It’s not “speculation”.
It’s physics: too many paper claims… and not enough metal.

2/ The key event most people missed:
London (LBMA) went dry for ~1.5 hours on Oct 10, 2025.
No offers into the cash/spot market.
When the world’s biggest spot hub freezes… it’s not a “glitch”.
It’s a warning siren.

3/ What that freeze exposed:
After removing ETF-held metal, the “real” available London silver was roughly:
➡️ ~140 million oz
Yet London trades 700+ million oz PER DAY in spot/cash claims.
That’s not a market.
That’s fractional-reserve silver.

"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies"
Amazing reporting in @WSJ :
wsj.com/world/russia/r…
“A European intelligence agency distributed a hard-copy report in a manila envelope to the continent’s most senior security officials...inside were details of the commercial plans the US had been pursuing with Russia, including jointly mining rare earths in the Arctic.”
"A question for history will be whether Putin entertained this approach in the interest of ending the war, or as a ploy to pacify the U.S. while prolonging a conflict he believes is his place in history to slowly, ineluctably win"
Excellent WSJ report on the Peak Indian levels of obstruction and amour propre faced by US NTSB personnel trying to help investigate the recent Air India disaster. At one point, a DOT official had to send Embassy Delhi staffers to physically stop NTSB officials from accompanying
an Indian team to a remote facility on Indian military transport; the obstruction had grown so stolid and the trust was so nonexistent that DC feared that our investigative team might meet with an unfortunate ‘accident’ at such a remote location.
TL;DR—it seems that our people seem pretty confident that the Air India captain committed mass murder air suicide, and the Indians don’t want to go anywhere near that, and are doing their damndest to obstruct and foul the proceedings to the point where we might walk away.

The Google DeepMind documentary "The Thinking Game" continues to make me think.
Demis Hassabis understood early on that games would be key to AI. Consequently, it's no surprise that Google DeepMind has been building on games and real-life experience from the very beginning: Theme Park manager at Bullfrog when he was 17 (before Deepmind), Starcraft 2 with AlphaStar, and "GO" world champion AlphaGo and AlphaZero.
In a way, Genie 3 is also a platform of play. Just as children playfully learn to understand and test their environment and grasp its principles, this can be interpreted analogously to AI, at least if one wants to go beyond purely text-based learning.
My only criticism of the documentary is that I wish they had explained more about the developments AlphaFold underwent and the improvements they made that ultimately allowed them to surpass the crucial 95% accuracy threshold; unfortunately, this wasn't mentioned at all.

More people than ever are struggling with candida overgrowths and suffering from symptoms such as:
-Kidney problems.
-Intense sugar cravings.
-Skin issues.
-Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, white coating on the tongue or gas (especially after eating carbs).
-Developing more and more food intolerances. -Brain fog
-Blood sugar regulation issues.
-Athlete’s foot, toenail fungus, jock itch, oral thrush, bad breath, acne and eczema.
-Chronic fatigue.
-Frequent infections.
-Leaky gut.
and much more as a consequence.
Yet most of them never truly resolve it and it's no wonder why.
Most people use the wrong supplements, neglect key mechanisms that keep candida in check by default and in general, follow highly ineffective roadmaps.
So here’s the BEST approach that can actually help you manage a candida overgrowth.
We will discuss:
-Common signs of candida overgrowth
-Tests you can take
-What Candida even is
-The most common causes in order to finally determine the main ones that are driving your overgrowth
-How to address each one in the most efficient way possible
-Common mistakes to avoid
-Breakdown of the most helpful supplements in this journey

In case you encounter this topic for the first time and wonder how can a candida overgrowthcan lead to these symptoms, here are some basic explanations.
First, it disrupts the balance of gut microbiota, reducing beneficial bacteria.
This leads to fermentation of undigested carbohydrates, producing gas and bloating by 2–3-fold as most studies suggest.
It also secretes aspartyl proteases and phospholipases, damaging the mucosal bilayer which can lead to bloating and general discomfort.
When it comes to the oral cavity, it forms biofilms creating a white coating on the tongue.
Then, it metabolizes sugars via fermentation, producing acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct that crosses the blood-brain barrier and impairs neuronal function, causing brain fog, confusion, and a “hangover-like” feeling.
In animal models for example, candida-induced inflammation reduced cognitive clarity by 30%. Candida also consumes glucose for growth and biofilm formation, causing fluctuations in blood sugar levels, especially after high-carb meals.
In diabetic patients for example, an ovegrowth led to a 2-fold increase in insulin resistance.
Regarding sugar cravings, candida albicans thrives on glucose and its overgrowth may signal the host to consume more sugars throygh gut-brain axis modulation of hormones that control our appetite such as ghrelin.
Many studies show that a Candida overgrowth increased sugar cravingsand ghrelin levels in 20–30% of patients.
Fatigue-wise, candida overgrowth triggers cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α, causing systemic inflammation that disrupts energy metabolism, the acetaldehyde impairs mitochondrial function, reducing ATP production, biofilms and mucosal damage impair nutrient absorption (especially when it comes to B vitamins and iron), which are critical for energy production.
Then, candida overgrowth overwhelms mucosal immunity, reducing IgA and phagocytic activity, increasing susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections.
And finally when it comes to effects such as developing a leaky gut and food intolerances, the overgrowth degrades tight junction proteins such as occludin and ZO-1 (it’s shown to reduce ZO-1 expression by 40%), increasing intestinal permeability allowing toxins and antigens to leak into the bloodstream triggering immune responses and food intolerances (Candida-induced leaky gut has shown to lead to a 30% increase in food intolerances).

But the problems don't end here.
An overgrowth will also:
1. Increase D-Arabinitol.
Unlike L-arabinitol (produced by humans), D-arabinitol is specific to fungal metabolism. D-arabinitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol) produced by certain fungi, including Candida albicans and other Candida species, during carbohydrate metabolism (candida metabolizes glucose into D-arabinitol via the pentose phosphate pathway).
2. Pyruvate accumulation and thiamine (B1) deficiency.
Pyruvate is an intermediate in glucose metabolism, formed after glycolysis and is converted into acetyl-CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) for entry into the citric acid cycle.
The problem now is that acetaldehyde inhibits PDH by binding to its coenzyme A or thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) (*) sites and excess pyruvate is shunted to lactate production through lactate dehydrogenase.
(*)Acetaldehyde inactivates thiamine by binding to its active sites.
*Partly why a lot of people who have a candida overgrowth and start using thiamine as a pre-workout, anecdotally improve their endurance at the gym by 20-30-40%.
3. Urea cycle dysfunction (why a lot of people who have a candida overgrowth get severe headaches after supplementing glutamine without any magnesium or P5P (ammonia crosses the BBB)).
Candida can produce ammonia as a byproduct of amino acid metabolism and thus overwhelm the urea cycle, leading to accumulation of intermediates such as ornithine, citrulline or ammonia itself (the urea cycle detoxifies ammonia into urea via enzymes like carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and ornithine transcarbamylase).
4. Increased BBB (blood-brain-barrier) permeability. Acetaldehyde disrupts tight junction proteins such as occludin and claudin-5 in BBB endothelial cells, yet chronic BBB dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and even multiple sclerosis.
5. Increased oxalic acid production (and absorption).
Oxalic acid is produced by Candida via the glyoxylate cycle, which converts carbohydrates into oxalates
Why is this a problem?
Because oxalates overall can cause joint pain, insomnia, prostate issues, kidney issues, skin issues, brain fog, fatigue, hair loss, issues with eyesight and even affect autism and your blood vessels believe it or not.

for it because I was a staunch advocate for supporting Ukraine. I don't care. I have a colleague who had to flee from Donbas because of the war. He sat in a cellar in Bucha -where he fled to- for two weeks while Russians where slaughtering "brothers". I have Bosnian friends ⬇️

Cognitive PASC (COVID brain fog with measurable cognitive decline) isn’t just another flavor of long COVID.
This new important study shows its a biologically distinct condition that carries features resembling early neurodegenerative processes - even after mild COVID🧵

Evidence of brain injury in cognitive PASC -
The cognitive PASC group shows clear signs of astroglial injury
elevated GFAP (astrocyte damage marker)
NfL not elevated, meaning no widespread axonal destruction
This suggests a chronic, low-grade neuroinflammatory–degenerative stress.
