Assets once viewed as dependable shelters have suddenly lost their appeal given changing expectations around central bank policy and economic growth.

Because, remember the situation we’re in. Our government is almost $40 trillion in debt, and the population is in the grips of an escalating inflation crisis—what some people misleadingly call the “affordability crisis.” This isn’t happening because of “corporate greed” or because taxes are too low, but because our government is spending a tremendous amount of money every year and hiding the direct cost of much of it by printing new currency. The sheer scale of all this spending has put us on an unsustainable path.
And a major reason for this—arguably the primary reason—is because, after WWII, the government in DC used the American people’s wealth, and their own relatively strong footing compared to the rest of the global powers who had been more directly impacted by the war, to transform the United States into a highly-militarized global empire.
Using the Federal Reserve, the government brought about what is, in effect, a permanent wartime economy. And then, using the lie that the USSR was planning to militarily invade the entire world—including the continental US—as an excuse, the American political class built the largest and most powerful military in human history. And then, immediately, they turned around and offered this massively powerful military and intelligence apparatus up for sale to the highest briber—be it a domestic interest group or foreign government.
And so for decades now, the American people have been forced by our government to fund tens of trillions of dollars’ worth of unnecessary wars, military operations, and armament buildups around the world—not because they were necessary or in our interest to do so—but because they were beneficial for weapons companies, foreign “allies” that were good at lobbying US lawmakers, and the ballooning military-intelligence bureaucracy in DC.

Ayatollah calls for Trump’s blood in revenge for sunken warship: ‘The US will bitterly regret this’
A senior Iranian cleric has called for the “shedding of Trump’s blood” in revenge for a US submarine attack that sunk an Iranian warship, as chaos engulfed the Middle East for a sixth day.
Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli said Washington would “bitterly regret” torpedoing the Iris Dena in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday in an attack that killed at least 87 people and injured dozens of others.

Israel made the decision to kill Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei in November, and was planning to carry out the operation around six months later, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday.
"Already in November we were convened with the prime minister in a very tight forum and the prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] set the goal of eliminating Khamenei," Katz told N12 News, adding that the timing was set for mid-2026.
The plan was eventually shared with the Washington and brought forward around January after protests broke out Iran, when Israel was concerned its pressured clerical rulers might launch an attack against Israel and US assets in the Middle East, Katz said. |

El predecesor de Rubio afirma que “Trump puede salir de la guerra simplemente declarando victoria”
Antony Blinken teme que la ofensiva contra Irán pueda dejar a Washington vulnerable ante futuros ataques de Rusia y China
El jefe de la diplomacia estadounidense durante el mandato de Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, ha denunciado las “justificaciones cambiantes” que ha dado Estados Unidos para su guerra contra Irán, un conflicto que considera que podría agotar las reservas militares del Pentágono y dejar a Washington vulnerable ante un futuro ataque de China o Rusia.
“Me parece problemático asumir los extraordinarios riesgos que conlleva la guerra sin haber presentado el argumento ante el pueblo estadounidense ni citado amenazas inminentes que aparentemente no existían”, afirmó ayer en una entrevista con Bloomberg.

Rutte elogia el despliegue de España en territorio aliado en plena disputa con Trump
El secretario general de la OTAN subraya que un sistema Patriot español en Turquía “defiende los intereses clave de EE.UU.”
El secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, ha elogiado hoy el papel de España en la Alianza Atlántica y el despliegue de sus fuerzas en territorio aliado, incluyendo en Turquía donde un sistema Patriot español “defiende intereses estadounidenses clave”. Unas palabras importantes por llegar en plena disputa entre Washington y Madrid por su negativa a usar las bases de Rota y Morón en su guerra contra Irán.
“También quiero elogiar a España, porque España está desplegada en todo el territorio de la OTAN. Sus tropas forman parte de muchas fuerzas terrestres de vanguardia, muchas iniciativas y muchas misiones de la OTAN”, ha dicho Rutte, preguntado por el asunto en una entrevista con la agencia Reuters.
“Quiero felicitarles sinceramente por ello —ha continuado—. En estos momentos, hay un sistema Patriot en Turquía que defiende los intereses clave de EE.UU. en ese país, y lleva allí ya diez años protegiendo esos intereses clave”.

My take is different from media, Iran doesn't want nukes to fire them to Israel, the real intention is have supremacy of oil supply in the middle east.
Imagine Iran has the power to annihilate all oil producers and use that leverage to sends drones to destroy oil facilities in KSA, Kuwait and UAE?
Should world take the risk of that scenario? Don't think so.

US turns up heat on Delcy Rodriguez.
i think this is an operation led by the psycho and her allies in the US congress who were counting on MCM taking Miraflores.
For the moment there is Delcy until 2030 and if she does things right at least one more term...
in 10 years MCM will be 70.. still can run...but one could imagine new younger figures will emerge.
I think it would be very good for veni if "steady" Delcy continues.
The last thing veni needs is a demented psychotic woman whose every word is a lie or an exaggeration. |

Victor... what that article shows is that this war.. like most previous wars ... is built on a lie.
Trump's agenda is failing... the economy stagnated.. inflation is going up... jobs are going down.. despite tariffs imports are up and exports are down... the deficit is out of control as they have to repaid the tariffs and the fed is clueless as to what to do.
the dollar may be up these days.. but USTs are down and the stock market is practically flat... so money is not going "into" the US.
This war was launched simply as a distraction...
and however they want to spin it ..
it is inflationary... taxes have not been raised to pay for it... so it will be a combination of money printing (inflation today) and borrowing (inflation tomorrow)
which means it is good for gold and silver (and for the politically connected)... irrespective of which maneuver they use to repress gold and silver prices |
