Today Gold and sliver news 139

Really, the globalists want to cause an economic collapse in the United States. They want to cause uh not just civil unrest, but maybe even a civil war. Uh and they want to be able to blame that on Trump for all of human history to be able to say, "See what happens when you disagree with globalism. See what happens when you promote a free market and America first and national sovereignty and and you know, free market and all that kind of stuff." You get >> You're watching Silver News Daily.

This is a deliberate takedown, a globalist engineered collapse designed to wipe out wealth, consolidate control, and usher in a new financial order. But in the midst of this chaos, something extraordinary is happening. Silver is waking up. In 2025, it surged more than 170% on domestic markets, crushing every other major commodity. And that's not the end. It's the beginning of something far more violent. The cracks are spreading through fiat currencies, trade systems, and central banks. And all signs are pointing toward early 2026 as the moment everything breaks. If you're holding the wrong assets when this happens, you may be wiped out. But if you're holding silver, you could be staring down one of the greatest wealth transfers in modern history. So what exactly are these elites planning? Why is silver the asset they hope you never touch? And how far could it go once this engineered collapse hits full speed? Let's dive in. The international communist movement in Latin America my entire journalistic career. Uh, one of my first really significant investigative pieces appeared in the New American back in 2010, and it was an in-depth look on the communist takeover of Latin America. Uh, some analysts were starting to talk about a pink tide at that time. And I grew up in Latin America, so it's a region that's near and dear to me. I know most Americans really don't care all that much about what's happening in Latin America, but I I spent most of almost all of my childhood there. And um what was happening was the entire region was being taken over very quietly by a communist movement with help from the deep state in the United States. Uh there's a a shadowy network called the S. Paulo Forum that was founded in 1990 by Fidel Castro and the current president of Brazil, a communist criminal, Louisiana Silva. And their goal was to rebuild in Latin America what had been lost in Eastern Europe. That's how they actually put it in their 1997 uh minutes for their annual meeting. Uh that of course being communist slavery. And on its own that wouldn't have been all that remarkable. But what was happening was they had very powerful support from the deep state in the United States and in Europe. And that's how they were able to make so much progress. And at this founding meeting, it wasn't just uh the mass murdering dictator Fidel Casta. They also brought in the fodic in Colombia, the the mass murdering narot terrorists who now have practically taken over Colombia with help from George Soros and Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And uh the goal ultimately was to take the whole Western Hemisphere, which of course by definition means taking down the United States of America. And what this network specialized in was using uh proceeds really illegitimate criminal proceeds for funding revolution. And Venezuela was exhibit A in this whole process. uh drug trafficking going through Venezuela. Absolutely a huge industry. But also even the oil money, right? They they seized and took over all of uh the foreign oil assets there. The American companies lost their assets that they had paid for there. uh they were nationalized and then this money was suddenly being used uh not to distribute to the people of Venezuela as so many leftists and and even some on the right would have us believe but it was being used to fund revolution across the continent across the region with the full backing of communist China and the Russians. So uh what was happening in Venezuela was extremely concerning. Um whether Trump's approach to this is the right approach, I can't say. You know, I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions. But we need to be clear here. Maduro was not just a threat to his own people. He was a brutal dictator. He had massive, massive goolags filled with political prisoners. He was a threat to the United States of America. And he was working with subversives in this country. I mean, who could forget the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement going down there and publicly posting pictures of themselves on Twitter standing next to this barbarian. So, um, you know, again, whether Trump did the right thing with this, I don't know. Uh again, I'm glad I'm not having to make these decisions, but the fact is Maduro was a big threat. Um not just again to his own people who were starving, who were eating their pets, who were malnourished, 12 million of whom have already had to escape that country once, one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Um and so frankly, the world will probably be a better place without Maduro in power. But what comes next for Venezuela is anybody's guess. And I think unfortunately it could go south very quickly if um good systems aren't put into place. And and frankly, I don't know that the American people want to be involved in, you know, nation building. You know, hearing Trump talk about we're going to be taking over Venezuela for the time being. Um you know, that's not what his voters voted for when they thought we were going to make America great again. So, he's got a a very uh delicate balance to strike here between, you know, not becoming a neocon, foreign interventionist, regime change, getting us bogged down in endless wars that cost. >> What we're watching isn't a natural cycle. It's economic sabotage in slow motion. Global debt has spiraled past $300 trillion. Central banks are boxed in, and inflation has become structural rather than cyclical. But here's the twist. None of this surprises the architects of the system. In fact, it's all part of the design. Alex Newman and other insiders believe we're witnessing the final stages of a controlled demolition where the pain of collapse becomes the excuse for sweeping change. Digital currencies, centralized credit scoring, and ESG aligned finance aren't being proposed as solutions. They're the endgame. And when the music stops, those holding traditional savings and paper assets will be left with nothing. In this environment, hard assets become a lifeline. But not all hard assets are created equal. Gold may protect wealth, but silver, because of its smaller market size and dual industrial role, has the potential to multiply it. The deeper the collapse goes, the more capital will run to safety. And silver, already coming off a record smashing year, stands as one of the most explosive safe havens in the game. But the real accelerant isn't just monetary. It's what's happening to the dollar. And that's where we're going next. that the United States government is in big financial trouble. $40 trillion in debt, maybe 200 or more trillion in unfunded liabilities. The US government is in a major mess. Uh with that said, uh you know, one of the few powers that the US Congress does have under our US Constitution is to operate and maintain a navy. Uh we need a navy. I believe the US government should have the most powerful navy in the world. I believe we should have a very powerful air force and and you know space force now that it's there um because that is the battle zone of the 21st century uh that and cyber security and cyerspace. So, I want the US government to be uh able to protect the American people and and more importantly to protect our liberties, to protect our our fundamental rights, our god-given rights to life, liberty, and property uh in a very hostile world where uh the communist Chinese and the Russians and the globalists here at home are absolutely determined to destroy our sovereignty, destroy our independence, and merge us into a totalitarian one world system. So, uh you know, obviously the US government needs to reign in spending. Uh and and reign in spending is really putting it very mildly. I mean, we we need to slash and burn. This cannot continue. But all of it is a moot point until we get the monetary system under control. As long as we have a Federal Reserve system that creates money out of nothing based on debt and loans it to the US government, uh it requires perpetually growing spending just to keep the whole scam going a little bit longer. So, um you know, do we need fancy new battleships? I don't know. Do we need a powerful navy? Absolutely. Is that something the federal government should be doing? Absolutely. Um, but we have to get the spending under control and there's a lot of ways to do that. I I don't believe the US government needs to spend a trillion dollars a year on so-called defense. Uh, shutting down a lot of bases overseas, cutting a lot of wasteful spending. Uh, there are plenty of places where we could be cutting spending and um, you know, I I I do think we're probably headed for a third world war. Um, and and I think the globalists are trying to engineer this outcome. So, uh, we've got a lot of different angles that this needs to be considered from. Dunan, and I know that sounds like a non-answer to your question, but again, I think it's important to look at this from all angles. I do believe the CCP is a major threat to the United States now that American globalists have built it up for many decades. Uh, and so we need to be able to protect ourselves from the very technologies that are treasonous leaders uh, both in in corporate world and in government world have transferred over to this mass murdering gaggle of tyrants in Beijing. And part of that, of course, is being able to maintain our naval superiority, which means we need to find a way to build more ships, build better ships. I mean, if you look honestly at the Chinese Navy, the People's Liberation Navy, uh it's a very formidable force. Uh they are able to crank out ships like there's no tomorrow. We can hardly keep our old ships running. So, uh we have a big problem and and I think Trump does need to look very seriously at keeping our navy up to date so that it can protect our country. >> The dollar's decline isn't just collateral damage. its strategy. For decades, the US dollar has been the cornerstone of global trade. But in recent years, it's become weaponized, used to impose sanctions, control capital flows, and pressure geopolitical rivals. Now, those rivals are fighting back. Dolorization is accelerating with nations from bricks to the Middle East dumping dollar reserves and forming trade blocks based on alternative currencies and hard assets. Meanwhile, confidence in the dollar is quietly unraveling from within. Exploding deficits, unsustainable interest payments, and the return of quantitative easing under new names have gutted the greenback's credibility. In 2025, this pressure translated directly into silver's breakout. As the dollar weakened, silver became one of the most attractive stores of value for global investors, surging nearly 150% on international markets. But this is just the opening act. In 2026, expected Fed rate cuts and China's own monetary easing could light a fire under silver's price action. As the world scrambles to exit fiat before the next wave of dilution begins. And while mainstream investors remain distracted by tech stocks and political theater, silver is positioning itself as the ultimate hedge against what's coming. And what's coming isn't just inflation. It's system failure. Just look at how silver behaved in 2025. Let's talk about that next. This is to understand that uh from the very beginning, subversive globalists in the United States have been aiding and abetting the communist Chinese monster. Uh and again, I don't I don't want to downplay the seriousness of the CCP. The CCP, I believe, is a major threat to America, a major threat to freedom, a major threat to everything that we hold dear. But that's primarily because it has been built up for decades by the American taxpayer, by the American government. Uh so what we're seeing with this AI race is very interesting. Now on the one hand I understand the United States needs to maintain technological superiority over communist China. But uh that was not very difficult to do. Communist systems, totalitarian systems do not innovate like free market systems. Uh the only reason Communist China has any innovation today is because they have introduced a few basic market mechanisms and because we have trained hundreds of thousands if not millions of their best engineers and their best scientists at American universities. Why we did that boggles the mind. But here's what really bothers me. Dian Trump is saying that we need to do all this AI stuff. We need to waste all this taxpayer money on all these AI programs. We need to stop state regulation of AI, etc., etc., under the guise of keeping up with communist China. Uh but at the same time, we're going to allow Nvidia to buy some of our most advanced uh technological hardware systems so that they can continue the communist Chinese can continue to accelerate their development here. But I heard a very good analogy that I think is very appropo when it comes to communist China and AI. Um this is like you know somebody water skiing behind a boat, right? The United States is driving the boat. Our our country is far and ahead uh the leader when it comes to technological innovation. Uh the communist Chinese are holding on to a rope behind us and uh it's like saying, "Hey, they're going to catch us. They're going to catch us. We got to pour more taxpayer money into this. We got to do this. We got to do that and the other. Got to take away privacy. We got to ban state regulation of AI so that they don't c they're not going to catch us because they're holding on to a rope. They're copying our technology. They're being given our technology by subversive forces within our own government and within the corporate world. So I think the real solution to this isn't to give up our freedom and our privacy. It's to stop the technology transfer from the United States to communist China. And that's a very simple thing to do. Uh I'm not a absolutist when it comes to the free market. I don't believe we ought to sell dangerous technology to our geopolitical foes. And unfortunately, our government and our corporations have been doing that for generations. Uh and it may cost us dearly. Certainly our silver didn't just rise in 2025. It detonated. While the world fixated on gold's modest climb, silver quietly staged one of the most aggressive breakouts in modern history. On the domestic MCX, it exploded by 172%. Globally, it clocked a staggering 149% gain. These aren't normal moves. They're signals. Signals that institutional investors are rotating, that physical supply is tightening, and that something massive is building beneath the surface. What fueled this monster rally? a rare convergence of collapsing dollar strength, geopolitical escalation, tariff uncertainty, and surging investment demand. ETFs saw record inflows, London vaults saw historic outflows, and silver imports into the US surged as fears of future trade restrictions took hold. But what made this move especially dangerous for the financial system is that it happened quietly, without a speculative frenzy. There were no retail manias, no Reddit short squeezes, no CNBC hype. Just silent, relentless pressure. Real demand meeting a tightening supply. And that's what makes 2026 so explosive. The setup hasn't cooled, it's intensified. And as we're about to see, the supply side isn't just tight, it's being weaponized. Let's dig into that. Just before we get going, we just launched the official Silver News Daily Telegram. To kick things off, we're running a 10oz silver giveaway. Yes, real physical silver, not a voucher, not digital credits, actual bullion.

So get in early, stay active. And this is an area that is deeply concerning to me. Digan, if you look at the people within the Trump administration who are leading the charge on this, it it's basically a collection of the people that I least trust in the administration. Uh, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bass, AISAR David Saxs, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. I mean, if I had to pick out, you know, the five or 10 least trustworthy people in this administration, it's all the people that are working on this uh the stable coins, the tokenization of all these assets, uh these are people with a long history of involvement with the deep state, whether it be George Soros, whether it be Hillary Clinton. Um you know, Howard Letic not that long ago was a big Democrat donor. He was a big advocate of carbon credits. You know, why is this guy uh so involved in this trend towards stable coins and these kinds of things? So, I'm very concerned about all this. Uh, you know, whether Trump understands it all or not, I don't know. Not that that's an excuse. He's the president. He has an obligation to try to understand all these things. And if he doesn't to get advice from trustworthy people who can uh explain these things to him. Uh, so I'm very concerned about those things. Uh, yes, it was good that we banned CBDC, but it sure looks to me like the Genius Act, the Stable Act, the Clarity Act, all these things look to me like CBDC by the back door. Um, we know the Bank for International Settlements is still hard at work on building the international blockchain ledger through which they hope to have all these tokenized assets traded uh internationally by the way with digital currencies which of course require digital IDs. So, we're still moving unfortunately into this dystopian digital goolag. Uh, I I don't think Trump wants that. Like I could be wrong, but we're still moving in that direction. and uh you know even assuming he doesn't want it and even assuming he's got some super secret plan to stop it uh the groundwork is still being laid so that when he's out of office in 3 years uh we're going to see not just a resumption of this but uh we'll see all the progress that was made even over the second Trump administration. So I'm very concerned about all those things. I I have been very very skeptical of the US dollar for a long time. Um you know the the US dollar is in a very precarious position. Uh now I what Trump is doing internationally when it for example this uh operation in Venezuela and and recently he's been talking about now uh you know Colombia may be next or Iran may be next. Um that could go one of two ways right it could convince the rest of the world uh-oh we better fall in line or you know we might be next um or it could convince the rest of the world hey the United States is completely out of control uh we we cannot continue to play along with this anymore. We've got to build uh rival systems. We've got to dd dollararize. We've got to stop buying this garbage treasury paper and we've got to try a new approach. So whi which way it will end up going, I don't know. Um you know if the rest of the world does fall in line and say, "All right, the United States is still the top dog and there's nothing we can do to challenge it without putting ourselves at great risk." You know, we could see I even just today when we're recording this D and the dollar's up, you know, I follow closely the the dollar versus the Swiss Frank. The dollar's quite a bit up today versus the Swiss Frank. Uh could that persist for another few years? Sure. But I think over the long term uh the dollar's demise is almost in what's happening behind the scenes in the silver supply chain should terrify every investor who's still asleep. We're not just facing scarcity. We're entering an era of weaponized shortages. China, one of the largest players in the global silver market, has already announced sweeping export restrictions starting in 2026. Silver exporters will now need governmentissued licenses. A move that doesn't just tighten supply, it puts a chokeold on global trade flows. At the same time, stockpiles in Shanghai have collapsed to decade lows and London vaults have seen relentless draw downs. This isn't natural attrition. This is the setup for a historic squeeze and it's not just happening overseas. In the US, ETF demand continues to pull physical silver off the market. While tariffs and supply chain uncertainty are driving increased domestic hoarding, even the US Geological Survey has added silver to its list of critical minerals. A quiet but powerful signal that Washington knows what's coming. But here's where it gets even more dangerous. As prices surged in 2025, many industrial buyers began thrifting, reducing silver usage wherever possible. That means when the next wave of industrial demand hits from solar, EVs, AI chips, and power grids, there may be no buffer left, no excess inventory, no untapped reserve. The market will have to scramble for whatever's left. And the only way to ration what remains will be through violent price repricing. This isn't just a bull market, it's a powder keg. And while the chart may look calm now, the options market is telling a very different story. Let's go there next. inevitable without some radical radical changes. U you asked about precious metals. When I talk about radical changes, that's the kind of radical change I'm talking about. Ending the uh fiat debtbased currency system and going back toward a legitimate monetary system. Uh and Trump has I know there's a lot of people who don't like him, but Trump has in the past many times uh indicated his support for a goldbacked currency for some sort of honest, reliable, sound money system. uh whether he believes it or not, I can't know. I don't know what's going on in his head, but he has certainly talked about this publicly many many times uh going back for for at least a decade. Uh I know people around him who have indicated that he does support restoring an honest currency. If that were to happen, you know, we could see great things happen with the dollar, although it wouldn't be the same dollar that we're dealing with today. It wouldn't be a garbage fiat currency printed by a cartel of mega banks masquerading as a federal agency. So, um, yeah, I think we're in a period of very, very serious uncertainty, Dunan, where things could go, uh, one of several ways. Uh, very few of those ways being good, by the way, uh, in terms of stability and peace and and prosperity. Uh, and so for me personally, uh, I am still heavily invested in silver. I'm still heavily invested in gold. Uh, and, uh, uh, on the even more bearish side, I'm heavily invested in rural land. uh and even, you know, prepping supplies, which sounds kind of goofy, but long-term storeable food, I think it might be a good investment right now. And I'm only half kidding. So, uh I I think we could see all of this spiral out of control very quickly. I certainly hope it doesn't come to that. I I hope Trump has some sort of super master plan and that uh you know, things don't spiral out of control. But the way things are going, I think there's a very real risk of that. Uh and I think really the globalists want to cause an economic collapse in the United States. They want to cause uh not just civil unrest, but maybe even a civil war. Uh and they want to be able to blame that on Trump for all of human history to be able to say, "See what happens when you disagree with globalism. See what happens when you promote a free market and America first and national sovereignty and and you know, free market and all that kind of stuff. You get chaos, you get collapse." So, I think Trump could be walking into a trap. He's probably a smart man. I suspect he has some understanding of the different forces around him, but um you know I think it's a a very volatile period and gold and silver tend to do well during volatile periods. Something strange is happening in the silver options market and it's sending a message the mainstream hasn't caught on to yet. On the surface, silver's price action looks calm. Steady stairstep gains, no blowoff tops, no parabolic spikes. But underneath that calm is a system bracing for rupture. Implied volatility in silver options is rising fast. Meanwhile, realized volatility is falling. That's a rare divergence. In plain terms, it means traders aren't betting on a smooth continuation. They're preparing for a violent repricing, a gap, a break in the system. Futures are starting to flirt with backwardation where near-term contracts trade higher than long-term ones. That only happens when physical demand becomes more urgent than speculative interest and comx inventories still comfortable on paper, but that's exactly what they said before the 2020 liquidity freeze. At the same time, margin requirements have climbed, squeezing out smaller traders and leaving the market increasingly brittle. There's no euphoria, no speculative mania, just silence, tension, and the slow tightening of every major indicator. This is the moment before the spring snaps. And the thing that makes it all click, 2026, rate cuts, dollar dilution, global shortages, controlled demolition, and a public that still thinks silver is boring. They won't think that for long because once the floodgates open, once silver breaks free from decades of suppression, the target isn't $50 or even $100. It's much, much higher. Let's bring it home. And and the founders were absolutely clear about this, right? They granted Congress the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. They did not grant Congress the power to establish a central bank that could print money out of thin air and force us to use it by loaning it to the US government and then forcing us to pay taxes in it. Uh in other words, the system we have today. Uh and actually if you if you go into article 1 section 10, uh you'll read that uh that states may not make anything other than gold and silver a tender in payment of debts. So, I've been very encouraged to see a lot of states moving in this direction. Florida, Texas, Missouri, uh Utah, Arkansas, multiple states now have moved in the direction of restoring gold currency at least as an alternative to the failing dollar. Um I have heard um from well-informed people that uh there are people within the Trump administration that want to do something similar to this on a national level. Uh I hope that is true. But um you know the the founders were crystal clear right they did not want this kind of arbitrary power in the hands of anyone not the government not a private cartel of bankers that's why they didn't delegate that power to the congress in the first place uh and so I think from statute from the constitution it's very clear we need to go back to an honest money system and frankly again all these other problems that we're talking about the the obliteration of our freedoms the move toward a global system all of that traces back to the fake currency system the dishonest currency system we have. Uh if we could stop the money fraud, we could stop so many of the other evils that we're seeing right now. The effort to to take away our property, the the great taking, of course, which you and I have talked about in the past. All of that could be stopped in its tracks if we could restore honest money. But that's a big if. Uh it's going to be a heavy lift. And I think there's a lot of people who would sooner blow this country up than allow the most powerful country in the world with the most powerful military in the world. If you think Silver's bull run is over, think again. Because the real move hasn't even started. Everything we've covered points to one simple conclusion. The global economy is being pushed off a cliff and silver is the one asset built to rise from the wreckage. The dollar is being dismantled, supply chains are being weaponized, and the silver market is being drained while retail investors stare the other way. This isn't a conspiracy theory. It's unfolding in plain sight. The 2025 rally was just a pressure valve. 2026 is the eruption, and if the structural forces in play are allowed to accelerate unchecked, a $600 silver price isn't just possible. It may be necessary to balance the market. Alex Newman's warning isn't hyperbole. It's a wake-up call. The financial system we've known is being reshaped by design, and for small investors, the window to act is rapidly closing. Those who see it now, those who understand the mechanics behind this coming storm, won't just survive it. they could come out of it in a position of generational strength.
