“If you do not know what “rare earth minerals” are, you soon will!”
An elemental issue
China controls roughly 90 percent of the rare-earth materials used in high-tech manufacturing, but the United States, Australia and Japan are exploring new sources that could end the Chinese monopoly.
The U.S. military is facing a potential crisis at the very bottom of its supply chain. Rare-earth elements have become the new oil, playing a major role in the technological advancements made in the last 50 years. Everything from GPS navigation capability, cell phones, fiber optics, computers, automobiles and missiles relies heavily on rare-earth elements for development and production. For example, according to a 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service, each F-35 Lightning II aircraft requires 920 pounds of rare-earth materials. Rare earths, including yttrium and terbium, are used for laser targeting and weapons in combat vehicles.

JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon warns U.S. economy could soon ‘deteriorate’
The impacts of the pandemic-era government spending and monetary policy that helped support the U.S. economy have faded, and that makes the country vulnerable to a downturn in the coming months, according to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
“I think there’s a chance real numbers will deteriorate soon,” Dimon said at a Morgan Stanley conference on Tuesday, according to a transcript from FactSet.
The U.S. has continued to see growth in total employment and consumer spending this year, even as survey data has shown weakening confidence in consumers and business leaders in the face of the Trump administration’s tariff policies.

Senate Report Exposes How Federal Health Officials ‘Downplayed’ COVID Vaccine Risks, Failed to Warn Public
May 21, 2025
The records show how U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials under Biden avoided issuing a formal warning to the American public despite a safety signal that the COVID-19 vaccines could cause myocarditis and pericarditis, especially in young men.

Photos: A fierce pushback on ICE raids in L.A. from protesters, officials
A series of surprise U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps in downtown Los Angeles on Friday prompted fierce pushback from protesters and officials who decried the actions as “cruel and unnecessary” and said they stoked fear in the immigrant community.
Tensions remained high in downtown into the evening. The Los Angeles Police Department declared an unlawful assembly and ordered about 200 protesters who remained gathered by the Los Angeles Federal Building to disperse around 7 p.m.

The Truth About Fort Knox and Gold Leasing
Whatever happened to the Donald Trump and Elon Musk visit to Fort Knox?
You’ll recall the buzz from earlier this year. Trump and Musk loudly announced they were going to visit the U.S. bullion depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky to make sure the U.S. gold was actually there. The press was invited to tag along. Musk claimed that his DOGE team was ready to “audit” the gold bars to see that there were none missing. I had my own views on the announcement (described below) but I certainly agreed this would be the mother of all photo ops.
For the record, the U.S. Treasury holds 8,133.5 metric tonnes of gold in the U.S. reserve position. Slightly less than half of this gold is stored in Fort Knox. The remainder is mostly stored in a secure vault at West Point, New York. The exact location of that vault is classified although I happen to know where it is. A small amount is held at the Denver Mint for coinage purposes. Legally the U.S. Treasury owns the gold reserve, but I point out that the U.S. Army actually controls it since almost all of the gold is stored on two Army bases – Fort Knox and West Point.

EXPOSED: Trump and Palantir Unleash the Largest Surveillance Database in History – Your Freedom is the Next Casualty
How Palantir’s Database Could Control Your Life
| The Silver AcademyJun 7 |
When Donald J. Trump strode back into the White House on January 20, 2025, the world’s gaze fixed on the spectacle—the executive orders, the purges, the breakneck pace. But what if the real revolution was invisible, humming in server racks and encrypted code? What if, behind the headlines, Trump and Palantir were quietly constructing the most powerful surveillance apparatus in American history—a database so vast and invasive it makes Orwell’s nightmares look quaint?
How much power is too much? And who watches the watchers?
The readers of this newsletter are leading the resistance movement.
Let’s cut through the noise. In March, President Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to “remove unnecessary barriers” to data consolidation, unleashing Palantir—Peter Thiel’s data-mining juggernaut—across the federal bureaucracy. The result? A sprawling, AI-powered platform, already dubbed by insiders as the “master database,” designed to merge everything: your bank records, tax filings, medical history, social media posts, citizenship status, and more. For the first time, the government is not just collecting data—it’s weaponizing it, turning the digital exhaust of everyday Americans into a tool for control.
What happens when your data becomes your leash?
Palantir’s Foundry and Gotham platforms, already used by the military and law enforcement, now serve as the backbone of this new regime. Their AI doesn’t just store information—it analyzes, predicts, and flags “risky” behavior in real time. Imagine: every financial transaction, every doctor’s visit, every online comment cross-referenced and scored by an algorithm. The government’s stated rationale is “efficiency” and “public safety.” But privacy advocates, and even some Republicans on Capitol Hill, warn this is a digital ID system with unprecedented potential for abuse.
As Representative Warren Davidson put it, “When you start combining all those data points on an individual into one database, it really essentially creates a digital ID. And it’s a power that history says will eventually be abused”. Are we witnessing the birth of a digital panopticon—where the state sees all, remembers all, and judges all?
Is this about security—or about power?
When Banks or Governments say “We’re doing this to prevent Fraud” Understand this is the Big Lie
Proponents claim this will streamline government, catch fraudsters, and “eliminate inefficiency.” But history teaches us that surveillance powers, once granted, are rarely surrendered. From COINTELPRO to the PATRIOT Act, every expansion of state surveillance has been justified by crisis—and every time, it has been turned inward, targeting dissenters, activists, and the vulnerable. Today, Palantir’s AI can assign “threat scores” based on your digital footprint, flagging you for further scrutiny or even punitive action—without a human ever reviewing your case.
What’s more, the Trump administration has systematically dismantled the few safeguards that existed. In his first days back, Trump repealed Biden-era AI protections meant to ensure fairness and accountability, replacing them with directives that prioritize “innovation” over civil liberties. The result? A Wild West of unchecked AI deployment, with minimal oversight and maximum risk.
Will you be able to opt out—or will your life be run by code?
We are hoping you choose Option 1.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about privacy. It’s about power—economic, political, and social. With Palantir’s system, the government can freeze your funds, auto-deduct taxes, track your movements, and cross-reference your every interaction with law enforcement, welfare, or immigration authorities. This is the modern-day “let us see your papers”—except now, the “papers” are your entire digital life, and the checkpoint is everywhere.
And the consequences are not hypothetical. Already, labor and advocacy groups are warning that sensitive health data—like gender care, reproductive choices, or disability status—could be exposed or weaponized against marginalized groups. The chilling effect is real: when every action is logged, every word is scored, who will dare to dissent?
Is this the endgame of the surveillance state?
You can Break Free and the playbook concludes this very article.
Historically, the U.S. has flirted with totalizing surveillance before. In the Cold War, secret databases like Main Core tracked “subversives” for possible detention in a national emergency. But never before has the technology existed to automate, centralize, and weaponize this data at the scale now possible. Trump’s embrace of Palantir marks a turning point: the fusion of state power and private tech to create a digital dragnet, where innocence is irrelevant and the algorithm is judge, jury, and jailer.
Can democracy survive in a digital prison?
Certainly Not!
This is not a partisan issue. It is a question of fundamental rights and the future of self-government. When the state can see everything, predict everything, and punish preemptively, freedom becomes a memory. The tools of efficiency become the tools of oppression. And history’s warning is clear: unchecked power, no matter how sophisticated, will always be abused.
So, America, the question is not whether you have something to hide. It’s whether you have anything left to lose.
Are you ready to live in a country where your life is an open book—and the government holds the pen? Or will you demand the transparency, oversight, and limits that a free society requires—before the database decides who you are?
“Gold is the money of kings, silver the money of citizens, barter the currency of peasants, and debt the currency chains of slaves.” This old adage captures centuries of monetary history in a single, piercing line. Gold, with its enduring rarity and intrinsic value, has always been the preserve of rulers and empires—minted by kings from Lydia to Byzantium to anchor their power and project stability across continents.
Silver, more abundant and accessible, became the daily currency of free citizens, facilitating commerce and enabling social mobility from Rome’s denarius to America’s silver dollars.
Barter, meanwhile, is the desperate recourse of those denied access to money—peasants and outcasts forced to trade goods hand-to-hand, always at the mercy of scarcity and want.
But it is debt, above all, that has forged the most insidious chains. Throughout history, debt has been a tool of enslavement, trapping individuals and entire classes in cycles of obligation and dependency. Research shows that in some eras, up to a quarter of slaves fell into bondage not by conquest, but by failing to pay a debt—whether for a business venture gone wrong or a fine they could not afford.
Today, the modern financial system perpetuates this dynamic on a global scale: fiat currencies are issued as credit, and citizens are bound to repay, their labor and future earnings mortgaged to the ruling class.
The freedom of holding gold and silver money lies precisely in their independence from political manipulation and centralized control. Unlike fiat currencies, which derive value from government decree and can be devalued, frozen, or taxed at a whim, gold and silver are tangible, universally recognized, and immune to the printing press.
In times of crisis—when governments impose capital controls, restrict withdrawals, or inflate away savings—those with physical gold and silver retain the power to transact, to move wealth across borders, and to resist confiscation.
This is why, for centuries, the world’s most powerful institutions and individuals have hoarded gold as “political insurance”—a bulwark against the arbitrary reach of rulers and the collapse of trust in paper promises.
To possess gold and silver is to reclaim a measure of sovereignty. It is to hold in your hand a form of money that has outlasted empires, survived wars, and weathered every financial storm. It is a quiet act of defiance against a system that would see you not as a citizen, but as a debtor—forever paying, never free.

USSS Ordered Destruction of White House Cocaine Day After Closing Case
Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation.
A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled “Destruction” states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration. That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn’t display a date for the destruction. But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12. Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it.

American Doctors Are Moving to Canada To Escape the Trump Administration
Earlier this year, as President Donald Trump was beginning to reshape the American government, Michael, an emergency room doctor who was born, raised, and trained in the United States, packed up his family and got out.
Michael now works in a small-town hospital in Canada. KFF Health News and NPR granted him anonymity because of fears he might face reprisal from the Trump administration if he returns to the U.S. He said he feels some guilt that he did not stay to resist the Trump agenda but is assured in his decision to leave. Too much of America has simply grown too comfortable with violence and cruelty, he said.
“Part of being a physician is being kind to people who are in their weakest place,” Michael said. “And I feel like our country is devolving to really step on people who are weak and vulnerable.”

Elon Musk blasts Trump: ‘Without me, Trump would have lost’
The alliance between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk dramatically fractured Thursday over the president’s major tax bill, which is pending in the Senate.
Trump called Musk “crazy,” and threatened to cut off government contracts with the mega-billionaire’s companies, which in addition to Tesla include the space exploration company SpaceX and the artificial intelligence company xAI.
Tesla’s stock price plunged after Trump’s comments and Musk said SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” because of Trump’s threats.

BoJ official sees no need to act against rising JGB yields
The Bank of Japan’s tapering of its bond purchasing programme should continue, a member of its monetary policy board has said, as the rise in yields over recent weeks had not been disruptive and merely reflected market expectations.
Speaking to business leaders in Miyazaki today (May 22), Asahi Noguchi noted that yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) had risen to nearly 1.6% in March. This compared with around 1.1% at the start of the year and around 0.8% last August.
