Let us have a look at the data for today

SILVER//OUTLINE

SILVER COMEX OI ROSE BY A GOOD SIZED 318 CONTRACTS TO 138,262 AND CONTINUING ON ITS MARCH TO THE RECORD HIGH OI OF 244,710, SET FEB 25/2020, AND THIS GOOD SIZED GAIN IN COMEX OI WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH OUR GAIN OF $0.44 IN SILVER PRICING AT THE COMEX WITH RESPECT TO TUESDAY’S TRADING.  WE HAD A GOOD SIZED GAIN OF 318 TOTAL CONTRACTS ON OUR TWO EXCHANGES AS THE CME NOTIFIED US OF A ZERO CONTRACT EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL ISSUANCE.. WE HAD LITTLE LIQUIDATION OF T.A.S. CONTRACTS COMEX TRADING TUESDAY AS THEY DESPERATELY AGAIN TRIED TO CONTAIN SILVER’S PRICE RISE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS (WHERE RAIDS ARE CALLED UPON AGAIN AND AGAIN TRYING TO STOP THE RISE IN SILVER’S PRICE TO ABOVE $34.40 AND TO QUELL ADDITIONAL DERIVATIVE LOSSES TO OUR BANKERS’ MASSIVE TOTALS). THEY FAILED ON TUESDAY WITH SILVER’S GAIN IN PRICE AND THE PRICE IS STILL WELL BELOW THE MAGIC NUMBER OF $34.40 SILVER SPOT PRICE. . BUT THIS WAS COUPLED WITH ANOTHER HUGE T.A.S. ISSUANCE OF 613 CONTRACTS ISSUED BY THE CME AND THAT SIGNALS DEEP CODE RED THAT THE CROOKS ARE DESPERATE TO STOP SILVER BREAKING OVER THE 34.40 DOLLAR MARK. THUS OUR RAIDS ON OUR PRECIOUS SILVER METAL WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SILVER BREAKS $34.40. WE HAD A  ZERO CONTRACT EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL ISSUANCE ACCOMPANIED BY OUR HUGE 613 CONTRACT T.A.S ISSUANCE WHICH WILL BE USED IN WEDNESDAY’S TRADING/ AS THEY PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART IN OUR COMEX TRADING TRYING TO CONTAIN ANY SILVER PRICE RISE. IN ESSENCE WE  GAINED A GOOD SIZED 392 CONTRACTS ON OUR TWO EXCHANGES WITH OUR GAIN IN PRICE OF $0.44. 

THE CME NOTIFIED US THAT FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE MONTH OF MAY, WE HAD TWO CONSECUTIVE ISSUANCE OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK CONTRACTS OF 12.93 MILLION OZ. THESE EXCHANGE FOR RISKS MUST NOW BE ADDED TO OUR NORMAL DELIVERY SCHEDULE. THE RECIPIENT OF THIS LARGESS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA. LOGICALLY ONLY A CENTRAL BANK WOULD ACCEPT THIS CRAZY CONTRACT WHEREBY THE CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA TAKES THE RISK OF DELIVERY FROM A BULLION BANK WHO CANNOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL SILVER TO THEM.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CROOKS NEED A HIGHER SILVER/GOLD T.A.S. TO CARRY ON THEIR CROOKED MANIPULATION ON A DAILY BASIS BUT DEMAND IS JUST TOO HIGH FOR THEM. THE HIGHER ISSUANCE OF T.A.S ESPECIALLY SILVER IS NOW USED TO TEMPER OUR SILVER PRICE RISE OR INITIATE A RAID AS WHAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES LAST MONTH AND AGAIN WITH THIS WEEK’S TRADING ON SILVER AND NOW TODAY TRYING TO KEEP THE SILVER PRICE BELOW $34.40 . THE KEY PRICE TO WATCH IS $34.40. IF IT BREAKS THAT PRICE, THEN WE HEAD FOR $50.00 SILVER.

CRAIG HEMKE HAS POINTED OUT THAT THE CROOKS USE THE MID MONTH FOR MANIPULATION AS THEY SELL THEIR BUY SIDE OF THE CALENDAR SPREAD FIRST AND THEN KEEP THE SELL SIDE TO LIQUIDATE AT A LATER DATE.  THUS WE HAVE TWO VEHICLES THE CROOKS USE FOR MANIPULATION AND BOTH ARE SPREADERS:  1) AT MONTH’S END/SPREADERS COMEX AND 2/ TAS SPREADERS, MID MONTH. TOTAL TAS ISSUED ON TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING: A HUGE 613 CONTRACTS. DESPITE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THE CROOKS HAVE VIOLATED POSITION LIMITS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TAS ISSUED HAVE A VALUE  OF ZERO (AS TO POSITION LIMITS FOR OUR CROOKED BANKERS). THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS THAT THE CROOKS DO NOT LIQUIDATE THE TAS TOGETHER BUT SELL THE BUY SIDE FIRST AND THEN LIQUIDATE THE SELL SIDE TWO MONTHS HENCE. IT IS OBVIOUS MANIPULATION TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE BUT IT NATURALLY FELL ON DEAF EARS WITH OUR REGULATORS (OCC) WHEN THEY RECEIVED OUR COMPLAINTS. IT NOW SEEMS THAT THE OCC HAS ORDERED THE BANKS TO REDUCE ITS NEW LEVEL OF 1 TRILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD/SILVER DERIVATIVES

WE HAVE IN THE PAST YEAR SET ANOTHER RECORD LOW AT 114,102 CONTRACTS ///JULY 3.2023//  OUR BANKERS WITH THE HELP OF SPECULATORS AND HIGH FREQUENCY TRADERS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN KNOCKING THE PRICE OF SILVER DOWN (IT ROSE BY  $0.44) BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN KNOCKING OFF ANY NET SILVER LONGS FROM THEIR PERCH

WE HAD A 0 CONTRACT ISSUANCE OF EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICALS) iiii) AN  INITIAL SILVER STANDING FOR COMEX SILVER MEASURING AT 67.830 MILLION OZ TO WHICH WE ADD OUR 19 CONTRACT QUEUE JUMP OF 95,000 OZ AND THEN WE MUST ADD THOSE CRAZY CONTRACT EXCHANGE FOR RISK FOR 12.93 MILLION OZ:

THUS:

INITIAL STANDING FOR MAY: 74.320 MILLION OZ WHICH INCLUDES TODAY’S 95,000 OZ QUEUE JUMP + 12.93 MILLION OZ (EX FOR RISK) EQUALS 87.290 MILLION OZ./

SPREADING OPERATIONS

(/NOW SWITCHING TO GOLD) FOR NEWCOMERS, HERE ARE THE DETAILS

SPREADING LIQUIDATION HAS NOW COMMENCED   AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE  NEW  ACTIVE FRONT MONTH OF APRIL. WE ARE NOW INTO THE SPREADING OPERATION OF  GOLD

HERE IS A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF HOW THE CROOKS FLEECE UNSUSPECTING LONGS IN THE SPREADING ENDEAVOUR ;MODUS OPERANDI OF THE CORRUPT BANKERS AS TO HOW THEY HANDLE THEIR SPREAD OPEN INTERESTS:HERE IS HOW THE CROOKS USED SPREADING AS WE ARE NOW INTO THE  NON ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF NOV HEADING TOWARDS THE  ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF FEB., FOR  GOLD: AND MARCH FOR SILVER

YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT THE COMEX OPEN INTEREST  STARTS TO RISE BUT SO IS THE OPEN INTEREST OF SPREADERS. THE OPEN INTEREST IN WILL CONTINUE TO RISE UNTIL ONE WEEK BEFORE FIRST DAY NOTICE OF AN UPCOMING  ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH (OCT), AND THAT IS WHEN THE CROOKS SELL THEIR SPREAD POSITIONS BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME OF THE DAY.  THEY WILL USE THE SELL SIDE OF THE EQUATION TO CREATE THE CASCADE (ALONG WITH THEIR COLLUSIVE FRIENDS) AND THEN COVER ON THE BUY SIDE OF THE SPREAD SITUATION AT THE END  OF THE DAY. THEY DO THIS TO AVOID POSITION LIMIT DETECTION. THE LIQUIDATION OF THE SPREADING FORMATION CONTINUES FOR EXACTLY ONE WEEK AND ENDS ON FIRST DAY NOTICE.”

WHAT IS ALARMING TO ME, ACCORDING TO OUR LONDON EXPERT ANDREW MAGUIRE IS THAT THESE EFP’S ARE BEING TRANSFERRED TO WHAT ARE CALLED SERIAL FORWARD CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS AND THESE CONTRACTS ARE LESS THAN 14 DAYS.  ANYTHING GREATER THAN 14 DAYS, THESE MUST BE RECORDED AND SENT TO THE COMPTROLLER, GREAT BRITAIN TO MONITOR RISK TO THE BANKING SYSTEM.  IF THIS IS INDEED TRUE, THEN THIS IS A MASSIVE CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD AS WE NOW WITNESS A MONSTROUS TOTAL EFP’S ISSUANCE AS IT HEADS INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.

The crooks also use the spread in the TAS  account  (trade at settlement).  They buy the spot TAS (e.g. June) and sell the future TAS two months out (e.g. August). Then they unload the front month (i.e. unload the buy side first so the price of gold/silver falls. This occurs in the middle  of the  front delivery month cycle. They unload the sell side of the equation, two months down the road.  The crooks violate position limits as the OCC refuse to hear our complaints.

First, here is an outline of what will be discussed tonight:

1.TODAY WE HAD THE OPEN INTEREST AT THE COMEX IN SILVER ROSE BY A GOOD SIZED 318 CONTRACTS OI  TO 138,262 AND CLOSER TO THE COMEX HIGH RECORD //244,710( SET FEB 25/2020).  THE LAST RECORDS WERE SET  IN AUG.2018 AT 244,196 WITH A SILVER PRICE OF $14.78/(AUGUST 22/2018)..THE PREVIOUS RECORD TO THAT WAS SET ON APRIL 9/2018 AT 243,411 OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS WITH THE SILVER PRICE AT THAT DAY: $16.53). AND PREVIOUS TO THAT, THE RECORD  WAS ESTABLISHED AT: 234,787 CONTRACTS, SET ON APRIL 21.2017 OVER  7 YEARS AGO.  HOWEVER WE HAVE NOW SET A NEW RECORD LOW OF 114,102 CONTRACTS JULY 3.2023

GOLD

 LET US BEGIN:

THE TOTAL COMEX GOLD OPEN INTEREST ROSE BY A TINY SIZED 282 CONTRACTS TO 440,842 DESPITE OUR STRONG GAIN IN PRICE OF $19.95 WITH RESPECT TO TUESDAY’S // TRADING. WE LOST ZERO NUMBER OF NET LONGS WITH THAT STRONG PRICE GAIN FOR GOLD. AND AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW, OUR GAIN IN PRICE ALSO HAD A STRONG NUMBER OF EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL ISSUED (3375 ).

THE CME ANNOUNCED TUESDAY NIGHT,  A ZERO EXCHANGE FOR RISK CONTRACT ISSUANCE FOR NIL OZ OR 0 TONNES. TOTAL ISSUANCE FOR MAY REMAINS AT 1.55 TONNES OF GOLD.

IN THE MONTH OF APRIL WE HAD RECORDED A NEW RECORD 7 ISSUANCES OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK AS THE BANK OF ENGLAND IS GETTING VERY ANTSY ABOUT GETTING ITS GOLD BACK. THUS OUR TOTAL EXCHANGE FOR RISK FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL STOOD AT 8.3571 TONNES OF GOLD WHICH WERE ADDED TO OUR NORMAL APRIL GOLD DELVERIES.

HISTORY: LAST THREE PRIOR MONTH’S EXCHANGE FOR RISK

IN MARCH:

THE TOTAL NO. OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK ISSUANCE FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH (3 NOTICES) EQUALED: 7.6179 TONNES OF GOLD WHICH WAS ADDED TO OUR MARCH DELIVERY TOTALS.

IN FEBRUARY:

WE HAD A HUGE FIVE EXCHANGE FOR RISKS ISSUANCES FOR GOLD, TOTALLING 18.4527 TONNES!.

THE RECIPIENT OF ALL OF THESE EXCHANGE FOR RISK CONTRACTS IS THE BANK OF ENGLAND WHO DESPERATELY WANT THEIR LEASED GOLD BACK. THUS WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES (CENTRAL BANKS) DEMANDING THEIR GOLD BACK:

1. THE BANK OF ENGLAND
2. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK (NEED TO RETRIEVE THEIR LEASED GOLD FROM THE BIS)

THE COUNTERPARTY TO THE BANK OF ENGLAND’S EXCHANGE FOR RISK ARE BULLION BANKS THAT CANNOT VERIFY THAT THEIR GOLD IS UNENCUMBERED AND THUS THE BUYER, THE CENTRAL BANK OF ENGLAND, ASSUMES THE RISK OF THAT DELIVERY. THIS IS THE 5TH CONSECUTIVE MONTH FOR ISSUANCE OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK !!.(DEC THROUGH APRIL)

IN APRIL:

WE CONCLUDED APRIL WITH 7 ISSUANCE OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK FOR A TOTAL TONNAGE OF 8.3571 TONNES.

MAY: 1 ISSUED SO FAR FOR 500 CONTRACTS OR 50,000 OZ OR 1.55 TONNES. THIS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR NORMAL DELIVERY TO GIVE US TOTAL STANDING FOR MAY!

DETAILS ON MAY COMEX MONTH//INITIAL

IN TOTAL WE HAD A FAIR SIZED GAIN ON OUR TWO EXCHANGES OF 3657 CONTRACTS WITH OUR GAIN IN PRICE. HOWEVER, OUR FRIENDLY PHYSICAL LONDON BOYS HAD ANOTHER FIELD DAY AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT AS THEY WERE READY FOR THE FRBNY.S CONTINUED ORCHESTRATED ATTEMPTED AND FAILED RAID VERY EARLY IN THE COMEX SESSION AS THEY TRIED TO ABSORB EVERYTHING IN SIGHT FROM THE DAILY ATTACKS WITH THE CONTINUAL LIQUIDATION OF T.A.S. CONTRACTS. LONDONERS EXERCISED THEIR BOUGHT CONTRACTS FOR PHYSICAL GOLD VIA THE EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL ROUTE AND THANKED THE FRBNY FOR THE THOUGHTFULNESS. LONDON ANNOUNCED LATE (JAN 30) THAT THEY WERE OUT OF GOLD. WRONGLY IT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THEIR SHIPPING PHYSICAL GOLD TO COMEX FOR STORAGE DUE TO TRUMP’S INITIATION OF TARIFFS. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THIS GOLD LEFT LONDON TO CENTRAL BANKS, AND COMEX BANKS HAVE BEEN PAPERING THEIR LOSSES (DERIVATIVE) WITH KILOBAR ENTRIES. DELIVERY OF GOLD CONTRACTS ARE NOW TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS. NO DEFAULT HAS BEEN INITIATED AS DEALERS ARE AFRAID OF LOSS OF THEIR JOBS. SO THIS FRAUD CONTINUES. THE LEASE RATES IN LONDON HAVE NOW REVERTED BACK TO 1% BUT GOLD IN LONDON IS STILL EXTREMELY SCARCE. WE CAN NOW SAFELY SAY THAT THERE IS A RUN ON A BANK AND THAT BANK IS THE BANK OF ENGLAND!!!

THE LIQUIDATION OF T.A.S. CONTRACTS THROUGHOUT LAST MONTH OF APRIL AND ONTO MAY, CONTINUED TO DISTORT OPEN INTEREST NUMBERS GREATLY ALTHOUGH THE T.A.S. ISSUANCES IN GOLD HAVE GENERALLY BEEN ON THE LOW SIDE COMPARED TO SILVER WHICH HAVE BEEN HUGE. HOWEVER TODAY’S NUMBER IS ANOTHER HUMDINGER AS THE CME NOTIFIES US THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED 18,406 T.A.S. FOLLOWING HUGE ISSUANCES DURING OUR LAST 4 TRADING DAYS. . LAST THURSDAY’S ISSUANCE WAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER BY FAR IN COMEX HISTORY WITH FRIDAY’S BEING THE 2ND HIGHEST EVER RECORDED!THE AVERAGE OF THE 5 ISSUANCES WAS 35,000+. NATURALLY THAT SIGNALS THAT WE WILL WITNESS CONTINUAL RAIDS AND FINISHING TODAY, IF HISTORY SERVES US WELL… (FROM JANUARY 2025 THROUGH TO MARCH 2025 WE HAD THESE 5 MEGA MEGA 30,000+ ISSUANCES WHICH DISTORTED OPEN INTEREST GREATLY.)

THE T.A.S. LIQUIDATION OF THESE T.AS. CONTRACTS IS WHY WE ARE HAVING DISTORTED COMEX OPEN INTEREST GAINS AND LOSSES IN OI BUT THIS IS COUPLED WITH MEGA HUGE AMOUNTS OF GOLD STANDING FOR DELIVERY TO CONFUSE THE ISSUE!!!!! AND THIS WAS SURELY ON DISPLAY WITH FIRST DAY NOTICE TOTALS WITH GOLD TONNES STANDING FOR APRIL AT 209 + TONNES INCLUDING MANY MASSIVE QUEUE JUMPS AND THIS CONTINUED INTO MAY AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW ANOTHER STRONG QUEUE JUMP OCCURRED ON MAY’S DELIVERY CYCLE// WEDNESDAY  AT 2.444TONNES, THIS MONTH WE HAVE RECORDED THE HIGHEST EVER QUEUE JUMP RECORDED IN COMEX GOLD HISTORY AT 6.80 TONNES SURPASING LAST WEEK’S 6.44 TONNES

THE TONNAGE STANDING FOR GOLD FOR MAY IS NOW 61.745 TONNES (WHICH INCLUDES TODAY’S STRONG QUEUE JUMP AND OUR INITIAL 1.55 TONNES EX FOR RISK!)

THE FED IS THE OTHER MAJOR SHORT OF AROUND 22+ TONNES OF GOLD OWING TO THE B.I.S. THE FED NEEDS TO COVER AS THEY ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO GOLD PRICES NOW THAT THEY MUST BECOME COMPLIANT TO BASEL III RULES JULY 1/2023 AS OUTLINED IN ANDREW MAGUIRE’S LATEST LIVE FROM THE VAULT 222 EPISODE. AS HE TACKLES THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC. THE FOUR OR FIVE BANKS ARE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR HUGE PRECIOUS METAL DERIVATIVE EXPOSURE (NORTH OF ONE TRILLION DOLLARS) AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE MAJOR REASON FOR GOLD/SILVER’S RISE THESE PAST THREE MONTHS. THEY ARE TOTALLY TRAPPED., AND THEIR FAILURE TO STOP CENTRAL BANK PURCHASES OF PHYSICAL GOLD IS THE MAJOR ISSUE OF THE DAY!IT SURE LOOKS LIKE THE BIS HAS GIVEN THE FED ITS MARCHING ORDERS TO COVER ITS PHYSICAL GOLD SHORT. TRUMP WILL PROBABLY BE FURIOUS WITH THE FED IF IT FINDS OUT THAT THEY (FRBNY) HAS BEEN MANIPULATING THE GOLD MARKET FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

OUR PHYSICAL LONDONERS BOUGHT NEW MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF LONGS AT ANY PRICE AND THIS GOLD BOUGHT WILL BE TENDERED FOR PHYSICAL ON A T + ???? BASIS. BECAUSE GOLD IS BASEL III COMPLIANT, GOLD IS SUPPOSED BE DELIVERED IN A VERY TIMELY ONE DAY. CENTRAL BANKS AROUND THE WORLD, BEING REPRESENTED BY OUR LONDONERS, ARE THE REAL PURCHASERS OF THIS GOLD.

EUROPE IS NOW BASEL III COMPLIANT. THE WEST (FED AND COMEX) MUST BE COMPLIANT BY JULY 1//2025.

THE PROBLEM FOR THOSE PROVIDING THE SHORT PAPER IS THE SHOCK TO THEM ON RECEIVING NOTICE THAT THE LONGS WANT THE PHYSICAL GOLD AS THEY TENDER FOR THAT SHINY YELLOW METAL. THE HIGH LIQUIDATION OF OUR TWO SPREADERS: 1) THE MONTH END SPREADERS AND 2. T.A.S DURING THESE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IS SURELY DISTORTING COMEX OPEN INTEREST BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP LONDON’S ACCUMULATION OF PHYSICAL! YOU CAN ALSO VISUALIZE THAT PERFECTLY WITH THE HUGE AMOUNTS OF QUEUE JUMPING ORCHESTRATED BY CENTRAL BANKERS BOLTING AHEAD OF ORDINARY LONGS AS THEIR NEED FOR PHYSICAL IS GREAT AS THEY SCOUR THE PLANET LOOKING FOR GOLD, AND THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF GOLD STANDING EACH AND EVERY MONTH INCLUDING FIRST DAY NOTICE OF GOLD TONNAGE STANDING. 

EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL ISSUANCE

 THE CME REPORTS THAT THE BANKERS ISSUED A STRONG SIZED TRANSFER THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE AS THESE LONGS RECEIVED A DELIVERABLE LONDON FORWARD TOGETHER WITH A FIAT BONUS.,

THAT IS A STRONG SIZED 3375 EFP CONTRACT WAS ISSUED: :  /JUNE  3375 & ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS:

TOTAL EFP ISSUANCE: 3375 CONTRACT. THESE EFP;S CIRCLE AROUND LONDON ON A 13 DAY BASIS AND ARE NOW USED BY GLOBAL CENTRAL BANKS TO EXERCISE FOR PHYSICAL GOLD WITH THE OBLIGATION TO DELIVER BEING FORCED ONTO COMEX BANKS. THE GOLD GENERALLY DELIVERED COMES FROM LONDON BUT THEY ARE OUT!! THUS COMEX BECOMES THE MAJOR SOURCE FOR OUR CENTRAL BANKERS.

WE HAD :

1. LITTLE LIQUIDATION OF OUR T.A.S. SPREADERS
2. ZERO SPEC LIQUIDATION WITH OUR GAIN IN PRICE

T.A.S.SPREADER ISSUANCE

AS PER OUR NEWBIE TRADE AT SETTLEMENT (TAS) MANIPULATION OPERATION (WHICH CRAIG HEMKE HAS POINTED OUT HAPPENS USUALLY DURING MID MONTH IN THE DELIVERY CYCLE), BUT NOW ON A DAILY BASIS, THE CME REPORTS THAT THE TOTAL T.A.S. ISSUANCE FOR TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING WAS A MEGA MEGA HUGE SIZED, 18,406  FOLLOWING LAST FRIDAY’S 45,706 CONTRACTS AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE SECOND HIGHEST EVER ISSUANCE IN COMEX HISTORY.

THE RAIDS WHETHER ON OPTIONS EXPIRY MONTH OR OTHERWISE LIKE TODAY, ACCOMPLISHES TWO IMPORTANT ASPECTS FOR OUR CROOKS:

1. STALLS THE ADVANCE IN PRICE
2. LOWERS THEIR ADVANCING DERIVATIVE LOSSES.

MECHANICS OF T.A.S CONTRACTS/DECEMBER THROUGH MARCH, APRIL AND MAY

THROUGHOUT THE FEW YEARS, THE BANKERS CONTINUE TO SELL OFF THE LONG SIDE OF THE SPREAD (T.A.S.) WHICH  OF COURSE CONTINUES TO MANIPULATE THE PRICE OF GOLD SOUTHBOUND. (THEY KEEP THE SHORT SIDE OF THE CALENDAR/T.A.S. SPREAD WHICH WILL BE LIQUIDATED IN DAYS HENCE

AMOUNT OF GOLD STANDING FOR MAY

THE FRONT MONTH OF MAY STANDS AT 2272 CONTRACTS FOR A GAIN OF 1256 CONTRACTS. WE HAD 956 CONTRACTS SERVED ON TUESDAY SO WE GAINED A HUGE 2212 CONTRACTS AND THUS WE WITNESS A MONSTER 221,200 OZ QUEUE JUMP FOR 6.8802 TONNES, THE HIGHEST EVER QUEUE JUMP RECORDED IN COMEX HISTORY!!!!

JUNE LOST 20,123 CONTRACTS TO 204,404. JUNE BECOMES OUR NEW FRONT MONTH AND THIS MONTH WILL BE A WHOPPER OF A DELIVERY MONTH. THE FRBNY IS QUITE NERVOUS LOOKING AT JUNE OI.

JULY GAINED 541 CONTRACTS TO STAND AT 3145

We had 2212 contracts filed for today representing 221,200 oz  

This is a huge major assault on the comex for gold and this time it is physical that will be requested.

Today, 0 notice(s) were issued from J.P.Morgan dealer and 196 notices issued from their client or customer account. The total of all issuance by all participants equate to 2212 contract(s) of which 0  notices were stopped (received) by  j.P. Morgan dealer and 1462 notice(s) was (were) stopped  (received) by J.P.Morgan//customer account 

To calculate the INITIAL total number of gold ounces standing for MAY /2025. contract month, we take the total number of notices filed so far for the month (19,293 X 100 oz ) to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of  MAY (2272 CONTRACTS)  minus the number of notices served upon today  (2212 x 100 oz per contract) equals  1,935,300 OZ  OR 60.195 TONNES

thus the INITIAL standings for gold for the MAY contract month:  No of notices filed so far (19,293 x 100 oz +we add the difference for front month of MAY (2272 OI} minus the number of notices served upon today (2212 x 100 oz) which equals  1,935,000 OZ OR 60.195 TONNES

TOTAL COMEX GOLD STANDING FOR MAY.: 60.195 TONNES WHICH IS HUGE FOR THIS NON ACTIVE ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH IN THE CALENDAR. FEBRUARY HAD THE HIGHEST DELIVERY FOR ANY MONTH AND APRIL WAS SECOND..

CALCULATIONS FOR THE NEW STANDING FOR SILVER FOR MAY

silver open interest data:

FRONT MONTH OF MAY /2025 OI: 606 OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS FOR A GAIN OF 18 CONTRACTS. WE HAD 1 NOTICE FILED ON TUESDAY SO WE GAINED 19 CONTRACTS WHICH UNDERWENT A QUEUE JUMP OF 95,000 OZ WHERE THESE BOYS HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE DELIVERY OVER HERE. I MUST REPORT WE HAD 0 EXCHANGE FOR RISK ISSUANCE FOR TODAY. THUS THE NEW TOTAL REMAINS AT TWO ISSUANCES OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK IS 12.93 MILLION OZ.

JUNE SAW A LOSS OF 143 CONTRACTS DOWN TO 2977 CONTRACTS. JUNE OI REFUSES TO LIQUIDATE

AS IT IS NOW THE FRONT MONTH.

JULY LOST 775 CONTRACTS UP TO 105,771

TOTAL NUMBER OF NOTICES FILED FOR TODAY: 39 or 0.195 MILLION oz

CONFIRMED volume; ON TUESDAY 53,065 poor//

AND NOW MAY DELIVERIES:

To calculate the number of silver ounces that will stand for delivery in MAY. we take the total number of notices filed for the month so far at 14,297 X5,000 oz = 71.485 MILLION oz 

to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of MAY (606) AND the number of notices served upon today (39 )x (5000 oz)

Thus the  standings for silver for the MAY 2025 contract month:  (14,279) Notices served so far) x 5000 oz + OI for the front month of MAY(606) minus number of notices served upon today (39)x 5000 oz equals silver standing for the MAY contract month equating to 74.320 MILLION OZ . THEN WE MUST ADD OUR NEW 12.93 TONNES OF EXCHANGE FOR RISK. NEW TOTAL STANDING FOR SILVER: 87.290 MILLION OZ

 New total standing:  87.290 million oz which is huge for this active delivery month of MAY.

We must also keep in mind that there is considerable silver standing in London coming from our longs in New York that underwent EFP transfers.

There are 167.609million oz of registered silver.

The record level of silver open interest is 234,787 contracts set on April 21./2017 with the price on that day at $18.42. The previous record was 224,540 contracts with the price at that time of $20.44.

Now that we have surpassed $28.40 the next big line in the sand for silver is $34.76. After that the moon

the next big line in the sand for silver is $34.76. After that the moon

Singapore seeks to rival London and NY with new gold contract

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2025-05-13 08:13 Section: Daily Dispatches

By Leslie Hook and Owen Walker
Financial Times, London
Tuesday, May 13, 2025

Singapore-based start-up Abaxx Exchange is seeking to challenge the dominance of London and New York in the global bullion market with the launch of a new physical gold contract, following a blistering price rally this year.

The bourse, which has raised more than $100 million from investors including BlackRock and CBOE Global Markets, plans to offer a physical 1-kilo gold contract next month, denominated in U.S. dollars and deliverable in Singapore.

Chief executive Josh Crumb described the structure of the gold market — in which London is the center of physical trading and New York the center of the futures market — as “dysfunctional” because infrastructure has not kept pace with how it is traded.

“Our view is that Asia ex-China needs a gold market, to manage the physical gold, that is not reliant on New York and London,” said Crumb, pointing to “geopolitical” risks in the US and UK.

Building a physical gold market in Singapore would help meet the needs of commercial gold users such as jewelry manufacturers in the region, added Crumb.

“In Singapore, people feel like they are not well served by the existing market,” said Crumb. “The actual real physical demand is kilo bars going into Asia.” …

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Coin and bullion dealer Miles Franklin’s Andy Schectman is London metals trader Andrew Maguire’s guest on this week’s edition of Kinesis Money’s “Live From the Vault” program, and they discuss how gold has preserved wealth through centuries of monetary and political upheaval. 

They also discuss the developing world’s challenge to the pricing of gold by derivatives in Western markets, a challenge that is leading to a worldwide revaluation of gold.

The Copper-to-Gold Ratio: The Market’s Most Overlooked Warning Signal?

by JM Bullion

Gold’s been stealing the spotlight, but another signal is flashing behind the scenes: the copper-to-gold ratio.

Historically, this ratio has been a powerful gauge of where the economy is heading—and where metals might go next.

Right now, that warning light is flashing red. 

What the Copper-to-Gold Ratio Means

When copper outperforms gold, it usually signals economic optimism. Copper is tied to growth—construction, manufacturing, and technology. When it’s strong, it suggests expansion.

But when gold outperforms copper, markets are bracing for trouble. Investors start seeking safety instead of betting on growth. It’s an early warning sign that something bigger might be brewing.

Right now, gold is dominating copper. As of April 22, 2025, the copper-to-gold ratio has plummeted to its lowest level in nearly 40 years, signaling recessionary conditions not seen since major downturns in the mid-1980s. 

Even with copper’s recent price action, it hasn’t been able to keep pace with gold’s surge.

Why This Matters for Metals Investors

If history holds, a falling copper-to-gold ratio doesn’t just warn about the economy—it often marks the start of powerful moves in precious metals.

During previous periods of weakness in the ratio, gold and silver exploded higher, as investors scrambled for hard assets when paper promises looked shaky.

Today’s setup is eerily similar. We have tariffs fueling inflation, slowing global trade, a wobbling dollar, and bond markets flashing stress signals. It’s no surprise that gold has broken out, and silver could be close behind.

Now’s the Time to Get Real

Markets are full of noise. But the copper-to-gold ratio cuts through it. It’s signaling caution. It’s telling investors that growth bets are getting riskier, and real assets like gold are becoming more essential.

Owning physical gold is about positioning yourself before the storm hits full force.

• White House economic adviser Hassett says the administration has more than 20-25 deals on the table and when President Trump returns, he will announce the next deal, according to a Fox interview.
• Stocks opened mixed but now hold a downward bias as the risk tone dips; US futures flat/modestly lower.
• DXY is hit and makes a fresh WTD low, JPY leads.
• Bonds hold an upward bias as risk appetite deteriorates, Bunds see modest upside on a well-received German auction.
• Crude clipped as Trump speaks in Saudi, commodities fail to benefit from USD downside.
• Looking ahead, OPEC MOMR Speakers including ECB’s Cipollone, Fed’s Jefferson & Daly. Earnings from Cisco Systems, CoreWeave.

TARIFFS/TRADE

• White House economic adviser Hassett said the administration has more than 20-25 deals on the table with deals close to being finalised and when President Trump returns, he will announce the next deal, according to a Fox interview.
• US-China trade ceasefire is to drive early Black Friday and Christmas stockpiling with ports and shipping companies expecting a surge in demand as retailers take advantage of lower tariffs on Chinese imports, according to the FT.
• China criticised a trade deal between the UK and US that could be used to squeeze Chinese products out of British supply chains, according to the FT.
• Mexico’s Economy Minister said they hope to start the USMCA review as soon as possible to give consumers and investors clarity.

EUROPEAN TRADE

EQUITIES

• European bourses (STOXX 600 -0.2%) opened modestly mixed and on either side of the unchanged mark; since, the risk tone has deteriorated to display a mostly negative picture in Europe.
• European sectors opened mixed and with no clear theme or bias, and with the breadth of the market fairly narrow. Real Estate takes the top spot, joined closely by Telecoms and then Utilities to complete the top three. Autos sit towards the foot of the pile, driven by post-earning weakness in Daimler Truck (-1.1%).
• US equity futures are flat/modestly lower, attempting to hold onto the gains seen yesterday, strength which was in-part spurred by the plethora of deals announced/reported on during the Saudi event.
• Barclays raises its 2025 year-end price target for STOXX 600 to 540 (prev. 490, currently 545.09).
• Barclays European Equity Strategy downgrades Consumer Staples to Underweight; upgrades Consumer Discretionary to Market Weight (prev. Underweight).
• Goldman Sachs lifts its Stoxx 600 target for the next 12-months to 570 (prev. 520).

FX

• DXY began the European session on a modestly weaker footing, continuing to pare back some of the US-China induced upside. As the session progressed, some hefty Dollar pressure was seen, as the risk tone deteriorated and with some traders pointing towards a technical driven move. Some focus may also be on Deputy Finance Minister Choi’s meeting with Kaproth of the US Treasury on May 5th to discuss FX. DXY currently towards the lower end of a 100.28-101.02 range. Data docket ahead is thin, focus will be on commentary from Fed Vice Chair Jefferson and Fed’s Daly (2027 voter) – do note that in prepared remarks from Waller, he did not comment on monetary policy.
• EUR is on a firmer footing, largely benefiting from the broader Dollar weakness, rather than any EZ-specific updates, which have been lacking in today’s session. To recap, Spanish and German Final inflation figures were unrevised. Elsewhere, ECB’s Nagel said “there is a good probability the inflation target will be maintained; current uncertainty will be the new “normal”, central banks have to get used to manage it” – remarks which had little impact on the pair. The Single Currency has made a fresh WTD high at 1.1264.
• JPY is the best-performing G10 currency thus far; early morning strength was thanks to the broadly softer US yield environment, and with some modest deterioration in the risk tone (leading to broader Dollar weakness) USD/JPY managed to dip back below the 147.00 mark to a fresh low at 145.76, taking out the 50 DMA at 146.18.
• GBP is modestly firmer vs the broadly weaker Dollar, but is a little weaker vs EUR. Today has seen a few appearances from BoE members; starting with arch-hawk Mann, she noted that “UK labour market has been more resilient than expected. Worried that household inflation expectations have increased”. Elsewhere, Breeden released a text publication, but that focused more on supervision matters rather than on monetary policy. There was little price action sparked by both members.
• Antipodeans are modestly firmer vs the weaker Dollar; AUD/USD currently trading at the upper-end of a 0.6464-0.65 range; NZD/USD in a 0.5931-0.5968 parameter.
• PBoC set USD/CNY mid-point at 7.1956 vs exp. 7.1813 (Prev. 7.1991)

FIXED INCOME

• A similar setup to Tuesday morning as USTs find themselves marginally in the green while peers across the pond are a touch in the red. USTs find themselves at the upper-end of a very thin 110-01 to 110-09 band. Fed’s Waller did not comment on monetary policy in prepared remarks; next up, Jefferson and Daly.
• Bunds are in-fitting with action at this time on Tuesday, a touch softer in narrow parameters with specifics for the bloc fairly light. No move to a handful of final data points from Germany and Spain. Elsewhere, ECB’s Nagel said “there is a good probability the inflation target will be maintained; current uncertainty will be the new “normal”, central banks have to get used to manage it” – remarks which had little impact on the pair. Some modest upside was seen as the risk tone was hit a little in European trade and currently trades in a 129.29-59 band. Some modest upside was seen following a well received Bund auction.
• Again, echoes of the dynamic on Tuesday as Gilts find themselves the modest fixed underperformer. Specifics for the UK are a touch light, remarks from BoE’s Breeden this morning largely stayed clear of monetary policy. Before Breeden, “activist” Mann was on the wires and expressed concern that the labour market has been more resilient than forecast and that household inflation expectations have increased; overall, her commentary was hawkish and may be factoring into the bearish bias for Gilts, but nothing overly surprising from the dissenter.

• The crude complex is failing to benefit from the weaker dollar, as it gives back a little of Tuesday’s strength with today’s focus on US President Trump in Riyadh, where commentary has weighed on benchmarks, currently down by around USD 0.40/bbl on the day. Crude edged lower this morning amid constructive language regarding the Middle East from the US President, who announced the lifting of sanctions on Syria, expressed interest in normalizing relations, and emphasized a vision for a peaceful and prosperous region. WTI and Brent are just above session lows, in respective USD 62.86-63.68 and 65.82-66.59/bbl ranges.

Generac CEO: Will Slash Reliance On Chinese Supply Chains Within 18 Months

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 09:45 AM

Aaron Jagdfeld, chief executive of Generac Holdings, appeared on Bloomberg Television Tuesday evening to discuss how the company is responding to President Trump’s trade war and the recently announced 90-day de-escalation period in U.S.-China trade tensions. 

Jagdfeld, who leads one of America’s largest generator manufacturers, highlighted the company’s long-term strategy to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains. He outlined that Generac has been reducing supply chain exposure to China since President Trump’s first term and will reduce 10% exposure to 5% in 18 months. 

“So today, less than 10% of our supply chain comes from China, but that’ll be less than 5% in 18 months based on plans we’ve already had in motion. And this will obviously accelerate those. And where we go next is kind of the question, right?” Jagdfeld said. 

He continued, “So where are there’s going to be winners and losers as companies like ours rotate their supply chains into different countries? You know, India has always held a lot of promise as a supply chain, as a trade partner for the U.S., I think that will probably start to come to fruition more, you know, more meaningfully in the next year or two.”

Earlier this week, the U.S. and China announced a breakthrough trade agreement that temporarily lowered tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. The U.S. dropped its 145% on Chinese goods to 30%, while China lowered levies from 125% to 10%. 

Goldman illustrates the rollercoaster ride of the tit-for-tat trade war between the U.S. and China in recent months, as well as the temporary cooling period aimed at de-escalating tensions.

On Wednesday morning, Goldman analyst Jerry Shen told clients, “We Now Expect the Effective Tariff Rate to increase by 13pp.” 

Trump’s tariff shock is working. However, friend-shoring and or re-shoring will take time. This is a great start because we’ve described some of the critical supply chains America needs to secure before the 2030s… Read Here. 

What are the national security implications of having critical backup power generation supply chains overseas? This might be one of those supply chains that need to be re-shored.

Pop Star Ed Sheeran Admits “Every Area Of London” Is Dangerous N

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 03:30 AM

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Modernity.news,

According to British pop star Ed Sheeran, “every area” of London is “dangerous” now, including the supposedly nice ones.

During an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast, Sheeran was asked by the host, “What’s the most dangerous place to be around here?”

“I’d say every area of London, literally every area is sketchy,” the singer responded.

“The nice areas are sketchy, the bad areas are sketchy, but you just have to not do stupid shit,” he added.

Presumably, by “stupid shit,” Sheeran means things like not attaching your mobile phone to your body in case it gets swiped.

The crime has reached an “industrial level” in the English capital, with criminals stealing 70,137 devices last year alone, an average of 192 a day.

Compare that to as recently as 2020, when 20,000 phones were reported stolen.

In the supposedly “nice” areas Sheeran references, wealthier people have stopped wearing expensive watches and jewelry due to the risk of having it snatched by criminals on mopeds.

So-called “follow home” robberies, where thieves track victims from luxury shopping districts before striking, are also commonplace in London.

Figures released earlier this year also show that knife crime continues to be a major problem, rising 18 per cent since 2022.

Meanwhile, take a look at how Manchester has been turned into a dystopian hellscape, mirroring virtually every other major British city, as well as many of the smaller ones.

The IDF intercepted a missile launched from the Houthi terrorist organization from Yemen early Wednesday morning, triggering sirens across the Jerusalem area, the southern West Bank, and the Dead Sea area.

Arrow and THAAD anti-ballistic missiles were fired to intercept the missile, according to KAN.

No casualties have been reported in the incident, except for a woman who was wounded on her way to a nearby shelter, according to Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom.

The last sirens that were sounded in the Israeli capital occurred 13 hours prior, also due to a missile launch from Yemen, which was also intercepted by the IDF on Tuesday evening. This was also the third missile that was fired towards Israel in two days.

Tuesday’s missile had triggered sirens across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv.

Later in the night, the Houthis fired an additional missile at Israel. However, it fell while on the way to Israel, and as a result, no sirens sounded, Israeli media reported. 

Missiles come after ceasefire announced between US, Houthis

The US announced last week that it had reached a ceasefire with the Houthis, but the Houthis stated that Israel was not included in the ceasefire, and that the Iran-backed group would continue its attacks on Israel. 

This is a developing story.

ISRAEL VS HAMAS

TWO COMMENTARIES;

Hamas Gaza Leader Muhammad Sinwar Targeted In Israeli Airstrikes On Hospital

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – 07:40 PM

The Israeli military has announced a major operation in Gaza, which has targeted Muhammad Sinwar, who took over as the head of Hamas in Gaza following the killing of his brother, the better known late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, in October.

Israeli jets targeted Sinwar during a major hospital strike in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday afternoon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed in a statement that it hit senior leaders in an underground command center, described as below the European Hospital in Khan Younis.

The air raid saw at least nine bombs dropped, with the ground having utterly collapsed in the area of the strike, which suggests there will be high civilian casualties. The jets may have used large US-supplied bunker-busting bombs.

Indeed, the Times of Israel soon after reported that “The Hamas-run health ministry reported 16 dead and over 70 wounded in the strike, though there was no immediate word if Sinwar was among the casualties.”

The IDF is still working to confirm whether Sinwar is among the dead. Israeli sources said there was a “small window of opportunity” for the strike given Hamas leaders are utilizing the vast tunnel network that exists under the hospital.

Israeli commanders shrugged off the international outrage and criticism over its jets targeting a hospital to go after a Hamas leader:

“The Hamas terror organization continues to use hospitals in the Gaza Strip for terror purposes, cynically and cruelly exploiting the civilian population in and around the hospital,” the IDF said.

It was only on Monday that Hamas released the last Israeli-American hostage, Edan Alexander, after the Trump White House’s mediation.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has since vowed to continue hostage negotiations, but stipulated these talks with Hamas would take place “under fire” – meaning there will be no accompanying truce.

According to background on Sinwar from the WSJ:

Mohammed Sinwar was responsible for building up Hamas’s military wing, and was close to the U.S.-designated terrorist group’s top military commander, Mohammed Deif, who was killed by Israel last year. His brother Yahya, was the mastermind behind the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that launched the war. Israel killed three of Yahya Sinwar’s top deputies throughout the war, including Deif, and Hamas’s political head Ismail Haniyeh. 

If Mohammed Sinwar is dead, it would mean that the most important Hamas leaders behind the Oct. 7 attack have been taken out by Israel. After the Oct. 7 attack, Israel vowed to kill all of Hamas’s top leadership, including those abroad, and anyone who took part in or planned the attack. 

Meanwhile, President Trump said from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, “We continue to work to get that war ended as quickly as possible. It is a horrible thing that is taking place.”

Recent reports say that tensions between Trump and Netanyahu are growing, given the Israeli leader’s apparent reluctance to continue negotiating for the freedom of the remaining hostages. Netanyahu is instead pressing forward with a military solution.

The IDF on Tuesday attempted to assassinate Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in a strike on the European Hospital in Khan Yunis in Gaza, sources told The Jerusalem Post. 

The military may have used a bunker buster bomb in their attempted attack against Sinwar, defense sources told the Post. 

Following the initial attack, the IDF reportedly struck the area where Sinwar was allegedly located a second time, with the objective of preventing the evacuation of casualties, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported. 

Israel reportedly did not update the US prior to the assassination attempt, a source familiar with the details told Ynet. According to the report, the strike was the result of a “sudden opportunity,” leading to no time to inform the Americans or consider the timing of US President Donald Trump’s speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“We will not allow the Hamas terrorist organization to use hospitals and humanitarian facilities in Gaza as shelters and terrorist headquarters,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said. “We will pursue them and their leaders and strike them everywhere.”

He added that it was he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who authorized the IDF to strike the terror infrastructure under Nasser Hospital.

“The operation was carried out following information provided by the IDF and Shin Bet,” Katz continued. “The Hamas terrorist organization continues to use various hospitals and humanitarian facilities in Gaza as shelters and terrorist headquarters, while putting the population at risk and committing war crimes.”

Security officials have long believed that Mohammed Sinwar replaced his brother, Yahya Sinwar, as the new Hamas leader after his assassination in October. Khalil al-Hayya, Yahya Sinwar’s deputy, was believed to have taken on political responsibilities. 

Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF confirmed that they had struck Nasser Hospital, where Hamas terrorists were operating from within a command and control center.

According to the military, the compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

Senior Hamas officials continue to use the hospital for terrorist activity through cynical and brutal use of the civilian population in the hospital and its surroundings, the military added.

Prior to the strike, multiple steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence, the military asserted.

Key Hamas terrorist killed in March

In late March, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) struck a key Hamas terrorist who was operating within Nasser Hospital, the Post previously reported. 

Ismail Barhoum, a member of Hamas’s political bureau in Gaza and head of the organization’s finances, was targeted and killed in the operation.

According to a joint statement from the IDF and Shin Bet, the strike was conducted following an intelligence-gathering process and with precise munitions.

An Israeli official told the Post that if Sinwar has indeed been eliminated, it should make it easier to reach a deal. “Sinwar was the most extreme figure in terms of negotiation positions for reaching a deal,” the official said. “If he is out of the picture, it should ease the efforts to reach an agreement.”

The assassination attempt occurred as the Israeli delegation, led by “M” from the Shin Bet and the Coordinator for Prisoners and Missing Persons, Gal Hirsch, arrived in Qatar on Tuesday evening. Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the administration’s envoy for hostage affairs, Adam Boehler, also arrived in Qatar.

Ahead of the negotiations that began on Tuesday, senior Qatari officials met in recent days with Hamas representatives based in Doha. “The message received by the American administration was that, despite Israel’s insistence on a deal that does not include ending the war, Hamas is willing to negotiate even though it has not changed its position,” a source familiar with the details told the Post.

Hamas Rafah brigade commander probably killed in IDF strike on Sinwar

Rafah brigade commander Mohammad Shabanah was potentially next in line to lead Hamas.

The IDF’s strike on Tuesday night to try to kill Hamas chief Mohammad Sinwar may have killed Hamas Rafah Brigade commander Muhammad Shabana, sources estimate.

So far, there is cautious optimism that both Hamas officials were killed in the attack, though it may take time to confirm.

If so, then Hamas’s current leader and one of the few top until now living Hamas commanders who might have replaced him, would have been removed with one swift military stroke. 

IDF’s previous strikes

Already during the war, the IDF has killed October 7 architect Yahya Sinwar, former military chief Mohammad Deif, Deif’s deputy Marwan Issa, Northern Gaza Brigade commander Ahmad Ran Dur, Central Gaza Brigade Commander Ayman Nofel, and Khan Yunis Brigade Commander Rafah Salame.

This would leave only Gaza City Brigade commander Az-adin-al-Hadad alive from the pre-war original five Hamas brigade commanders.

Heavy Fighting Again Erupts In Capital Of Fractured Libya

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 02:00 AM

Via Middle East Eye

Clashes between heavily armed militias erupted across the Libyan capital late on Monday night, killing at least six people and plunging Tripoli into renewed violence and fear. The fighting, which continued into the early hours of Tuesday, was triggered by the killing of Abdelghani al-Kikli, a powerful militia commander known as “Gheniwa,” who led the Stability Support Authority (SSA), one of Tripoli’s most influential armed factions.

Heavy gunfire and explosions were reported in several neighbourhoods, particularly Abu Salim, a densely populated southern district. Residents told Reuters they heard intense gun battles. “Six bodies have been retrieved from the sites of clashes around Abu Salim,” Libya’s Emergency Medicine and Support Center confirmed.

The health ministry also said that emergency crews helped evacuate families trapped by the violence and called on hospitals and medical centers “to raise their level of preparedness and ensure maximum readiness to deal with any emergency”.

In the wake of the clashes, the interior ministry of the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU) issued an emergency alert urging residents to stay indoors.

Schools and universities suspended classes, exams and all administrative activities. The education ministry cited the “deteriorating security situation,” while the University of Tripoli announced a full closure “until further notice”.

Death of a warlord

Al-Kikli was allegedly ambushed on Monday evening in a facility run by the 444 Brigade, a rival militia led by Mahmoud Hamza, an influential commander allied with GNU Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah.

While the exact circumstances of his killing remain murky, a nephew of al-Kikli said in a Facebook post that he had been lured under the pretence of negotiations, an invitation that turned out to be a calculated hit. “For many years, Abdelghani ‘Ghnewa’ al-Kikli was arguably one of the most resilient, most successful armed group leaders in Tripoli when it came to extending militia influence beyond hard security,” Jalel Harchaoui, an analyst focusing on Libyan security and political economy, said in a post on X.

“His primary strength lay not in military might – though his territorial holdings did expand – but in his ability to outmaneuver Prime Minister Dbeibah. Today, however, that winning streak looks [like] it has come to an end.”

Al-Kikli had long been a controversial figure in Libya’s volatile security landscape. Amnesty International previously accused him of war crimes and human rights violations, including torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killings.

The SSA had become one of the most powerful militias in western Libya, with deep entrenchment in state institutions. As Harchaoui noted, al-Kikli had successfully “installed loyalists in key positions across the banking, telecom and administrative oversight sectors, and even within top diplomatic functions”.

A fractured state, again on edge

By early Tuesday morning, authorities said the situation was under control. The GNU said its forces carried out a “military operation” to restore security and reassert state authority in Abu Salim.

“What was accomplished today shows that official institutions are capable of protecting the homeland and preserving the dignity of its citizens,” Dbeibah wrote on X, praising the operation as “a decisive step” against “irregular” armed factions.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expressed grave concern over the fighting, calling for an immediate ceasefire and the protection of civilians. “UNSMIL is alarmed by the unfolding security situation in Tripoli, with intense fighting with heavy weaponry in densely populated civilian areas,” it said on X. “Attacks on civilians and civilian objects may amount to war crimes.”

The UNSMIL warned that unless armed groups were held accountable, violence would remain a constant threat to Libyans caught in the crossfire.

The North African country has been divided between rival governments in the west and east since the 2011 Nato-backed uprising that overthrew and killed longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi. The internationally recognized GNU governs from Tripoli in the west, while a rival administration under Prime Minister Osama Hammad operates from Benghazi in the east with backing from General Khalifa Haftar’s forces.

Despite a 2020 ceasefire and several diplomatic efforts to unify the country, Libya remains fractured, with heavily armed factions vying for power, influence and control of lucrative oil and gas resources.

The latest clashes are the deadliest since August 2023, when rival factions in Tripoli battled for control, leaving 55 people dead.

Anas El Gomati, founder and director of the Tripoli-based Sadeq Institute, said on X that al-Kikli’s “elimination leaves Dbeibah as the dominant power broker in western Libya, having systematically neutralised or co-opted potential rivals.

“The timing is particularly significant, coming as US-led negotiations explore the possibility of a unified military council between rival eastern and western factions,” Gomati added. Harchaoui warned that “what is about to follow won’t be smooth sailing.“

“Tripoli faces a territorial reshuffle as Dbeibah’s camp moves to seize SSA-held areas,” he said, adding that clashes may flare, but the real impact is institutional, with both the Central Bank and Libyan Foreign Bank set to be affected by the collapse of al-Kikli’s network.

Trump urges Syrian President Sharaa to sign Abraham Accords with Israel during meeting in Riyadh

Trump also said he is looking at normalizing relations with Sharaa.

By REUTERS, AMICHAI STEIN, JERUSALEM POST STAFFMAY 14, 2025 09:36Updated: MAY 14, 2025 13:34

https://trinitymedia.ai/player/trinity-player.php?language=en&pageURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jpost.com%2Fbreaking-news%2Farticle-853885&unitId=2900003088&userId=1938e01a-2e38-4f76-9d42-6dd0304d8a0a&isLegacyBrowser=false&isPartitioningSupport=1&version=20250512_1d3fbbaade0376245b1957ffa6f4b16c1670ab38&useBunnyCDN=0&themeId=140&isMobile=0&unitType=tts-player

US President Donald Trump urged Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa to sign the Abraham Accords with Israel during their meeting ahead of the GCC summit in Riyadh on Wednesday.

The US leader added that he is also looking to normalize relations with Sharaa. The meeting between the two comes one day after Trump said that the US was lifting sanctions on Syria.

Trump told the Syrian leader he has “a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country,” according to an official statement by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Trump also urged Sharaa to “tell all foreign terrorists to leave Syria, deport Palestinian terrorists, help the US to prevent the resurgence of ISIS, and assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in the northeastern parts of the country.”

Shaara affirmed his commitment to the 1974 disengagement with Israel, the White House statement continued, recognized the opportunities of Iranians leaving Syria, and expressed interest in joint US-Syrian efforts in combating terrorism and eliminating chemical weapons.

Sources told The Jerusalem Post that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also present in the meeting, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined by video conference. Erdogan and the Saudi Crown Prince praised Trump for lifting the sanctions on Syria, Leavitt said.

Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said that Saudi Arabia would support Syria’s economic recovery and thanked Trump for lifting US sanctions on Syria. He said that there are many investment opportunities in Syria after lifting US sanctions, possibly a “breakthrough” in Saudi support for Syria.

The US president had agreed to say hello to the interim Syrian president, who was at the Saudi capital for meetings with the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Trump’s business deals in the Middle East

Trump’s first day of a four-day swing through the Gulf region was marked by lavish ceremony and business deals, including a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the US and $142 billion in US arms sales to the kingdom.

The US leader added that the US having relationships with Gulf countries is “good for Israel.”

Later on Wednesday, Trump will fly to the Qatari capital Doha, where he will participate in a state visit with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and other officials. Qatar, a key US ally, is expected to announce hundreds of billions of dollars in investments in the US.

US ally Israel has opposed sanctions relief for Syria, but Trump on Tuesday said that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Erdogan, who are both close to the US president, encouraged him to make the move.

Trump Praises ‘Young, Attractive’ President Sharaa, Founder Of Al Qaeda In Syria, Before Qatar Visin

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 10:05 AM

As a last major event while still on the ground in Saudi Arabia, and before embarking for Qatar, President Donald Trump met with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This signifies a monumental, historic shift in the entire regional order. We are witnessing the final blood soaked after-effects of the culmination of what was laid out in Seymour Hersh’s The Redirection, a policy which began all the way back in the Bush administration.

Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, got his start early in the Syria war as an emissary of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and later became founder of Syrian al-Qaeda, called Jabhat al-Nusra. The terror group went through several name changes, and is now the ruling Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in the wake of Bashar al-Assad’s December ouster. The CIA had helped the group take over Idlib in 2015.

Trump had yesterday in a speech before the US-Saudi Investment Forum described that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had asked him to remove the long in place sanctions against Syria. Trump expressed hope that the country could become stable again under its new rulers. “The sanctions were brutal and crippling and served as an important — really an important function — nevertheless, at the time. But now it’s their time to shine,” he said. “So I say, ‘Good luck, Syria.’ Show us something very special.'” As for ‘special’…

Indeed, Jolani/Sharaa, went from head of AQ-linked HTS in Idlib province, which is ruled by Sharia law, to standing in Riyadh alongside the United States president and Saudi crown prince. He actually still has not been removed from the US terrorism list, though the ten million dollar bounty which had been on his head was taken off months ago.

Trump described the terrorism elephant in the room by telling reporters aboard Air Force One just after the meeting that Sharaa was a “young, attractive guy — tough guy” with a “strong past” and that he now has an opportunity to stabilize Syria.

“He’s got a real shot at pulling it together,” Trump added. Trump had reportedly urged Sharaa to make peace with Israel and join the Abraham Accords. Washington has also been pressing Damascus to protect and respect religious minorities after recent mass killings of Alawites, Druze, and Christians – especially along the coast, in the south, and in some Damascus suburbs.

The conservative publication National Review has it right in pointing out the following: 

Trump’s meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa is even more extraordinary than an American president meeting with some repugnant branch of the Assad family. Until late December, the U.S. government was willing to pay $10 million for information about al-Sharaa’s location, because he was on the “specially designated global terrorist” list. 

The irony is that the Sharaa meeting happened on the sidelines of the summit of the United States and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members in Riyadh. It was the GCC which early in the Syria proxy war had a big role in funding the anti-Assad jihadist insurgency, which included ISIS and al-Qaeda. 

Qatar especially was a big financier of the Islamists in Syria who beheaded civilians, massacred Christians, and took women as sex slaves. Qatar even hosted “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) training camps, in coordination with the CIA and Western and Gulf intelligence services. FSA commandoes would then often, fresh of this training, take their weapons into Syria and fight right alongside ISIS. We have previously documented this many times.

As for highlights from the readout from the Trump-Sharaa meeting:

Trump told al-Sharaa that he had “a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country,” the readout said. He urged the Syrian leader to sign on to the Abraham Accords, a framework for Arab states to recognize Israeli sovereignty that the U.S. mediated during Trump’s first term.

He also advised al-Sharaa to tell foreign terrorists to leave Syria, deport Palestinian terrorists, help the U.S. prevent the resurgence of the Islamic State terrorist group and assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in Syria’s northeast.

Al-Sharaa affirmed his commitment to Syria’s 1974 disengagement with Israel and invited American companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas, the readout said.

On Wednesday Trump landed in Qatar, where as Al Jazeera explains “Regional peace, investments, energy and security cooperation on agenda as US President Donald Trump holds talks with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in the Qatari capital Doha during the second leg of his Gulf visit.”

An American president has not visited Qatar in more than 20 years. But certainly the two sides became closer in the context of the covert push to overthrow Assad, and to wage proxy war against the ‘pro-Iran axis’ in the region. Qatar is also home to major regional US military and naval facilities, and is of course an oil and gas hub far beyond its tiny geographic size.

As for another theme which Trump is continued to expected pushing, he said Wednesday: “This is good for Israel” – after reporters asked whether the Netanyahu government is being sidelined in his Gulf trip. “Having a relationship like I have with these countries … I think it’s very good for Israel.”

And as for the ongoing Gaza crisis, not much has been said publicly, but it is likely high on the agenda behind closed doors. After all, the White House wants to “be able to say he hit a home run in all three kingdoms – that he was able to build relationships that are going to transcend his presidency. He wants to overwhelm the US press with a success list.” Trump is holding talks with the Emir of Qatar.

Incident Taking Place – Baltic Sea – Russia v. Estonia

Hal Turner World May 14, 2025 Hits: 336

As of 3:12 PM eastern US time, there is an “incident” taking place in the Gulf of Finland, where authorities from Estonia are trying to intercept a Merchant ship believed to be part of Russia’s “Shadow Oil Fleet.”  Russia has deployed fighter jets to protect the ship.

Estonian forces attempted to detain the Gabon-flagged M/T JAGUAR oil tanker belonging to Russia’s “Shadow Fleet” in the Gulf of Finland. The vessel was en route to the Russian port of Primorsk.

Estonian vessels, along with an AW139 helicopter and a M28 Skytruck plane, can been seen maneuvering around the JAGUAR tanker.

A Russian Sukhoi Su-35-S fighter jet has been scrambled and is now on-station in the air above the incident. The Su-35S flew over the tanker in an attempt to “scare away” the Estonians, and in the process, violated Estonia’s Airspace over the Gulf of Finland. The situation is tense.

Estonia has no right to intercept ships in International Waters, and force them into Estonian waters.   The Russia fighter jet is authorized to fire in order to protect the Merchant ship because it is in International Waters.

The JAGUAR oil tanker is currently halted near one of the islands in the Gulf of Finland, so there’s a possibility that the Estonians ultimately managed to detain the vessel.

UPDATE 3:26 PM EDT —

The Estonia (a.k.a.”Pirates of the Baltic Sea”) began to threaten to ram the Merchant vessel and twice attempted to land troops from a helicopter.

Moreover, tactical aircraft were raised.

The Merchant Vessel crew did not fall for these provocations and the vessel continued on its course.

The forces and means involved in the provocation from the Estonian side:

• patrol boat “Raiu”;
• – patrol ship “Kurvits”;
• – landing helicopter;
• – PZL M28 aircraft;

Trump Admin Targets Journal’s “Proximal Origin” Paper Which Dismissed Possible Wuhan Lab Acciden

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – 09:45 PM

Authored by Paul D. Thacker via the DisInformation Chronicle,

A brief flurry of media reports last month criticized letters sent to medical journals by Edward R. Martin Jr., the former interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, who questioned whether journals have become “partisans in various scientific debates.” One liberal academic called the letters “fascist tactics” designed “to intimidate academic journals” triggering similar allegations across the media.

“Experts worry this will have a chilling effect on publications,” reported the New York Times, noting that an obscure journal called CHEST had been targeted.

“DOJ questions science journal about bias, triggering free-speech concerns,” reported the Washington Post, adding that three major publishers of medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine and Health Affairs, said they had not received letters, while publisher Springer Nature chose not to comment. NPR reported last week that the New England Journal of Medicine had in fact received a letter as had the American Medical Association’s journal JAMA.

The DisInformation Chronicle has learned that the actual target of Martin’s letters is the Nature Springer journal Nature Medicine, publisher of a highly controversial paper “Proximal Origin” which has faced charges of corruption and calls for retraction. A source inside the Department of Health and Human Services said Trump officials suspect the paper is a quid pro quo, written by the authors to dismiss the possibility of a lab accident and who then received a large grant months later from Tony Fauci.

The existence of the Nature Medicine letter has not been previously reported and is being made public for the first time. After Martin lost support among Republicans to be confirmed as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, President Trump picked him to head a new Weaponization Working Group inside the Justice Department.

Follow the science

Published in the third month of the COVID pandemic and arguing “we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible,” the “Proximal Origin” paper became a handy tool for NIH officials and virologists attempting to dismiss as a “conspiracy theory” claims that the pandemic could have started in a Wuhan lab funded by Fauci. Nature Medicine’s editor-in-chief, Joao Monteiro, tweeted that the paper “put conspiracy theories” about the pandemic’s possible lab origin to rest.

NIH Director Francis Collins promoted the “Proximal Origin” paper weeks after Nature Medicine published it on his March 2020 NIH Director’s Blog, and Fauci then seized upon the paper during a televised White House briefing a month afterwards.

“There was a study recently that we can make available to you,” Fauci said during the White House briefing, “where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists look at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolve and the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of species from an animal to a human.”

The paper would go on to become one of the most heavily cited scientific papers in 2020. The Nation reported in 2023 that “Proximal Origin” had been accessed online more than 5.7 million times and more than 2,000 media outlets had cited it. ABC News, for instance, ran an article titled “Sorry, Conspiracy Theorists. Study Concludes Covid-19 ‘Is Not a Laboratory Construct.’”

But by then, cracks had already appeared.

Follow the money, follow the documents

Emails made public through freedom of information act requests and by congressional investigators in 2022 showed that the papers’ authors had run it past funders—Francis Collins and Tony Fauci at the NIH, as well as with Jeremy Farrar, who was then at the Wellcome Trust. In one example, lead author Kristian Andersen with the Scripps Research Institute emailed the three funders thanking them for their “advice and leadership” and offering them a right to comment and give suggestions.

Further emails and internal slack discussions calling into question the credibility of “Proximal Origin” became public in the summer of 2023 following a congressional hearing. During the hearing, Republicans charged that Tony Fauci had helped orchestrate the paper’s publication. However, Democrats countered by releasing a report that found Wellcome Trust’s Jeremy Farrar helped “organize and facilitate” and “led the drafting process of the paper.”

“Jeremy, Dr. Farrar has been an amazing leader,” wrote “Proximal Origin” co-author Robert Garry of Tulane University in an email released by House Democrats. “Should be author.”

When questioned about his email during a House deposition, Garry agreed that Farrar should have been listed as an author.

According to Nature’s editorial policy, “A specific role for the funder in the conceptualization, design, data collection, analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript, should be disclosed.” However, the paper failed to note the involvement of either Fauci or Farrar, and Nature Medicine has refused to follow its own ethics guidelines.

News sites the Racket and Public co-published a slack message Andersen sent to his “Proximal Origin” co-authors on April 16, 2020, a month after Nature Medicine published the paper in March 2020.

“I’m still not fully convinced that no culture was involved,” Andersen wrote his co-authors, a month after publishing the paper that concluded the virus was not a laboratory construct. “We also can’t fully rule out engineering (for basic research).”

Days after the congressional hearing, the group BioSafety Now wrote a letter to Nature Medicine, signed by over 50 scientists, demanding retraction of “Proximal Origin.” The letter cited an investigation published by The Nation reporting on internal emails by the “Proximal Origin” authors that showed they didn’t even believe what they wrote in the paper.

“The main issue is that accidental release is in fact highly likely,” the Nation reported that Andersen wrote in a message to co-authors some weeks before Nature Medicine published the paper. An online campaign by BioSafety Now has since garnered over 5,700 signatures petitioning Nature Medicine to retract the paper.

In his letter to Nature Medicine, Martin wrote that he has been told that some journals “have a position for which they are advocating due to advertisement (under postal code) or sponsorship (under relevant fraud regulations).”

The letter also asks, “How do you clearly articulate to the public when you have certain viewpoints that are influenced by your ongoing relations with supporters, funders, advertisers, and others?”

A source close to the investigation said this question pertains to a grant Fauci awarded Andersen and Garry several months after they published “Proximal Origin” dismissing the possibility of a lab accident. Allegations that this grant was a bribe from Fauci have dogged Andersen for several years, accusations which he dismissed under oath during the July 2023 congressional hearing.

“There is no connection between the grant and the conclusions we reached about the origin of the pandemic,” Andersen wrote in sworn testimony to Congress. “We applied for this grant in June 2019, and it was scored and reviewed by independent experts in November 2019.”

The Intercept later reported that Andersen “knew that was false.” NIH records show the grant to Andersen wasn’t finalized until May 21, 2020, two months after Andersen published “Proximal Origin” in Nature Medicine.

In a guest essay earlier this month for The DisInformation Chronicle, an NIH infectious disease researcher wrote that the “Proximal Origin” authors left a gaping hole in their analysis by failing to account for a common method to manipulate viruses called “serial passaging.”

“And because they didn’t discuss this very common laboratory practice, they did not ‘disprove’ a laboratory origin for the virus,” the NIH research official wrote. “I have no idea how ignoring something so obvious could make it pass peer review and get published in a prestigious journal like Nature Medicine.”

UNLV Football’s Ben Christman Cause of Death Revealed

May 8, 2025

UNLV football player Ben Christman’s cause of death has been revealed, with officials stating the 21-year-old passed away naturally. The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner shared the results with TMZ Sports on Thursday, which determined he died from cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy. As we previously reported, Christman experienced chest pains during practice the day before his tragic death. The details behind the death are heartbreaking – a teammate returned home to check on Christman after he missed a workout and discovered the offensive lineman in his bedroom lying on his back, foaming at the mouth and with purple fingers. It was determined he had been dead for “a few hours” before he was found. Another teammate told officers about Christman’s chest pains at practice on Feb. 10 and a coach conducted an EKG on him at the UNLV facilities. He added a cardio doctor then reviewed the tests and stated they “looked normal.” Christman was a four-star athlete in the class of 2021 and was a member of the Ohio State and Kentucky teams before joining UNLV this past December.

MAHA RISING: BREAKING: HHS’ Top Medical Officer Blasts mRNA Vaccines As Dangerous ExperimentsBIGGEST SALE EVER CONTINUES!2nd Smartest Guy in the WorldMay 14 READ IN APP As if anyone that has actually been paying attention and isn’t completely brainwashed needs anymore proof that the Modified mRNA “vaccines” are slow kill bioweapons…“We’re not seeing a dramatic cancer association with the virus, but we are with the vaccinated people!”by Aussie17Folks, the mRNA vaccine scam is unraveling, and a top HHS insider is spilling the truth. Dr. Steven Hatfill, senior medical advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), just gave an explosive interview with Dana Parish. He’s a virologist and biodefense expert, serving as a special advisor in the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. since early this month. He also worked in the first Trump administration. Hatfill’s seen the cover-ups firsthand, and he’s calling out the mRNA vaccines for what they are: a dangerous experiment.“We’re not seeing a dramatic cancer association with the virus, but we are with the vaccinated people!” Dr. Steven Hatfill, HHS Special Medical AdvisorDr. Hatfill is crystal clear about one of the mRNA vaccine’s dirtiest secrets: the SV40 enhancer. He knows this genetic “afterburner” supercharges gene expression, like slamming the gas on a car with no brakes. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. The vaccines also contain plasmid DNA, and your cells’ LINE-1 mechanism grabs this foreign DNA, shoving it into your chromosomes. These “jumping genes” can land next to cancer-related genes, triggering chaos. Dr. Hatfill’s aware that the SV40 enhancer makes this worse, amplifying genes that can turn your body into a tumor factory. Random insertions disrupt pre-oncogenes, leading to cancer. Studies show spike protein from the VACCINE—not the virus—in tumors, months after the jab. “We’re not seeing a dramatic cancer association with just the virus,” Hatfill says. “But we are with the vaccinated people.” Autopsy data and published papers confirm it. This is real, and it’s terrifying.They told you the vaccine stays in your arm. Dr. Hatfill says that’s a lie. The Japanese Health Ministry sued Pfizer and got the data. They marked the vaccine with fluorescent dye and saw it spread to 20 organs in rats—within MINUTES. Your liver, heart, brain, ovaries—everywhere. They knew it and pushed the lie anyway. Why? Money talks.Then there’s the lipid nanoparticles, the mRNA delivery system. They don’t just drop off the spike protein. They disrupt cells, trigger allergic reactions, and damage organs like the heart. They contain polyethylene glycol—antifreeze. The spike protein itself is toxic, making your body attack itself. “You’re making your own poison if you’re vaccinated,” Hatfill says. This wasn’t a vaccine. It was a reckless experiment.Hatfill’s adamant: these mRNA shots were highly experimental. Nothing like this had ever been tested on humans at this scale. The clinical trials? A sick joke. They skipped old people, pregnant women, and babies, cherry-picking fit, healthy folks in their prime. Even then, problems piled up—data “misplaced” or swept under the rug. Pfizer tried to bury their trial data for 70 YEARS, despite laws demanding immediate release after emergency use authorization. “Do you remember that debacle?” Hatfill asks. They gambled with your life on untested tech, and the results are catastrophic.A population collapse in mRNA Vaccinated People?The fallout is brutal. Young men are losing testosterone—vaccine damage to their gonads. Women? Spike protein is piling up in their ovaries, and infertility is surging. Hatfill’s working with gynecologists (ABRG) on studies to examine ovarian reserve in vaccinated college women, and we’ll know the full damage soon. Just look at the recent study Nicolas Hulscher highlighted on May 9, 2025: rats given human-equivalent mRNA doses lost over 60% of their primordial follicles—permanent damage to the egg supply. AMH levels crashed, dying follicles spiked, and inflammation markers like TGF-β1 soared.FOCAL POINTS (Courageous Discourse)BREAKING: COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg SupplyBy Nicolas Hulscher, MPH…Read more5 days ago · 337 likes · 105 comments · Nicolas Hulscher, MPHIf this holds true for humans, we’re talking early menopause and infertility on a massive scale. Hatfill is working with Advanced Biological Research Group to dig deeper, and the numbers could be devastating. Pregnant women? The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology took $11 million and declared the vaccines safe—while ignoring miscarriages. “They didn’t count the miscarriages, did they?” Hatfill asks. The trimester you get jabbed in changes the effects, but they didn’t care.The culprits: Fauci, Peter Marks, Janet Woodcock, and editors of the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. A “handful of federal bureaucrats” who did the wrong thing. Greed, conflicts of interest, and Big Pharma’s billions twisted science. Faulty papers claimed hydroxychloroquine didn’t work—it did. The CDC pushed vaccines on pregnant women. Fauci’s still writing papers in 2025 claiming the vaccines were “safe and wonderful.” Hatfill wouldn’t touch it. Are they protected by the PREP Act? Some might be, but Hatfill hints at autopen-signed pardons and a million dead Americans(I reckon its way more!). “How much was due to incompetence? How much was due to greed?”Hatfill’s disillusionment hits hard. “I always thought being a doctor was the best thing I could be,” he says. “You follow the rules, you’ve got ethics, and it can be bought.” He’s scarred, watching the medical establishment sell out. We’re all reeling from the betrayal.This is a wake-up call. The mRNA vaccines are dangerous. Cancer, infertility, organ damage, and a corrupt medical system. The evidence is growing, and the truth won’t stay buried. Share this everywhere. Demand answers. The Medical Mafia’s days are numbered. Stay angry, stay informed, and let’s fight back together.Thanks to Dana Parish for the interview! The full video is avalable here!

Harvard Hammered: Feds Yank An Additional $450 Million In Grants

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – 09:20 PM

Harvard University is facing another crushing financial blow – this time losing an additional $450 million in federal grants – as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on elite schools it accuses of fostering anti-Semitism and political bias, which for some reason seems like the only topic to which the 1st Amendment does not apply.

The decision, announced Monday by the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, brings the total value of frozen and canceled grants and contracts to a staggering $2.65 billion. The task force, established in February under a Trump executive order, blasted Harvard for repeatedly failing “to confront the pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment plaguing its campus.”

“Jewish students were subjected to pervasive insults, physical assault, and intimidation, with no meaningful response from Harvard’s leadership,” the task force said in a statement released via the Department of Education.

One particularly explosive allegation involves a protester charged with assaulting a Jewish student who was later awarded a $65,000 fellowship by the Harvard Law Review – a decision reportedly approved by faculty. The task force cited the incident as evidence of the “radical” direction of the Ivy League institution.

“Harvard’s campus, once a symbol of academic prestige, has become a breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination,” the statement said. “By prioritizing appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school’s claim to taxpayer support.”

The move follows a fiery exchange of letters between Harvard President Alan M. Garber and Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon.

In a May 5 letter, McMahon accused Harvard of violating federal law through systemic bias, a politicized admissions process, and “ugly racism” within its academic bodies, including the Harvard Law Review. She slammed the university’s leadership, accusing board chair and former Obama commerce secretary Penny Pritzker of “running the institution in a totally chaotic way.”

McMahon made clear that the government was done cutting checks.

“Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided,” she wrote.

The bombshell comes on the heels of an earlier freeze of $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts in April. The May 13 announcement adds another $450 million in terminations, as multiple federal agencies pull support.

‘Harvard Will Not Surrender’

Garber fired back in a May 12 response, calling the actions political retaliation and accusing the administration of trying to strong-arm a private institution.

“Harvard will not surrender its core, legally-protected principles out of fear of unfounded retaliation by the federal government,” he wrote, denying charges of bias and defending the university’s admissions and hiring as merit-based.

Garber also rejected suggestions that Harvard students — including its international population — pose a greater risk of violence or misconduct.

The university, he said, has “commenced initiatives” to increase intellectual diversity and fight all forms of bigotry, including anti-Semitism.

But the Education Department isn’t buying it. In its letter, it cited multiple disturbing allegations — including claims that Harvard Law Review editors discriminated based on race and prioritized submissions based on contributors’ skin color.

Federal authorities opened a formal investigation into the student-run journal on April 28.

Harvard’s financial headaches appear to be mounting. In a bid to shore up its resources amid the federal crackdown, the university sold $450 million in bonds in March and another $750 million in April.

The Department of Education and affiliated agencies show no signs of backing off.

“At its best, a university should fulfill the highest ideals of our Nation,” McMahon wrote. “But Harvard has betrayed this ideal.”

The New York Post has reached out to Harvard for comment.

White House: Qatar Deals To Generate $1.2 Trillion In ‘Economic Exchange’ – But Wait

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 01:05 PM

Update(1305ET): President Trump has taken US-Qatar relations to ‘another level’ by signing a series of deals which boost defense and trade ties. Arms and jets continue to be a focus of Qatar talks, especially Trump’s signing a $200 billion deal for an unprecedented order of a whopping 160 American-produced commercial jets.

“So it’s over $200 billion but 160 in terms of the Jets, that’s fantastic,” Trump said of the deal involving Qatar Airways reaching an agreement with Boeing and GE Aerospace to acquire Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft powered by GE Aerospace engines. Boeing’s stock rose 1.7% Wednesday immediately after the headlines hit.

Of course defense and arms continue to be a big theme, coming off Trump’s Saudi leg of the trip. “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also signed agreements regarding defense, including a statement of intent on defense cooperation between the State of Qatar and the United States,” reports CNN. “Hegseth also signed offer and acceptance letters for MQ 9B aircrafts and FS-LIDS. Trump signed a joint declaration of cooperation between the State of Qatar and the United States of America.” As we said before, this remains the bread and butter of historic US-Gulf relations.

Among the deals include Qatar acquiring “counter-drone” capabilities from US defense company Raytheon, valued at $1billion, as well as MQ-9B drones from General Atomics, an agreement valued at $2 billion.

We should note that there seems to be some exaggerated numbers being casually tossed about amid the array of headlines coming out of Doha, given especially Qatar’s GDP is just over $200 billion… and yet the T-word keeps being used, interestingly enough:

In a statement, the White House has said the agreements signed today between Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani will “generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion”.

The statement pointed to $243.5 in economic deals, which includes Qatar Airways buying Boeing planes, weapons acquisitions, and deals related to natural gas and quantum technologies.

It also said the US and Qatar had signed a statement of intent outlining over $38bn in potential investments including support for burden-sharing at Al Udeid Air Base, as well as future defense capabilities related to air defense and maritime security.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has also sounded a tone of skepticism amid the avalanche of breathless “trillion dollar” headlines from the Gulf tour:

At crude near $60 a barrel Saudi Arabia faces fiscal trouble and belt-tightening austerity. At $50 or lower it faces a slow-motion crisis and ultimately an existential threat to its economic model. That fate is no longer a remote tail-risk.

Donald Trump cares little for such hard economic constraints as he visits Saudi Arabia. The petrostates of the Gulf represent a vast pot of money in his pre-modern mind.

He aims to scoop up $1 trillion dollars (£760bn) of Saudi wealth, even more than the $600bn already promised over four years by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He wants another trillion and a half from the rest of the Gulf.

Good luck with that.

Saudi Arabia’s GDP is barely more than $1 trillion, smaller than the economy of the Netherlands. Saudi per capita income is on a par with Portugal. Trump will have to make do with blockbuster headlines and hope that nobody audits the details.

The International Monetary Fund estimates that Saudi Arabia’s “fiscal break-even cost” is $96 a barrel. That is the Brent price required to fund the kingdom’s cradle-to-grave welfare system and to keep the lid on political dissent.

Meanwhile, also of note is that on Wednesday Qatar’s central bank governor, Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saoud Al Thani, met with billionaire Elon Musk on the sidelines of Trump’s visit.

“We’ve always liked each other,” said Trump of Qatar’s head of state.

And for injecting a little geopolitical realism on Qatar as a regional hub of US dirty wars…

Student Loan Delinquencies Surge, Hammer Credit Scores – Southern States Hit Hardest

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – 06:50 PM

The party is over for millions of Americans who paused payments on their federal student loans over the last several years through pandemic-era forbearance programs. Many had hoped for sweeping loan forgiveness under the Biden-Harris administration, But with the federal government officially resuming collections on defaulted loans this month—for the first time in over five years—borrowers now face sliding credit scores as delinquencies soar, while in April we warned the restart could drain as much as $63 billion from the economy. 

On Tuesday, the Center for Microeconomic Data at the New York Fed released its Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, updated through the first quarter of 2025.

Within the report is a snapshot of consumer credit profiles, including the sharp rise in delinquent student loan debt that’s now piling up.

Starting with a 10,000-foot view; in the first quarter of 2025 the aggregate U.S. delinquency rate climbed to 4.3% of outstanding debt in some stage of delinquency – up from 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Total aggregate household debt increased by $167 billion in the quarter, up .9% from 4Q24, while overall, America’s consumer debt balance now stands at a whopping $18.20 trillion – an increase of more than $4 trillion since 4Q19. 

Narrowing it down, while early-stage delinquency rates remained stable across most debt categories, student loans bucked the trend, posting a sharp increase as the federal government resumed credit reporting on missed payments for the first time in nearly five years.

“Transition into early delinquency held steady for nearly all debt types; the exception was for student loans, which saw a large uptick in the rate at which balances went from current to delinquent due to the resumption of reporting of delinquent student loans on credit reports after a nearly 5-year pause due to the pandemic,” the quarterly report said. 

The shift comes amid the expiration of pandemic-era forbearance, exposing millions of borrowers to renewed repayment obligations. 

Last month, Education Secretary Linda McMahon told President Trump at a Cabinet meeting: 

“We’re going to start getting it back,” adding “For those people who have borrowed money and have not been paying — that’s just not to be punitive, there are many ways that they can go online to understand how they can get back into the right payment structure. Because when they’re in default, they can’t buy a house, they can’t buy a car, their credit scores go down.”

Also reported last month (full note available to premium subs), student-loan delinquencies have increased since the pandemic-era forbearance on repayment ended in September 2023. The Biden administration allowed a year for payments to fully ramp back up, which temporarily suppressed delinquency rates. Now, though, missed payments are crossing the 90-day threshold and showing up on borrowers’ credit reports.

Transition rates into serious delinquency (90+ days past due) held steady for auto loans and credit cards, but rose for mortgages, HELOCs, and, notably, student loans, reflecting growing financial strain among consumers.

Bloomberg noted: 

Transitioning into serious delinquency (90-plus days late) for student loans rose to tie a 10-year-old record for those age 50 and older. Among that cohort, 11.23%, or around one in nine households, is now seriously delinquent on their student loan debt. Americans age 50 and older held $418.5 billion in student loan debt, split among 9.2 million borrowers. The ratios of serious delinquency for younger age groups was lower but still rose sharply. The average age of a delinquent borrower ticked up to 40.4.

The Fed’s data shows that the credit hit is substantial for newly delinquent student loan borrowers. Among the 7.5% who had a relatively high credit score of at least 720 before the delinquency, their scores dropped by 177 points on average. Overall, the Fed found that 2.2 million borrowers saw their credit scores drop by at least 100 points.

Data from Bloomberg shows the student debt bubble stood at a record high of $1.63 trillion. 

New York Fed economists via Liberty Street Economics published a note with more color about the student loan turmoil unfolding, indicating “more than twenty million federal borrowers were not in repayment and five million federal borrowers had a zero dollar monthly payment,” adding, “Among borrowers who were required to make payments, nearly one in four student loan borrowers (23.7 percent) were behind on their student loans in the first quarter of 2025.” 

The economists noted that seven states have a conditional borrower delinquency rate over 30%: Mississippi (44.6%), Alabama (34.1%), West Virginia (34.0%), Kentucky (33.6%), Oklahoma (33.6%), Arkansas (33.5%), and Louisiana (31.8%). These states are located in the heartland and are primarily Trump states. 

The economists offered their take on the grave situation:

After a five-year hiatus, student loan delinquency has returned to the pre-pandemic “normal” with more than 10 percent of balances and roughly six million borrowers either past due or in default. The ramifications of student loan delinquency are severe.

The U.S. Department of Education, in concert with the U.S. Treasury, began collection efforts for defaulted loans in May, which includes the garnishment of wages, tax returns, and Social Security payments.

Additionally, millions of borrowers face steep declines in their credit standing which will increase borrowing costs or seriously limit their access to credit like mortgages and auto loans. It is unclear whether these penalties will spill over into payment difficulties in other credit products, but we will continue to monitor this space in the coming months.

Millennials and GenX feeling the brunt of student debt woes. 

Credit score downgrades begin… 

More:

What’s critical to understand is that delinquent student loan debt continues to pile up quickly, increasingly hitting borrowers’ credit reports. This growing wave of defaults could trigger a domino effect on consumer spending, potentially dragging down GDP by as much as $63 billion—a risk we warned about in our note titled The Next Economic Shock: Student Loan Default Wave = $63 Billion GDP Hit …

Florida Troopers Now Federally Credentialed To Arrest Illegal Immigrants On Their Own

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 06:30 AM

Authored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Florida officials announced that 1,800 state Highway Patrol troopers are the first in the nation to receive federal credentials under an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agreement allowing them to arrest illegal immigrants on their own.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press conference on May 12 that the state’s ongoing partnership with ICE included what is known as 287(g) agreements, where state and local law enforcement partner with ICE to help arrest and deport illegal immigrants.

The Florida Highway Patrol entered into a 287(g) task force model that gives them the power to arrest foreign nationals who are in the country illegally and place detainers on them during routine policing, such as traffic stops.

In essence, it allows local law enforcement to operate as an extension of ICE under federal supervision.

DeSantis encouraged other states to support President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants, noting the success of Operation Tidal Wave. The recent joint federal-state operation arrested more than 1,100 illegal immigrants.

Some of those arrested included members of gangs such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, both designated as terrorist organizations by the Trump administration.

Additionally, DeSantis said Florida also swore in 100 troopers as special deputy U.S. marshals, which will allow them to execute federal search warrants and remove dangerous illegal immigrants.

Dave Kerner, director of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said during the press conference that the Florida troopers are the first fully credentialed law enforcement to be fully operational under the 287(g) task force model.

“What that means is, if you see a state trooper, he or she has federal authorities to detain, investigate, apprehend, and deport,” Kerner said. “We have troopers in all 67 counties of this great state that have that authority.”

Kerner told The Epoch Times that troopers serving as U.S. marshals will be able to go into homes to serve warrants, which isn’t part of the 287(g) agreements.

He said that the programs offer flexibility to state and local jurisdictions, allowing them to determine their level of involvement once they sign up for the agreements.

“It is, by and large, a voluntary effort,” he said. “You can decide how much you want to participate.”

DeSantis added that there’s a plan on the table that, if approved by the federal government, would allow military judge advocates to act as immigration judges and provide makeshift detention space and transportation for illegal immigrants.

The governor noted that the state’s experience with disaster response, such as during hurricanes, helped the state come up with the plan. He said there are 70,000 to 80,000 illegal immigrants in the state, with final deportation orders issued by a judge.

Getting rid of criminal illegal immigrants helps cut down on crime and save lives, DeSantis said.

“You’re really making a difference in your community,” he said.

Some 11 million illegal immigrants were apprehended at U.S. borders over the past four years, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

Trump campaigned on border security and illegal immigrant deportations. Upon returning to the White House, he has moved to keep that promise through a whole-of-government approach that has included designating several Mexican cartels and other transnational criminal groups as terrorist organizations. As a result, some members of the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangs have been deported to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT.

As of May 8, ICE statistics show there are 531 agreements with state and local agencies throughout the country. Another 105 applications are pending.

Although dozens of states have agreements under the 287(g) program, Florida is the first to have its law enforcement officers credentialed.

Law enforcement nationwide has been encouraged to sign up for 287(g) agreements by the Trump administration because there are not enough federal officers to find and process millions of illegal immigrants.

Besides the task force model, the federal government created the jail enforcement model and the warrant service officer model.

The jail enforcement model allows local officers to identify and process removable noncitizens already booked into local jails. The warrant service officer model allows officers to serve and execute administrative warrants on illegal immigrants already in custody.

Florida had 266 agreements that included all 67 sheriff’s offices in the state, according to the Florida Sheriffs Association. Texas had the second-highest number of agreements at 77.

SWAMP STORIES FOR YOU TONIGHT

Federal Grand Jury Indicts Wisconsin Judge Accused Of Helping Illegal Immigrant Evade

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – 08:55 PM

Authored by T.J.Muscaro via The Epoch Times,

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 13, after being arrested and accused of helping an illegal immigrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last month.

Her indictment comes after she was arrested by the FBI on April 25 and subsequently suspended from her duties as a judge by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The grand jury reviewed the charges brought forth in a complaint, as a check on the prosecutor’s power, and determined that enough probable cause existed to continue the case.

Dugan faces one count of “obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency,” and another of “concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.”

Her next court appearance was previously scheduled for May 15, and she could face more disciplinary actions against her license to practice law.

According to her defense attorneys, she maintains her innocence and expects to be vindicated in court.

She was assigned to preside over a hearing for Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national who was charged with domestic violence, on April 18. Flores-Ruiz had previously been deported in 2013, and there was no evidence that he reentered the country legally.

The FBI agents and deportation officers planned to arrest Flores-Ruiz after the hearing.

However, according to the affidavit, witnesses said Dugan appeared “visibly upset and had a confrontational, angry demeanor,” upon learning of the arrest party’s arrival.

They alleged that Dugan “escorted” Flores Ruiz and his lawyer “out of the courtroom through the ‘jury door,’ which leads to a nonpublic area of the courthouse,” after she “ordered” the team of FBI and deportation officials to go to the chief judge’s office. 

The jury door is normally used by defendants only if they are in the custody of deputies.

Another officer, according to the affidavit, noticed Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer on an elevator and alerted the arrest team.

Flores-Ruiz was apprehended after a foot chase outside the courthouse.

FBI director Kash Patel said investigators believe Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents” away from Flores-Ruiz, as officers were preparing to arrest him in the courthouse where the judge works.

Trump To Scrutinize Pardons Biden Issued Before Leaving Office

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 – 08:40 AM

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,

President Donald Trump’s newly tabbed pardon attorney said on May 13 that his work will include scrutinizing pardons that former President Joe Biden issued just before leaving office in January.

“I do think that the Biden pardons need some scrutiny. And they need scrutiny because we want pardons to matter and to be accepted and to be something that’s used correctly,” Ed Martin, the pardon attorney, told reporters during a press briefing in Washington.

“So I do think we’re going to take a hard look at how they went and what they did and if they’re, I don’t know, but null and void, I’m not sure how that operates,” he added.

Biden’s pardons, issued in his final hours in office, went to multiple individuals, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

The pardons were for conduct for which the individuals had not been charged.

Biden said at the time that the people “do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.”

Trump said in March that the pardons were “hereby declared void” because, he alleged, they were done with an autopen, or a device that lets people sign documents with preloaded signatures.

Martin said on Tuesday that the pardons were not particularly reasonable but that he did not necessarily think the use of an autopen would nullify them.

Martin is stepping down as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia on Wednesday. Trump on May 8 named Martin pardon attorney and director of the Department of Justice’s weaponization working group after some senators publicly opposed Martin’s nomination to take the U.S. attorney post permanently.

Asked later on Tuesday about the resignation of Denise Cheung, who had been chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia’s Criminal Division, Martin said that he had asked Cheung to look into what he described as unprecedented conduct, or $6.7 billion transferred from the government to a nonprofit that was created just six months prior.

That kind of conduct “does make you pause,” Martin said. “That’s what you’re supposed to do, is pause, just like if the Biden pardons are unprecedented in their extent. Right back to when Hunter Biden was whatever age you say, ’that’s uncommon, we ought to take a look at that.’”

Biden also pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, 55.

Martin also said that the weaponization working group has been looking at various actions taken during the Biden administration, including the prosecution of people who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. He said that under him, the group will be giving more updates on its work and is exploring the launch of a portal that will enable people to provide them tips.

GREG HUNTER INTERVIEWING DANE WIGINGTON

40 to 60 Million Tons of Poison a Year Sprayed in our Skies – Dane Wigington

By Greg Hunter On May 13, 2025 In Political AnalysisNo Comments

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Renowned climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington is finally waking up the public to the profound damage being done to them while collapsing the environment.  Florida’s Governor DeSantis has signed a law making geoengineering (aka chemtrails) illegal in his state.  New HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy Jr. has recently admitted geoengineering is real and DARPA, a secretive government agency, is doing it.  Dark government forces are spraying toxic chemicals such as aluminum, radioactive coal ash, mercury, graphene, polymer fibers and nano particles.  All are deadly poison over the skies in America.  Many in the Trump Administration know this destructive policy is going on but are doing nothing to stop it.  Wigington says, “The bees are dying of symptoms resembling Alzheimer’s and dementia because they are packed full of aluminum.  They can’t even find their way back to the hive.  It’s happening to us, all of us, as well.  It’s not normal or natural to assume you are going to get Alzheimer’s or dementia when you get up in your years.  We are being trained, taught and programmed to think this is normal.  It’s not normal. . . . This whole MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement, I want people to stop and consider that MAHA anything means absolutely nothing, zero, if we don’t stop the contaminants raining down from our skies.  40 to 60 million tons annually are contaminating everything.  Focusing on food dyes while this is going on is absolutely ludicrous.  That’s way worse than polishing the rails on the Titanic as it sinks.  How is this not a real right now fight-for-life?”

The weird weather you are seeing with high winds, hail and wild temperature swings are not normal and do not come from nature.  Much of it is caused by geoengineering.  Wigington says, “They are all using terms like ‘weather whiplash’ all the time as if this is normal.  They use the term ‘Mother Nature’ to try to associate those two, and they have nothing to do with each other.  These radical swings in weather are absolutely engineered. . . . We have record high temperatures.  We just had that happen in Minnesota and Montana.  One location in Montana has a record high and broke the record by 14 degrees.  That’s almost 40 degrees above normal.   Then, it snows two days later.  Seriously?  People think that is normal or natural?”

In closing, Wigington warns, “I don’t see us making it to the end of this year without seeing major links to the chain breaking.  Those in power will be trying to feed normalcy bias in any and every way they can.  It will be mass distraction with societal division with outrageous social issues always being pushed into the media.  It will be mass distraction while all hell is breaking loose all over the world.”
