‘China’s growing diplomatic and military pressure against Taiwan is the main source of cross-Strait tension. Countries on both sides of the Atlantic are increasingly worried about the potential of a military conflict’

‘.. it is evident that a major crisis in the Indo- Pacific would have immediate repercussions for European security as the US would redeploy military resources from Europe and adjacent areas.’
‘In sum, convergence is real, but important voices have warned against Eu- rope taking sides in what some perceive as a competition primarily between the US and China...’
‘French President Emmanuel Macron said, “a situation to join all together against China, this is a scenario of the highest possible conflictuality. This one, for me, is counterproductive.”’
‘Chancellor Angela Merkel said much the same and argued against the “building of blocs.” .. European reluctance about entering into confrontation with China is also evident in surveys.’
‘However, there have been a range of level playing field issues between the US and the EU themselves that have distracted them from jointly tackling level playing field issues North American and European companies face in China.’ 😉

Why are Western political leaders and media silent about the obvious orchestrated censorship by Big Tech?

Why do they also keep silent about the many manipulated financial markets?

How can they still say we live in a free democracy, with open markets?

#cronystateCapitalism
Why do we accept censorship, crony capitalism, loss of national autonomy and ever increasing debasement of money, as a normal development, towards a system called ‘technocracy’.

When the mass will wake up it will be too late (or did we past the point of no return already)?
Imho all part of the ongoing Big/Great Reset.

So much changing in so little time.

The WEF/IMF/BIS/EU all state many systems will need to change now, without ever asking the people about it in any election …

The West is move pretty fast towards a Technocracy, like China.

'the implication of physical gold inevitably revaluing to something like USD 55,000 per ounce is gravitational'

'It’s the 100-year life story of the US dollar reserve monetary and financial system (the $IMFS), now
afflicted with so grave an ailment that only time will tell if it will succumb or be left, at the very least, in a state of virtual absurdity. I predict it will succumb ..'
what happened in 1971 was essentially the collapse of the international monetary and financial system. The London Gold Pool was a last-ditch effort to control the free-market
price of gold in support of the Bretton Woods gold convertibility scheme, and that collapsed in 1968.

FED just said they will keep buying almost 1500 BILLION of U$ Treasuries in the next 12 months because investors don't want to support the dollar any longer (.. at least at current rates)

This is the Monetization of Debt

The nuclear option

FED is cornered

A Reset is next ..
Want proof?

Growth FED balance sheet last 12 months:

$1310 BILLION

86% used to buy $1127 BILLION of U$ Treasuries

By driving down silver, by selling even more paper silver, they only bought a weeks more time.

But the problem is now even LARGER. More people want to buy the shiny white stuff now it’s even cheaper.

So they are cornered and that’s why they need an emergency meeting imho
Sometime central bankers are trapped.

Example: you can’t print your way out of inflation (CB’s trapped)

Ex 2: you can’t print metals. Palladium prices exploded in 2019, after the physical demand overwhelmed paper supply.

The same is happening now in this #silvershortsqueeze
In 2011, just like 1980, Wall Steer almost lost control over the silver market, when prices jumped to $50

By changing the rules (1980) and/or bombarding the market with paper silver (remember the nightly raid May 1st in 2011?) they succeeded to stay in control.

What’s next???

Now there is no retail physical silver left, the only route open to silver exposure is via listed equities and ETF’s ..

expect many to gap open +10-20% ..

based on historical conditions they could easily run 100% next week (happened in 2002 as well) #silversqueeze
When the silver paper (future) market breaks (not so sure yet) silver might run to $100 in a relative short time

In that scenario silver equities and ETF’s will go up much, much more

But Gov’s will try to pull all tricks to avoid this COMEX collapse
A COMEX silver collapse might lead to a COMEX gold collapse as well .. that’s when it gets really scary ..

This is why a silver CRIMEX collapse has to be avoided at all times

This all is true Big Reset stuff, read it for free (full PDF cdfund.com)
