Silver just hit $93+ an ounce today, which is the raw, bulk price. Add a premium of at least $14 an ounce for refining, coining or casting, and you have US Silver Eagles selling for over $106 now. Though the increase in the silver price is due to industrial demand, mostly in China, gold and other precious metals are following the price increase trend because of investor buying. Gold is at $4653, and platinum at $2415. Platinum is much rarer than Gold but hasn’t nearly the industrial usage that silver has and it’s price has always been about half that of gold, so it’s keeping pace. But still, this is odd. Platinum is not the most attractive metal investment for most people. It’s just a white metal, titanium looks a lot like it, so does shiny new tin, and neither one rusts. People who invest in precious metals usually buy gold and silver. Yet Platinum is actually rising faster, percentage-wise, than the other two.
This fact signals to me that it’s more than investors that are driving up gold and platinum prices. It’s two other things, inflation and war fears, hoarding, and platinum is CHEAPER than gold, a fact worth considering when buying.
Elon Musk once postulated that we might all just be programs in a Cosmic Computer. That’s since been proven impossible, at least theoretically, for now, but what’s real is that we ARE all living in a massive psyop. I won’t repeat previous posts, if you read them then you know. What I mean regarding this post is that there’s one hell of a lot of war talk going on, the media keeps yapping about it and making sure we’re dreading another big, big war and that we’re all worried. When people are afraid, they’ll do a lot of things they’d normally fight against if they felt strong and comfortable. Like giving up their rights and freedoms. Most people are followers, hence the name of this blog and my pseudonym, Black Sheep. I’m the one who leads the flock to where the wolves are and says “Either fight or be eaten”.
It’s time to respond to the ICE recruitment drive and join up. Be one of those who carries a gun for the government, now. See the writing on the wall, the world is moving toward a police state and if you’re not one of the police, you’re going to be looking over your shoulder even in your sleep. But if you are, you’ll be well paid, well fed and protected by the government. What you don’t want to do is dye your hair green or blue and join protests. Just like Antifa and BLM, which are paid to disrupt society, so are the road blockers, that’s why they’re protected too. They’re all under the government wing, but when the job is done and society has been sufficiently transformed, they’ll all be disposable. Don’t be one of them.
Because there’s not going to be any big, big war. That stuff is just part of the psyop. It’s a little late to ride the precious metals train but there’s still profits to be made if you have the money, just don’t expect to be trading your hoard for medicine, cigarettes and canned food, it’s not going to come to that.
Australian Liberals (Communists) are pushing a new hate speech and gun control bill that augments the old ones beyond what anyone expected. This is Mind Control on the edge, because if the penalty were more severe than the one being demanded, it would be death.
“The new 2026 “Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill” punishes speech that causes fear—even if no harm occurs—with up to 5 years in prison. It gets worse. The law applies to nearly everything: tweets, blogs, memes, even quoting scripture online. It explicitly states that it doesn’t matter if anyone actually felt hatred or fear. And it allows the government to go back in time and charge people for things they said before the law existed.” This is Ex Post Facto, after the fact, application of a new law which is one of the Big Reasons so many people escaped England and braved the dangers of untamed America. You could be charged for a crime when, at the time it happened, it was not against the law, but then a law was passed to make it so.
Many of these laws were entirely unfair and based on nothing other than what the King said, and you could be put to death for anything. In Australia, if this expansive bill is passed and Google AI says “Australia’s proposed hate speech bill has a strong chance of becoming law, with the ruling Labor government pushing for its passage in early 2026”, anything you said that this law condemns at ANY time in the past, can cause you to be thrown into prison.
What this really is, isn’t an effort to protect people from verbal assaults by others or prevent the feelings of some whiner or delicate flower from being hurt. It’s to force the population into total compliance with whatever the government says. Speaking out against a politician can be hate speech. So can complaining about anything the government does, or the price of something at a market, or a person’s appearance or behavior. ANYTHING. Displaying a flag “improperly”, a political sign on your lawn, cheering for a rugby team that’s fallen out of favor. Anything.
Canada and Great Britain are on this same course. Will the US follow it? We’ve always mirrored each other before, so will we stop and not cross this Bridge Too Far?
Remember how I kept saying that our government is a cabal and Globalist? That Biden wasn’t actually the president, that he was appointed? Well, one of my favorite sayings is that “hindsight is wonderful” because it’s often a lot easier to look back on events and see what should have been obvious at the time.
Back when Biden was still falling down on airplane steps, I said he was only following orders from the cabal. What was unclear to me then were the plans of the cabal, because they were sending mixed messages. One of them was their appointment of two really worthless people to top our government, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. These two people were so obviously inept and incapable that the dumbest person in the country knew he or she could do a better job. I wondered why such as them were given these positions as confidence in our government couldn’t have sunk to a lower low.
The answer came clear when Trump was made president again, as the majority of Americans were thrilled and willing to accept whatever changes he made as being far preferable to what they’d endured under Biden/Harris. This time around, Trump’s pretty much doing anything he wants and no one is stopping him, and it doesn’t look like anyone will. Plus, any president who survived two attempts to assassinate him must have a moral mandate from God, right?
There are those who question why his Attorney General, one Pam Bondi, isn’t having any of the many former government criminal actors arrested and prosecuted and why others are still in their jobs, but the government ignores these people and says that “Bondi is doing a great job”. She is, she’s doing what the cabal tells her to do. Dan Bongino quit as Deputy Director of the FBI after less than a year on the job because of Bondi’s refusal to prosecute. During his tenure, Bongino found himself saying things that he knew weren’t true, that supported what the cabal wanted us to hear and drew attention off a lot of people they don’t want a focus on. He quit in disgust. Poor Dan just isn’t a Cabal man.
That’s just one example, one of the more glaring ones, to illustrate to you the control and direction of our cabal government.
Biden/Harris was a psyop. It’s obvious now that the “stolen election” was set up to give us four years of utter shit government so that we’d accept a new one that’s steadily being converted to a Federal police state. An ICE officer just killed a woman protestor. He was minimally justified. If you look at the videos, he’s barely in front of her vehicle, could have easily stepped aside and shouldn’t have been in front of her to begin with, but this was the opportunity they were waiting for. As quickly as that happened, he had to have had his gun in his hand and was ready before she even stepped on the gas.
Immediately after her shooting death, the Right MSM and various members of our government posted everywhere that it was justified and a lot of people agree because most of us are sick and tired of these goddam protestors interfering with the removal of illegal aliens and our lives in general. More police is good, send more police, shoot the protestors and the illegals, damn right.
See how that works? I said here before, a global government has to be a police state, it’s the only way to keep people in check. Genuine freedom died with overpopulation and smart phones, the world has changed, and a global police state is the natural and inevitable evolutionary outcome.
Now watch as the Federal Police raids continue and expand. Watch while more protestors are arrested, blasted with bear repellent and worse, are beaten and shot, because the protestors will be throwing rocks and bricks and shooting guns and the Feds will definitely respond with ever increasing violence. These acts may provide the excuse to take over entire city governments.
Canada, our neighbor, is already a police state. Mexico will soon be under attack. Greenland, north of Canada, will become a US Protectorate at the least, perhaps a Possession and possibly a State. As Timothy Leary once famously said, “See how each part fits the whole”.
Trump, aka cabal front man, has lectured Great Britain on their assaulting free speech, which is what Canada’s doing as well and as if the US isn’t. The former colony still follows suit, as does Australia, to England’s moves, supposedly to accommodate the Muslims but more likely to simply allow less freedom generally. In the USA, free speech really is centered on political speech. The media of both “sides” does a thorough job of never speaking against Islam or Muslims, it’s only the minor news reporters on the Internet who have any voice regarding them and letting the MSM blast away at each other gives every impression of Free Speech being still alive in America when it really isn’t and is becoming less so. No one has gotten arrested yet for insulting Islam that I’ve heard of but that doesn’t mean no one has or won’t in the future.
I think people here as well as Britain and their former colonies are encouraged to speak against the government because that identifies them as dissidents to be watched and perhaps eliminated. Look what happened in Wash. DC on that tumultuous Jan. 6th. All the major dissidents who swarmed in were arrested and imprisoned on false charges. Reasonably, the CIA and FBI between them have investigated the family and friends of every single one of them and know who are persons to watch now. The Police State is here, whether you see it or not.
As another prophet, Bob Dylan, once sang, “The times, they are a’changiiiiiiing”.
The Government has announced that they will make freedom more free as soon as all the committees agree with each other on exactly how they’re going to do this, which is, pass a law to make permits to do things that we used to not need permits for, easier to get.
It looks like the idea of selling permits to buy permits is in the lead, with fee increases, of course, to pay for the extra time for clerks to approve, verify and file each Permit permit. We’re told that by buying a permit to apply for a permit, any sort of permit from one that lets us mow our lawns after 9 a.m. to one that lets us feed the pigeons in the park, will speed up the permitting process.
The first Permit will not be a specific permit to do anything, of course, except grant permission to apply for a permit. The fee for this Permit will be arrived at after the approval of the Permit Law, so as to quell the inevitable disagreements beforehand over the cost of it. Once a person has purchased a Permit for a permit, then the application process for the specific type of permit can proceed. Everyone agrees this will be faster than the old way, even though no one is old enough to remember exactly what the old way was.
The newsprint didn’t dry on the reports of Maduro’s capture and swift removal to a Manhattan, New York prison, before Pres. Trump announced his militaristic intentions for Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico and Greenland.
Well, who’s going to stop him? After all, he really is only the front man for Western Globalism and all the powerful people who give him his power. All those conspiracy tales of the “Illuminati” and “The Bilderbergers” aren’t just tales, they exist, they’re the people who meet in the Bohemian Grove each year and develop their strategies even as the Eastern Globalists do at their World Economic Forum, and they control the military power of the United States.
The USA is still the most powerful nation on the planet. China’s working hard to take that title by building up a big navy, but it’s a matter of logistics because, for all the talk about the US abandoning NATO, that will never happen and those nations are much closer to China geographically than we are. Western Europe keeps acting like they want a war with Russia, which in practical fact would also be a war with China as China would be providing armed North Koreans and munitions without being actual combatants themselves. At least, in the beginning. Later that might change.
Meanwhile, they’re rioting in Tehran and that regime may fall within days. If the Shah comes back, the whole Middle East will finally make peace with Israel, which has become an economic and military powerhouse of it’s own, is not a good country to mess with, and is backed by the USA. Saudi Arabia will finally come around and recognize Israel, which will have all the rest of them following suit. War between East and West Europe will be as much about area domination as depopulation. Trump keeps saying how much he deplores the high death rate in the Russia-Ukraine war and the fact is, they’re killing off about 50,000 people, mostly men, between them per month. Everyone lies for propaganda’s sake but the death total combined for both sides is said to be nearing 500,000 in what appears to be a pointless war unless you consider the rate of depopulation to be a positive result.
Now imagine if the rest of Western Europe jumped in. It’s easy to see 30 or 40 million dead over a period of several years, probably more. Imagine all the old 19th century neighborhoods and their inhabitants blown away. What a wonderful opportunity for urban renewal.
I love to speculate, and speculation is what all this may prove to be. We’ll see.
It’s now January 3, Christmas and New Years are in the dust bin, along with 2025. A Jew-hating Muslim Communist has been appointed mayor of New York City, and what better city to Globalize? Outside of Los Angeles, of course, which already has a Communist mayor.
Interesting, I was just looking at a list of “The 30 Most Corrupt Nations” and Mexico didn’t make the list? Who’s kidding who? Mexico is one of the Originals. Everyone in Mexico is corrupt, not just the government people and all the police and judges, but everyone. The shopkeepers, the bus drivers, everyone. So, even that list is corrupt.
A prediction: 2026 will be known as Year 1 of the New World Order, and heralded as it’s true beginning. I say this because all the pieces are in place now, or maybe I should say, in play. By the time next New Year rolls around, it’s going to be a whole different world. I feel it coming, just a hunch or premonition or whatever. Something heavy is out there on that river of Time and coming toward us. Big changes are in the air and BANG, first thing this morning, Venezuela’s dictator has been captured and he and his wife are on their way to an American prison. I started writing this last night, so Wow, I told ya so. More is coming, get a good grip on something.
At the local grocery this morning I wished the meat counter clerk a “Happy new year”. First, he said it’s too soon to do that, since tomorrow is New Years Day, then he said that he hoped next year will be better than this one. I replied that we all wish that at the end of every year.
Approaching another mislocated winter solstice date, this one provided us by the Romans a few thousand years ago along with Christmas, Tax Day April 15 and other blessings, is soon upon us. Yes, New Year’s Day will soon be here, an excuse for a lot of people to get drunk, behave stupidly and more will die than on a normal day. But it’s also a genuine day of new beginnings for many, too, who will set forth into their futures with heightened determination to achieve their goals. New Year’s Day is the traditional day to make positive resolutions about ourselves and our futures, and a few of us will succeed. The rest will forget all that and continue as before.
All the little forest animals, like deer and squid and iguanas, will be oblivious to this human foible of dividing the flow of time into clumps and parcels because those divisions are all illusionary, we do it for the sake of reference mostly, not just for days to party and celebrate. Though the way we act, you’d never know that.
The need for a New Year’s Day is simply the fact that a year is one orbit of the Earth around the Sun and in our ineffable wisdom we humans know that it has to start and end sometime and it’s up to us to say when. So we can get drunk and celebrate the end of another really awful year and gird our loins and other parts for what’s coming down the pike.
Until, of course, we get so many years behind us that it all just fades into The Long Blur. The yearly anniversary of my birth follows soon after the New Year and an odd thing is going on. Before I was grown up I, wanted to be, so I wished for the years to pass to become an adult. Then I wished for them to stop passing so I would stay young, and now I watch with pleasure as they keep passing and I’m still alive and healthy. Isn’t it amazing how perspectives can change with time when you have lots of reference points in the chronological continuum?
A pie chart I saw on Whatfinger.com this morning got me to thinking.
Tesla is a helluva lot more diversified than just car making, of course, the company is a leader in AI and robotics as well. It’s that valuation that really catches the eye, though. $1.6 trillion. Another valuation that matters is the weekend closing spot price of silver, which ended at $80 an ounce. EIGHTY DOLLARS AN OUNCE. Had to repeat that, I mean, Holy Crap. A few months ago it was half of that and what happened is the Chinese, who’ve been buying and hoarding tons of silver for years, have run out of it because they make so much of the techie shit we yuppie guppies Must Have, that all uses silver. The shortage is because their silver isn’t directly mined, it’s a by-product of mining coal and other minerals, and the ore grades are degrading.
So the Chinese have single handedly inflated the price. Supply and demand, that’s how it works. If they’ll pay $80 an ounce, that’s what the world price is. I happen to own over 800 ounces of it, so of course this price increase is very nice and I may even learn to speak Mandarin in appreciation. I may learn to sing in Mandarin if it hits $100, and it very well may. But that’s not my point, which is…
Elon Musk is deeply involved in China’s economy, he sold far more Teslas there than anywhere else, plus they’re still making them there and the batteries are made there. Elon’s also deep into the USA military-industrial complex, building god-knows-what for the military along with being an AI contractor, and his Optimus robot development is no doubt involved in that as well along with NeuraLink and StarLink and everything else he’s doing because he’s also deeply connected to the US government. “Dept. of Government Efficiency”, for example.
I know, I haven’t clarified my point yet. It’s coming. Elon’s relationship with the Chinese shifts with the economic winds, and China’s been making a lot more electric cars now, and cheaper, than Teslas, and Elon’s market share over there has collapsed because of it. I don’t know about Europe but there’s no Chinese cars sold over here in the USA, clear evidence that such sales are blocked by our government to boost Tesla. Elon has a Conflict of Interest now more than ever because of his dealings in China, which is why he’s built Tesla factories in the USA, has invested in rare earth mines and processing here and is building batteries here, now. He’s not alone, there’s other recent US startups in these fields. A lot of manufacturing is returning to the US but not the solar panels and other things requiring silver, and the more it costs, the higher the price, the slower the sales. Then China pays tariffs on top of it.
The wars being fomented against Venezuela, Columbia and the Mexican cartels by our government aren’t about drugs, they’re about oil and minerals. Venezuela has vast untapped oil and Mexico has the largest unmined silver reserves, while Columbia has lots of gold in the ground. Our government can’t form a Western Hemisphere Economic Bloc with nations like Venezuela being run by low IQ dictators who cozy up to China, so it’s necessary to get rid of them. One way or another. Because this is a war over technological advancement and dominance, boundary lines have to be enforced.
Check this: China keeps increasing their threats of invading Taiwan and trying to scare everyone away from defending them, so the US and Japan, instead of backing off, sell more advanced arms to Taiwan to defend themselves, and declare their intentions of coming to Taiwan’s aid if attacked. Recently the Chinese threatened to blockade Taiwan, yet this is something they’ve always been able to do and have never done because it would start a fight with the US. Now they’re building a big navy and making loud threats again, so the US is suddenly going hell bent for leather building new ships too. Both at least appear to be rapidly arming up against each other. Footnote 1.
So. China in the East developing new tech as fast as they can and needing to sell stuff to pay for it, the US doing the same. Robotics advancing like crazy, East and West sideline nations waiting it out and AI is the key because AI will provide the knowledge that makes the difference. Not the drones or the robot warriors being built, but the most correct maneuvers will establish final dominance. The war is territorial, technological, industrial, economic and political and the world deliberately created this situation. It was grossly obvious when Nixon opened China to free trade with the USA that this was going to happen, the Chinese government was aggressively Communist and even I saw right then where this was going to lead. The more they profited, the more aggressive they’d become and that’s exactly how it unfolded from the very start.
We could have shut this down at any time but instead encouraged our industries here to fold up and ship them all to China along with all the knowledge and technology, while creating a lot of unemployment and sudden poverty here.
All this stuff was planned out decades ago. The clash between East and West is orchestrated and the final winner will either be a big desert or technology. No idea which, which is what makes it all so fascinating and fun to watch. Footnote2
Footnote 1: “Appear” to be arming up against each other because while they are arming up it may not be against each other, it may be a guise to cover an actual intent to attack entirely different nations instead. Additionally, there’s been loud complaints within the US military about depleting the US reserves of bombs and artillery shells by shipping them all to Ukraine, but this may be to make way for entirely new types of munitions while making us look shorthanded to China. Smoke and mirrors.
Footnote 2: The constant clash between the US and China, the repetition that China is the enemy, the competition between us, sure smells to me of rotting fish and has for a long time. If they’re such terrible and dangerous enemies, then why are we so tied up in each other’s economies? This is comparable to selling bombs to Nazi Germany and buying their submarines.
What if the real plan is exactly what George Orwell envisioned? He foresaw an endless fake war between East and West that dominated everything else on the planet. In short, a Global government pretending to be at war to maintain a constant state of martial law, and isn’t that what’s developing now? look at the preparations for it in the EU, Canada and Australia where they’re all going Marxist-type Socialist now. Those governments don’t serve the people, they enslave and own them, and the USA will follow suit like it always has in the past.
The East and West becoming a united Economic Bloc and using their advanced Techno military to split the world in half and control everyone on the planet. Could be?
