Silver Wars: Silver Demand Skyrocketing…Literally
by Jon Forrest Little, Silver Seek: Tyrants and authoritarian rulers have often manufactured crises or exploited existing ones to instill fear and exert greater control over the population.

Have U.S. circulating coins become a cruel joke?

Counterfeit laws are for you, not for uncle sam
A North Carolina man and woman were recently accused of counterfeiting $100 bills made from bleached $1 bills. The small team, with two additional co-conspirators, traveled through a few cities in North Carolina and into West Virginia spending their counterfeit hundreds. They were finally caught in West Virginia and prosecuted federally. Do you see the irony in this example of private counterfeiting?
How They Sell Inflation
A key justification of the Fed – of Keynesian central banking – is that the way to make an economy grow is to print money. This is the "Philips Curve" – a tool that claims a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. In that model, if you want economic growth, you print more money. If you printed too much and got inflation, you just print less. Typically by raising interest rates so banks create fewer loans.
Cultural Affinity for Gold in China Could Fuel Rising Prices Globally
Gold has lost $170 since hitting a peak of $2,050 per ounce in early May. But let's be fair to gold; it is up over 13% in the last year, 54% in the past five years, and 407% over the past 20 years. It’s natural for investors to view the value of gold through the lens of its price in fiat money, especially the Federal Reserve note. Perhaps a more useful way is to examine how commodities are priced in gold. Oil has not risen for over 50 years when priced in gold. GOP Rep.

New admission from the BIS that central banks play in the Gold market
While central bank trading is a primary determinant of the price of gold and other currencies, gold market analysis seldom makes any reference to the broker that provides much camouflage for central bank gold trading: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Of course, over many years the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) has amassed much documentation of BIS interventions in the gold market.
Silver: A Sure Thing?
I have contended for the past near-40 years, that silver has been manipulated and suppressed in price by means of excessive short selling on the COMEX, mostly by commercial traders which happen to be mostly banks. As a result of this decades-long price suppression, the law of supply and demand has become artificially distorted. The low price has reduced supply and current production and increased demand (both industrial and investment) to the point where a wholesale physical shortage has emerged.

Specie money: The forgotten currency
With inflation still at high levels, it is becoming overwhelmingly evident to Americans that Federal Reserve notes steadily depreciate in value as a form of currency. For example, an item that cost a silver dollar in 1913 – the year the Federal Reserve and federal income tax (16th Amendment) began – would cost close to $31.00 unbacked dollars today, as pointed out recently by Dr. Thomas L. Hogan.

by Jon Forrest Little, Activist Post: The G7 leaders say they are committed to reaching so-called “net zero” emissions by 2050 after halving global emissions by 2030. The initiative has many buzz phrases such as building a “just and inclusive” clean-energy economy. The plan vilifies fossil fuels and glorifies “green energy” with sweeping statements asking “stakeholders to improve their ESG performance.” But most of us are confused by what this all means.
