MTG’s Weather Manipulation Claims Take a Shocking Turn
Marjorie Taylor Greene was actually right when she claimed scientists could alter the weather.
This is not a “conspiracy theory.”
Over 50 countries, including the US, are using cloud seeding and geoengineering to change the weather.
This has been proven true by numerous scientific studies, historical military operations, and active government programs.

“Nothing new here, but a very good synopsis/reminder why you own gold and silver in the first place. And yes, silver will outperform gold from the current levels.”
And the Fix is in for the Great Gold and Silver Drag Race
For years, large players in the precious metals markets have employed a controversial technique known as naked short selling—selling silver and gold contracts in the futures markets without possessing the physical metals themselves. This strategy seems designed to manage the prices of these metals, with naked shorts often surfacing during the early morning hours when trading volumes are lower. Rather than aiming for profit, these short sellers appear focused on suppressing upward price momentum, especially during reports of rising demand or constrained supply. However, as the physical stockpiles of precious metals dwindle, evidenced by significant drawdowns in the LBMA and Comex vaults, this strategy is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. Savvy buyers are now taking delivery of the metals, whether to repatriate them, reduce exposure to fiat currency and investable debt notes, or invest in what seems to be undervalued silver—considering its historical high of around $50 in 1980 and 2011, compared to its current price around $31. All in all, it’s a no-brainer.
As demand for physical assets escalates and mining output disappoints, above-ground stockpiles continue to tighten. The naked short-selling strategy shows signs of desperation—short sellers cannot cover their positions and can’t suppress the price, hinting that a potential upward correction is on the horizon. Rumors circulate that a failure to deliver could catalyze a significant sentiment and price shift, making the precious metals market increasingly interesting and potentially profitable while other asset classes seem to be peaking or past their sell-by dates.
Imagine this landscape as a thrilling uphill race, where gold serves as the powerful truck, straining against the desirability of paper assets as it ascends, while silver is the agile sports car ready to overtake it. Currently, a double yellow line prevents silver from passing, but it is poised to burst forward at a moment’s notice. Gold, with its long-standing allure as a safe haven, may soon be exposed as a less rare metal leading the charge, especially as overpriced paper assets falter. While gold has attracted investor interest, for a time it has outpaced silver’s price movements, which are waiting for the opportunity to break free from the slow traffic. This makes the current race one of the most interesting in the last 13 years.
For the sixth consecutive year, silver has been in deficit, with high demand from industries such as solar panels and advanced battery technologies leaving its stockpiles in need of replenishment—yet none is available. Unlike gold, which is primarily mined and stored in vaults, silver is actively consumed, enhancing its value and urgency in the market, if it weren’t for ongoing suppression. This growing demand signifies more than just a fleeting trend; it reflects a fundamental shift in how investors are—or will be—perceiving these metals.
As awareness of silver’s critical role increases, so does its monetary value. The pressure mounts for this once-passive competitor to surpass gold in both utility and investability, giving rise to the new reality: if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it. Silver isn’t merely biding its time; it’s gearing up for an explosive surge, preparing to unleash its full potential and then some. With tightening supply and increasing demand, silver stands on the brink of not just following gold but ultimately overtaking it, ready to claim victory as the most valuable metal on Earth.
In this dynamic competition, the paths of gold and silver have diverged from a natural ratio of somewhere between 7 and 15 ounces of silver equaling one ounce of gold to around 85—having even peaked at 124. While gold may currently dominate the market, this race is evolving. It wouldn’t surprise me if we eventually see a flip in this ratio to several ounces of gold for every one ounce of silver. Currently, this may seem unthinkable, but with unpredictable government actions and the time required to bring new supplies online, it could very easily become a reality. As investors increasingly recognize the unique advantages of silver—especially its vital role in technological advancements—the stage is set for silver to leap ahead of gold and continue its ascent. The great gold and silver drag race is far from over; with each passing moment, silver inches closer to its moment of triumph, showcasing that while gold leads the charge, silver is primed to seize the opportunity and win the race.

Boeing Cutting 17,000 Jobs Amid Labor Strike And Financial Losses
Boeing has announced plans to lay off 17,000 employees as part of a strategy to address mounting financial losses. In a memo to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg explained that the company is facing serious challenges and that the layoffs are a necessary step to ensure future recovery. “Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together,” Ortberg said.
The layoffs come shortly after nearly 33,000 workers, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751, went on strike. The union rejected Boeing’s offer of a 25% wage increase over the next four years, demanding instead a 40% wage hike. The strike, which has been ongoing for almost a month, is reportedly costing Boeing close to $1 billion per month.

Biden sends missile system and 100 troops to Israel, deepening U.S. role
The United States is sending one of its most advanced missile defense systems and about 100 U.S. troops to Israel, deepening U.S. involvement in the escalating war in the Middle East amid U.S. expectations of an imminent Israeli assault on Iran.
The mission marks the first significant deployment of U.S. troops to Israelsince the war in Gaza began and comes just three weeks before the U.S. presidential election in which U.S. involvement in the conflict has been a polarizing issue on the campaign trail. U.S. officials have been encouraging Israel to avoid targeting Iran’s nuclear, oil and gas sites out of fear that it could spark an even larger escalation that upends the global economy.

Some Liberal MPs are mounting a new effort to oust Justin Trudeau
Pressure is building on the prime minister and his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are co-ordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader, multiple sources have told CBC News.
Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection loss in June.
Those talks accelerated with Parliament’s return and the Montreal byelection loss. They escalated further this week with the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.

Christians flock to Washington to pray for America to turn to God — by electing Trump
Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering — and next month’s presidential election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.

An Aging Volunteer Service – Is Amateur Radio Still Needed?
As the disaster unfolds in North Carolina, I am reminded of other significant events that have affected entire communities in one form or another. From hurricanes to wildfires, earthquakes, or any other major incident, one thing is getting less and less recognition these days, and that is the amateur radio service.
Yeah, I get it. There is a perception that it’s just a bunch of elderly gentlemen sitting around smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, listening to the ether, and pounding some morse code to some contact halfway around the world. Or maybe they are repeating CQ CQ CQ into a microphone and listening for a return call. They will spend a bunch of money on equipment, experiment with antennas and electronics, and even try to implement newer technology into what they do. Some might look at it and call all of this a hobby or even a waste of time, but it’s not because all of this may be needed for more than just talking to Japan or Croatia for fun.

National Guard Puts Down Viral Rumors About Kamala Harris Posing With Hurricane Aid
The North Carolina National Guard explained to the Daily Caller why a plane loaded with aid for those affected by Hurricane Helene during Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit never made the delivery following claims that the visit was staged.
While on Shawn Ryan’s podcast Thursday, Aerial Recovery members Jonathan Howard and Charlie Keebaugh claimed that the North Carolina National Guard had to load an entire C-17 with supplies just to stage a photo op for Vice President Kamala Harris, adding that the loaded plane was never sent to aid in hurricane relief. Lt. Ellis Parks, the Director of Public Affairs for the North Carolina National Guard, told the Caller that the visit was not a photo op and that the plane suffered mechanical issues, which kept it from making its trip.

Today’s CPI Report is a Psychological Operation Designed to Dumb You Down While the Banking System Steals Your Money Through Inflation
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September came out today hotter than expected up 0.3% for the month for a ‘year-over-year’ (YoY) of 3.3% general increase in consumer prices according to the ‘official’ report.
John Williams of ShadowStats has a different take on the matter. His work on the economic numbers shows that ‘real’ inflation (the way the CPI was calculated prior to 1980) was consistently higher-about 9% higher than the way CPI numbers are calculated in 2024.
So what Mr. Williams calls the ‘alternative’ rate of inflation (that we all actually live in) is actually -much higher.

A Bank Regulator Provides a Frightening Look at the Trading Casino Jamie Dimon Has Built Inside His Federally-Insured Bank
On September 24, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released its Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities for the second quarter of this year. The OCC is the federal regulator of banks that operate across state lines, which are known as “national banks.”
The shorthand for this report should be the “Casino Report.” Increasingly, the report showcases how much dangerous trading activity the brokerage firms on Wall Street have been able to muscle into their federally-insured banking units where the deposits of millions of average Americans reside. Since the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 under the Bill Clinton administration, Wall Street trading firms have been allowed to combine with federally-insured banks – creating an endless series of crises and bailouts.

Putin Speaks – Hear the Russian president like never before
Back in August 1999, Vladimir Putin was unexpectedly appointed as Russia’s Prime Minister.
A former director of the FSB, who had cut his teeth in the chaotic politics of St Petersburg, he was the fifth man to hold the post in 16 months.
Given the country was gripped by political and economic turmoil at the time, most observers thought he’d be doing well to still be in frontline politics by the end of the year.
Instead, a visibly tired then leader Boris Yeltsin stunned the world by leaving office on New Years Eve, and appointing Putin as acting president and endorsing him as his successor. Just five months later, he won a national election and assumed office for his first full term.

Consumers Crack: Credit Card Debt Suddenly Plunges Most Since Covid As APRs Hit Record High
Last month, we – and many others – were stunned when after several months of progressively declining revolving credit growth, in July credit card debt unexpectedly soared by the most since January, sending total consumer credit growth surging by just under $27 billion, the single biggest monthly increase since 2022. We called it a “Last Hurrah” moment (literally “In “Last Hurrah”, Credit Card Debt Unexpectedly Soars Despite Record High APRs As Savings Rate Hits Record Low“) and said that “with consumers ever more strapped for actual cash and equity, as the personal savings rate in the US collapses from over 5% to 2.9% – the lowest since the Lehman bankruptcy – in just one year, as all the excess savings from covid are long gone there is only so much more credit card maxing out that can take place before reality finally sets in.“
One month later, reality has set in with a bang, because just a month after a bizarre surge in revolving credit, the Fed reported that in August, total consumer credit growth plunged by more than half to just $8.9 billion, below the $12 billion estimate…

Will Russian Buying Drive Silver Beyond $50
A report from the Russian news agency Interfax last week reveals Russia’s plans to substantially increase its precious metals reserves in the coming years. The report states that Russia’s State Fund plans to acquire gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and gemstones. Russia’s decision to add silver to its reserves distinguishes it from most other central banks, which have largely focused on accumulating gold while overlooking silver. Along with several other bullish factors, Russia’s silver purchases could be a key driver in pushing prices to $50 and beyond.
Bloomberg’s translation of the original Interfax report reveals that Russia’s State Fund plans to allocate 51.5 billion rubles (or $538.7 million) to precious metals and gemstones in 2025, with the same amount set for 2026 and 2027:

The Regime Wants Appalachia To Suffer
Americans from Florida to North Carolina continue to deal with the devastating consequences of Hurricane Helene, now the deadliest hurricane to hit the US since Katrina. The stories emerging from the region are heart breaking. The economic damage to property and the infrastructure will take years to recover from. Large parts of the area will never return to what they were.
Many Americans may be unaware of the extent of the damage. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which received non-stop coverage on cable news for weeks, with primetime anchors like Anderson Cooper visiting on location covering stories of human tragedy and government incompetence, Helene’s aftermath has received far less coverage. It is on social media platforms like X where folks will find horrifying stories of the stench of death still strong in difficult to reach areas, the lack of government assistance for those in need, and the courage of private efforts serving the area.
Some of this is explained by the time period we are living in. Escalation in the Middle East. A national election is on the horizon. A court decision releasing documents that allows the salivating press to re-litigate the events of January 6, 2021 yet again. What cannot be ignored, however, is the extent to which the open hostility the nation’s most powerful institutions have had to the sorts of people that are overwhelmingly impacted by this storm, predominantly white, working class, and politically conservative.

In September, with the target sliding out of reach, Beijing unleashed a package of stimulus measures including interest rate cuts to turn things around. Success is not assured. Persistent deflationary pressures have also sparked a discussion about whether the world’s second-biggest economy is headed for a Japan-style malaise of stagnation after 30 years of unprecedented growth.

Brief commentary
Mortgage rates have now risen 42 basis points since the Fed’s .50 basis point rate cut. Obviously an unintended consequence. If we are to believe government economic numbers (please don’t), then we just saw the employment report this morning come in very strong. But the Fed just cut 50 basis points which in the past is what they only did on an emergency basis? Can you say “policy blunder”? Or, maybe something under the water line was getting smoked and desperately needed a rate cut? Or, there is an election coming up so the Fed decided to do something they have NEVER done before (with the exception of 2008 financial crisis) cut rates to help the incumbent? Whatever their motive, it has backfired and smells like rotten fish. We had THE longest inverted yield curve ever, expect the following depression to be the deepest and longest ever including the 1930’s… if, it does not spell the end of empire? Keep your helmet on!
