A collapse of confidence in the USD EUR should achieve that in short order
One clarification that @KingKong9888 and I want to get out there
Hong Kong’s tokenized gold initiative is not a done deal. Even if the technology works, commercial success depends on attracting active liquidity.
Any new trading platform, whether an electronic exchange or a tokenized gold product, needs market makers willing to quote prices, commit capital and take the other side of transactions.
The banks participating in HKPMCC’s OTC gold clearing system are a core source of that liquidity. EnsembleTX is a separate tokenization and settlement initiative. Successful pilot transactions establish that the machinery works. Building a deep, continuously quoted market requires much more.
The central challenge is persuading those banks to put meaningful liquidity behind tokenized gold.
They need a commercial reason to participate. Faster settlement has value, but so do their existing customer relationships, trading margins and control of order flow. Their willingness to test new technology does not guarantee that they will move substantial business onto it.
For the foreseeable future, the sensible expectation is that conventional OTC clearing and tokenized transactions develop in parallel. Over time, tokenized gold could capture a growing share of business, become integrated into the existing market infrastructure, or fail to attract enough activity to scale.
The trading-floor analogy applies: a new electronic venue can work perfectly while the meaningful bids, offers and risk-taking remain on the floor.
Without sustained liquidity provision, a technically successful product can still fail commercially. The market makers have to show up with bids, offers and balance sheets.
Refineries are being taken out globally, why? If you destroy the customers for crude oil, you reduce demand, lower the price helping the West, AND you hurt Russia's revenue streams. 🧵
🚨🚨🚨 TEN OIL REFINERIES HAVE BLOWN UP IN 21 DAYS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨
Since April 3rd, ten oil refineries, power plants, and energy facilities across seven countries have been destroyed by "fires," "explosions," and "accidents."
Let that sink in.
💀 Russia — THREE facilities destroyed in 21 days
💀 India — THREE facilities destroyed in 21 days
💀 Australia — 10 percent of national fuel production GONE in one night
💀 Mexico, Romania, Texas — ALL lost a major energy site in the same 21-day window
💀 Every single one is being reported as "unrelated"
⚠️ The Viva Energy refinery in Geelong, Australia produces 120,000 barrels per day. One fire took that offline for months.
⚠️ Russian refineries have been hit by drones for 18 months — the West cheered. The same signature is now hitting refineries on four continents.
Do you understand the scale of what's happening?
⚠️ There are roughly 600 operational refineries on Earth. Losing 10 of them in 3 weeks is not statistical noise. That is a campaign.
⚠️ Global refining has ZERO spare capacity. Every facility is running at max because post-COVID demand never softened. One lost refinery = real shortages within 60 days.
⚠️ In 2019, a SINGLE attack on Saudi Abqaiq knocked out 5.7 million barrels per day and sent oil up 15 percent in one session. We are watching that same dynamic, distributed across the planet.
They're showing you "isolated accidents."
They're NOT showing you that the exact same signature — unannounced, unclaimed, blamed on "a faulty valve" — is hitting different countries on different continents in the same 21-day window.
Here's the logic — follow it carefully:
→ Refineries on four continents burn in 3 weeks
→ Zero suspects named
→ Zero coordinated response
→ Zero insurance classified as terrorism
→ Every single one gets the same word: "accident"
If these were truly accidents, why is every major insurance carrier quietly rewriting refinery attack exclusion clauses RIGHT NOW?
Complete silence.
This is no longer an energy story. This is a civilization-level infrastructure war hiding behind the word "accident."
this was just part one.. follow me because part two is going to be the one everyone shares. 🚨
The EU need those $78t of Russian natural resources. If they don't get them they are finished anyway. They cannot repay the loans to Ukraine that they guaranteed, so peace would be terminal. 🧵
A reminder as to what happens if a Sovereign defaults on its debt. So much for Pari passu clauses.
2001年阿根廷政府宣布千亿美元国债违约,随后霸道地通知全球债主:以前借的钱只肯按三折兑付,爱要不要。
全球九成以上的银行和散户只能捏着鼻子认栽,唯独华尔街埃利奥特基金创始人、亿万富豪保罗·辛格坚决不签城下之盟。
为了把本金和利息一分不少全讨回来,这位老头组建了一支跨国律师与侦探大军,在全世界围堵查封阿根廷政府的海外资产,逼得当时的阿根廷总统出国访问都不敢坐自己的总统专机,生怕飞机一落地就被辛格的律师申请法院扣走抵债。
最震撼的一幕发生在 2012 年 10 月:当阿根廷海军的骄傲、载有三百多名官兵的“自由号”大型军舰停靠在非洲加纳港口补给时,辛格的律师团直接带着当地高等法院的查封令冲上码头,当场把这一整艘主权国家的海军军舰给扣押锁死在港里整整两个多月!
在被辛格跨国追杀了整整 15 年、连外贸融资都被卡死后,新上台的阿根廷政府终于在 2016 年彻底服软,乖乖掏出了 24 亿美元现金(净赚近四倍) 把辛格这位瘟神送走了。
And the pollution from that processing?
Pentagon Eyes Unprecedented 75-Year Deal to End China's Rare Earth Stranglehold
The U.S. Army wants first dibs on American-produced heavy rare earths, and REalloys has just signed a landmark nonbinding term sheet that could put it at the top of the military's supply chain list.
And the terms are extraordinary. The term sheet proposes a potential 75-year operating lease on approximately 200 acres at Tooele Army Depot in Utah, where REalloys would build and operate a facility processing dysprosium and terbium, two metals China has spent decades monopolizing. (Oilprice)
Seems they the B61-11 nuke would not be capable of destroying the Pickaxe Mountain fissile material storage. Why take the risk of similar retaliation when the results (like so many times before) are likely to disappoint. Delivery is by B2 bombers. Will itveven get to the target?
Le site nucléaire de Pickaxe Mountain est enfoui à 140m.
Pour détruire ou sérieusement endommager les principaux halls souterrains, le scénario qui revient le plus souvent dans les analyses repose sur l’utilisation de bombes nucléaires B61-11 larguées par des bombardiers B-2. Une telle opération comporterait évidemment des risques majeurs d’escalade et de retombées radioactives notamment sur la population civile, pas qu'en Iran mais dans le Golfe de Bassorah. Ne parlons même pas du coup politique pour les États-Unis, l'utilisation de bombe nucléaire est très tabou.
Les options conventionnelles, y compris les bombes anti-bunker MOP les plus puissantes, sont considérées comme insuffisantes pour atteindre des installations situées à une telle profondeur. Reste une inconnue majeure, la géologie du site et la localisation exacte des installations souterraines.
L'autre option consisterait à lancer une opération terrestre afin de détruire directement le site, mais une telle intervention ferait courir des risques de pertes humaines particulièrement élevés.
Extinguishing the world through nuclear war should do it. After all how many more years to live has Trump got?
" في الحقيقه من يعرف شخصية ترامب يجد انه مهووس بتحقيق إنجاز لم يسبق لرئيس امريكي ان فعله
.
.
حتى إن سفير الولايات المتحده بتركيا توم باراك قال
حرفيا هذا
ترامب اصلا غني، ولا يحتاج لمصلحة تجاريه
هو يريد تحقيق ما لم يتمكن من تحقيقه 45 رئيسا أمريكيا بالفعل
.
"وحتى ترامب مؤخرا اصبح يائسا من نتيجة الانتخابات وأصبح يردد (لا يهمني ذلك)
.
نحن امام ترامب الذي ليس لديه ما يخسره بعد الانتخابات والذي يرى ان ايران تسببت بنتيجتها
-وامام ترامب الذي يتلقى دعما واسعا من نتنياهو لاعادة الحرب
-وهذا يعني ان جميع المؤشرات تدل ان الحرب ستندلع فعليا في حال فشل المفاوضات
-ولنفرض ان الحرب اندلعت
-فهل يمكن للولايات المتحدة ان تحقق نتيجه تذكر من خلال القصف الجوي
-القصف الجوي يستحيل ان يغير نظام ايران... والعمليات البريه لاحتلال دوله مثل ايران تحتاج ملايين الجنود الامريكيين
-الولايات المتحده عاجزه فعليا عن تدمير برنامج ايران النووي
لانه بحسب الادعاءات الامريكيه
فاليورانيوم الإيراني المخصب واجهزة الطرد المركزي تقع داخل جبل الفأس
المنشآت الايرانيه المحصنه في هذا الجبل تقع على عمق 100 متر بحسب التقارير الامريكيه
اي انت امام مبنى بعمق 30 طابقا... فوقه صخور شديدة الصلابه
حتى اقوى قنابل الولايات المتحده التقليدية GBU-57
المصممه للاختراق
لا تستطيع اختراق بضعة امتار من الجبل
وحتى ام القنابل التي تهدد بها الولايات المتحده ايران
لن تستطيع ان تتجاوز بضعة امتار وهي غير مصممه اصلا للاختراق
-طيب ماذا عن السلاح النووي..!
-اقوى قنابل الولايات المتحدة المخصصه للاختراق B61-11
حتى هذه قد تخترق بضعة امتار
صحيح ان الصدمه النوويه ستهز الصخور في الجبل
لكن حتى هذه لا يوجد ضمانات 100%انها ستصل للعمق وتدمر الانفاق
.
اضف لهذا نحن نتحدث عن قنبله تعادل هيروشيما 27 ضعفا
يعني ان الإشعاع النووي حتما سيتسرب للمحيط وقد تتاثر عدة محافظات ايرانيه بالاشعاع النووي
وهناك احتمال ايضا ان يتسرب الإشعاع النووي مع الرياح للدول المجاوره
هذا غير ان استخدام الولايات المتحده لقنبله كهذه يعني كسر الحظر المفروض على استخدام الاسلحه النوويه
.
اي ان الدول التي تخشى استخدام السلاح النووي بسبب العقوبات والعزله الدوليه لن تكون مقيده بهذه القيود
واقصد بذلك روسيا التي تخشى استخدام النووي التكتيكي لارغام اوكرانيا على الاستسلام
.
"شخصيا ارى ان الولايات المتحده لو اعادت الحرب فستكون بخطه مختلفه عن الحرب السابقه نعم
.
لكن لا يعني ذلك استخدام النووي
لانه لو نظرنا الى ادعاءات كارلسون يجب ان ناخذ في الاعتبار
انه نشرها قبل يوم واحد من الانتخابات....ما يعني انه قد يكون هدف ادعاءاته التاثير على نتيجة الانتخابات
.
"لذا انا شخصيا لا آخذ هذه الادعاءات على مجمل الجد"
All this is assuming things continue as they are. They won't! The goal is to destroy the USD/EUR financial system. Thankfully made considerably easier by borrowing money for whatever pet project hits the top of the list. Stop the borrowing. Collapse the system!
Les globalistes contrôlent encore le game. Mais plus pour longtemps.
Faisons l'inventaire. Voici les endroits où ils tiennent encore les manettes :
→ La Commission européenne : 27 commissaires que personne n'a élus directement, et environ 32 000 agents
→ Le Parlement européen et sa majorité centrale PPE, S&D et Renew
→ La BCE
→ La CJUE
→ La CEDH et le Conseil de l'Europe
→ L'ONU et toutes ses agences
→ L'OMS
→ Le FMI
→ La Banque mondiale
→ L'OCDE
→ L'OMC
→ La Cour pénale internationale
→ Les COP et la CCNUCC
→ L'UNESCO
→ Le Forum de Davos
→ Le réseau d'ONG et de fondations qui finance tout cet écosystème
Sur le papier, c'est impressionnant. Maintenant, regardez la carte.
Les pays déjà repris :
🇺🇸 États-Unis : Trump
🇦🇷 Argentine : Milei
🇸🇻 Salvador : Bukele
🇨🇴 Colombie : Abelardo de la Espriella, élu en juin
🇨🇱 Chili : Kast, au pouvoir depuis mars
🇵🇪 Pérou : Keiko Fujimori, élue en juin
🇪🇨 Équateur : Noboa
🇧🇴 Bolivie : Rodrigo Paz, après presque 20 ans de MAS
🇭🇳 Honduras : Asfura
🇵🇾 Paraguay : Peña
🇮🇹 Italie : Meloni
🇨🇿 Tchéquie : Babiš
🇸🇰 Slovaquie : Fico
🇵🇱 Pologne : Nawrocki à la présidence
Les pays en train de basculer :
🇫🇷 France : le RN est entre 31 et 37 % au premier tour dans les sondages. Marine Le Pen est officiellement en campagne depuis le congrès d'Orléans.
🇩🇪 Allemagne : l'AfD a fait 43,8 % en Saxe-Anhalt en septembre, contre 17,2 % pour la CDU. C'est du jamais vu.
Soyons lucides, ils gagnent encore des batailles. Orbán est tombé en Hongrie en avril. Lula a repris le Brésil il y a une semaine. Le système sait se défendre. Mais il faut regarder la tendance de fond, pas le dernier match.
Il y a trois choses à comprendre.
Un : les peuples ne sont plus avec eux. Partout où l'élection se joue sur l'immigration, la sécurité et le coût de la vie, ils perdent du terrain. En Saxe-Anhalt, presque un électeur sur deux a voté AfD. En France, plus d'un tiers des électeurs sont prêts à voter RN dès le premier tour. Ce ne sont plus des marges, ce sont des majorités en formation.
Deux : ils sont très peu nombreux. Toutes les institutions de l'UE réunies, c'est environ 60 000 agents. Le système ONU compte un peu plus de 110 000 personnes. Ajoutez le FMI, la Banque mondiale, l'OCDE, l'OMC et Davos, et vous arrivez à environ 200 000 personnes. Face à 450 millions d'Européens, ça fait 0,04 %. Une minuscule couche administrative qui prétend gouverner des continents entiers.
Trois : tout va tomber, un par un. Pas d'un coup, mais pays par pays, élection par élection. La France vote en 2027. L'Allemagne bascule Land par Land. Quand Paris et Berlin basculeront, Bruxelles n'aura plus de base, parce qu'une Commission ne survit pas sans les gouvernements qui la nomment.
Ils contrôlent encore le game. Mais c'est nous qui le votons.
Having got their enemy on the ropes why in God's name would Putin let Trump play saviour by brokering a gas deal that feeds income to his battlefield adversary and then locks up his own income in an escrow account? Ridiculous. More Trump ramblings!
➡️ A US push to return Russian piped gas to Europe seems unlikely to succeed, but there are some interesting points in the WSJ's story.
✳️ Flows would start this winter, before a broader deal is reached, not after, as we assumed previously.
✳️ Gas would be sold through a US intermediary to get around the letter of European sanctions.
✳️ Russian revenues would be put into an escrow account in a 3rd-party jurisdiction until a full deal is reached.
✳️ Meanwhile, Ukraine would earn transit fees, and Europe would get much-needed additional gas supply at a time when gas prices are 12x higher than in the US.
➡️ A key question - which "3rd-party jurisdiction" would Russia trust to hold billions of dollars of gas revenues and be reliably out of reach of lawsuits in Europe? China, perhaps?
➡️ There are many reasons why this idea probably won't come to fruition, but if it were to happen, the price of European gas (and Asian LNG) would come down sharply from its current $1,200/mcm level.
(Note that this proposal was initially reported last week by the WSJ, but this story claims it has gained new life after Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian refineries a few days ago)

With CTA longs all washed out, more bankster smashes will lower the price, but increase delivery risk. If that is what they do, they KNOW they are going to be cash settled under Force Majeure before delivery. No signs of short covering = cost reduction exercise.
Something remarkable is happening beneath the surface in silver.
CFTC data shows that speculative net long positioning in silver has collapsed to just 2.86% of total open interest, one of the lowest readings in the post-COVID period.
To understand how extreme this is, consider what that 2.86% actually means.
Hedge funds and other large speculators now hold just 3,321 more long contracts than short contracts, against a total open interest of 116,226 contracts.
In simple terms, speculative traders are barely net bullish on silver anymore.
This is a massive change in positioning. As recently as September, net speculative longs represented nearly 14% of open interest. That has now collapsed to less than 3%.
Nearly 80% of that net bullish exposure, measured relative to total open interest, has disappeared in less than two months.
Why does this matter?
Major bottoms often develop when speculative positioning becomes extremely depressed. By that stage, much of the crowded bullish trade has already been unwound, selling pressure from long liquidation may be approaching exhaustion, and the market becomes increasingly sensitive to renewed buying.
But there is an important distinction.
Extremely low speculative positioning does not automatically mean the bottom is in. Silver could still experience a final capitulation that pushes speculators into outright net short territory.
The combination of depressed speculative positioning, a major sentiment reset, and a final price washout could create one of the most attractive asymmetric opportunities in silver in years.
The speculative reset is already happening.
What remains is confirmation from price.
Yes the SVR informed the President in advance of Tusk's intended coup. He never left on his trip to Senegal.
Follow the thread. First of all we get pallets of bottles appearing in areas where someone wants a riot to kick off.🧵
France is getting its own pallets of bricks and bottles dropped off, George Floyd riot style—the same tactic we’ve seen from Antifa and paid Soros-backed groups in the USA. October 17th had been on the agenda for weeks and was hijacked from the French people to serve someone else’s agenda. It’s no longer about protesting the quality of education—so who is really behind these riots?
I refuse to believe that London will be spared when every country in Europe is erupting in riots. It is coming. Now you have time to prepare. Your neighbours won't. The police are steering well clear under the same stand own orders obviously.🧵
