This is getting serious. Gold is at $4,370. It could hit $4,400 tonight. That's a 10% move in just over a week. Something big is about to happen.

This has shaken me to my core.

I can't believe this would have happened here in Asheville NC.

I knew things were bad, but even still… I had hope that things weren't as bad as they seemed.

I was wrong. I was so wrong.

Here is a query submitted to Grok on October 16, 2025:

Based on the price of silver since August 1, 2025, the number of outstanding paper short contracts and a physical shortage of silver, project the price of silver at the end of the year.

Partial answer:

To arrive at the projection, I used a linear regression model on the daily closing prices from September 16 to October 16 (the most complete recent dataset, showing acceleration).

…

This linear model fits the recent upward trend (R² ~0.85, indicating strong correlation). However, considering the non-linear squeeze factors (e.g., potential short covering of ~364M oz equivalents, backwardation, and refinery bottlenecks), prices could accelerate exponentially if shortages worsen—similar to 2011’s surge. Conservative estimates from sources like Bank of America target $65, but sentiment suggests higher. Adjusting for volatility and historical squeezes (e.g., 1980/2011 peaks near $50), I project ~$75 by year-end, with risks skewed upward if COMEX/LBMA interconnections break further or industrial panic intensifies. This is not financial advice; markets are volatile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is silver a bargain or is it trying to catch a falling knife? I believe Trump is purposely destroying the value of the USD in order to reduce the national debt. Issuing a blockchain stablecoin system will be the next step but the average worker who broke their back trying to achieve the American dream will see their savings evaporate.

There are 173 million Troy Ounces of physical #Silver at the COMEX registered vault (Silver that’s issued a warrant ready for delivery).

It should be open season on evil in this country. Instead it seems people have already swept the murder of Charlie Kirk under the rug and continued to carry on with their everyday lives.

Things cannot continue to go the way they have been going for much longer, or can they? It seems people are willing to accept the evil in this world as long as it doesn’t affect their little slice of the world. Charlie’s death while horrific, only momentarily brought people together. People were angry, but decided it still wasn’t time to fight back against evil.

It doesn’t seem that the vast majority on our side realize that these people hate us. They hate our morals. They hate our work ethic. They hate our intelligence. They hate our guns. They hate our Children. They hate our Wives. They hate our families. They hate our friends. They hate our God. They hate that we won’t bend the knee and live in their delusional world. They hate everything about us. We cannot live together in this country.

What are we to do about a huge majority of the population in this country that wants people like me and you dead and gone?

It’s concerning to still see people on our side saying that violence isn’t necessary, and accusing people that are talking about a Revolution to eradicate evil, as being “Feds, Retards, or Bad Faith Actors.”

There are hundreds of millions of people, with violent intentions, that want to see people like You and I dead, simply because we won’t bend the knee and submit to the way of life that they want to enforce on everyone.

Thinking that we can vote our way out of this, or still have political discourse is just pure insanity at this point. We are not going to win this battle against evil with words!  Charlie was killed because of words. Think about that.

Justice is not being carried out in this country. There is no law. There is no punishment. The evil in this country in emboldened because they know that they will not be held accountable for their actions. They will continue to hold firm in their insanity because nobody is taking the fight to them.

There are choices to be made. Both on the evil side and ours.

We must defend our families. We must defend our principles. We must defend all that is good in this world. Right now, we are continuing to do nothing.

How many more good people must die before we rise up and eradicate the evil we are faced with?

The enemies are here.

How much longer do you want to wait?

The Fight is Unavoidable. We owe Evil nothing: Not Respect, Not Decency, Not Mercy.

The decision is ours.

The U.S. has more rare earth minerals than any nation on Earth—an estimated $12 trillion worth.

But thanks to endless permits, lawsuits, and land bans, we depend on China and Russia for critical materials.

Friends, this month, October 2025, presents (IMHO) a RARE opportunity to purchase silver when it is "cheap" at around $50 / oz. It would already be in the $60s or higher, but silver refiners are so slammed with "alloyed silver" intake at this price that they have stopped making…
