How Is the Spot Price for Gold Determined?

How Is the Spot Price for Gold Determined?

By Schiff Gold

Posted on 06/29/2023

When you buy physical gold, the price you pay will start with the “spot price.”

As defined by Investopedia, the “spot price” is “the current price in the marketplace at which a given asset—such as a security, commodity, or currency—can be bought or sold for immediate delivery.”

So, how is the spot price for gold determined?

In simplest terms, the market determines the spot price based on supply and demand, along with many other factors.

The spot price is not set by any single individual or institution. It’s determined through market activity and the interaction of various market participants, including banks, financial institutions, dealers, and investors.

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) plays a significant role in setting a benchmark for the spot price of gold. The LMBA holds a Gold Price Auction twice a day, independently administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA). The IBA provides the auction platform on which the LBMA Gold Price is calculated. The auction involves 15 authorized participants.

  • Bank of China
  • Citibank, N.A. London Branch
  • Coins ‘N Things Inc.
  • DRW Investments, LLC
  • Goldman Sachs
  • HSBC Bank USA NA
  • Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)
  • Jane Street Global Trading, LLC
  • JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. London Branch
  • Koch Supply and Trading LP
  • Marex
  • Morgan Stanley
  • Standard Chartered Bank
  • StoneX Financial Ltd
  • Toronto-Dominion Bank

These participants submit buy and sell orders based on client interest and their own trading positions. The auction process continues until it reaches a balance between buy and sell orders, setting the price for that auction.

While the LMBA Gold Price is a significant factor in the spot price of gold, it is not the only factor. Other exchanges and marketplaces including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), over-the-counter (OTC) markets, and other trading platforms influence the gold price through their trading activities. Futures contracts traded on the COMEX also impact the spot price.

Given the number of participants in the gold market and its global scope, the spot price moves continuously 24 hours a day.

More broadly speaking, here are five key factors that can impact the spot price of gold.

  1. Global supply and demand – Demand dynamics include jewelry manufacturing, investing, central bank gold purchases, and industrial offtake. On the supply side, mine production, scrap sales, and central bank gold lending or selling affect the available gold supply.
  2. Commodity Exchanges – These include the LMBA, the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and many others. These exchanges facilitate the trading of gold futures contracts, options, and other derivatives.
  3. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Markets – OTC markets facilitate direct transactions between buyers and sellers outside of formal exchanges. Participants in these markets include banks, bullion dealers, and institutional investors who negotiate and agree upon prices based on factors like demand, supply, and other market conditions.
  4. Economic Factors – This includes everything from economic data reports, to central bank monetary policy, to currency exchange rates. Geopolitical events can also significantly influence the spot price of gold.
  5. Individual Market Participants – Banks, financial institutions, hedge funds, central banks, and individual investors can impact the spot price through buying and selling activities.

It’s important to remember that the gold market is global and very large in trade volume. In 2021, gold ranked as the world’s seventh most-traded product, with a total trade of $434 billion. Given the size and scope of the market, no single entity can control the price completely.

If We Have a Strong Economy, Why Are Americans Struggling?

If We Have a Strong Economy, Why Are Americans Struggling?

By Schiff Gold

Posted on January 17, 2025


The 10-year treasury yield rocketed up to near 5%, and analysts say it’s because the economy is strong despite higher inflation. But if the economy is so strong, why are Americans so indebted, cash-poor, and desperate?

10-Year Treasury Yields


The recent spike in 10-year yields has been explained away by many as the result of a strong economy, but they fail to mention that high inflation makes the 10-year yield harder to contain. High 10-year yields support higher rates for things like car loans and mortgages, and with the world still under the inflationary spell of COVID-era QE and free money “stimulus,” the only answer may be—you guessed it—more free money QE to “stimulate” an economy that’s already stuck in an infinite loop of inflation. As Peter Schiff said recently:

“I think that they’ve already lost control of the long end of the bond market…the Fed is going to be pressured to try to lower long-term rates, and the only way it would be able to do that is by buying the long term bonds, and the only way to get the money to do that is to print it.”

But not even the Fed has a clue for how it would deal with a stagnation scenario.

“It was almost humorous and even it got a laugh out of Powell. A reporter asked him at the last press conference, ‘What’s your plan for stagflation?’ And he laughed and says, ‘Our plan for stagnation is that we’re not going to have it.’”

But we already do. For now. markets are also still trying to figure out how to react to Trump’s win, and uncertainty breeds volatility. So, high inflation coupled with uncertainty and “strong” economic data are the three factors being attributed to the spike in yields. The inflation part is partially right; the only problem is that it doesn’t go far enough, because inflation is actually much worse than what’s being reported. The other problem is that the “strong jobs data” being partially blamed for the rise in yields is never really as strong as what gets reported, as the jobs reports and other economic data are unreliable and designed to paint as rosy a picture as possible.

As Treasury yields keep rising, mortgage rates keep going up, and basic needs keep getting more expensive, 2025 is already shaping up to be a marvel of stagflationary chaos. As predicted, the bond market and broader economy are getting spooky, and Central Banks will keep buying gold to protect themselves from the same problems that government and central bank interventions create.

The question is, how many Americans will protect themselves? The answer is very few, as the average American has hardly any money saved and is living paycheck-to-paycheck while becoming increasingly over-indebted. After all, when economies are extremely weak or extremely strong, they will always be what decides elections even if the root causes go far deeper than any one president, which they always do.

But when Americans are struggling, seeing drastic price increases, and watching with enraged awe as their government continues donating taxpayer money to proxy wars in Ukraine and Israel as American cities flood, burn, and lose their critical infrastructure, they’re going to vote for the other candidate. So, while Trump signed the inflationary COVID stimulus checks, he was able to convince voters even after losing in 2020 that he should be given another chance after the economic deterioration of the last four years..

Whether or not Trumponomics itself ends up being inflationary, central bank monetary policy will always revert back to the only real tool in its toolbox, which is printing money. Whether or not DOGE, tariffs, and other promises materialize, the result of statist intervention to bring down prices is almost always, ironically enough, higher prices. Even if the intervention causes costs to go down in one place, they generally go up somewhere else.

That’s because there are no free lunches in economics, no matter what central bankers may say.

The Never-Ending War On Cash

The Never-Ending War On Cash

By Schiff Gold

Posted on January 23, 2024

-


In the last few decades, there has been a global shift towards a “cashless world,” a trend that continues to shape financial autonomy. Physical currency is becoming increasingly rare as the majority of the world’s money supply exists in electronic form. Governments and financial institutions are actively promoting a cashless society, raising concerns about individual financial freedom.

The Federal Reserve’s last annual update on physical currency in circulation reported about 2.2 trillion dollars in physical cash supply. This includes physical coins (dimes, quarters, dollars) and green Federal Reserve notes. Nevertheless, there has been a rapid shift towards electronic funds. In the current era, the total global money supply is predominantly composed of electronic funds, with physical currency representing a diminishing percentage.

The concept of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) in the last year has gained substantial prominence globally. IMF Director Kistalina Georgieva noted in her speech last year that CBDCs have already been introduced in The Bahamas, Jamaica, and Nigeria, with over 100 additional countries (including the United States) currently in the exploratory phase.

The push towards a cashless society is often justified on grounds of enhanced security, with claims that electronic transactions deter terrorism, money laundering, and counterfeiting.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the primary objective is an attempt to ‘bar the doors’ and keep assets within the US Financial System. Reduced reliance on physical cash facilitates increased monitoring and taxation of financial transactions, aligning with the government’s and central planners’ interests.

Interestingly, even with the diminishing purchasing power of the US dollar, the face value of Federal Reserve notes has also been decreasing. Today, the highest denomination note produced by the Federal Reserve is the $100 note. The elimination of higher denominations, such as $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 notes, began in 1969. Discussions continue, with some advocating for the complete discontinuation of cash.

Governments benefit from a cashless system as it allows for more efficient taxation and central planning, while banks see advantages in increased fees and regulatory power.

A cashless society results in larger bank deposits, contributing to an expansion of the money supply through fractional reserve banking.

The move towards a cashless society raises concerns about individual control over personal wealth.

Governments and large banks are likely to exert increasing pressure to discourage holding liquid wealth outside the banking system.

Acquiring physical cash and precious metals may become more challenging, potentially reaching a point where coins and Federal Reserve notes are no longer considered legal tender.

Contrary to paper currency, the intrinsic value of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, has hardly been impacted by these government decisions. We talk more about this in our Confiscation Con white paper, here.

The use of gold and silver as money is determined ultimately by the free market and the free market alone.

As we continue to move towards a cashless era, it’s wise to contemplate shifting a larger portion of your electronic dollars into physical assets like gold and silver, particularly in anticipation of the impending Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Gold and silver are the best historically reliable assets for safeguarding wealth, offering a prudent strategy to avoid becoming a casualty in the ongoing ‘war on cash.’

Financial Expert Peter Schiff Warns Dollar Bubble Just Burst – “This Is The Collapse I’ve Warned About For Years”

Financial Expert Peter Schiff Warns Dollar Bubble Just Burst

“This Is The Collapse I’ve Warned About For Years”

By Infowars

Posted on April 18, 2025

In a recent Kitco News interview with Jeremy Szafron, financial commentator and radio host Peter Schiff claimed the U.S. economy collapse he’s been warning about for years is finally here.

The cautionary message comes as Infowars and others have predicted the globalist-led Deep State would do everything possible to crash the American economy in order to place the blame on President Donald Trump amid his fight to revitalize the U.S. financial system.




Schiff said the U.S. pricked its own bubble, eluding to the incoming economic fall being an inside job.

He also criticized the private Federal Reserve for refusing to acknowledge rising inflation, saying, “Yeah, well, the year ahead inflation expectations now are 6.7%. I mean, the Fed keeps saying that long-term expectations remain anchored at 2%. What are they talking about? Nothing is anchored at 2%. We’ve been adrift for a long time and now we’re at 6.7%. And you know what? It’s going to be a lot higher than that. The Fed is completely wrong.”

The fact that gold is hitting new highs every day is another indicator that the crash is accelerating, with Schiff explaining, “Gold’s up over $250 in the last three days. So we’re accelerating. Two days, the last couple of days, we were $100 a day, and maybe we’ll be up again. Maybe we’ll be up another 100 by the time they close today’s trading. But what’s happening, and what I’ve been telling people was happening all last year as the price of gold went from 2000 to 3000 and nobody cared and nobody was buying it because everybody was sidetracked by Bitcoin and all the talk about digital gold.

The economic expert continued, “Well, I think that there is going to be a massive loss of confidence because it’s been a confidence game the entire time. But look, this is going to be a financial crisis much worse than 2008, but it’s not going to be global. It is a U.S. crisis. It’s not a global crisis. It’s actually liberation for the rest of the world because they’re going to be liberated from the burden of supporting the U.S. economy. That means more for them.”

Less than two weeks ago, Alex Jones detailed how intentionally crashing the stock market is one way the Deep State could try to thwart Trump’s successful tariff agenda. ...

Trump tries another 911 with tariffs but it won’t work

Trump tries another 911 with tariffs but it won’t work

By Benjamin Fulford

April 7, 2025, UPDATED




US President Donald Trump pulled off another 911-type surprise by imposing massive tariffs on most US trading partners. The reason it is a 911-type event is because both the tariffs and 911 were reactions to Chinese demands that the US return gold they borrowed or else face bankruptcy. It turns out Trump’s handler in this case is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. You can see him behind Trump in this photo (above).

Back on September 11, 2001, Lutnick just happened not to show up for work when most of the employees of his company Cantor Fitzgerald were killed. Cantor Fitzgerald is one of the few financial institutions allowed to get money directly from the Federal Reserve Board’s magical money fountain. On September 12, 2001, the government was supposed to give back Chinese royal gold lent to the Federal Reserve Board in 1938. Instead, the US government staged 911 and sent what was left of the Chinese gold to the Nazis in Paraguay. The US then invaded Iraq to steal oil to pay off the Chinese and avoid a default.

This time, Trump is hoping to use tariffs to get money to pay the Chinese and end the chronic trade deficit that makes the US financially dependent on China. Some sort of attempt to deal with the deficit is long overdue but, the tariff approach is way too little and way too late. Basic math shows it will fail.

The United States has run a trade deficit with the rest of the world for 49 years or since 1976. As a result they have accumulated $37 trillion of debt. The Trump administration expects the tariffs will bring in $600 billion a year meaning it would take 61 years to pay off all the debt with this tariff income. Furthermore, this will not help with the $250 trillion in unfunded US liabilities.

The Trump regime has also said tariffs will make income tax unnecessary. As a result, many Americans have decided to stop paying income taxes, meaning $500 billion less is expected when taxes come due on April 15th, wiping out most tariff gains.

We understand Trump wants to use the tariffs to rebuild US manufacturing capacity. However, as Peter Schiff points out:

If the U.S. is going to start building factories and developing the necessary infrastructure and supply chains, what are we going to stop doing to pay for it? One thing is shopping. Americans are going to have to sharply reduce spending and increase savings.

But this means a severe recession with exploding budget deficits as spending rises and tax revenue plunges. Tariffs won’t help much as if consumers buy less, imports fall sharply, undercutting tax revenue. That means deficits will crowd out all the savings necessary to finance the re-industrialization of America.

Also, as foreign investors will no longer be recycling their large trade surpluses into our treasury market, who will buy the $26 trillion in existing Treasuries that will mature over the next four years? If Americans have to buy all that debt, where will the money come from to build factories?

The only way to enable the necessary capital investment will be for the government to slash spending during the recession, including on entitlements and defense, and likely default on the national debt. 
The tariffs will deprive the average US household of about $7300 of purchasing power per year.
The head of MI6 says “Mr. Trump is causing economic chaos across the world at the moment and destabilizing the lay of the land. He needs to be contained firmly as do his handlers…All this chaos is purely a diversionary tactic to delay the inevitable.”

There is an easier answer Mr. Trump. There is a generous offer of virtually unlimited funding from the Dragon family sitting on his desk. The Dragon family controls most of the real money in the world because the Chinese have had huge trade surpluses (the mirror of US deficits) for decades. Also, while Americans consume 68% of their incomes and save only 4% the Chinese consume 39% and save 40%. The Chinese have used their savings to create more than twice the manufacturing capacity of the US. They have also done many clever things like using drones and robots to turn deserts green.
Video: 
Also, only 14.8% of China’s total exports went to the United States in 2023 so the tariffs will not do too much damage to their economy.

However, the Chinese admit they have run into a brick wall and have more savings than they can profitably invest. Economic troubles may be one reason why 176,000 Chinese fled the country as political refugees in 2024; the greatest number since 1951, according to the UN.

This all means the Chinese would like nothing more than to spend their savings on things like building giant factories and bullet train networks in the US. Many of them would also like to live in the US.

The Chinese government officially responded to Trump’s tariffs with this statement:

“Pressuring and threatening is not the correct way to engage with China. China-US economic and trade relations should be based on mutual benefit and win-win cooperation…[these] are the aspirations of all people, while economic coercion that pits nations against each other is bound to backfire.”
The Chinese ended their statement by saying “The world needs justice, not hegemony!”

Fear of justice and a wish to retain hegemony is maybe why Trump has refused to acknowledge the offer of unlimited funding.

However, justice is coming. Last week we heard independently from US space force, MI6 and Russian FSB sources that the Trump government would not survive beyond 2025.

These photographs explain part of the reason why they say this now: 






We have been repeatedly asked by agency types not to publish these photos. As the head of MI6 comments “This is serious stuff. The compromise control of the US President will go down like a lead balloon, we countered the DVD election fraud which installed his second term and now we find out he should have been dropped and someone else put in.”

Here is what a Mossad agent who until recently was a fervent Trump supporter sent us:

Who remembers when Trump’s mom said this?

“Yes, he’s an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never gets into politics. He’d be a disaster.’  Mary Anne Trump.



He added this comment: 

Should we believe Trump?? HELL NO, he’s obviously either drugged or a Zionist-controlled double. He was too smart before to suddenly become this ill-advised. And Netanyahu is meeting him on Monday Again. Hey Mr. President, why not focus entirely on problems at home, rather than serving Israel by blowing up countries that make no difference to us anyway?

The US Space Forces sources insist the Trump who went to Epstein Island is a fake and that there is a real white hat Trump at the Cheyenne Mt. space base. We certainly want to believe this. However, as things stand, the Epstein files have not been released and we are seeing a Trump seemingly in power encouraging mass murder in Gaza and threatening war against Iran. We will talk about that further below.

First, though something much more urgent has been taking place behind the scenes. The Russian FSB sent thoroughly documented proof to the Five Eyes intelligence network that the Pentagon built an extensive network of bio-warfare laboratories in Ukraine and tried to murder a large percentage of the world’s population with bioweapons.

“The details on the Pentagon activity is deeply dangerous and could provoke war,” MI6 warns.

The Russians also sent detailed evidence about the systematic kidnapping and murder of children by the Ukrainian authorities.

Here is some of what the FSB sent to five eyes:

Deputy Chair of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Fatherhood, Motherhood and Childhood Elena Vtorigina (United Russia faction) reported that so-called white angels are operating on the Ukrainian side, roaming like grey wolves in the frontline zone and taking children away from their parents, threatening them with physical violence.

The parliamentary commission spent a year collecting data from all possible sources, carefully checking the information received and ultimately presented an impressive base of evidence of the guilt of Ukrainian militants, Since 2022, the Kyiv regime has forcibly removed about 65 thousand children from the territory of Donbas and Novorossiya.         

“We don’t know where the children are being taken, according to many publications, they are being harvested for organs, and sexual violence is being committed against these children. This is a tragedy for each family and for the country. Only by destroying the Nazis and defeating the Kyiv regime can we solve this problem and protect our children,” the deputy noted. 

Ukraine is number one in black transplantology. The Ukrainian Parliament purposefully created conditions for the flourishing of black transplantology in Ukraine. 2021 – they allowed the removal of organs without the consent of the donor and his relatives, to perform such operations in private clinics with foreign participation, then simplified the process of obtaining licenses for them. In 2022, transplant operations were exempted from VAT.

There were laboratories, these were national battalions, and they were engaged in it, and accordingly received a percentage of the transaction. They killed children, put the organs in containers, and then sold the containers. The containers were exported under the grain export code. We liquidated 8 laboratories, there were corpses there, and there were children. Dissected… The children were cut up. And we have already dealt with this and recorded it. Germany was one of the benefactors of the containers for transportation, there were a lot of US clinics there.

The Kyiv regime has created an entire kidnapping industry. Children are sold on the darknet or on the Ukrainian-Polish border. The country’s Cabinet of Ministers created the conditions for kidnapping by issuing a decree on the forced evacuation of children.

Under the auspices of the Ukrainian police, there are special kidnapping squads — “White Angel” and “Phoenix” — that take children even against the will of their parents. The Elena Zelenskaya Foundation, which is registered in the United States, and the “Save Ukraine” Foundation are involved in this scheme, and logistics are provided by Western PMCs.

This is important: Ukrainian “grain deal” might be a similar code to “pizza”

Here is a link to a detailed article about kidnappings.

The Russian FSB sources say a peace agreement in Ukraine is not possible now because the Trump administration is unwilling to charge Zelensky and his government with war crimes.

Remember, over 500,000 kids also vanished in North America and only low-level operatives have been brought to justice.



In an attempt to assuage popular opinion, European authorities shut down one of the largest online child abuse networks in the world last month in an operation that is set to be the catalyst for the potential arrests of over 1 million pedophiles worldwide. Europol officials confirmed that Operation Stream was successfully able to the take child pornography platform Kidflix offline, which has thus far led to the arrest of 79 suspects involved in the distribution of child sex abuse material. 

Since its creation in 2021, the website operating out of Germany enabled pedophiles across the globe to not only stream, share, and download child pornography but to profit from its distribution by enabling payments made via on-site tokens purchased with cryptocurrency. 1.8 million users worldwide visited the site over the course of Operation Stream between April 2022 and March 2025, foreshadowing many more arrests to follow.

In addition to the 79 suspects arrested to date, law enforcement agencies have identified another 1,393 as they broaden the scope of their investigations.

The comments below this article show what the public thinks about this stunt:

79 whole mother fuxkers, huh? We got that many in Congress…ten times that working in Hollywood.”

“[They] could shut all of this down in a heartbeat if they wanted to, but they never do.  Does anyone want to guess why?  Because nobody ever arrests themselves.”

“Minnows are caught, but the whales escape the net…celebrities, nobility, billionaires, royals, police, migrants, MPs and judges excepted.”

We know who is at the top of this Satanic pyramid. In the link below Baron and Baroness de Rothschild publicly proclaim their wish to kill 94% of humanity in their 2020 invitation to the Illuminati ball by saying:

“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”

The Baron de Rothschild appears in public as Brigitte Macron. Here you can see him with and without his wig.



Now a new scandal is rocking Emmanuel Macron. Activist Reolf Fleming, in an interview, revealed that his cousin Dmitry, who died of AIDS, had a relationship with Macron in 2018 during a visit to Saint-Martin.

French intelligence sources say Macron died of AIDS and a body double is now playing his role. They add Macron had an incestuous homosexual relationship with his Uncle Jean Michel de Rothschild aka Brigitte Macron.

Here are some creepy photos from their party “Illuminati ball.”





This is apparently one of the dishes served there.




Payback for all of this is coming at them like a freight train:

Idaho is preparing to carry out executions of pedophiles by firing squad after Governor Brad Little signed a new law allowing courts to impose the death penalty on those convicted of lewd conduct with children under the age of 12.

British Labour MP Dan Norris was arrested on rape and child sex offenses.

Previously a teacher and child protection officer, Norris had also opposed probes into Pakistani rape gangs.

“One by one they are exposed and arrested,” a Pentagon source comments saying “PM Keir Starmer’s time is running out.”

Starmer, by the way, is scheduled to make an address later today declaring that the era of globalization is over.

Something is definitely happening:

“International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has been convicted over her role in a controversial €400m (£355m) payment to a businessman.”

Since she is now head of the European Central Bank, this is clearly a power grab for the EU money printing machine.

Also “King Charles III, battling an aggressive form of cancer, has been urged by senior royal advisors to ABDICATE IMMEDIATELY. Not asked. Not suggested. Ordered.”

We are hearing the fake pope and the fake King Charles are being taken down along with Lagarde in order to seize control of the Western financial system. We are hoping, but cannot confirm, this is preparation for a deal with the dragon family and a jubilee.

Also, Headlines like “Klaus Schwab resigns” and “Malaysia ends search for flight 370” show that lies are being removed from the official narrative. “We are going to hear more as the demise of Israel is near,” comments an Iranian official.

The KM for their part are in the middle of a desperate last-minute push to start World War III:

Germany just sent troops to Lithuania in the first permanent foreign deployment since WW2.

The EU is about to plunder all of the savings accounts in the EU to send to Ursula’s cronies in arms manufacturing. This is a WARNING.

“Tons of military hardware is going through Romania to Ukraine. It looks like the EU really wants to fight to the last…”

“Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and the country’s armed forces estimate that Russia views the West as a systemic enemy, is building up its military power and preparing for a large-scale confrontation with NATO.”

Russia’s Tass news agency for its’ part reports:

Belgrade and Budapest are working towards establishing a comprehensive military alliance, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated following the signing of a document on Serbian-Hungarian strategic defense cooperation.

Think about that for a minute. NATO member Hungary is making a military alliance with Russian ally Serbia. What this means is the Austro-Hungarian Empire is back and is making an alliance with Russia against Western Europe.

Also, in a sign it is having second thoughts about joining the NATO campaign against Russia, Finland is preparing to reopen its border with Russia. 

The US is definitely not going to fight Russia to protect the EU. French Journalist Thierry Meyssan writes:

For the past month, G7 meetings have been held without the United States…Political coordination of the “West” was ensured by the G7, a series of meetings at all levels, which developed a common narrative. However, during the virtual meeting of heads of state and government on February 24, 2025, US President Donald Trump refused to sign the final communiqué and threatened his partners with leaving the G7 if they published it without his consent.

Manfred Weber, leader of the European People’s Party (EPP) pointed out that “the Trump administration is bringing fundamental things into question for no reason at all….I am afraid that the old America won’t be coming back. We now live in a new world order.”

Russian power broker Dmitry Medvedev notes “Russia barely trades with the US or the EU anyway, so there’s no need to fuss over it — We’ll take the advice of Lao Tzu and sit by the river, waiting for the body of the enemy to float by: The decaying corpse of the EU economy.”

The Nazis in the EU are fighting back tooth and nail. Their prosecutions of every Populist Leader prove Democracy is an illusion.




In the latest example, French courts disqualified the popular leader Marine Le Pen from running for office. Her response was:

We do not want to be pushed around. And we will not allow this to happen, not so much to protect ourselves, but to protect the French people, who have the right to vote for whoever they want, and to protect the country, because today it is on the brink of an abyss.’

In yet another example of misuse of money printing machines:

In addition to beating the war drums in Europe, the KM are still desperately trying to create a greater Israel, This map of what the Zionists have planned is actually a map of the Satan-worshipping, ancient and horrifically cruel nation of Assyria, not the historical Judea. This is why they are ramping up their mass murder with support from a fake Trump.

As the Mossad source says:

“People in Gaza need to know it is the beginning of the end of the Zionist State. The Zionist State will not survive. To stay in the same place, they have to kill and kill and kill. That’s the only thing they know how to do.”

Netanyahu is especially desperate to start an all-out war because the wheels of justice are grinding toward him:

Jonathan Urich, Netanyahu’s senior media advisor, and Eli Feldstein, his military spokesperson, were arrested as part of an investigation into ties between the Israeli prime minister’s office and Qatari officials.

The two officials were arrested on suspicion of contact with a foreign agent, money laundering, accepting bribes, fraud, and breach of trust.

Netanyahu, who was in court on Monday testifying in his own corruption and fraud cases, was forced to leave the courtroom to testify in the affair involving his confidants.

In a sign of Netanyahu’s war preparations, the arrival of new reinforcements has put the total number of U.S. forces in the Middle East to 300,000 personnel, including both combat and administrative units.

This build-up led the Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Fu Cong to state: “China urges Israel to withdraw from Syria and Lebanon without delay. The political transition in Syria is at a critical stage.”

Pentagon sources say “The real CIC Trump does not want war with Iran. However, Trump is willing to flex his muscle and posture, to create urgency and force Iran to bend the knee.”

Iranian sources are not too worried. They inform us:

“The UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain have secretly informed Tehran that they will not allow the US to use their air bases to attack Iran.”

The Iranian sources also told us “Elon Musk bought – through a third party – the Iranian Automobile manufacturer, Iran Khodro, and Iran has massive Lithium reserves. Elon Musk got what he wanted and now he is leaving the administration. Mission accomplished.”

Since Musk represents the National Reconnaissance Office it means a significant portion of the US military is de facto allied with Iran.

The Turkish, who have the largest army in the Middle East, point out that Netanyahu and members of his government face war crimes charges while Israel faces Genocide accusations. This is what the Chinese and others refer to as justice. It is coming.

In a sign of elite panic about imminent justice, Stephen Colbert kicked off his Late Show monologue on Thursday by staring into the camera and pleading with “the cabal of financial and governmental elites who pull all the strings behind the scenes” to intervene as President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs.

Colbert said. “But if they do exist, I just want to say to the cabal of financial and governmental elites who pull all the strings behind the scenes: Maybe put a pause on your 5G chip JFK Jr. adrenochrome chemtrail orgy and jump in here cuz we’re fucking dying.”

Here is some of the news that probably has him worried:

The U.S. African Development Foundation, located near the White House, barred DOGE agents from entering its premises, which it had its own police officers guard. Its employees holed up like madmen so that no one could discover their purpose.

Dr. Peter Marks, director of the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and mastermind of Operation Warp Speed was forced out of his job, having been given the choice to resign or be fired.

“It has been estimated that only 10 to 20 percent of all procedures currently used in medical practice have been shown to be efficacious by controlled trial.” Think about that again80 to 90% of what doctors do is fraud.

The President of Argentina declassified documents showing Hitler did not die at the end of the war, but he went to Argentina and comfortably lived and prospered there. After all, he was a Rothschild from the Khazar tribe, so no harm could come to him.

The KMs entire fabric of lies and evil is unravelling and Colbert probably fears what is waiting for him as the process accelerates. The cabal he is referring to is trying to do something about the situation in the US by deploying rent-a-mobs:

Soros-funded Indivisible is openly admitting they are behind the 1300 paid protests happening today in all 50 states. Democrat billionaires are funding these uprisings and they should held legally accountable for the violence and vandalism.

*The protest in Chicago drew only 7,500 attendees, with “92% having attended five or more Kamala Harris rallies, Antifa/BLM events, or pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests.”

Judging from this official Chinese Xinhua news article It is a good bet that if you follow the money, you will find many of the NGOs bussing in protestors got money from China to stage this event:

In the United States, around 600,000 people joined over 1,400 protests across all 50 states under the theme of “Hands Off,” according to the organizers.

Organized by a coalition of more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions and veterans’ associations, demonstrators gathered at state capitols, federal buildings, congressional offices, Social Security Administration headquarters, city halls and public parks.

The Chinese also hit back against Trump by placing export restrictions on rare earth metals the US military urgently needs.

Pentagon sources say they are negotiating with the Russians, the Ukrainians and the government of Myanmar for alternative supplies. The sources also say another Chinese submarine base was destroyed:

“7.2 magnitude earthquake hits off coast of Papua New Guinea. A tsunami warning was issued. Depth 10 KM.” 

Nonetheless, in a sign the US might ultimately be forced to deal with China;  when US Vice President JD Vance said “We borrow money from Chinese farmers to buy what those Chinese farmers produce,” the Chinese responded as follows:

You fool, you buy high-tech products from China and try to steal centrifuges to purify rare earth metals because you can’t invent them yourself, but you sell soy barges and Canadian timber to China…They live in the space of propaganda posters from the McCarthy era, where all of this communist Asia merges into some meta-organism from Korea to Vietnam, wearing a cap with a red star and digging in the rice beds.”

Speaking about red stars, the MAGA hats popular in the US these days are actually made in China and remind me of the old Mao caps.

To conclude, we all hope Chairman Trump is doing all this showmanship in preparation for a deal with China and the rest of the world. Multiple intelligence agency sources say a lot could be decided between now and June.  Remember Trump, the dragon family and the world are standing by to help. All you have to do is pick up the phone.
