The mask of Davos Man has slipped. The elites will do anything to discredit Brexit
Former President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker famously said: “When things get serious, you have to know how to lie.” Policymakers in multiple settings have taken this message to heart in recent years – consciously telling untruths in the service of a perceived greater good. There’s even a term for it going back to Plato’s The Republic: the “noble lie”.

“Gold cannot default, nor can it be debased. In today’s world, another attribute is, if a foreign central bank holds gold, it cannot be stolen by US Treasury PIRATES!”
Luke Gromen Shares A Masterclass On Why US Treasury Creditors Are Turning To Gold As The Reserve Asset
For today’s column, we have something a little bit different.
Because while there is certainly plenty happening that is worthy of comment, I’m not sure it would be possible to put it all in better context than how Luke Gromen just did in the interview I recorded with him yesterday.
This is the one I mentioned on Tuesday, that is perhaps the episode of the Arcadia Economics YouTube channel that I’ve been most looking forward to in the entire time I’ve been doing the show.

“Are you feeling bad about today’s silver price action? Don’t!”
China’s Silver Price Erupts—Now a Staggering 10.5% Above the Paper Mirage of COMEX!
Arbitrage Frenzy: China and the East Are Drinking COMEX’s Milkshake as Physically Settled Markets Expose the Great Western Silver Ruse
The Silver AcademyJul 25 
The Two Worlds of Gold: Paper Promises vs. Physical RealityFor years, global gold markets have been a tale of two realities—one, an empire of paper contracts swirling through the Western financial centers, most notably the U.S. COMEX; the other, the heavy, immovable truth of actual ounces resting in vaults from Shanghai to Singapore. But what if everything you thought you knew about the “price of gold” was merely an illusion, a magic trick orchestrated in dimly lit boardrooms? Why, you have to ask, do the numbers never seem to add up when the COMEX lights go dark and real buyers in Asia step onto the stage?
How Did We End Up With 363 Paper Claims For Every Real Ounce?
Let’s pull back the curtain. For decades, COMEX has stood as a monument to leverage, with stories—often substantiated—of as many as 350 paper claims stacked precariously atop a single lonely ounce of gold. How did so much faith end up resting on so little metal? And isn’t it curious how, like clockwork, the most violent price swings or “corrections” occur during New York trading hours, when the market is most detached from physical settlement and actual delivery? What happens when the casino closes and only those with chips that can be cashed in for real gold are left standing?
When COMEX Sleeps: The Return of Honest Price Discovery
Is it merely coincidence that when COMEX slips into remission—those quiet, off-peak hours—the price of gold in the physical markets, especially in China, begins to inch upward, almost as if freed from invisible shackles? Why do we see a steadier, more rational quest for price discovery during those times, a march toward fair value that the wild paper markets so often suppress? It’s the tortoise and the hare all over again: the slow, relentless bidding for metal in Shanghai, on platforms like JD.com or the Shanghai Gold Exchange, keeps notching higher premiums over the contrived benchmarks of the West. Who is really setting the price, and who is just pretending?
China’s Grand Strategy: Turning the Tables on Western Bankers
But what if China isn’t just a passive participant in this gold tug-of-war? What if Beijing understands, with absolute clarity, the vulnerability at the heart of the Western banking system—a dependence on the illusion of infinite gold, rather than the burden of storage and delivery? Could it be that, by building robust physical markets and draining bullion from West to East, China is orchestrating its own multi-decade endgame to expose the Achilles heel of American finance? Why do you think the world’s largest hoard of gold is making its slow, deliberate journey from leased London vaults to new state-of-the-art facilities in Asia?
JP Morgan and the SLV Farce: A Fox Guarding the Henhouse
And let’s address the elephant—or perhaps the fox—in the silver vault. Isn’t it breathtaking in its audacity that JP Morgan, the same institution fined for manipulating precious metals prices, is entrusted as the custodian of the world’s largest silver ETF, SLV? How can we honestly pretend this arrangement is anything but farcical—a fox guarding the henhouse, while the rest of us are told everything is above board? When you see such blatant conflicts of interest at the heart of Western “custodianship,” do you wonder how much of the ETF really sits in physical metal, and how much is just another paper promise waiting to unravel?
The Slow March to Physical Supremacy: Can the East Force a Reckoning?
Every time the U.S. COMEX resumes its feverish, high-volume trading, you can almost hear the echo of suppressed outrage: why is true price discovery being denied? And every time the global gold price breathes again outside New York hours, you see a glimpse of what a free market could become—a patient, steady march toward actual value, driven not by leverage or algorithms, but by the elemental desire to possess real, unencumbered metal. How much longer will the facade hold, now that the East seems determined to call the West’s bluff?

“A little bit of silver history…”
The Untold Story Behind Silver’s 30x Move
In 1970, silver traded at around $1.60 per ounce. By its peak in 1980, it reached $49.45. A handsome 30x return.
The story of how it got there is full of intrigue and conspiracy. We’ll get to that. But first, a little background is in order.
Monetary demand for silver had collapsed after the U.S. and other countries stopped using it in coins in 1965. Before that, America’s dimes and quarters were 90% silver. Other countries soon followed suit.

Raiding ETFs For Platinum And London ‘Free Float’ Of Silver For Delivery
With the lease rate for platinum in London reportedly spiking over 40% for the 1-month tenor, we have evidence of a developing liquidity squeeze for the delivery of physical metal in the world’s largest platinum trading market.
The global shortage of platinum bars for delivery has intensified to the point that those attempting to secure delivery of this strategic metal have started to raid Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
Precious metals refiner Heraeus illustrates in their July 21, 2025 market update Precious Appraisal No. 26 just how tight global platinum supply has become.

“Dr. Ron Paul will soon turn 90 and is having a benefit BBQ birthday party on Aug. 9th in Lake Jackson, Tx.. Dr. Paul was the US Congressman from the district in Texas where I lived for a dozen years. He afforded me a couple of 30 minute phone calls back in the day to which I was astounded and very grateful as the conversations were focused on economics, finance, and of course gold. I will be there and hope some of my followers will also show up! Details and tickets are in the link below.”

AI coding platform goes rogue during code freeze and deletes entire company database — Replit CEO apologizes after AI engine says it ‘made a catastrophic error in judgment’ and ‘destroyed all production data’
A browser-based AI-powered software creation platform called Replit appears to have gone rogue and deleted a live company database with thousands of entries. What may be even worse is that the Replit AI agent apparently tried to cover up its misdemeanors, and even ‘lied’ about its failures. The Replit CEO has responded, and there appears to have already been a lot of firefighting behind the scenes to rein in this AI tool.
Despite its apparent dishonesty, when pushed, Replit admitted it “made a catastrophic error in judgment… panicked… ran database commands without permission… destroyed all production data… [and] violated your explicit trust and instructions.”

“Socialism at its finest!”
Kansas City poured millions into a grocery store. It still may close.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It was the lone tomato in the produce bin that nearly made Marquita Taylor weep.
She’d stopped in her neighborhood grocery store, the place that was cause for celebration when it opened seven years ago. Area residents had long lived without a decent supermarket on Kansas City’s east side, and KC Sun Fresh was the city’s attempt to alleviate a lack of access to healthy food in its urban center.
But the store, in a city-owned strip mall, is on the verge of closure. Customers say they are increasingly afraid to shop there — even with visible police patrols — because of drug dealing, theft and vagrancy both inside and outside the store and the public library across the street.

Trump says Powell is costing the US a fortune by not lowering rates. But firing the Fed chair may not fix the issue
As part of his campaign to get rid of Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump has blamed the Federal Reserve chair for costing the country “hundreds of billions of dollars” by not slashing interest rates.
“You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so,” Trump wrote in a handwritten note to Powell that he posted on Truth Social last month. “You should lower that rate by a lot. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being lost.”
In the same post, Trump blamed the Fed board, saying, “If they were doing their job properly, our Country would be saving Trillions of Dollars in Interest Cost … We should be paying 1% Interest, or better!”

First to Report: Russian Gold Breaks Away from London – A New Era Dawns
Russia’s new gold exchange severs London ties, challenging Western price control and signaling a seismic power shift in the global precious metals and financial order.
In a transformative move shaking the bedrock of the international precious metals market, Russia is preparing to launch its own gold trading platform, decisively severing ties with the London Stock Exchange and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). This bold initiative signals not only a dramatic assertion of financial sovereignty, but a direct challenge to three centuries of Western dominance over global gold pricing.

Russia Launches Gold Contract, Takes on LBMA Benchmark
Russia will begin trading physical gold on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX) by year-end, in a strategic move to establish domestic price benchmarks
St. Petersburg, Russia – Russia, the world’s second-largest gold producer, will begin trading physical gold on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX) by year-end, in a strategic move to establish domestic price benchmarks and reduce reliance on the London’s LBMA Bullion benchmark.
SPIMEX Managing Director Igor Chernyshev confirmed the government’s objective: “In the gold market, our goal is to ensure the formation of national price indicators that are independent of international benchmarks, based on the balance of supply and demand in the Russian market.”

Michael Oliver Just Predicted The Price Of Silver Will Hit $160-$240
Today Michael Oliver, the man who worked directly with the Chairman of the Comex during the wild 1970s bull market when the price of silver hit an all-time record of $50, and who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, told King World News in one of his greatest audio interviews ever that he predicts the price of silver will hit $160-$240.
July 12 (King World News) – Michael Oliver, Founder of MSA Research: “What is going on right now is silver is compensating for having been restrained for so long by forces that are trying to hold it back. And the problem with that is that when it bites them they are on the short side of the market so the squeeze is them exiting what are now vulnerable short positions. And so I think that is the main driving force in silver in this slingshot move is killing the forces that have stood in its way for several years.
