“This was funny on M.A.S.H. when Klinger kept trying to get his section 8 dismissal, it doesn’t seem quite as funny in real life …especially since our tax dollars are being used to theoretically “protect us”. Does everyone also get a “participation trophy” to bring home to Mommy? “
The Dossier has acquired a new Department of Defense (DOD) memo that goes into great detail on the topic of “care of service members who identify as transgender.”
The document, which is not classified but has long remained unavailable to Americans, is being published here for the first time for public consumption.
The 34 page memo details the enormous perks granted to service members who identify as transgender.

“Not trying to beat a dead horse, but what about the debt on all the underwater commercial real estate?”
Following the failures of several regional banks earlier this year, we’ve been closely monitoring the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, noticing increasing risks in the office space market. CRE lending standards have tightened considerably in response to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes over the past sixteen months to combat inflation. Furthermore, depressed office-badge swipes and other occupancy metrics indicate a downshift in demand for office space.

“Is this how one reasons after consuming magic mushrooms? So I guess war is a “good thing”? Stimulus for “the global economy”? Why not stimulus for our own economy? “
Doubling support for war-torn Ukraine is the “single best thing” to help the global economy.
Source: US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday, 16 July, speaking on the sidelines of the G20 Finance Ministers’ Summit in India, as reported by European Pravda, citing AFP.
Details: Yellen said a “key priority” is to “redouble our support for Ukraine” as it defends itself against Russia.
Bill’s commentary:
” … And the debt on all that real estate will never be repaid either!”
In just three years, the pandemic forced companies to rethink how their workforce conducts business, stripping away the crowds and bustling environment metropolitans like San Francisco, California were known for having.
Now, as some things return to normal, many workers who commuted to San Francisco continue to work remote and the Golden City is struggling to keep businesses intact, leaving many buildings vacant.

“So ‘sudden or unexpected deaths’ are occurring in animals that were vaccinated for Covid? WOW, what a coincidence? Maybe it’s part of the “animal population control” program?”
A nearly 7-year-old African elephant has died following a 12-day battle with a viral infection, the Dallas Zoo announced Tuesday. The elephant, Ajabu, died Monday evening of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV). Ajabu had previously faced the infection in March 2021 and survived, the zoo added.

“Do you still wonder if there is a plan to undermine the United States sovereignty?”
While it took the Biden administration the better part of six months to drain the US oil supply down to a precarious 20-days of emergency reserves (a 40-year low), it will take decades to refill – if that happens at all, Bloomberg reports.
Stroll through the West Hackberry oil facility on the US Gulf Coast and there’s not much to see: some pipelines and other industrial equipment. But buried deep beneath the surface are storage caverns so massive they’re tall enough to house the Empire State Building with plenty of room to spare.
Bill’s commentary:
“What if Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is correct?”
What if Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is correct? The Dutch virologist said at the outset of the Covid-19 episode in 2020 that vaccinating the world in the midst of an epidemic was insane because it would train the virus to evolve more dangerously while disabling human immune systems.
Last week he issued a warning that the world was within weeks of just such a new and deadly immune escape variant outbreak that would bring on a shocking wave of sickness and death among people who received multiple Covid-19 vaccinations. This would happen on top of an already accelerating rise in latent vaccine adverse reactions manifesting as aggressive cancers, blood disorders, cardiac injury, neurological disease, and much, much more.

“How fitting is this? Yellen does mushrooms …if she even peeked at the national debt then this was a very BAD TRIP!”
It’s been several days since US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen left Beijing, and much has been said about her efforts to repair the US-China relationship.
But politics aside, her Beijing visit resulted in one unexpected success – she managed to dramatically boost business for a Yunnan restaurant chain while bringing jian shou qing, an unusual yet highly sought-after mushroom prized for its unique properties, into the national limelight.

“Destroy America for One World Government – Alex Newman.”

Bill’s commentary:
“Imagine that? We have said this for years and been called “conspiracy theorists” for even having the thought. ALL markets are rigged and it starts with gold and silver as they are direct competitors to the world’s fiat currencies. It all starts with suppression of gold’s (and silver) price so they can point at gold and say “see, dollar good …gold BAD!” Rigging the juniors (and even majors) is child’s play because the volume is thin, and regulators look the other way. You may remember 2+ years ago when some of the juniors tripled in price in just one or two days, this I believe was a cleaning up of naked shorts and allowed a “reload” (re short) at much higher prices to rinse and repeat the scam. As the global Ponzi is about to fail, these riggers are about to get the religious experience of their lives! Gold will again be seen as “money”, which will make high quality gold and silver bearing properties “banks”. The train is now leaving the station. You either get on board now and take a ride to the greatest redistribution of wealth in human history, or …wallow with no purchasing power in the debt-based currency system as it bankrupts into a vortex that will take everything paper straight to hell!”
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) (“Hycroft” or “the Company”), a gold and silver development company that owns the Hycroft Mine in the prolific mining region of Northern Nevada , announces that it has been working with Shareholder Intelligent Services, LLC (“ShareIntel”) for several months to review the trading of the Company’s common stock in order to track, identify, and monitor for potentially illegal short selling activities and deploy solutions to help combat any such activities.

“But, but, they tell us we are not even in a recession? Yet?”
A growing number of U.S. firms are collapsing under the weight of higher interest rates as corporate bankruptcies reached their highest first-half levels since 2010, new data show.
In the first six months of 2023, there were 340 corporate bankruptcies, topping every other comparable span in 13 years, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s up 93 percent from the same time a year ago and higher than in 2020, when there was a spike during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is the new “Be all you can be”?”
Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires.
That seems to be the lesson of the Army’s physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting “gender-affirming” care.

“Normal is Over”
Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has been warning for years that a systemic crash was always in the cards because of the enormous unpayable debt buildup. The debt for America has never been more extreme. Now, there is a new wrinkle in the equation for an elite class wanting to hang onto power, and that is war – a nuclear war. Rubino says, “These neocon chickenhawk psychopaths who are running Biden’s foreign policy are going to try to extend U.S. domination around the world. 5% of the world’s population is going to rule the other 95% of the population in perpetuity. They see this as a ‘New American Century’ to be imposed by force, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do that. It’s baffling.”

“Surprise!”
In the absence of official scrutiny of Washington’s spending spree on Ukraine, The Grayzone conducted an independent audit of US funding for the country. We discovered a series of wasteful, highly unusual expenditures the Biden administration has yet to explain.
Bill’s commentary:
“A good read by Jonathon Turley on censorship.”
As a long-standing free speech advocate, the last few years have been alarming and, frankly, depressing. The censorship efforts of the government are, unfortunately, not new. However, what is new is the support of the media and the Democratic Party in such censorship. That was on display on various channels after the recent opinion finding that the Biden Administration had violated the First Amendment in “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.” However, the New York Times immediately warned that the outbreak of free speech could “curtail efforts to combat disinformation.” Yet, no one expressed more simply and chillingly than CNN Chief White House Correspondent Phil Mattingly who stated that it “makes sense” for tech companies to go along with government censorship demands.
Bill’s commentary:
“So why exactly would anyone be so vehement about no “hand counting” ballots? There can only be one answer …”
Colorado legislation supposedly aimed at increasing election security effectively outlawed hand-counting ballots in most of the state, and election officials are the ones who requested the ban.
The Colorado Election Security Act (SB22-153) was drafted in response to Mesa County clerk Tina Peters allowing election skeptics to replicate hard drives to check for evidence of fraud. SB22-153 contains a number of provisions, with the state government mostly focusing on those outlawing replication, and banning people convicted of insurrection or sedition from becoming election officials.

“And you think your house is worth how much?”
The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage hit 7.22% on Thursday, according to Mortgage News Daily. That’s the highest point since early November.
Mortgage rates follow loosely the yield on the 10-year Treasury, which leapt higher following a much stronger-than-expected employment report from ADP.
Bill’s commentary:
“The “run” is on and no one seems to notice …much less care?”
You may recall reading a burst of headlines during the banking crisis in March of this year about depositors fleeing small banks for the perceived comfort of the largest banks. Unfortunately, those headlines were never put in context or updated to reflect a broader picture.
In fact, using deposit data that is updated weekly from the Federal Reserve’s own H.8 releases, it becomes crystal clear that the large banks are bleeding deposits at the fastest pace in 40 years.

A Lancet review of 325 autopsies after Covid vaccination found that 74% of the deaths were caused by the vaccine – but the study was removed within 24 hours.
The paper, a pre-print that was awaiting peer-review, is written by leading cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch and their colleagues at the Wellness Company and was published online on Wednesday on the pre-print site of the prestigious medical journal.

On Monday, China announced export controls on two rare earth metals, gallium and germanium, starting on August 1. These critical rare earth metals are used in microchip production. On Wednesday, a former top Chinese official was quoted by state media as saying export controls on rare earth metals are “just the beginning.”

“Jeremiah checks in with COMEX open interest numbers”
Great and Wonderful Monday Morning Folks,
Something is happening behind the Comex Silver Futures pricing that I think may mean a change in direction. The Open Interest in Silver is now lower than at any other time I’ve been watching/writing.
My old low in Ag OI was 134,269 contracts (when Jim’s site was the place to go), which stayed for years. In the last month (June) I watched a new low come in at 133,698 (6/1). From that time up to the 14th, the OI climbed to 154,214.
The odd thing here is this was early. The OI usually reaches its high around the options expiration day (June 27th). The OI count this expiration time dropped to 134,151, a 20,063 contract reduction since the 14th, and has been continuing its drop up to today, July 3rd at 114,271, a 39,943 contract pullback since mid-June.
Quadruple Witch Week happened on the third Thursday in June, the day after the OI high was hit. I’ve always watched the numbers behind the price, Volume’s and Open Interest show the pumping and dumping of contracts during June with some days showing far more Volume than OI (like in all of 2019). It may be because of Newmont’s Silver Mine shutting down (6/7) with very little data coming out anywhere, at least since June 16th.
Regardless, it appears to me, someone is preparing by getting out of the way via their hedge positions at the Comex. Is this the last low price wrung in Comex Silver?
Even if you hate it, politics now rues the day. Look everywhere! The EU is falling apart. Each nations homies, have been forced to accept people from other nations without vetting. The French people have been kept from responding (by their own government) to the abuses as well as open attacks. Now a burning car hit the home of the mayor of the Paris suburb of l’Hay-les-Roses with rumors that his wife and kids were inside that building. Attempted murder?
What’s Macron to do since he’s pissed off the people of France, with the immigrants Macron let in, now rioting? What will the EU do since they are the ones that insisted unvetted immigration was good for all nations?
Here in the USA, we got a resident in the White House who has been caught serving other nations, with 3 separate investigations proving Hunter and father took millions in payment, from the likes of China and Ukraine. And the same group keeping Joey safe is attacking all candidates, both Dem and Rep, at the same time ignoring our border issue. How will we react when the time comes?
In the recent past, Silver’s price and volatility was controlled by CFTC’s Rostin Behnam during the “Silver Squeeze”. Chairman Benham, I look forward to your conversation in front of a Congressional Hearing on how you thought it was ok to steal value from American citizens in order to tamp. Isn’t your job to make sure things like this doesn’t happen.
How does all this NOT effect precious metals prices? Consider all this and know the manipulations, one day will end, with prices of precious metals reaching heights never imagined. Be long Silver and Gold Calls, hold your stock shares under DRS, and keep your retirement savings in precious metals.
As Always …
Stay Strong!

“Well thought out by Ray Dalio.”
I’m a global macro investor who has been betting on what’s going to happen for over 50 years. I’ve been through all sorts of events and cycles in all sorts of places over a long time which led me to study how these events and cycles work. In the process, I learned that I needed to study history to understand what’s going on and what’s likely to happen.

“I thought this is what “chemtrails” were for? Besides, if this actually works, then “solar” power doesn’t?”
The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.
Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden‘s administration have admitted they’re open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.

Argentina made a loan repayment to the International Monetary Fund worth the equivalent of $2.7 billion “without using dollars” on Friday, using Chinese yuan and special-drawing rights notes (the IMF reserve asset based on a basket of five currencies – the yuan, the euro, the dollar, the yen, and the pound) instead.

New York state is reeling from a COVID-era exodus to low-tax locales as revenue during this fiscal year is down nearly 20%, according to a report.
New York and California saw the steepest drops in tax-generated revenue this fiscal year while Florida and Texas saw their coffers fill up thanks to a pandemic-fueled migration.
