THE SUNSET OF THE US HEGEMONY
The "American Century" has encountered a structural wall. The convergence of military, geographic, and financial "vetoes" by a unified Eurasian bloc marks the transition from a unipolar world to a fragmented, multipolar reality.

Silver futures > $117 (yesterday)
+275% YoY.
But price isn’t the story.
Coverage is.
COMEX registered inventory covers just ~14% of outstanding futures.
That’s not a market.
That’s leverage with a thin physical floor.

REPORT: AUTHORITATIVE OVERREACH IN CPS AND FOSTER CASE
This case is very egregious. I will be changing names to protect the minors. Some photos may be disturbing for readers.
🚨 Panola County Grandmother Placed Behind Bars for Withholding Her Five-Year-Old Foster Child, “John,” from Visitation with Abusive Mother - Alleges Medical Neglect and Rights Violations 🚨
CARTHAGE, Texas - When Lisa Broomfield walked out of the Panola County Detention Center on January 24, she carried more than her release form. The 49-year-old grandmother says she left with visible injuries, unresolved medical issues, and a paper trail she believes exposes serious failures inside the county jail.
Broomfield was arrested January 15 on a contempt of court charge after withholding visitation in a long-running child custody case. She and her husband have served as permanent managing conservators of “John” since 2020 (when he was just a baby). Court records show the child’s biological mother, Carly Jones, faces pending felony charges and an active warrant for violating bond conditions, and the child had reportedly expressed fear of returning to her care.
“There’s an open r*pe investigation regarding the older child from when he was around 5. All three of her kids have been removed, tested positive for drugs, and all made outcries.” - Lisa Broomfield
In these photos, you can see the mother, Carly Jones, and her criminal history. You can also see her at “John’s” first birthday party, sitting in her 7-yr-old’s lap and engaging in disturbing behavior.

According to Lisa, the mother’s daughter tested positive for marijuana at seven years old “because Carly liked to hotbox the car to get her to sleep.”
“John was positive at birth for amphetamine, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, benzodiazepines, and marijuana.” — Lisa
Lisa states that she withheld visits after he made outcries, and the last CPS call was made by the school because he told them he had to go somewhere he isn’t safe and that he is scared of her (his mother).
Within days of her detention, Broomfield suffered a seizure. She alleges she was shackled afterward and left unattended, causing her to fall face-first onto a concrete floor. She sustained facial bruising and a chipped tooth.

She was transported to UT Health Tyler, where hospital records documented her condition and discharge instructions. Broomfield says jail staff later ignored those orders. Despite being placed on a clear liquid diet, she was served solid foods she could not eat. Her prescribed medications were allegedly withheld, and she says staff attempted to administer insulin she was never prescribed (a potentially dangerous error).
Over nine days, Broomfield says her total food intake was minimal, leaving her weak and medically compromised.
Conditions inside the jail, she alleges, were cold and degrading. She reports cell temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees, no privacy for female inmates using toilets or showers, and unsanitary conditions in solitary confinement. The day before her release, Broomfield says she was placed in isolation after refusing a tuberculosis test, which she believed she had the right to decline.
She also alleges jail staff attempted to coerce her into signing a HIPAA waiver granting access to her hospital records and told her she could not contact her attorney while hospitalized.
Financial discrepancies added to the family’s concerns. Deposits made to Broomfield’s commissary and phone accounts were unavailable during her detention. Only part of the money was returned upon her release, with no explanation.

In today’s Debunk of the Day (2), we’ll look at… nuclear blackmail. Vatniks love using Russia’s nuclear threats as a reason for surrendering or for not lifting a finger to help Ukraine: “see, they have nukes, we have to give them whatever they want”.
The argument is absurd:

Nuclear deterrence has been a reality for decades. Both the US and Russia have lost wars without resorting to nukes. We are not submitting to the whims of Pakistan or North Korea either. For vatniks, it’s just an insidious way of siding with Putin.

We can’t just give in to the Kremlin’s nuclear blackmail, to the threats their officials and propagandists make five times a day to scare us into letting them have something they know perfectly well is not theirs, with no limit to their appetite.
