    Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter is back updating us on the gold demand explosion and the U.S. dollar implosion.  Holter, who is a precious metals broker from Miles Franklin, has a front row seat to the big jump in demand and prices.  Holter says, “We’ve been jammed since the first of the year, but we have been absolutely jammed since the SVB bank announcement.  What is interesting is we are getting more calls, but for the most part, bigger money.  We are taking multi-million-dollar orders on a daily basis now.  This is different than a few years ago. . . . What is going to happen is demand is going to outstrip supply.  The supply will be wiped out. . . . Ultimately, COMEX and LBMA are going to fail to deliver, and then you will see an absolute moonshot in gold and silver.”

    Today OPEC+ woke up and chose scorched-earth war against the Fed.

    That’s because while the US central bank is already trapped, and is desperately looking for any excuse to halt its tightening campaign now that inflation is accelerating to the downside not just because regional banks desperately need a lower Fed Funds rate to short-circuit the relentless deposit drain which won’t stop (and will lead to even more bank failures and resolutions) until their deposit rates can at least match those of the Fed, but also because various liberal rags have already thrown Powell, pardon, the “Trump-era holdover” under the bus for the coming recession.

    “A legitimate question …does the 2nd Amendment itself protect the 2nd Amendment?  I am pretty sure it does but only time and true grit will tell?”

    America’s latest episode of mass homicide has sparked renewed advocacy for restrictions on gun ownership. Once again, the accompanying debate has many gun control advocates claiming the Second Amendment’s reference to a “well regulated militia” narrows the amendment’s scope if not rendering it altogether moot.

    Before we examine those claims, it’s important to ensure readers have a proper general understanding of the Bill of Rights. Contrary to common misperception, these amendments do not bestow privileges upon American citizens. Rather, they are primarily a set of prohibitions against the government infringing on pre-existing human rights all people have.

    “And how much in derivatives?”

    On Tuesday, Martin Gruenberg, the Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the federal agency that serves as both a bank regulator and the overseer of the federal insurance program for U.S. bank deposits, testified before the Senate Banking Committee. The dangers of U.S. banks holding large amounts of uninsured deposits came up repeatedly in his testimony. For example, Gruenberg’s written testimony included these details about the ongoing banking crisis:

    “…on Friday, March 10, a number of institutions with large amounts of uninsured deposits reported that depositors had begun to withdraw their funds.”

    Cause Unknown: Expert Opinions are Subjective, Increased Sudden Deaths are Not

    Could doctors and leaders have been subject to peer-pressure or motivated by money to inject patients with mRNA technology even after the harm and death caused by mRNA nanotech was known?

    March 25, 2023: I recorded this selfie-video on July 30, 2021, after my premiere interview with Stew Peters. When making this video, naively I believed that once Congressmen, experts, media influencers and healthcare experts realized that the COVID-19 mRNA injections had no clinical benefits and could only cause disease, disabilities and death; Americans would repent and do an about-face to save God’s children and the United States of America. Boy, was I wrong.

    Expert Opinions are Subjective, Increased Sudden Deaths are Not

    Edward Dowd, former BlackRock portfolio manager has been blowing the whistle on the alarmingly high-rate of excess deaths of employed Americans from U.S. life-insurance claims reports and recently published Cause UnknownThe Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.

    Mr. Dowd’s research is based on the death, disability, and hospitalization reports from credible, verified resources, such as American life and health insurance companies. Dowd has stated that the excess deaths are a ‘six-sigma’ event, meaning that the average annual excess death rate among working-age adults over the past 2 years is six standard deviations from over the past 10 years! Therefore, there has to be an identifiable underlying cause of death impacting the U.S. work force beginning in 2021 because there’s less than a one (1) in a billion probability that these excess deaths happened by chance.

    As I continue to prepare a dossier of evidence demonstrating the harmful and often lethal effects of the COVID-19 mRNA injections, I reviewed the Society of Actuaries (SOA) 2020 – 2022 Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey Report, specifically the Excess Deaths data reports cited in Edward Dowd’s book.

    The SOA Excess Death Claims Report was created by surveying 20 of the top 21 U.S. Group Term Life Insurance companies and by analyzing more than 2.3 million life-insurance claims from employer-groups. Every claim included in this report was filed for a life-insurance payout for someone who was actively employed at their time of death. The data is; as Edward Dowd has stated, “Alarming.”

    In Q3 (July -September) of 2021, excess death rate for working Americans 44 years old and younger was 179%; and excess death was 162% for working adults aged 45 – 64. A 179% increase is nearly a 3x’s increase in the average rate of excess death for young, working Americans.

    The increased rate death rates of working Americans was significantly higher in the states of Florida – 195%, Georgia – 188%, Tennessee – 167%, and Texas – 165% during Q3 (July-September) 2021.

    Due to the economic impact alone, the above numbers should have every Attorney General and Governors in these states investigating the cause of increased in excess deaths of the residents of their states that keep their economy going.

    What Changed in July of 2021?

    An easy place to start would be to ask, “What changed in July of 2021?” For starters, President Joe Biden announced the vaccine mandates, and then state governors, mayors, national employers, and the Department of Justice, all assertively reinforced the requirement for Americans to be vaccinated for public and private employment.

    For those capable of looking at the correlation of events objectively, it is apparent that the declaredEmployee Mandate for the COVID-19 Injections had a significant effect in causing the increased excess deaths of employed Americans. However, many medical experts who diagnose the deceased seem to be perplexed as to whats causing the sudden death of young working adults. Cause Unknown had a significant uptick as the diagnosed cause of death beginning in Q3 (July) 2021 when Biden’s mandates went into effect.

    Cause Unknown: A Diagnostic Code for “The Right to Remain Silent”?

    Wouldn’t doctors notice if the COVID mRNA injections were killing people and be compelled to say something to stop the shots? It’s not as if doctors could be biased, subject to peer pressure, or motivated to make a ton of money to inject adults and children with mRNA technology despite the the known harmful effects. Or is it possible that health care providers could be motivated by these self-serving factors?

    What is that scripture about the root of all evil again?

    Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) offered doctors in group practices up to $250 per BCBSS member if the practice had up 75% or more of their practice ‘vaccinated.’ This is tremendous amount of group pressure. If one of the doctors was seeing 800 BCBS members a month, and could get 90% of them vaccinated, that is a $180,000 bonus per month or $540,000 per quarter. But ONLY IF his colleagues also got 75% of their BCBS patients ‘vaccinated.’ If the rest of the practice was not on board, this hypothetical doctor’s bonus could drop from $180,000 down to $72,000 for one month.

    Conveniently for doctors they have Unknown as a diagnostic code that can be used to diagnose the unexpected and sudden deaths of adults and children after the COVID-19 ‘ vaccine rollout.’ The Unknown diagnostic code is a great way to plead the 5th when asked why they continued to inject adults and children with an agent that does not prevent infection, does not protect against disease, and is known to cause disease, disabilities, hospitalizations, and death; after witnessing the unexplained onset of diseases and deaths of formerly healthy patients.

    It Does Not Require an MD or PhD to Recognize Adults and Children are Dying from the COVID-19 mRNA Technology

    Some medical experts and leaders have asserted that those without advanced degrees have ‘no credibility’ to be able to accurately conclude that the alarming increase in deaths among young working Americans is due to the often lethal outcomes of the COVID-19 mRNA technology, mRNA technology vaccines that are known bioweapons intended to cause disease, disabilities and death.

    Unfortunately, my med-legal analysis that was intended to save Americans, has been ignored, discredited or dismissed by many of our highly-credentialed trusted leaders, experts, and government officials. I began sending my research and analysis to US Congress members in May of 2021. In this email, I clearly assess the mRNA ‘vaccines’ are bioweapons containing an advanced nanoparticle technology;

    “Please have an expert in auto-immune disease medical research review this patent and the ones linked in this email. I believe they will conclude that the COVID-19 injections are BIOWEAPONS that contain gain of function (GOF) chimeric viruses and toxins under the guise of mRNA therapeutic vaccines combined with a ‘diagnostic/therapeutic’ lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform.

    Per the patent, the LNP can target specifics organs and systems throughout the body, including, but not limited to reproductive, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and the central nervous system, specifically crossing the blood brain barrier.”

    – Karen Kingston, email to Congress Members, May 2021

    Congress is Still Pretending that mRNA Bioweapons are “Good for Some People

    The recent Senate hearing of Moderna CEO, Stephane Bancel, was theatre to make the mRNA injections appear to be legitimate therapies and not bioweapons. Engaging in ridiculous debates such as price hikingkickback schemes, and whether or not to use mRNA technology in children is and always has been a PsyOp to get Americans to engage in self—inflicted national suicide, and to participate in crimes against humanity against our own citizens.

    While Americans Have Been Fooled by the COVID-19 ‘Vaccine’ PsyOp, Global Military Leaders Have Not

    Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Chief of Russian Military Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops, has cited my med-legal analysis to launch a criminal investigation into Pfizer’s role in deploying bioweapons on global civilians, and unfortunately the role of the United States Pentagon, health care agencies, and the US Military-Medical Industrial Complex.

    How Will Those Americans Who Deployed a Genocidal Plan Against Americans Avoid Judgment?

    The question for health care providers, government leaders, and many Americans today is will they turn away from participating in the plan to destroy Americans and humanity, acknowledge they’ve been obedient to an evil agenda of coercing and using an agent of biowarfare on innocent adults and children, beg

    Last summer, the Group of 7 (G7), a self-anointed forum of nations that view themselves as the most influential economies in the world, gathered at Schloss Elmau, near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, to hold their annual meeting.

    “Our pal J. Johnson is back with commentary on the extreme low open interest numbers on COMEX.”

    Great and Wonderful Saturday Morning Folks,

       Yes, I’m still gaming Silver. My focus has been Comex Silver (as Jim Sinclair said Ag is “Gold on Steroids”). Silver now has a multi-year low in Comex Open Interest that was recorded on 3/24/23 at 118,082. As a reminder; OI is both holders of the long and the short futures contract willing to keep their positions overnight. YCharts has an Open Interest chart going back to 2018, when the OI was higher when the Volumes exceeded these OI counts (hit the Max button to see) on a daily basis and for years.

          Today is the lowest count I know of since at least 2015 when we discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on Silver Call options going out to July/Sept/Dec-2019 (specifically), which failed to produce a profit (we’re still wondering what the buyers were preparing for?). This was something I have never seen before in the decades I’ve watched Silver, and still to today’s date, there has been no other far out Call Option purchases in Silver.

          In 1980, options on Silver and Gold were not used at the Comex. Now they are an important factor, since one can buy a strike-price with time value, in a market that has been “tamped” with CFTC permission. Imo, this is a factor that will have a much deeper meaning as we move into the fear, uncertainty, and doubt, the bankers have set up.

          A possible “for instance” of a change; Comex will raise the margins on the futures contract. They can do this at any time, and will most likely will do so after a huge price spike, in order to slow further price hikes. When that is done, the value of options will probably maintain some/most of that margin increase, while many may expect the Call prices to fall hard. So, be careful.

          Algo’s also create spread trades inside the options board, and inter-commodity spreads that are all part of the system we play in. As we progress in price, you may notice newer options being offered inside the Comex options board.

    For instance we start like this;

    $25.50

    $25.75

    $26.00

    Then the Algo’s start doing this;

    $25.50

    $25.60

    $25.75

    $25.85

    $26.00

    Then this;

    $25.50

    $25.55

    $25.60

    $25.65

    $25.70

    $25.75

          Imo, this is how the Algos start to hedge against loss, and will actually start to profit as well. All the while the OI in Silver goes lowers, like these past few weeks.

          The game is on, Comex is the focused price everyone is forced to use when they buy or sell physicals. Sure, physicals are the safest place to be, EVER! But Comex is where the leverage is (one contract equals 5,000 ounces, so are the options) and you can bank on the fact the bankers will be using Comex to profit all the way up and down, like before, but this time, with the addition of options. Enjoy the show, and as always …

    Stay Strong!
