					<description><![CDATA[The current financial landscape reveals a significant undervaluation of gold mining equities compared to tech stocks. With gold prices surging and mining companies achieving record profit margins, experts predict a massive shift in investment towards these undervalued assets, potentially leading to historic returns for investors.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Profit Machine: <br />The S&amp;P’s True Margin King</h2>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">Listen up, because the mainstream financial media is feeding you garbage while the smart money is orchestrating the trade of the century.</span></strong></p>
<p>We are standing at the epicenter of a historic valuation dislocation. While the herd is chasing tech stocks at nosebleed valuations, gold mining equities are trading at their cheapest levels in over 50 years!</p>
<p>Let that sink in. Gold has broken out into uncharted territory, yet the producers of the metal are priced as if we are in a multi-decade depression.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">This is the definition of a generational mispricing—and the spring is coiled so tight that when it snaps, the rerating will be violent, parabolic, and unforgiving to anyone left on the sidelines.</span></strong></p>
<p>Forget over-hyped software tickers burning cash to fake growth. Look at the raw, undeniable math:</p>
<p>·        <strong>Expanding Profit Margins:</strong> With gold surging and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) locked in between $1,300 and $1,400 an ounce, operating margins across premier producers have widened past 60%. </p>
<p>·        <strong>The Most Profitable Sector in the S&amp;P 500:</strong> Gold miners are generating wider operating margins and higher free cash flow yields than tech, energy, healthcare, or consumer staples.</p>
<p>·        <strong>Fortress Balance Sheets:</strong> For the first time in modern mining history, producers didn&#8217;t blow their capital on reckless mega-mergers. Instead, they built massive cash piles, paid off long-term debt, and are now sitting on fortress-like treasuries.</p>
<p><strong>These companies have transformed into literal free-cash-flow printing presses.</strong></p>
<p>They have zero solvency risk, record-high operating leverage, and are poised to flood shareholders with massive special dividends and historic share buyback programs.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3e9a00">The Macro Rocket Fuel: Yardeni Calls for $5,000 Gold!</span></strong></p>
<p>If you think this margin explosion is impressive at today’s prices, look at where legendary Wall Street macro strategist Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research sees this market heading.</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">Yardeni—one of the most respected, sober economists on Wall Street—has laid out a clear, aggressive roadmap projecting gold to hit $5,000 per ounce.</span></strong></p>
<p>At $5,000 gold, producer net profit margins don&#8217;t just double; they explode by 300% to 500% due to operational leverage.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Every single dollar increase in the spot price drops directly to the producer’s bottom line. When generalist institutional capital inevitably rotates out of overstretched equities into deep-value miners, the liquidity bottleneck will ignite a historic short squeeze.</span></strong></p>
<p>Take Action Before the Rotation!</p>
<p>The setup is complete: </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>50-year valuation discount against the physical metal.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Superior profit margins blowing the rest of the S&amp;P 500 out of the water.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Massive cash reserves providing ultimate downside protection.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A $5,000/oz macro backdrop backed by elite institutional strategists.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3e9a00">This window will not stay open. The gold stock super-cycle is here.</span></strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[Trump's recent mining roundtable signals a shift towards U.S. mineral independence, reducing reliance on China. With gold prices rising and mining stocks surging, the era of globalization appears to be over. Analysts predict significant growth in gold mining profitability as the U.S. re-engages in domestic mining efforts.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>He Wants That Gold…</h2>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">You should have seen it… Or maybe you have… Trump conducted the mining roundtable and one of the participants gifted the president with gold.</span></strong></p>
<p>Trump nearly drooled over it!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Hosted by the State Department, the United States of America is going back to mining its own minerals and securing its sovereignty and its supply chains and cutting its reliance on China to the bare minimum.</span></strong></p>
<p>If you think that the dollar can maintain global reserve currency status, when the world&#8217;s two major powers are vying for the lead, each with its own way of viewing life, then you&#8217;re really living under a rock.</p>
<p><strong>Trump is upping the defense budget to $1.5tn and China is not slowing down either.</strong></p>
<p>India is emerging, Europe is dying and, even though no one in the corrupt media is covering the Russia-Ukraine war, it is now on the scale and brutality of WW2.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3e9206">Putin is targeting cities and civilians and even though it is 100% accurate that had Bush, Obama and Biden not paint Russia into a corner, Putin would not have considered taking Ukraine by force, it is also 100% true that the world is turning a blind eye to Russia&#8217;s insane war crimes, setting Odessa and other cities aflame and ablaze.</span></strong></p>
<p>This is all to say that globalization is so OVER and any baggage concepts you might still carry from that period are irrelevant.</p>
<p>Wars can erupt in so many different regions and force will be used.</p>
<p>Borders will be redrawn and weak populations that allow immigrants in, will be vanished.</p>
<p>History is back!</p>

<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">The globalist experiment is over and whoever doesn&#8217;t own gold and gold stocks will not be properly hedged for the risks involved in the era we have entered.</span></strong></p>
<p>Hedge funds are indicating that gold is forming a bottom or has already sealed one and I think that it won&#8217;t be long, until gold becomes much more mainstream that any other point in the past 100 years, as the idea of holding U.S. dollars, as a form of savings, suddenly seems risky.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>China’s central bank officially added +20 tonnes of gold in July, its largest monthly purchase since October 2023.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Gold just scored its biggest weekly gain since January.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Gold is now up more than +10% in over the last month.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Gold mining stocks jumped 20% in one of their best weeks ever</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://mcusercontent.com/18a68f31fc23a087b7c63f15d/images/fc6026a1-81fd-2c54-c188-e158beb611ea.jpg" width="612" height="765"><br />Courtesy: WhiteHouse.Gov</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">From a technical analysis perspective, Bollinger Bands are now the tightest since August 2025, right before Gold soared 60% in a 150-day rally!</span></strong></p>
<p>If that repeats itself, by the end of 2026, gold will hit a new all-time high!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Gold miners have never been more profitable, on earnings per share basis. In fact, it is now the most profitable sector in the entire S&amp;P 500.</span></strong></p>
<p>How long before hedge funds, now realizing that the United States of America is back in the business of mining, that there are very few operational mines in North America and that mining stocks are super-profitable, send this sector to heights, never seen before?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3e9206">I am SO BULLISH and high interest rates aren&#8217;t stopping this rally!</span></strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[The U.S. is shifting its mining industry focus, with gold set to soar as the People’s Bank of China aggressively accumulates gold. This shift, alongside historic low gold-to-S&#038;P 500 ratios and plummeting rate hike probabilities, signals a potential explosive breakout for gold prices in the near future.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Trump Holds Gold in his hand</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://mcusercontent.com/18a68f31fc23a087b7c63f15d/images/4e7b62f8-2685-8936-8527-93524c046f02.jpg" width="357" height="500"></p>
<p>Courtesy: wvnews.com</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">If you haven&#8217;t seen President Trump receiving gold last week, as a gift from mining executives, when announcing that the U.S. must become the mineral superpower, you missed the firing shot of the Wall Street bull market in commodities!</span></strong></p>
<p>Throughout the past 33 years, the U.S. has been engaged in systemic liquidation of its mining interests, deeming the resources it relies on, as a dirty industry, which can be outsourced.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Last week, the Trump administration placed this industry at the top position in the hierarchy, literally saying that miners built the nation.</span></strong></p>
<p>Throughout my adult life, I have been told by American president that miners are greedy and irresponsible and ruin the environment – I just heard they are the true heroes of our civilization.</p>
<p><strong>This should make you as bullish as ever!</strong></p>
<p>We are witnessing the launchpad sequence for the most explosive gold breakout in monetary history, in my opinion. The price is headed to $10,000!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #41a300">Here are three undeniable catalysts driving this mega-rally right now.</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The PBOC Is Gobbling Up Gold at Record Cadence</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Eastern central banks are quietly cornering the physical gold market. Chief among them: the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://mcusercontent.com/18a68f31fc23a087b7c63f15d/images/f5bbef1a-3105-1c4c-e94d-93c17a3233e5.jpg" width="612" height="379"><strong><span style="background-color: yellow"><br /></span></strong>Courtesy: x.com/GoldSilverHQ</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">China isn&#8217;t just buying gold—they are systematically hoovering up tonnage from the global market at a breakneck pace. They are dumping U.S. Treasuries, de-dollarizing their sovereign balance sheet, and backing their financial architecture with hard bullion.</span></strong></p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t a speculative gamble; it is strategic sovereign preparation.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">The world is splitting into two. If you haven&#8217;t caught up to this, you&#8217;re falling so far behind that you&#8217;ll find it harder and harder to get up to speed.</span></strong></p>
<p>China wants everything the U.S. has, but on its own terms. Therefore, it must make its currency more robust.</p>
<p><strong>When the largest trading nation on Earth converts fiat reserves into vaulted gold every single month, it removes floating supply forever. The paper gold market can try to suppress spot prices all it wants, but physical delivery always wins. China knows it—and they are draining the vaults clean.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The Gold/S&amp;P 500 Ratio Is Sitting at Historic Lows</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Look past nominal prices for a second and examine the real valuation metric that wall street elites pray you ignore: the Gold to S&amp;P 500 Ratio.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://mcusercontent.com/18a68f31fc23a087b7c63f15d/images/cc4e113e-9963-eed8-f377-821e2cece535.jpg" width="612" height="368">Courtesy: x.com/GlobalMktObserv</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">Right now, gold relative to broad U.S. equities is hovering near generational, rock-bottom historical lows.</span></strong></p>
<p>History teaches us one mathematical certainty: financial ratios are hyper-reversion engines.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">When equity multiples trade at historic premiums while real money sits at generational discounts, a massive capital rotation is guaranteed. When institutional mega-funds attempt to shift even 1% of their bloated equity portfolios into a tiny, illiquid physical gold market, the resulting repricing upwards won&#8217;t be linear—it will be vertical.</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Rate Hike Probabilities Are Plummeting</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The Federal Reserve’s hawkish illusion is crumbling in real-time. </p>
<p><strong>Market probabilities for rate hikes have completely collapsed to near-zero as macroeconomic realities take hold.</strong></p>
<p>Position Before the Squeeze!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #41a300">I am and it is already working out HUGE!</span></strong></p>

<p>China wants everything the U.S. has, but on its own terms. Therefore, it must make its currency more robust.</p>
<p><strong>When the largest trading nation on Earth converts fiat reserves into vaulted gold every single month, it removes floating supply forever. The paper gold market can try to suppress spot prices all it wants, but physical delivery always wins. China knows it—and they are draining the vaults clean.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The Gold/S&amp;P 500 Ratio Is Sitting at Historic Lows</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Look past nominal prices for a second and examine the real valuation metric that wall street elites pray you ignore: the Gold to S&amp;P 500 Ratio.</p>

<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">Right now, gold relative to broad U.S. equities is hovering near generational, rock-bottom historical lows.</span></strong></p>
<p>History teaches us one mathematical certainty: financial ratios are hyper-reversion engines.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">When equity multiples trade at historic premiums while real money sits at generational discounts, a massive capital rotation is guaranteed. When institutional mega-funds attempt to shift even 1% of their bloated equity portfolios into a tiny, illiquid physical gold market, the resulting repricing upwards won&#8217;t be linear—it will be vertical.</span></strong></p>

<p>Rate Hike Probabilities Are Plummeting</p>

</ul>
<p>The Federal Reserve’s hawkish illusion is crumbling in real-time. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[The U.S. is poised for a mining boom, with significant investments announced to restore its status as a minerals superpower. Key policy changes aim to expedite mining permits and bolster domestic production, promising a new bull market in mining stocks amidst declining interest rates. Researching mining stocks is now crucial.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Both Silver and Gold Make Breakouts</h2>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">President Trump spoke at a Department of State roundtable announcing major new U.S. mining investments, framing them as restoring America as a “minerals superpower” and achieving economic independence after decades of decline.</span></strong></p>
<p>That should be all you need to know in order to understand what&#8217;s already started in the gold sector, after this massive consolidation we have been seeing since January 28th!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Look at the leveraged gold miners index in the past few weeks!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://mcusercontent.com/18a68f31fc23a087b7c63f15d/images/93535bf7-4523-35cc-496d-455e6b0cdc8b.png" width="612" height="379"></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">I love this index, because I can be very aggressive, when I believe in the thesis and I have.</span></strong></p>
<p>What Trump did on Friday was to take this bull market to WALL STREET!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Trump, in a mining roundtable at the State Department, explained that past policies caused the closing of more than 3,400 mines and outsourcing jobs and praised his administration’s record: </span></strong></p>
<p>1.     Over 160 mineral deals worth nearly $40 billion in 18 months, the fastest pace of new mine openings since the 1950s. </p>
<p>2.     The first American rare-earth mine in more than 70 years. </p>
<p>3.     The first new aluminum smelter since 1980 (in Oklahoma), authorization of deep-sea mining, rebuilding of the National Defense Stockpile, and more than $12 billion for a strategic mineral reserve.</p>
<p><strong>Key policy changes include cutting federal mining permit times from three-to-five years down to as little as 25 days</strong>.</p>
<p>Trump has been using tariffs on foreign copper, aluminum, and steel to revive sovereignty and regain national security.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #469a0d">Under the “great big beautiful bill,” $100 billion was secured for critical mineral investments; the government is also making direct equity stakes (examples cited include a $400 million stake in MP Materials that rose in value and a similar arrangement involving Intel).</span></strong></p>
<p>A centerpiece announcement was $100 million for U.S. mining schools and training programs—far exceeding the $10 million annual request—plus $81 million in grants to institutions such as the Colorado School of Mines, South Dakota School of Mines, and a Johns Hopkins partnership!</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">I can say without a doubt that two days ago a NEW BULL MARKET has begun in mining stocks!</span></strong></p>
<p>BILLIONS are coming into the sector!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">This is happening, at the same time, as interest rate hike probabilities are plummeting.</span></strong></p>
<p>Specific project funding totaling about $3 billion was detailed, including loans and financing for a next-generation battery facility, a major Arizona copper project, graphite and boron facilities, scandium production, rare-earth magnets, and related defense/aerospace manufacturing.</p>
<p><strong>Cabinet secretaries (Marco Rubio, Doug Burgum, Howard Lutnick) and industry/education leaders reinforced the message: critical minerals are a national-security issue; the United States must mine, process, refine, and manufacture domestically; foreign subsidies and restrictions had distorted markets; and workforce development plus permitting reform are essential.</strong></p>
<p>Trump closed by stressing that supporting mining benefits the country, not just the industry, and that America is “making mining great again.”</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #469a0d">Any one that isn’t conducting research on mining stocks right now is living UNDER A ROCK!</span></strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[The ongoing border crisis in Ceuta highlights Spain's complex geopolitical situation. With nearly 60,000 migrants crossing from Morocco, tensions rise amid claims of sovereignty. The current leadership's policies are under scrutiny as many citizens question their commitment to national principles and the future of Spain's borders.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>No Pain No Gain</h2>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">Ceuta is a Spanish city located on the North African coast. Its strategic position at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea made it a historical prize.</span></strong></p>
<p>Phoenicians, Romans, and Visigoths ruled it sequentially. In 711 AD, the Umayyad Caliphate seized control, integrating it into the Islamic world.</p>
<p>Portugal conquered the city in 1415 during the Age of Discovery. In 1580, Spain and Portugal united under a single crown. When the union dissolved in 1640, Ceuta’s residents chose to remain loyal to Spain. The 1668 Treaty of Lisbon officially recognized Spanish sovereignty over the enclave.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">Today, Ceuta is an Autonomous City of Spain and an integral part of the European Union. Morocco claims sovereignty over Ceuta, viewing it as occupied territory. This ongoing dispute creates regular diplomatic friction. Because Ceuta represents a land border between Africa and the EU, it is a major flashpoint.</span></strong></p>
<p>An unprecedented border crisis is overwhelming Ceuta, when nearly 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco over a few days.</p>
<p>Pedro Sánchez is a radical opportunist that is justifying his dictator-like policies with fantasies of globalization and human rights.</p>
<p><strong>In order to completely change the demographics of Spain and maintain power, his progressive social engineering, pro-immigration policies, high-spending economic agenda, and a wave of close-circle corruption scandals, are wiping out Spain&#8217;s sovereignty over its borders.</strong></p>
<p>This same person, the leader of a NATO member, did not allow the U.S. to use Spanish airspace to prosecute the war that the United States and the Gulf countries and Israel are waging against Iran&#8217;s regime.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #49ae06">In other words, this leader is both defying the laws of his own nation, the laws of the European Union and the laws of NATO. Why, then, is he still in power?</span></strong></p>
<p>Why aren&#8217;t the people of Spain rising up and demanding that a leader that respects their basic rules, govern? Why is a radical reformist able to revolutionize their way of life with such relative ease? It is the same thing we saw under Biden&#8217;s open border era and countless other examples in the west…</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">The answer is that the people of Spain, on aggregate, and those of many other western nations, are TIRED of greatness and have stopped caring about their collective principles and ideals that led to their riches.</span></strong></p>
<p>This laziness nearly resulted in the election of Kamala Harris to President of the United States of America, which would have led to WW3.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">If you truly, in your soul, agree with this assessment, then you must, by default, agree that President Trump saved the world from entering into a global disaster with tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of dead soldiers and civilians.</span></strong></p>
<p>This renewed faith in the greatness of America, in the way of life that has been the most successful civil and cultural system to ever exist, has not been factored into markets.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #49ae06">In other words, the TRUE VALUE of restoring the American way of life, piece by piece, day by day, as voters rejected suicide by progressive globalist dictatorship, with a puppet at the helm (Kamala or whomever), has not been priced into the markets, in my view, but if the midterms are won by the MAGA movement, which is, in essence, the movement to preserve the greatness of the union and to expand it, then markets will finally SOAR to new heights that currently only look unimaginable.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">The Midterms are the most important risk-on or risk-off event EVER.</span></strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[Gold has experienced dramatic fluctuations in price since 2020, reaching an all-time high of $5,589.38/oz in January 2026. Factors influencing these changes include interest rate hikes and geopolitical tensions. As the U.S. stabilizes, investors are expected to return to gold, anticipating future price increases.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What Happened in 2026 So Far</h2>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">Gold has had an insane time this decade.</span></strong></p>
<p>Six years ago, in January 2020, gold&#8217;s price was $1,500/ounce.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef;">During the Covid-19 March Panic, the price was fell to $1,418 on March 18</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef;">th</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef;">, only to surge to a record high of $2,075/oz in August 2020, breaching the seemingly impossible $2,000/ounce benchmark, which many thought would never be done.</span></strong></p>
<p>In August 2020, just as gold hits this incredible new milestone, interest rates bottom. When I say that they bottom, I mean that they have gone near those levels again and who knows if they ever will.</p>
<p><strong>On August 4</strong><strong>th</strong><strong> 2020, lenders were willing to receive 0.52% from the Treasury, for funds lent for 10 years!</strong></p>
<p>Today, lenders are asking for 4.74%, as I write this.</p>
<p>The difference is huge, because if a lender gave the Treasury department $1,000,000 in August 2020, he signed a loan that provided him with $5,200/year in interest income.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #43a403;">Today, if I lend the government $110,000, I would receive that same amount, so whoever held his bond from August 2020 to present, has lost 89% in less than SEVEN YEARS!</span></strong></p>
<p>While interest rates have soared since August 2020, the price of gold had not collapsed whatsoever.</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">After hitting $2,075 in August 2020, here are the important milestones ever since:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Major Historical Highs</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>August 2020 (Pandemic Peak): $2,075/oz.</li>
<li>March 2022 (Ukraine Invasion): $2,070/oz.</li>
<li>March 2023 (Banking Crisis): ~$2,000/oz.</li>
<li>September 2024 (The Breakout): $2,685/oz. Fueled by aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and surging Chinese retail demand.</li>
<li>December 2025 (The Surge): $4,549/oz.</li>
<li>January 28, 2026 (All-Time Record): $5,589.38/oz. A dramatic blow-off top marked gold&#8217;s absolute historic peak, breaking inflation-adjusted records.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><strong>Major Troughs &amp; Corrections</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>October 2022 (The 2020s Cyclical Floor): ~$1,627/oz. Aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve pushed real yields higher, dragging gold down 22% from its pandemic highs.</li>
<li>Mid-2023 (Consolidation Zone): ~$1,900 &#8211; $2,000/oz.</li>
<li>January 30, 2026 (The Crash): ~$5,040/oz. Immediately after hitting its all-time high, gold suffered a brutal 9.8% one-day drop—its worst single-day loss since 2013.</li>
<li>Current Correction (Mid-2026): ~$4,040/oz. Prices have pulled back roughly 20% to 27% from the January peak, stabilizing as long-term bond yields hover around 4.74%.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef;">Why has gold prices gone from $5,589 to below $4,000 in 2026?</span></strong></p>
<p>The true answer is because the United States of America is coming back.</p>
<p><strong>In a crucial Midterms year, with the fate of the nation on the balance, President Trump chose to do what&#8217;s RIGHT for the country and for the world, not what might lure voters to get Republicans elected.</strong></p>
<p>This REDUCED the risk of WW3 drastically, because America&#8217;s resolve and deterrence is back, after Obama&#8217;s and Biden&#8217;s disgraced years and Bush&#8217;s imperialism, as well as Clinton&#8217;s euphoric naivety.</p>
<p><strong>Investors have now recalibrated the risk of America&#8217;s decline, but they now face reality about it as well. Doing the right thing and stopping WW3 isn&#8217;t popular. The war has not been able to unite the country, nor to rally the isolationists that don&#8217;t understand why a nuclear bomb in the hands of apocalyptic theocrats could wipe billions of people from the face of the Earth, themselves included.</strong></p>
<p>I believe investors will now begin to buy gold again, knowing that this is not the 1980&#8217;s and 1990&#8217;s, all over again and that the dollar cannot continue to lead the world as its sole reserve currency.</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">Gold  is going to $10,000 and above in the years ahead and it is clear as day.</span></strong></p>

<p>New filings for unemployment benefits dropped to 187,000 for the week ending July 18 — a nearly 57-year low, and a much bigger drop than economists expected.</p>
<p>Wall Street spend time debating whether this is &#8220;good&#8221; or &#8220;bad&#8221; news for the Fed. I think both sides are missing the real story.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">This isn&#8217;t a cyclical blip. It&#8217;s demographics finally showing up in the data.</span></strong></p>
<p>Birth rates across the developed world — the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, South Korea — have been falling for decades, and the workforce math is now catching up.</p>
<p><strong>Fewer young workers are entering the labor force every year than are retiring out of it. That&#8217;s not a recession signal. It&#8217;s a structural worker shortage, and jobless claims sitting near six-decade lows is exactly what you&#8217;d expect that shortage to look like on paper: a &#8220;low-hire, low-fire&#8221; economy where employers are desperate to hold onto the workers they already have.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the part that should get your attention: a labor shortage this deep can&#8217;t be solved the old-fashioned way. You can&#8217;t out-immigrate your way out of a birth-rate collapse fast enough, and you can&#8217;t train workers who don&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #47a408">The only lever left is productivity — which means robotics, automation, and AI aren&#8217;t optional anymore. They&#8217;re the only way to keep the economy growing when the number of available humans is shrinking.</span></strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why capital is pouring into automation and physical AI at a pace we haven&#8217;t seen before — this is the innovation cycle the demographic math is forcing into existence.</p>
<p><strong><span style="background-color: yellow">But here&#8217;s where it gets interesting for your portfolio: major innovation cycles have never been cheap, and they&#8217;ve never been non-inflationary.</span></strong></p>
<p>Every prior boom — the 1970s energy and productivity shock and others — was accompanied by a hard-asset repricing, because building new infrastructure and new machines at scale means real demand for real materials, at the exact moment monetary policy is loose enough to fund the buildout.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3f75ef">The 1970s saw gold go from $35 to over $800 in a decade. That wasn&#8217;t a coincidence. It was the cost of financing a transition.</span></strong></p>
<p>Now look at what central banks are already doing. Globally, they have spent the last several years adding to gold reserves at a pace not seen in decades, diversifying away from a dollar-denominated reserve system.</p>
<p><strong>Many of them no longer view it as the only game in town.</strong></p>
<p>Put it all together: a demographic worker shortage forcing an automation super-cycle, financed the way all previous ones were — through real assets — while the institutions with the longest time horizon on Earth are already buying gold hand over fist. That&#8217;s not a coincidence. That&#8217;s the setup.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #47a408">The jobs data isn&#8217;t telling you the labor market is fine. It&#8217;s telling you  the next decade is going to look nothing like the last one.</span></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article was originally published by <a href="https://mises.org/mises-wire/skeptical-guide-ubi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conner McEleney at The Mises Institute. </a></em></p>
<p>Many progressives, such as Robert Reich and Kyle Kulinski, argue that the economy needs a universal basic income (UBI) to fix it. Their argument stems from the idea that UBI has no serious flaws, that many studies show success, and that it’s the moral thing to do.</p>
<p>An example that these progressives would <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/64f507a995b636019ef8853a/t/6671a15eec7a812dee108e7c/1718722914185/FINAL_DBIP+Year+One+Quantitative+Research+Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cite</a> would be the Denver UBI experiment. The study had three groups of people. Group A had $1,000 per month, and Group B had $6,500 for the first month; the other months were $500. Group C had $50 a month. The study concluded that giving money improved their overall well-being.</p>
<p>As the saying goes, it’s too good to be true; the results alone are exaggerated by UBI proponents. The actual results show that in Group A, which received a total of $12,000 in a year, 44 percent of them are housed. Meanwhile, Group C received $600 in the year, and 43 percent were housed. Even though Group A has 20 times the value of Group C, both had similar results.</p>
<p>Ironically, the study was not universal because it denied participants who were “having severe and unaddressed mental health or substance use issues.” As a result, the findings are cherry-picked because they removed people who could make the results look bad.</p>
<p>Even if the study were accurate, the results would be different if applied by the government. One of the biggest potential differences we would see from UBI on a more permanent basis is what Milton Friedman called the permanent income hypothesis. The hypothesis <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/permanent-income-hypothesis.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> that “consumers base their spending decisions on their average long-term income rather than their current income.”</p>
<p>An example would be a person receiving a gift of a few hundred dollars from a birthday party. That person would go on to save it or splurge it on an expensive product. However, this money would not change their spending habits for an average week because they knew the birthday money was temporary compared to a raise in a job.</p>
<p>Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that people would act differently if UBI were permanent compared to case studies in which it was temporary. In the case studies, all participants knew the money was temporary. As a result, they will try to ration the money differently because of a different mindset.</p>
<p>Another problem with UBI as a government program would be funding. The funding for the case study was not from tax dollars; it came from private donations. Based on the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cooperation-Coercion-Busybodies-Busybullies-Economics/dp/161017156X" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Cooperation and Coercion: How Busybodies Became Busybullies and What that Means for Economics and Politics</em></a> by Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan, people respond to actions differently if the ideas came from cooperation or coercion. In the case studies, the people who funded the operations did so because they were happy to cooperate.</p>
<p>However, if UBI becomes a government program, it would be through taxation. Taxes are not cooperative actions, but rather they are coercive actions. As a result, taxes would change the economic activity of the area more than the case studies would ever do.</p>
<p>After all, people do leave areas because of taxes. An example would be Illinois. An article from the Illinois Policy Institute using IRS data <a href="https://www.illinoispolicy.org/highest-earning-illinoisans-fleeing-state-at-fastest-rate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that “nearly 56,000 people and over $6 billion in income left in 2023.” Besides moving, economists Christina and David Romer published a study in the American Economic Association, <a href="https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.100.3.763" target="_blank" rel="noopener">finding</a> that a $1 tax on GDP has caused a $3 decrease in GDP. Not only that, a working paper in the CBO <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/ftpdocs/75xx/doc7503/2006-09.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that labor bears 70 percent of the corporate tax burden.</p>
<p>Taxes to fund UBI would <a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/poverty-and-opportunity/commentary-universal-basic-income-may-sound-attractive-but-if-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">require</a> a massive tax increase as a government program. According to the founder of CBPP, Robert Greenstein, it would cost $3 trillion a year, assuming it goes to 300 million people and provides $10,000. Greenstein put into context the tax dollars needed to fund this program: “The figure equals more than three-fourths of the entire yearly federal budget — and double the entire budget outside Social Security, Medicare, defense, and interest payments. It’s also equal to close to 100 percent of all tax revenue the federal government collects.”</p>
<p>Even though proponents of UBI will try to argue that it will help people by giving them free money. However, as Milton Friedman once <a href="https://www.azquotes.com/quote/103098" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”</p>

<h2>The Genetic Kill Switch Introduction</h2>
<p>We are living through the final act of a planned global genocide. According to my research findings, Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci are not adversaries &#8212; they are tag-team partners in a depopulation agenda that uses a binary weapon to trigger a genetic meltdown of the human race. (I&#8217;ll explain more below&#8230;)</p>
<p>The first component of this weapon is the spike protein contamination from mRNA injections, which Fauci orchestrated through gain-of-function bioweapons research at the Wuhan lab and laundered into so-called vaccines via Operation Warp Speed (pushed by Trump).</p>
<p>The second component is nuclear war, which Trump is likely to invoke to &#8220;finish the job&#8221; in Iran. The fallout of radioisotopes causes double-strand DNA breaks in human cells, and the spike protein has already suppressed DNA repair by 85–90%. Together, they form a kill switch that will melt down the genetic integrity of billions of humans and end humanity as we know it.</p>
<p>Here is how this unspeakable plan was set in motion, why the government lies about radiation risks, and what you can do to survive.</p>
<h2>The Spike Protein Bio-Weapon: Fauci’s Contribution to Mass Genetic Contamination</h2>
<p>Let’s trace the chain of command. Fauci, through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology via Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance. Newly released documents show Fauci actively protected Daszak from federal scrutiny while suppressing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab leak <sup>[1]</sup>. The result was a gain-of-function spike protein toxin.</p>
<p>As I have previously reported, the spike protein’s modified cleavage site was engineered into the mRNA, and that same synthetic spike is now being produced inside billions of human bodies via the so-called vaccines <sup>[2]</sup>.</p>
<p>The genetic damage from these mRNA injections is catastrophic. A ground-breaking Swedish-Chinese study showed that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein impairs DNA damage repair and inhibits the BRCA1 and 53BP1 pathways <sup>[3]</sup>. In plain English, this means the spike protein suppresses the cell’s ability to fix broken DNA by 85 to 90 percent.</p>
<p>The result is turbo cancers, immune failure, and accelerated aging. On top of that, the mRNA shots are contaminated with bacterial DNA plasmids that can integrate into the human genome and trigger cancer <sup>[4]</sup><sup>[5]</sup>. This is not a vaccine, in other words &#8212; it&#8217;s a genetic bioweapon designed to contaminate the entire population and prepare every injected person for the nuclear &#8220;genetic meltdown&#8221; kill switch.</p>
<h2>Trump’s Complicity: From Operation Warp Speed to Nuclear War</h2>
<p>Trump cannot pretend to be innocent. He authorized emergency use of the mRNA injections, bragged about Operation Warp Speed, and repeatedly protected Fauci from prosecution. Emails have now revealed that Fauci and then-NIH director Francis Collins agreed to suppress the lab-leak theory for political reasons, and Trump’s administration did nothing to stop it <sup>[6]</sup>. In fact, Trump’s own FDA commissioner, Marty Makary, recently stated that Fauci was “100% involved” in a “massive” COVID origins cover-up <sup>[7]</sup>. Yet Trump never held Fauci accountable. Why?</p>
<p>Because they are co-conspirators. They answer to the same boss.</p>
<p>Now Trump is set to launch nuclear weapons in his desperate escalation of war with Iran or Russia. As of early 2026, Trump has escalated rhetoric against Russia, shortening a “50-day” warning to “10 to 12 days” and threatening strikes deep into Russian territory. This is a deliberate provocation designed to trigger a nuclear response that could kill up to 200 million Americans from the initial strikes alone.</p>
<p>The radiation from those bombs will circulate globally and cause double-strand DNA breaks, but the spike protein has already disabled the body’s repair machinery in billions of people. That means billions of human beings will die from genetic damage that could have otherwise been self-repaired if not for the presence of the spike protein, an engineered toxic and part of a binary weapon system targeting human genetic integrity.</p>
<h2>The Government’s Radiation Lies: Why You Cannot Trust the ICRP Model</h2>
<p>After a nuclear detonation, the government will parrot the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) model to claim that low-dose radiation is safe. Do not believe a word of it. The ICRP model deliberately ignores the effects of internal alpha emitters like plutonium and uranium. When you inhale a single hot particle, that particle lodges in your lung tissue and delivers a concentrated dose of radiation to a tiny cluster of cells, causing catastrophic DNA damage that the spike-suppressed repair system cannot fix. The same government that locked you inside during COVID will now tell you to go outside and breathe the poisoned air. Do not obey, or you will likely die.</p>
<p>The truth is that the ICRP model was designed by the nuclear industry to minimize liability, not to protect human health. As I have documented in my reporting, the establishment has lied about radiation risks for decades <sup>[8]</sup><sup>[9]</sup>. They know that alpha emitters inside the body are far more dangerous than external gamma exposure, but they hide this fact to greenlight nuclear war while pushing expensive pharma treatments. The endgame is to finish what the mRNA jabs started: complete genetic destruction of the human race.</p>
<h2>Defending Yourself: Knowledge, Clean Living, and Natural Remedies</h2>
<p>Survival requires action. You must detox the spike protein from your body using nutritional therapies and proper detox protocols. You must support DNA repair with nutrients that enhance homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining, including zinc, magnesium, resveratrol, and turmeric. I have discussed these protocols at length in my special reports on reversing mRNA damage <sup>[10]</sup>. Equally critical: eliminate toxic personal care products, stop consuming processed foods laced with MSG and glyphosate, and switch to clean, organic whole foods.</p>
<p>My upcoming free genetic survival course will detail specific foods, molecules, and practices to repair double-strand breaks, mismatched base pairs, and other genetic lesions. Clean blood, clean (fertility) eggs, and clean sperm will be the new gold in a world filled with DNA mutations and widespread infertility. Those who are informed and prepared will be the remnant that rebuilds humanity. The time to start preparing for genetic survival is now &#8212; before the bombs fall and the radiation clouds spread.</p>
<h2>Conclusion: The Remnant Will Survive</h2>
<p>Fauci and Trump are, in my opinion, agents of a satanic death cult intent on the genetic destruction of humanity. Fauci unleashed the spike protein bioweapon; Trump enabled it and is now provoking nuclear war to finish the job.</p>
<p>But we can stop them by refusing to comply and by arming ourselves with knowledge. Genetic integrity will become the most valuable asset on a ruined planet. Stay tuned to my work for the free survival course that will teach you how to protect yourself and your family. The human race can survive this if we reject the lies and stand for truth, health, and freedom. I will not stop exposing these criminals until the final whistle is blown.</p>
<p>Prepare your body, your mind, and your soul. The remnant will prevail.</p>
