Consulting Giant Bans Whites And Asians From Career Advancement Seminar
International accounting giant PwC is hosting a career advancement conference for college students that discriminates against white and Asian applicants on the basis of their race.
The program, called the Career Preview, is a three-day experience set to take place this summer in Orlando that imposes race-based selection criteria on applicants. Selected candidates will have the cost of their travel and accommodations covered by PwC.
“Career Preview is a chance to really see what PwC is about, how your major fits in at the firm, and begin a professional relationship with PwC employees invested in your personal and professional growth,” the company’s site says before listing off the discriminatory eligibility requirements.

Musk says Trump ‘agreed’ USAID should be shut down, staffers told to stay out of agency’s headquarters
WASHINGTON (AP) — Staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development were instructed to stay out of the agency’s Washington headquarters, and yellow police tape and officers blocked the agency’s lobby on Monday, after billionaire Elon Musk announced President Donald Trump had agreed with him to shut the agency.
USAID staffers also said more than 600 additional employees had reported being locked out of the agency’s computer systems overnight. Those still in the system received emails saying that “at the direction of Agency leadership” the headquarters building “will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, Feb. 3.” The agency’s website vanished Saturday without explanation.

Trump signs order establishing a sovereign wealth fund that he says could buy TikTok
President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order that outlines plans for a government-run sovereign wealth fund to serve as an economic development tool and perhaps be used to buy TikTok.
Among the aims for the fund would be developing infrastructure such as airports and highways, and it could help the U.S. extend its influence in areas such as Panama and Greenland.
“We’re going to stand this thing up within the next 12 months. We’re going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a media parley. “There’ll be a combination of liquid assets, assets that we have in this country as we work to bring them out for the American people.”

Roger Goodell Discusses The NFL’s Full-On Embrace Of Its DEI Program Which Is Not Being Rolled Back
NEW ORLEANS – A considerable list of corporations and businesses in the United States have announced they are shuttering their diversity, equity and inclusion programs because they apparently figured out that hiring based on race or gender doesn’t often lead to finding the most qualified people. Well, the NFL doesn’t share that opinion and isn’t rolling back its DEI program.
The NFL’s robust DEI arm is going to remain, commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday. And his defense of the league’s DEI program was so positioned as to make it sound as if it’s not about tipping the scales to minorities and women at all.
Gold has been a tractor in first gear since January 1st. Many claim that the recently announced tariffs are the reason. I do not believe this, rather, I believe the Feb, COMEX deliveries are way outsized and require this gold from London to avoid default. In silver, the same situation is stacking up for March deliveries. Here is an in depth take of the “plumbing” behind the scenes;
Additionally, it looks like the Treasury department has been blindly cutting checks. Often times fraudulently and to fund some pretty evil operations. This revelation will have a chilling effect on the “trust” in the US both internally and internationally.
Another area where Americans and also foreigners will have concern is the pushback being brought on to Tulsi Gabbard. “Globalists” are shitting their pants after her testimony where she has basically said our intelligence community has gone off the rails. Her stance is noble and truthful in my opinion, I believe the vast majority agree with this. “Trust” is on the line here, and thus so is CONFIDENCE or the lack of!
January alone has seen at least a decade’s worth of change and action. I believe the next month may very well top January. Gold has already broken out to all time highs versus ALL currencies. Another way to say this is; ALL currencies have collapsed to all time lows versus gold, and thus all time lows in purchasing power. I believe the extremely long wait in silver will finally come to a head in this episode. We will find out shortly whether the silver even exists to make delivery. Below is a 5 year weekly chart of silver.
It is an easy view to see this 5 year period as an inverted head and shoulder pattern that completes once silver is over $35. The next target will obviously be $50. Going back to 1980, silver blew out to make a $50 top, the same occurred in 2011 to form a 30 year “cup”. Breaking over $50 now will finalize THE longest cup and handle formation of anything that I know of throughout history.
People ask me all the time as to what type of extreme numbers for gold and silver they should expect? I can only answer that this cannot be estimated in any mathematical way other than pointing out that the opposite of zero, is infinity. Yes, I understand that the word “infinity” sounds like carnival barking. But can the same be said for the word “zero”?
Just understand that every Ponzi scheme ever performed throughout history has ALWAYS ended at this number we call zero. Finance in today’s world is a fractional reserve Ponzi scheme that has run on one thing alone …CONFIDENCE! Confidence has been chipped away at for years as people see bullshit all around them with their own eyes. They see it financially, they see it socially, and also politically. Governments became so brazen as to try to shame people by telling them “who are you gonna believe, us, or your lying eyes”? A failure to deliver will answer any and all questions!”
“It will be much worse this time, especially for the US as we no longer manufacture much of anything. The adults might finally be in charge, but I think they skipped their history classes…”
The Great Depression Lesson About ‘Trade Wars’
In 1930, the Smoot-Hawley Act raised tariffs across the board and hurt the U.S. economy.
President Donald Trump has argued that “trade wars are good and easy to win.” But many economists have disagreed that raising tariffs sharply can improve the economy. In particular, experts have pointed to the failure of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, passed in June 1930, to protect U.S. industries from tariff increases.
Although this came several months after the stock market crash of 1929, the U.S. hadn’t yet entered “the full onset of the Great Depression,” says Claude Barfield, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. The thinking among Congress and President Herbert Hoover was that by raising taxes on thousands of imports no matter what country they came from, the act would protect American farmers and secure the nation’s economy. But experts disagreed.

Elon Musk calls Indiana Senator Todd Young a ‘deep state puppet’ in now-deleted post
INDIANAPOLIS — In a now-deleted post on X, Elon Musk called Indiana Senator Todd Young a “deep state puppet” over reports that Young would not support the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to be the next director of national intelligence.
Young has not yet said how he’ll vote on Gabbard’s nomination.

US Transfers 90 Patriot Missiles From Israel To Ukraine In Pivot
This week defense officials told Axios that the United States has begun transferring Patriot air defense interceptors from storage in Israel for eventual delivery to Ukraine.
Some 90 Patriot missiles will first be sent from Israel to Poland, after which they’ll go to Ukraine as part of stepped-up efforts of Washington to boost Ukraine’s air defenses. Russian missiles and drones have been pummeling Ukrainian cities, and especially power and energy infrastructure, on a near daily basis.
The Patriot system has become somewhat irrelevant or outdated in Israel since it was first introduced there some three decades ago. Israel is now reliant on the Iron Dome and its other domestically developed systems.

The Hidden Dangers of AI in Finance
Jim Rickards recently published a compelling article on AI risk for Insider Intel subscribers.
In it, Jim discusses a different way in which AI could crash markets. One that is totally separate from the DeepSeek, China, and NVIDIA angle we’ve been covering for the past week.
Today we’re going to review his key points and explore them in detail.
Here’s Jim:
“The ultimate danger arises when a large cohort of asset managers controlling trillions of dollars of assets all employ the same or similar AI algorithms in a risk management role. An individual robot working for a particular asset manager tells the manager to sell stocks in a crashing market. In some cases, the robot may be authorized to initiate a sale without further human intervention.

It Took $5.8 In Debt To Generate $1 Of US “Growth” In The Fourth Quarter
We will have much more to say on the composition of yesterday’s first estimate of Q4 GDP which as we highlighted was a very ugly print, and only another quarter of extensive government spending (the 10th quarter in a row) and a record beat of consumer spending relative to expectations, prevented the GDP print from sliding into the 1% range…
… but even if one assumes that there was nothing abnormal about the number itself, the context in which it was derived was astounding. Here’s why.
Bill To Block Firing Of Doctors Who Prescribe Ivermectin For Covid Advances
A bill that would block Wyoming hospitals and clinics from firing doctors who prescribe drugs for off-label uses, such as Ivermectin for Covid, passed a state House committee on Monday.
A Wyoming doctor who was fired after prescribing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 sufferers urged state lawmakers Monday to pass a bill preventing doctors from being fired or stripped of their licenses for doing what he did.
The House Labor, Health and Social Services Committee did advance House Bill 164 on a 7-1 vote Monday.

Bill’s Commentary:
“Just a quick thought; many of you may remember some 10+ years ago when Germany repatriated 300 tons of gold from New York. It took almost 3 years to get this accomplished as they claimed “it was just too much weight and too dangerous to ship all at once”. I researched back then and found a 747 cargo plane could carry something like 95 tons, so 3 shipments and another to clean up the scraps would have sufficed. Now, 10 years later and after forgetting that whopper, we are told that some 400 tons have been shipped in emergency fashion from London to New York. What has changed? Gravity? 400 tons is no longer as heavy? Or is it safer from an insurance standpoint to send $2,800/oz gold as opposed to $1,200? These people are so full of shit, they cannot even remember previous lies? There is a very real possibility that failure to deliver is the final product. As I have said all along, I believe silver will be the fuse to the nuclear gold market. Time will tell…”
Bill’s Commentary:
“Tomorrow could be a VERY interesting day chart wise for gold and silver. The last day of the week and last day of the month…it will be interesting if gold closes at a new high and silver takes out $32. “Supply” seems to be a problem here for big buyers, sorry, but fractional reserve gold and silver mathematically had to end this way!”

Despite Pardon, House Subcommittee Could Force Liz Cheney To Testify About Jan. 6
A new U.S. House subcommittee will investigate the events that took place before and after Jan. 6, 2021, which could involve requiring former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney to testify. “Buckle up,” said U.S. Rep. William Timmons.
Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney would likely have to testify before a new U.S. House subcommittee that’s investigating the events that took place before and after Jan. 6, 2021, if she gets subpoenaed, which a subcommittee member has already said is likely to happen.
Despite Cheney receiving a pardon from former President Joe Biden during his final hours in office, presidential pardons come with the caveat that they remove Fifth Amendment privileges for the recipient. The Fifth Amendment grants the constitutional right to not answer questions in a court of law.

BOMBSHELL, Peer-Reviewed Autism/Vaccine Study Draws Disturbing Conclusions
The pro-vaxx propagandists are going to have a hell of a time “debunking” this one, although they’re already on the case (more on the coming up). The “debunking” will escalate, surely, if they can’t achieve their preferred objective when it comes to inconvenient narratives of getting it sufficiently suppressed and memory-holed.
The study followed kids enrolled in government healthcare from ages 0-9 to suss out any correlation between the number of vaccine appointments and incidence of neurological disorders.
The result was a shocking, if not surprising, 4.4-fold higher rate of autism among children with 11 or more vaxx visits to the state vs. those with none.
The Reverend Al Sharpton’s stunt to support Costco’s “strong commitment” to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could be the “kiss of death” for the wholesale giant.
Despite a turnaround by other major retailers in dropping DEI procedures, Costco shareholders voted overwhelmingly to keep incorporating identity factors such as race and gender into the company’s policies. Sharpton suggested that consumers boycott companies that focus on merit.
With 100 members of his National Action Network, the MSNBC host walked through the Harlem Costco in New York calling for a “buy-in ” at a press conference where he explained that he had bought $25 gift certificates for the group.

“We’re going shopping at Costco because they’ve stood with us. People that stand with us, we will stand with them,” he said.
During a speech at Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, D.C. to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Sharpton defended DEI policies and called for boycotts even as President Trump soon issued executive orders ending DEI initiatives from the federal government.
“Why do we have DEI? We have DEI because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion. DEI was a remedy to the racial institutionalized bigotry practice in academia and in these corporations. Now, if you want to put us back in the back of the bus, we going to do the Dr. King-Rosa Parks on you,” Sharpton said.
National faculty union urges resistance to Trump efforts: ‘vigorously and loudly oppose’
Scholars should “loudly oppose” and resist compliance with the Trump administration, the American Association of University Professors said in a new report.
Titled “Against Anticipatory Obedience,” the report, published this month, states the re-election of Donald Trump poses significant threats to higher education, including potential assaults on tenure and academic freedom.
“As Donald Trump assumes the presidency for a second time, the outlook for higher education is dire,” it states, adding:
