December is the front & delivery month at the COMEX.
That’s when the biggest physical deliveries take place.
And London (LBMA) is already running low. 👇

📉 TF Metals Report:
London silver stocks drawn down again in October
46 M oz drained from New York
22 M oz drained from Shanghai
Part of that metal was shipped to London just to keep it alive
You can’t print silver.

China's goods and services data on a balance of payments basis is now effectively out for q3 (with the September monthly data) -- and on a balance of payments basis, exports jumped up a bit in q3

The q2 surplus using China's (whacky) BoP methodology was well below the q2 customs surplus -- but the q3 BoP surplus is strong, and up v q2 (while the customs surplus is down)

So my estimate for the q3 current account surplus is just over $200b ($800b annualized) -- or well above q2 ...

Thread 🧵 ~ In October 2025, I recorded around 68 suspicious cargo aircraft arriving in eastern Libya 🇱🇾 from the UAE 🇦🇪 & Bosaso Airport in Puntland 🇸🇴.
This surge in flights coincides with reports stating that the UAE has doubled its support to the RSF in recent months. 1/

I have compiled a detailed list of these flights, along with brief notes on each series, to help illustrate the scale of this ongoing operation, which has grown since April 2023. In total, 45 cargo flights arrived directly from the UAE 🇦🇪, while 23 originated from Bosaso. 2/
The satellite images here confirm sustained high activity at Kufrah Airport in September and October 2025, with at least three IL-76TD aircraft arriving each day.
Located in southeastern Libya 🇱🇾, the airport remains a crucial supply hub for the RSF operating in Sudan 🇸🇩. 3/

🔴 Ben Gvir Calls for Death Penalty While Standing Over Bound Palestinian Prisoners
Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video on his Telegram channel on October 31, standing over Palestinian detainees lying face-down, bound and blindfolded, declaring: “These guys … the Nukhba who came to kill children and women … there’s still something that must be done — the death penalty for the terrorists.”
It was his second such prison visit this month, renewing calls for executions as Israel arbitrarily detains thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza. Rights groups say his theatrics signal the deepening systemic torture inside Israel’s prisons, where starvation and abuse have already been widely documented.
For more details on conditions in Israeli prisons and detention sites, see report by PBS linked below.

Israel announced on Tuesday that it will bar the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian detainees held under the so-called “unlawful combatants” law — a measure first enacted in 2002 that permits indefinite imprisonment without charge or trial of Palestinian individuals in military facilities.
Israel operates two parallel detention systems for Palestinians. Administrative detention, used mainly in the West Bank, allows the military to hold people for renewable six-month terms without charge, based on secret evidence of a supposed “security threat.” The Unlawful Combatants Law, passed in 2002 and applied mostly to people from Gaza, goes further — permitting indefinite detention without trial for anyone labeled an “enemy fighter.” While administrative detention is reviewed by military courts, the combatants law places detainees almost entirely outside judicial oversight, creating a harsher, open-ended regime of imprisonment.
Like many Americans, we are thankful for Mr. Bridenstine’s service leading NASA at one point. He deserves credit for spearheading the creation of the Artemis Program.
After departing NASA, he created a lobbying firm called the Artemis Group, representing a host of aerospace companies vying for NASA business → opensecrets.org/federal-lobbyi…

Mr. Bridenstine’s current campaign against Starship is either misguided or intentionally misleading.
SpaceX was selected to design and develop a Human Landing System for Artemis along with Blue Origin and Dynetics during Mr. Bridenstine's tenure as NASA Administrator → nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Starship was then selected by NASA for the Artemis III mission through fair and open competition after being identified as the best and lowest risk technical option – and the lowest price by a wide margin – by the civil servant team appointed to lead the agency’s exploration mission by Mr. Bridenstine himself:

United States Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
Do you recall when, in December of 2022, the U.S. Virgin Islands and victims of Epstein and Maxwell brought a complaint against JPMorgan Chase Bank over the bank's elationship with Epstein?
Do you recall when, in December of 2022, the U.S. Virgin Islands and victims of Epstein and Maxwell brought a complaint against JPMorgan Chase Bank over the bank's elationship with Epstein?
The complaint alleged that JP Morgan "knowingly facilitated, sustained, and concealed the human trafficking network operated by Jeffrey Epstein"
9 months later they reached a settlement for $75 million.
🚨🌲 New research reveals that even intact boreal forests, some of the planet’s strongest natural carbon sinks, lose their ability to absorb CO₂ as they age.
Here’s what the scientists found & why it matters for our climate models🧵1/9 #CarbonSink #CarbonRemoval

2/ Boreal forests cover vast regions across Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia and store enormous amounts of carbon in trees and soil.
They’re often seen as stable, long-term carbon sinks, but this study challenges that assumption with new global-scale data.

3/ Using seven global Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) datasets and a high-resolution forest age map, researchers tracked how C uptake changes as forests grow older.
They used a space-for-time substitution method, comparing forests of different ages to infer long-term trends.

BlackRock are way smarter than they look
While the market sees them selling - traders react emotionally
But they work the market on a much deeper level, finding every possible way to influence it
They don’t control $BTC directly - they just know how to control it without touching it

Capitalism & Communism were "founded" in the same year!
- Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations"
- Paine's "Common Sense"
- Gibbon's "Rise/Fall of the Roman Empire"
- Weishaupt in Bavaria
- Chabad in Belarus
- USA founded
...all in 1776. are we just expected to not notice?

I say communism was "founded" this year because Karl Marx got his ideas from Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati.
Some historians have even claimed men from the “Bund der Geretchen” (a Weishaupt offshoot) commissioned Marx to write the Communist Manifesto

We all learn in gradeschool that the “Wealth of Nations” and “Common Sense” form the ideological underpinnings of what we now call Free Market Capitalism, with the USA (founded same year) being the societal manifestation of these ideas.
helluva coincidence huh?

David French and assorted others. A thread. 1/11
The other day David French tried to say that the fringe right has now become the mainstream right, and that the mainstream has now been exiled to the fringe. 2/11
But for years French has been acting as though there was no conservative mainstream at all, alleging that responsible Christian conservatives were actually guilty of all the whitethink the left accuses us of. 3/11
