“A chart of the Weimar experience to start off 2026!”
“the chart below serves as an important reminder of the extreme volatility gold experienced during the Weimar period from 1914 to 1925.”
what i have been saying as well. i peg us at about 1923 just about to enter the most destructive phase of it over 2026.

It’s hard to ignore what’s happening with silver recently.
What fascinates me is how few are interpreting this move through a hyperinflationary lens.
Instead, the prevailing narrative is that prices are overstretched and due for mean reversion — a view I strongly disagree with.
The chart below serves as an important reminder of the extreme volatility gold experienced during the Weimar period from 1914 to 1925.
From a price-behavior standpoint, the resemblance is hard to ignore, despite obvious differences in today’s political and economic environment.
Let me be clear:
Silver is not making new highs because miners are recklessly deploying capital or because supply is surging.
In fact, we’re seeing the opposite.
There have been no major discoveries, no meaningful supply response, while demand continues to rise structurally, all while a monetary crisis quietly builds.
This is the kind of price behavior typically observed in emerging markets when confidence in the currency is eroding.

Russia evacuates diplomats’ families from Venezuela as US seizes oil tankers
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has begun evacuating the families of diplomats from Venezuela, a European intelligence official told AP on Monday, as the United States pursues its third sanctioned oil tanker in the Caribbean and President Donald Trump convenes senior national security officials at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The evacuations, which started Friday and include women and children, come as Russian officials assess the situation in Venezuela in what the intelligence source described as “very grim tones.” The withdrawals signal heightened concerns about stability in the South American nation as the Trump administration escalates its four-month pressure campaign against President Nicolas Maduro’s government.

Gold and silver prices soar to new highs as the yellow metal reemerges as a hedge
Gold and silver prices soared to new highs on Monday.
Gold futures or February delivery settled 1.9% higher at $4,469.40 per ounce, after hitting a record of $4,477.7 per ounce. Spot gold was up 1.99% to $4,440.26 per ounce. Prices are up nearly 70% since the start of the year.
The metal has soared this year, smashing consecutive price records as risk assets lost ground. Gold is typically viewed as a safe haven asset in times of economic or geopolitical turbulence.
Silver typically tracks gold, and was last seen at a record $68.96 per ounce while spot silver was last trading at $68.98. Prices have gained 128% since the start of the year.

Michael Flynn Warns China’s “Unrestricted Warfare” Targets U.S. From Within, Lara Logan Reports
In the latest Going Rogue with Lara Logan, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn delivers a blunt warning from the Indo-Pacific Summit in Washington, D.C.: the United States is facing a form of conflict that does not look like traditional war — and America’s adversaries are exploiting economic leverage, cyber influence, and internal political vulnerability to weaken the country.
Flynn frames the threat through the concept of “unrestricted warfare,” a Chinese military doctrine he says treats everything — trade, finance, information, and institutions — as a battlefield. He argues the danger isn’t limited to foreign theaters and alliances. According to Flynn, the United States is now contending with hostile influence operating inside the country’s own systems of government.
