Organizations associated with climate alarmism have recently found themselves engulfed in turmoil. Bill Gates has recanted earlier predictions of gloom and doom.

Let’s start with probably the best-known environmental organization in the world, the Sierra Club. According […]

Trump's 3 Choices In Ukraine (A Win-Win-Win For Russia) Authored by James Rickards via DailyReckoning.com, With the War in Ukraine now approaching its fifth year and possibly reaching a climatic stage, it’s timely to offer an overview of the situation. This overview has three vectors – the situation on the battlefield, the corruption scandal rocking Kyiv, and the prospects for the success of the Trump peace plan. The thread that connects these three vectors is the role of the Russian Federation and specter of Vladimir Putin. Let’s look at these vectors separately and […]

Iran's Executions Reach Decade High Iranian authorities have executed over 1,000 people between January and September 2025, the highest number of yearly death penalties conducted in Iran that Amnesty International has recorded in at least 15 years. As Statista's Tristan Gaudiat shows in the chart below, within less than nine months, the number of people executed by the regime has already surpassed last year’s grim total of 972 executions. You will find more infographics at Statista These figures are likely low estimates due to the Iranian authorities not publishing […]

French Government Plan To 'Label' News Outlets Backfires Spectacularly Via Remix News, A few weeks back, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new “media labeling” system, while also assuring citizens that this “media accreditation” will not include any sort of state-backed labeling.  Suffice it to say, these assurances have only stoked fears of an authoritarian creep into the media sphere.  Back in November, Macron had told La Voix du Nord that “a labeling process carried out by professionals” was in the works to highlight those media outlets that […]

Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse Via Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding. With the long-running, staggeringly expensive redistribution of American wealth and weapons to one of the world’s most prosperous countries under unprecedented threat, Israel’s advocates inside the United States are growing increasingly desperate to suppress the facts, opinions, questions and imagery that are causing this sea change.  Pro-Israel forces have long worked to […]

Americans Worry Most Among Developed Nations About Food Security Concerning nations surveyed in Statista’s Consumer Insights, Americans were among those most worried about food and water security. Indeed, as Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, while for most European nations, worry about the topic peaked during the coronavirus pandemic and the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, concern has remained elevated in the United States into 2025.

Embarrassing: Canada Very Belatedly Removes Syria's Ruling HTS From Terror List The fact that Syria's head of state got his start working for ISIS, and was a founding member of Syrian al-Qaeda, continues to produce embarrassing headlines.  One full year after former president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown and fled to Moscow, Canada has very belatedly removed President Ahmed al-Sharaa's militia group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, according to a Friday statement from the country’s Foreign Ministry. As part of the new action, Syria has […]

Flynn LTG USA (RET), The American people have just taken their first full breath after surviving an attempt to smother the Republic through a Marxist-inspired cultural campaign carried out largely through the administrative state, media, academia, and politicized elements of the national security bureaucracy.

Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" effort to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule amid questions over the exponential rise in childhood autism.

Newsom Pleads With Dems To Be More "Culturally Normal" Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, California Governor Gavin Newsom is dishing out advice to his fellow Democrats: pretend to be normal while he plots a White House run.

Ken Griffin Dumps Last Penthouse In Crime-Ridden Chicago Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is on the verge of dumping his final piece of real estate in crime-ridden, far-left–controlled Chicago, and he hasn't looked back since moving Citadel's global headquarters to Miami. Bloomberg reports that Griffin's penthouse at 800 N. Michigan Avenue, located in Park Tower, one of the premier luxury residential buildings along Chicago's Magnificent Mile, is under contract for $12.5 million. The price reflects a $3.25 million cut from July, yet remains well above the $6.9 million he paid […]

Texas Law Allowing Ivermectin To Be Sold Over The Counter Goes Into Effect Authored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times, A Texas law allowing ivermectin to be sold over the counter went into effect Dec. 4, but rollout appears slow as pharmacies wrestle with how to proceed.

Ivermectin gained popularity for off-label use during the COVID-19 pandemic, which influenced support and criticism of the measure. The drug was discovered in the […]

The GRANITE Act: How Congress Can Strike Back Against Foreign Censors Authored by Preston Byrne, Please find below the draft text of the GRANITE Act, a bill I have offered to New Hampshire legislators for consideration for enactment in that state. It could serve as a template for a U.S. fightback against global censorship, if adapted for federal use. It doesn’t really require a ton of explanation. The gist is simple: the only real defense a foreign censor has from injunctive relief in a U.S. court, as we saw with Ofcom’s recent fine letter to 4chan and the strategy […]

Generational Betrayal: HUD Reveals Biden Gave Illegal Aliens FHA-Backed Mortgages HUD Secretary Scott Turner told Fox Business on Friday that illegal aliens received federally backed mortgages during the Biden–Harris regime years. Turner characterized this as a significant policy failure by the previous administration and evidence of what he called misplaced priorities that favored illegals over American homebuyers. "You know, during the Biden Administration, there were over 12 million illegal aliens that came over the border, straining our housing supply and making the costs […]

Nearly Two-Thirds Of Americans Say College Degree Isn't Worth The Cost: Poll Authored by Gabrielle Temaat via The College Fix, Nearly two-thirds of Americans don’t believe that a college degree is worth its price tag, according to a recent NBC News survey.   Sixty-three percent of registered voters said a four-year degree is “not worth the cost because people often graduate without specific job skills and with a large amount of debt to pay off,” according to the poll.  Meanwhile, only 33 percent said a degree is “worth the cost because people have a better chance […]

Impeachment Mania Returns In Time For The Midterm Elections Authored by Jonathan Turley, The military has long had a saying that “when you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” When it comes to impeachment power, Democrats have long acted as if every problem is a high crime and misdemeanor. After two impeachments against President Donald Trump (including what I labeled as an infamous “snap impeachment“), Democratic politicians and pundits are back calling for the impeachment of President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Rep. Shri […]

Is A Backdoor Gold Standard Coming? Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times, For decades, I’ve been vexed over a monetary issue. How can we transition from the present fiat money system to a sound-money standard like we once had in the United States and the world? Clearly the gold standard was superior whereas we now have a fiat standard that has mired the world in debt and big government. A central-bank digital currency with programmable debt-based money and omnipresent surveillance is the dystopian nightmare of which many dream. But this would pile calamity on top […]

Today the short squeeze in the silver market continued with shortages of physical metal being seen across the world.

Institutions are turning increasingly bullish on gold, with many forecasting prices above $5,000 by 2026. Driven by record central bank buying, rising geopolitical tensions, and persistent inflation, the 2026 gold price prediction reflects powerful structural forces reshaping the market. Is your portfolio positioned for what comes next?

Yes, gold, silver, copper, but look at this metal...

Markets are holding their breath ahead of today's delayed PCE inflation report—the Fed's preferred gauge and final data point before next week's rate decision. Gold is consolidating near $4,235 while silver holds near record highs after hitting $58.98 this week. Meanwhile, Treasury bonds are suffering their worst week since June...

Look at who has lost control, plus another gold and silver bull catalyst.

As the world edges closer to the next crisis, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies told King World News that this man's predictions for the world are absolutely terrifying.

Silver pulled back from an all-time high of $58.98 while gold consolidated near $4,200 as traders await next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Markets are pricing in an 89% chance of a rate cut, while mixed labor data and plunging oil prices signal both resilience and caution in the global economy.

Silver just hit all-time highs — but according to Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard, the real move is still ahead. With a 7-year supply deficit, a historic 45-year technical breakout, and a collapsing gold-to-silver ratio, the fundamentals point to dramatically higher prices. Here's why it's not too late to buy...

Expect 2026 to be a year of market interventions and a scorched economy.

Most investors lose money because they never learned how to choose investments in the first place. In 2026, you don't need more complexity—you need clarity. Alan Hibbard's 3-question framework cuts through market noise so you can evaluate any asset based on fundamentals, not emotions.

Bank of America's investment team says the dollar's dominance is over—gold is in. Central banks are accumulating at record pace, the Fed is cutting rates, and jobs data is weakening. Silver just doubled in 2025. For precious metals investors watching the macro shift unfold, the message is clear.

We are headed toward crisis and the destruction of fiat currencies.

Besides silver, take a look at this metal.

Copper just joined gold and silver in record territory for the first time in decades — a powerful signal that investors are rotating into real, tangible assets. With supply tightening, central banks ramping up gold purchases, and global PMI data flashing slowdown, hard assets are emerging as the preferred hedge...

Today the price of silver futures traded as high as $59.36 as the price of silver remains in the early stages of a move that will take the price well above $100. And look at what is happening with gold, copper and oil.

Designing the perfect money reveals a simple truth: you can’t escape the Perfect Money Trilemma. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin endure because they choose security and decentralization over scalability—unlike most cryptocurrencies that only appear decentralized. This episode breaks down why real value always circles back to sound, Layer 1 money.

More reports of metals shortages plus a look at the road to $10,000 gold.

Silver touched a record high of $57.86 per ounce Monday, surging nearly 90% year-over-year as physical supply tightens and traders price in a December Fed rate cut.

55-year market veteran, James Turk, spoke with King World News about Friday's Comex shutdown and the wild trading in the silver market after it reopened.

Silver’s rally didn’t break — the CME did. As trading halted across major markets, silver kept surging, breaking out above prior highs despite margin hikes. With confidence in fiat eroding and price signals returning, this move mirrors the explosive setup of the late 1970s. Silver may be leading the next...

Gold pushed higher overnight as traders priced in faster Fed easing and Treasury yields retreated. But the bigger story: with Jerome Powell's term ending in early 2026, uncertainty over Fed leadership is mounting. From Kevin Hassett's pitch to a shortlist of five candidates, the race to lead the Federal Reserve...

Is socialism really “on the way,” or has the U.S. already crossed the line? Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down the systems, incentives, and policies that reveal how deeply government control is embedded in everyday American life — and why it matters for anyone protecting their financial future.

Trump's $21 trillion investment claim shrinks to $3 trillion under scrutiny, while delayed GDP reports and disappointing retail sales raise questions about data integrity and economic strength. With consumers tapped out from years of rising costs and producer prices jumping again, the economic picture is murkier than ever. Meanwhile, China's...

Most cryptocurrencies claim decentralization, but few truly achieve it. Alan Hibbard breaks down why most networks remain centrally controlled—and why only systems governed by math or physics, like Bitcoin and gold, avoid the risks investors overlook.

Gold held near $4,080 Monday as December Fed rate cut expectations surged, but a strong dollar and divided Fed officials kept gains modest. Treasury Secretary Bessent claimed tariffs don't drive inflation—contradicting CPI data showing a jump from 2.3% to 3.0% since April. UBS sees silver's pullback as a buying opportunity...

Mike just stepped off stage at the world’s oldest investment conference — and if you weren’t there, you missed something.  The New Orleans Investment Conference just wrapped with a record crowd. “We were bursting at the seams,” producer Brien Lundin told Mike.  But these weren’t casual observers. These were investors...

Gold investors face whiplash as conflicting signals roil precious metals markets.

This episode reframes value, work, and...
