonable to sell gold and silver then…

Bank at the Heart of EVERY BANKING SCANDAL Issues Major Warning
Posted on September 9, 2017 by The Doc


Simon Black is keeping close tabs on the bank that gets plenty of bail-outs, favoritism, and key influence of critical government cabinet appointments worldwide. Now, the “World’s most powerful bank” has issued a major warning…

From Simon Black the Sovereign Man

In 1869, a 48-year old Jewish immigrant from the tiny village of Trappstadt in Germany’s Bavaria region hung a shingle outside of his small office in lower Manhattan to officially launch his new business.

His name was Marcus Goldman, and the business he started, what’s now known as Goldman Sachs, has become the preeminent investment bank in the world with nearly $1 trillion in assets.

They didn’t get there by winning any popularity contests.

Goldman Sachs has been at the heart of nearly every major banking scandal in recent history.

The company has settled lawsuits on countless charges, ranging from exchange rate manipulation, stock price manipulation, demanding bribes from their own clients, front-running retail customers, and just about every shady business practice that would put money in their pockets.

Yet throughout it all, Goldman Sachs has been protected from any serious punishment by its friends in highest offices of government.

Four out of the last eight US Treasury Secretaries, including the current one, have formerly been on the payroll of Goldman Sachs.

Three current Federal Reserve Bank presidents are Goldman Sachs alumni.

The current president of the European Central Bank and the current head of the Bank of England are both former Goldman Sachs employees.

You get the idea.

On its face, there’s nothing wrong with government staffing its departments with top executives from the private sector; taxpayers would probably rather have someone who knows what s/he’s doing behind the desk rather than some random guy off the street.

But the consequent favoritism that results from this revolving door is blatant and repulsive.

Case in point: in 2008 when the financial system was going up in flames and most banks were suffering enormous losses, the government orchestrated a sweetheart bailout deal, of which Goldman was the primary beneficiary.

Goldman stood to lose billions of dollars from its bad investments in insurance giant AIG (which was going bankrupt).

Instead, Goldman was repaid 100 cents on the dollar, courtesy of the US taxpayer. And that’s not an isolated case.

The point is that Goldman Sachs is deeply embedded across the entire economy, nearly every major western government, and the most important financial markets in the world.

So when the bank’s CEO says that financial markets are too expensive, it’s probably time to start paying attention.

That’s exactly what happened yesterday at the Handelsblatt business conference in Frankfurt, Germany– Goldman Sachs’ CEO told the audience bluntly that world financial markets “have been going up for too long.”

And it’s true. Many major stock markets around the world are near all-time highs. Bond markets are near all-time highs. Property markets are near all-time highs.

Insolvent governments that have a history of defaulting on their debts (like Argentina) are able to issue bonds with maturity dates of ONE HUNDRED YEARS at laughably small interest rates.

Companies which perpetually lose money are seeing their stock prices soar to continual new heights.

Interest rates in many parts of the world are still negative.

And whereas the average length of a ‘bull market,’ in which asset prices rise, is just over 5 years, the current bull market has been going for 8 ½ years.

That makes it one of the longest in the history of financial markets.

There are now legions of seasoned analysts, traders, and investment bankers working on Wall Street who have literally never experienced a down year.

Little by little, a few prominent voices in finance have started to express concerns about the state of financial markets.

Yesterday’s comments by Goldman’s CEO was only the latest. Though given his status as THE market and economic insider, his remarks are perhaps the most noteworthy.

In fairness, no one has a crystal ball, especially when it comes to financial markets. Not even the CEO of Goldman Sachs.

But if these guys are telling the world that the market is overheated, you can probably imagine they’ve already started selling.

UPDATE: Gold & Silver Refiners INSIDE MIAMI STORM SURGE ZONES

... Although Miami may have a reputation for glitz and bling, few people realize it is one of the hubs for the nation’s gold trade.

Last year — for the first time — gold was both the top import and export from the Miami Customs District, which includes airports and seaports from Palm Beach County to Key West. But the reality is most of the gold entered and left via Miami International Airport.

More gold arrived in Miami than any other U.S. customs district last year and it ranked third in outbound shipments of gold. The most common routes take the glittery metal from mines in Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia and Peru and the gold trading center of Curacao, to Miami and then on to Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and the Dominican Republic.

South Florida is home to not only one of the largest precious metal refineries in North America — Republic Metals Corp. in Opa-locka — but it’s also a hub for bullion trading as well as assaying, refining, logistics and financing operations.

Mutiny “For” The Bounty?
by Bill Holter | Sep 7, 2017

Posted September 6th, 2017 at 5:45 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.


China recently announced they will trade oil for yuan “backed” by gold. The story has gotten some press (none of it mainstream mind you), and many have questions as to what it really means. While quite complicated as a whole, when you break this down into pieces I believe it is a quite simple and logical end to Bretton Woods.

For a background, China has had an exchange open for about a year where gold can be purchased with yuan, though the volumes so far have been miniscule to this point. China has also been all over the world inking trade deals (in yuan) and investing in all sorts of resources from oil to gold to grains, they have made no secret about this. With the most recent example here. They have trade arrangements and treaties with Russia, Iran and many other non Western nations. They have also “courted” many Western nations privately (remember their meeting with the King of Saudi Arabia?) and actually lured many with their “Silk Road” plans via the AIIB which was huge news last year (but nearly forgotten by Americans at this point?). We also know China has been a huge importer of gold for the last 4-5 years and done so publicly via Shanghai receipts and deliveries.

So what exactly does “oil for yuan” mean? In my opinion, China is basically leading a “mutiny FOR the bounty” (we’ll explain this shortly). The only things holding the dollar up from outright death for many years has been the oil trade (and other trade commerce) between nations and settled in dollars. Anyone wanting to buy oil had to first buy dollars in order to pay for the trade. Anyone getting out of step and suggesting they would accept currency other than dollars was dealt with swiftly and harshly (think Saddam and Mohamar). In other words, the U.S. military “enforced” the deal Henry Kissinger made with the Middle East (lead by Saudi Arabia) where ALL oil was settled in dollars. International trade settlement alone supported the dollar after the Nixon administration defaulted on its promise to exchange one ounce of gold for $35.

China is now suggesting THEY will be the ones to trade oil and not use the dollar for settlement. Instead, settlement will be in yuan. But why now? I believe for one of two reasons or more likely both. First, and as we have recently spoken about, it very well may be that the US. military technology has been cracked or leap frogged. It is looking like a distinct possibility and if so, China/Russia now have less fear of U.S. military “retribution”.

The other possibility pertains to gold. We have no way of knowing whether or not the “bottom of the barrel” as far as gold reserves is in sight but we can have a pretty good idea. Physical demand for gold has exceeded mine supply by some 1,500 tons for the last 20 years, “Scrap” supply can not have made up the shortfall. The only place the gold to supply for delivery can have come from are Western (think Ft. Knox) vaults. If the Chinese know their “supplier” of gold is at or near zero, this could also explain “why now”. My bet is both, military technology AND lack of gold supply are at work here.

The next question is this, does China want to become the world’s reserve currency? I do not think so as they have seen economies of the issuers of the reserve currency destroyed time after time throughout history. Rather, China wants to lead the parade away from the dollar or at least steer it. Whether via a larger slice of the SDR pie, or another as yet to be introduced currency I do not know.

What we do know: the U.S. is broke and very likely nearly out of gold. The U.S. has “led” the world with an iron fist and trampled many in its wake …pissing off nations all the while over the last 20+ years in particular. China knows this and also knows the rest of the world will follow them just as school kids will follow the one who stands up to the school bully. Besides, on the surface it certainly looks like better (more fair) trade and settlement terms for anyone who goes along.

Wrapping this up, we need to know “what” all this means? Most importantly it means the world will have an alternative to settling in dollars …which means less overall demand for dollars. This alone will weaken the dollar much further than the huge move we have already seen. A weaker dollar will mean much higher prices (inflation) for the imported goods we no longer manufacture at home. There is a bigger problem here that few are thinking of yet. How will the U.S. settle trade if the dollar becomes so weak it becomes shunned …AND we have no gold for international settlement left? This is a very serious question and one pertaining directly to the standard of living for Americans.

Answering the question as to the meaning of “mutiny for the bounty”, this is simple. You can think of “bounty” as “prosperity” if you will. Prosperity in today’s world means you produce goods and trade, trade, trade! By and large I believe the world wants peace and prosperity …which go hand in hand and are not mutually exclusive. If the world is offered a “more fair” way to settle trade, will they go for it? You bet! Especially if they are offered “cover” or protection from the U.S. military …for trading in a currency they deem more fair than dollars!

So it seems to me, China is leading a world that is ready to follow in a direction away from dollars. As for gold, it will explode in price in terms of a weakening dollar but there is potentially more. China without ANY DOUBT is THE largest holder of gold on the planet. It is for this reason China now has the ability to “price” gold wherever they want to. In other words, China can mark the price of gold to the moon which will do several things. It will make them the wealthiest nation on the planet while at the same time making it extremely expensive and difficult for anyone to catch up by amassing their own gold horde.

As to the yuan becoming gold backed, I doubt it in reality. I highly doubt they will ever “exchange” their current gold horde. It is more likely they will only exchange further gold accumulated from this point forward but that is a story for another day.

We have speculated for several years that China might try to supplant the dollar. It now makes sense and one would have to wonder why they wouldn’t lead the mutiny if they were to become the new captain?

Standing watch,

Bill Holter

INVESTORS RETURN: U.S. Silver Eagle Sales Surge Over Past Two Days
Steve St. Angelo
August 31, 2017 - 10:34pm


While interest and sentiment in the precious metals have been depressed compared to the preceding month, this all changed during the past few days. This trend change is particularly the case for silver. Even though Silver Eagle sales have been much weaker this year, positive signs show that investors still believe in acquiring the shiny metal when fear and uncertainty enter into the markets.

Although, Silver Eagle sales for Jan-Aug 2017 are nearly 50% lower than they were during the same period last year. I believe the biggest factor that hurt Silver Eagle sales was the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President. Many individuals in the Alternative Media think that because Trump is in the Whitehouse versus Hillary Clinton, it translates to a lot less FEAR as it pertains to the control by the elite. Thus, the motivation to continue purchasing precious metals, bulk food, guns-ammo and survival goods has diminished considerably since the election in November.

However, when serious geopolitical events arise, investors still want to rush into owning more gold and silver. And they did so in a BIG WAY over the past few days.

According to the updates on the U.S. Mint website, Silver Eagle sales surged by 300,000 on Monday, August 28th and another 300,000 on Tuesday, August 29th:



As we can see, Silver Eagle sales for the first three weeks of August were only 425,000, the slowest trend compared to all the previous months. But, after the N. Korean nuclear threat, the massive flooding in Houston Texas, and the U.S. debt ceiling issue over the past week, the U.S. Mint sold 600,000 Silver Eagles in two days, surpassing the 425,000 four-week total (Aug 1st-25th).

Again, the U.S. Mint sold 300,000 Silver Eagles on Monday, August 28th and another 300,000 on Tuesday, August 29th. They may have another update today for the past two days, but sometimes they wait until the next month to list those sales.

Regardless, that is a great deal of Silver Eagles sales over those two days. I would imagine the crazy events over the past week were instrumental in pushing up not only the silver price but also demand for Silver Eagles.

What is also extremely interesting about the recent U.S. Mint Gold and Silver Eagle sale figures, is that the silver to gold buying ratio is now above the 100 to 1 ratio. The U.S. Mint sold 1,025,000 Silver Eagles vs. 9,500 oz of Gold Eagles in August (so far). Thus, the Silver to Gold Eagle sales ratio is now 108 to 1. Which means, investors are purchasing a great deal more Silver Eagles than Gold Eagles during these tumultuous geopolitical, natural disaster and upcoming financial events.

It will be interesting to see what happens with precious metals demand and prices when the U.S. debt ceiling debate becomes an issue next month. Also, there is speculation that there will be a significant correction in the broader stock markets this fall. If we do see a significant correction in the broader markets, I would imagine we will see a surge in the price and demand of gold and silver.

This is exactly what happened to the precious metals at the beginning of 2016 when the Dow Jones fell 2,000 points in a relatively short period. In just two months as the Dow Jones sold off just 2,000 points, the silver price increased 17%, and gold jumped 20%:



While the overly-inflated U.S. stock market could continue to rise even higher, at some point, it will suffer a substantial correction. Because the U.S. govt has been propping up the markets, when this correction finally arrives, it will likely be the BIG ONE.

Thus, it is important to own precious metals to protect against falling paper asset values. Furthermore, this will only be PHASE 1 of the upcoming U.S. economic and financial collapse. The market correction will be the WARNING LIGHT. However, most won’t pay attention to this warning, so business, as usual, will continue for a while longer

When the REAL CRASH comes… then if you don’t hold a good portion of your wealth in precious metals, you will wish you had.

The bluff will finally be called…
by Bill Holter | Aug 30, 2017

This was written for JSMineset subscribers and published Tuesday. David Schectman is undergoing a medical procedure and asked if I could publish a couple of articles in his absence. I gladly obliged as we still have close ties between Miles Franklin and JSMineset. If you enjoy this, please consider subscribing here https://www.jsmineset.com/membership-account/membership-levels/ .

A little over four years ago, gold and silver were blasted with sales from “the Jolly Green Giant” that caused major price declines. If you recall, this happened immediately after a closed meeting between Obama, the Treasury secretary and the heads of many banks and brokers. We wrote about it at the time and discussed the outsized (and naked) sales on COMEX, concentrated in very short timeframes that actually came in waves. Since then, we have seen a half dozen of these events each year and always coordinated with key “technical” levels. In other words, the sales were a very large paintbrush used to paint the charts to display the “official” all is well picture.

The outsized sales always worked to depress price until Friday.

Friday saw our Green Giant again enter the COMEX floor to dump 2 million gold ounces and 50 million silver ounces. This amounted to about 2.5% of annual global gold production and about 6% of annual global silver production …in ONLY TWO MINUTES! In perspective, the COMEX holds 735,000 gold ounces and 38 million silver ounces in their dealer (deliverable) inventories. Let’s call this $1 billion and $650 million worth which is completely laughable in a world where $5-10 billion takeovers are done every single day.

As we pointed out last week, the dollar was used (“forced”) on the world for the last 40++ years. It was “forced” by our military plain and simple. If you don’t believe this, ask the ghosts of Saddam, Khadaffi and other deposed/dead leaders who tried to break away from using the dollar? But recently it looks as if our military may have been technologically neutered based on the recent naval “mishaps”.

My point is this, we may not have had a COMEX run in the past for two reasons, 1. for fear of military retribution. 2. because why upset the apple cart as long as gold is still being delivered? But the equation is changed if the dog has had its teeth pulled and is running low on deliverable metal. We have no way to know for sure if the bottom of the barrel is in view but we do know for sure it has been over 20 years where physical demand has far outstripped global production plus scrap supply. We are much closer to Western gold running out today than any time prior based on supply/demand basics.

Our naval ships being rammed and buzzed are a giant middle finger which has followed unprecedented dollar sales as evidenced by the FOREX dollar waterfall. The final middle finger will cost less than $2 billion to gobble up the woefully low metal available that has represented “strength” to this point. COMEX will be broken because it is a “broken” concept to start with. Argue this all you want but then explain how 500 contracts can be backed by only one single ounce?

Please understand we are in a war where shots fired are financial. The U.S. is broke without argument and fighting a financial war where we could always use the final threat of military action. If the military has been defanged then the end game to our Ponzi has finally arrived because “forcing” new money into the scheme is no longer viable.

We have asked readers to imagine a world where “credit” is unavailable. We asked this because it is exactly where we are headed. Without the benefits of free issuance of the global reserve currency, credit in reality will evaporate and no longer be forwarded to Uncle Sam. Quite simply, we will need to adjust our lifestyles down to what we actually produce. A 50% drop in goods available (as everything is now imported) will be a rosy scenario. ALL sides of the equation will break. People will lose savings and not have funds to purchase the fewer goods available (produced here and not imported) that actually get to market with a distribution system in gridlock! Get ready to do with less …or without.

As for the metals, the world is clearly (being led by China) moving towards cash markets and away from paper markets. The implosion of COMEX will come swiftly and possibly with no warning at all. It could be they receive an “unfillable” order and know delivery will be demanded. The rules will change or they will simply end the contract …because it is a contract that cannot perform or be honored.

We have lived a credit fueled fantasy lifestyle that lasted so long, “normal” or living within ones means is not even a distant memory. We are very soon to see the “bluff” of the U.S. called and will include the biggest bluff of all …gold! You will be told “it won’t happen …because it hasn’t happened”. This is very dangerous thinking and mostly dangerous to you if you believe it. The U.S. has run roughshod on the world for years and is now in a very weakened state. If you cannot see this then no one can help you. Think back to your school days when the “bully” was in a weak position? He was sucker punched and even piled on by the geeky guy with glasses in the band. He was not liked and people were happy to see him fall. Similar to the world’s view of the U.S. today?

The stakes are very high for you to understand this writing. I say this because your understanding or non understanding will affect how you, AND your children/grandchildren live out their lives. You either understand and see through ALL the lies we are fed today, or you don’t. You absolutely must think for yourself and know that no one other than you …is going to protect you!

The biggest laugh is those who say “the government will never let it happen” …I have news for you, they are the ones responsible for it!

As an addendum, the dollar is continuing to break down while gold/silver are breaking out to the upside. This may be your warning, once control is lost, the unwind will be rapid!

Standing watch,

(negative 0.64%)Negative Interest Rates Have Come to America

MSM says “gold pays no interest”, but what they don’t get is “no interest” beats “negative interest” every day of the week…

By Simon Black via Sovereign Man

One of the truly mind-boggling absurdities in modern finance has been the creation of ‘negative interest rates’ around the world.

Negative interest rates are particularly prominent in Europe.

Starting back in 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) slashed its main interest rate to below zero.

One bizarre effect of this policy is that some banks have passed on these negative interest rates to their retail depositors.

This trend has persisted across Europe, Japan, and many other parts of the world.

Yet at least Americans were able to breathe a sigh of relief that negative interest rates hadn’t crossed the Atlantic.

Well, that’s not entirely true.

Recently I was reading through Bank of America’s most recent annual report; it’s filled with some shocking facts about the -real- level of wealth in the Land of the Free… which I’ll tell you more about next week.

But here’s one of the things that caught my eye: Bank of America has $592.4 billion in deposits from retail customers, i.e. regular folks who bank at BOA.

And according to its annual report, BOA paid its retail depositors an average interest rate of 0.04% last year.

Seriously. That’s a tiny, laughable amount of interest. But hey, at least it’s positive.

That 0.04% average rate means the bank paid its retail depositors a total of $236 million in interest.

Yet at the same time, Bank of America charged those very same retail depositors $4.1 BILLION in fees.

So in total, small depositors forked over a net sum of $3.8+ billion to Bank of America last year for the privilege of holding their money at the bank.

Based on the bank’s total consumer deposits of $592.4 billion, it’s as if the bank had charged its customers a negative interest rate of 0.64%.

What’s the point?

It’s one thing to pay fees to a bank that will safeguard your capital and act in the most conservative way possible.

People pay fees to storage companies to safeguard their wine collections, baseball card collections, all sorts of stuff.

We even pay fees for safety deposit boxes to store important documents.

So in principle there’s nothing wrong with paying a bank a reasonable fee to safeguard your money.

But that’s not what banks do.

They use our savings to speculate on whatever the latest investment fad of the day happens to be… whether it’s sub-prime auto loans, collateralized debt obligations, or some exotic derivative that no one understands.

Your savings are not sitting in a vault being guarded by burley men with shotguns.

To be frank, we have no idea what they’re doing with our money.

And it hardly seems worth paying the bank to let them gamble with your hard-earned savings.

We’re talking about an industry, after all, where hardly a month goes by without some major scandal.

They’ve been caught red-handed opening phony accounts, manipulating interest rates, fixing exchange rates, front-running their customers, etc.

Earlier this week, in fact, the CEO of Wells Fargo announced that more bad news of a major scandal would soon hit the news headlines.

It never stops.

Why does anyone continue to have confidence in these people… AND pay them… when there’s absolutely zero doubt that they cannot be trusted?

There are MUCH easier options. For one, consider holding at least a portion of your savings in cash. And I mean physical cash.

Buy a safe (they’re cheap) and become your own banker. Eliminate the corrupt middleman who stands between you and your money.

Worst case, you save money. No more fees. No more being treated like a criminal terrorist.

And what are you missing out on? 0.04% interest. Not much of an argument there.
