🧵 THREAD: Silver, Simulation, and the System Glitch Nobody Talks About
1/
Financial markets today feel less like “price discovery”…
and more like simulation management.
Paper promises everywhere.
Real metal nowhere.
Sounds familiar?

In that sense, the Matrix isn’t just a movie.
It’s the perfect metaphor for the paper silver markets:
illusion of abundance
endless code
and the belief that “everything is fine”…
until one line of data exposes the glitch.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most people still think the paper price is “reality.”
It isn’t.
Reality is what you can take possession of.
Reality is finite.
Reality has weight.
That’s why stackers see what others don’t.

A large peer-review study from China (40,537 people, 3 hospitals, 2021–2024) found that a single wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Omicron BA.5/BF.7) was followed by a measurable loss of T cells that lasted more than 20 months.
Not a small fluctuation - a durable shift in immunity.🧵
Not a small fluctuation - a durable shift in immunity.🧵
Study headline result.
~10% reduction in CD8+ T cells still present ~20 months after infection.
For an individual - maybe subtle.
For a population -a meaningful shift in antiviral capacity.

T cells matter because they handle clearing infected cells, keeping latent viruses in check, anti-tumor surveillance, immune regulation.
If they’re low for a long time, the immune system isn’t just recovering - it’s operating with reduced capacity.

🧵 THREAD: What the CFTC COT Delay Really Means (and why stackers should care)

The CFTC just announced something unprecedented:
They’re delaying future COT reports because they must finish pastones first.
This isn’t just bureaucracy.
This is a market signal.

Reminder:
The COT (Commitments of Traders) report is the X-ray of the futures market.
It shows:
who’s adding big shorts
who’s taking physical-leaning longs commercial hedging behavior when the paper market tightens and when someone is trying to hide footprints
When the X-ray goes dark → transparency disappears.

The official excuse?
“Government funding lapse from Oct 1 to Nov 12.”
Okay…
But look at when this happens:
extreme daily volumes
chaotic COMEX OI revisions (two weeks ago)
elevated EFP/cash settlement
registered inventories bleeding
and price still refusing to break down
Right in the heat of the storm… the lights go out.

HOW TO ACT WHEN YOU’VE CAUGHT HER CHEATING
You just got the clearest intel possible: she’s not your girl, she’s just your turn.
1. Don’t confront her, don’t argue, don’t ask “who is he” or “why.”
That’s weak, jealous energy. You lose the second you open that topic.

Simone Tata, the visionary who transformed Lakmé into India's leading cosmetic brand, passed away yesterday in Mumbai. She was 95. We recount the remarkable story of how Goddess Lakshmi inspired the most well-known cosmetic brand of India. 1/16

The story begins in India in the 1950s, a nascent democracy that was unavoidably going through growth pains. Reportedly, the Nehru administration had realised that Indian women were spending a lot of money on imported cosmetics. 2/16
According to M.O. Mathai’s acclaimed book “My days with Nehru,” Indian urban women were furious when the Union Finance Minister halted all imports of foreign cosmetics due to a lack of foreign currency. Telegrams and letters poured into the PM’s office. 3/16
The reason so many Zionists truly believe that Ms. Rachel being against the massacre of Palestinian children is “bad” is because they refuse to see Palestinians as human beings so their children are not children but simply targets to be rid of. It is a deeply embedded evil.
Because no matter your feelings on the genocide or “war”. No matter your feelings on the socio-political issues when it comes to Israel & Palestine any decent human being would consider that children being killed is objectively a bad thing. Zionists don’t think it is.
Nothing Ms. Rachel has said has been anti-semitic. It hasn’t even been anti-Zionist. It hasn’t even been anti-Israel. It has been the most pacifist take of all: “hey killing children is bad and I stand against that”. Somehow they’re losing their minds over it.
How to Fight Back: Strategic Paths to Win the Information War
Let me propose some ways to reverse the tide. Yes, the other side is larger and louder. Yes, it often feels like shouting alone against a mob. But numerical disadvantage has rarely stopped history’s moral revolutions. Remember: J’accuse!—one of the most powerful pro-Jewish texts ever written—was not written by a Jew. Our friends have often shouted louder than we could.
So shed the “whole world is against us” mindset. Self-pity is not a strategy. We have enemies, but we also have powerful allies. Let’s analyze the battlefield and see what can actually be done. (Follow🧵🧵)

1. Who Are the Real Anti-Israel Masses?
The two largest blocs of anti-Israel activism are Muslims and Marxists.
The noise from fringe right-wing pundits (Tucker, Candace, etc.) distracts many people, but they do not fill the streets. Their followers click “like,” not Molotov cocktails. The real street force—riots, marches, intimidation—comes overwhelmingly from Muslims and Marxist radicals.
About Muslims:
As individuals, you cannot influence them. They are soldiers in a broader ideological war fueled by foreign leadership—from Iran to Qatar. Their behavior changes only when their leadership is pressured.
A perfect example: the single, symbolic strike in Doha that jolted Qatar into recalculating its stance—after years of obstinacy and tens of thousands dead in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. When even the general, not just the foot soldiers, felt threatened, the retreat began immediately.
Diplomacy and military leverage can change the Muslim front. Individuals cannot.
About Marxists:
This is where your personal involvement matters, because Marxists—like Islamists—also operate as a military-style hierarchy: foot soldiers, officers, generals.
Let’s start with the soldiers.

2. Understanding the Foot Soldiers of the Anti-Israel Mob
The rank-and-file of anti-Israel activism are not motivated by love for Palestinians. They are frustrated people searching for meaning, dissolving their empty personal lives into a grand crusade. “Palestine” is simply their modern opium—an emotional escape hatch.
They cannot fix their own lives, so they immerse themselves in unattainable causes. The more distant the goal, the better. Their demonstrations look less like humanitarian vigils and more like barbarian celebrations—euphoric, manic, tribal. Their true hatred is not aimed at Israel or Jews, but at the Western civilization in which they feel alienated.
Why Israel? We’ll get to that when we discuss their generals.
Why Israelis struggle to communicate with them:
Most Israelis and Israel supporters are satisfied with their lives. Israel consistently ranks among the world’s happiest nations. Happy people speak pragmatism; fanatics speak absolutism. These two languages are mutually unintelligible.
Rational people are not the target
Some rational Westerners side with the mob simply to avoid trouble. They want calm lives. You will not convince them to risk comfort for lofty principles. Remove the threat to their comfort, and they drift back to neutrality. That’s good enough.
Fanatics, however, cannot be persuaded
Trying to “debate” them is like training harder at chess to beat someone who intends to punch you in the face.
You cannot extinguish their hatred—it's their emotional painkiller. But you can redirect it. Fanatics switch causes like switching video games. The key is to give them a new, emotionally rewarding “game.”
This is why forging connections with Europe’s and America’s rising mass movements is essential. Unlike passive media pundits, mobilizers like Tommy Robinson have proven capable of rallying hundreds of thousands into the streets. These movements can absorb frustrated youth and redirect their rage away from Israel and toward genuine threats: Islamism and Marxism.

36 years ago in the city of Timisoara, a small group gathered in front of a priest's home, lighting candles in protest against his forced relocation.
From that group, a voice will eventually cry out "Down with Ceausescu!", sparking what will become the Romanian Revolution.🧵

Following that cry, the regime's Securitate forces will brutally crack down on the small gathering, beating and arresting everyone present.
In turn, masses of people that had enough and have been brought on the very verge of dispair, begin to flood the streets the next day.

The regime will quickly give the order to coordon off the city of Timisoara, have the army and Securitate forces use live ammunition and "bathe the city in blood".
That night, in just a matter of hours, 300 people will be lying on the streets of the city, dead or wounded.

THE POST-WAR ERA (1947-1950): USA
In the immediate aftermath of WWII, the United States emerged as the world's dominant economic power. While Europe and Asia lay devastated, America's untouched industrial base and the Marshall Plan made the US the fastest-growing major economy during reconstruction.
Growth: 4-8% annually
