investmentwatchblog--2020-05-20--15 years ago, Pentagon was told of viral vaccine that targets brains of religious ‘fundamentalists’

In his 2004 book , The God Gene : How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes , geneticist Dean Hamer proffered the hypothesis that a specific gene , vesicular monoamine transporter 2 ( VMAT2 ) , predisposes humans towards religious , spiritual or mystic experiences .
Dean Hamer , who will be 69 on May 19 , is a former independent researcher at the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) for 35 years , where he was the chief of Gene Structure and Regulation Section at the U.S. National Cancer Institute .
He retired from the NIH in 2011 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube that claims to have been taken at a presentation on April 13 , 2005 before the Department of Defense ( DOD ) by a scientist who submitted a proposal to the DOD to develop a virus vaccine , dubbed FunVax , which could “ cure ” religious fundamentalists like Islamic extremists by inhibiting their VMAT2 God gene .
Here is my transcript of what the DOD speaker said : “ On the left over here we have individuals who are religious fundamentalists , religious fanatics , and this is the expression of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the VMAT2 gene .
Over here we have individuals who were not particularly fundamentalist , not particularly religious , and you can see there ’ s a much reduced expression of this particular gene , the VMAT2 gene .
Another evidence that supports our hypothesis for the development of this approach… .
[ At this point , the speaker is interrupted by a man in the audience who mumbles something about Islamic extremists bombing in the market place . ]
So our hypothesis is that these are fanatical people , that they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that by vaccinating them against this , we ’ ll eliminate this behavior .
So we have some very , very remarkable data in this next slide .
Here we have two brain scans , their FMRIs [ functional magnetic resonance imaging ] .
These are two different individuals with two difference expressions of VMAT2 .
On top is the individuals who ’ s a religious fanatic , an individual that…has high levels of VMAT2 .
Now , this individual down here who had low levels of the VMAT2 gene , this individual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In each case , these [ two ] individuals were read a religious text .
[ Referring to the top brain scan of the religious fanatic . ]
This individual lit up , the right frontal gyrus as shown here , that ’ s the part of the brain that ’ s associated with theory of mind .
It ’ s the part of the brain that has to do with intents , beliefs and desires .
In marked contrast [ referring to the bottom scan of the non-religious person ] , here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not particularly self-described as religious , and when they ’ re read a religious text , what you see is that this part of the brain called the anterior cingular cortex lights up .
It ’ s the part of the brain that ’ s associated with disgust or displeasure on hearing something .
So the data I ’ m presenting here supports the concept that we ’ re proposing , and I think that we would not propose to do CT scans or FMRIs on individuals out in the hinterlands of Afghanistan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The virus would immunize against the VMAT2 gene , and that would have the effect which you see here , which is essentially to turn a fanatic into a normal person , and we think that would have major effects in the Middle East .
[ A man in the audience mumbles something about how this could be done . ]
So the present plan and the test [ s ] we ’ ve done so far have used respiratory viruses , such as flu or rhino viruses , and we believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposure of the largest part of the population .
Most of us , of course , have been exposed to those two viruses , and we ’ re quite confident that this will be a very successful approach .
[ Question from the audience : `` What ’ s the name of this appraoch ?
” ] So the name of this project is FunVax , which is the vaccine for religious fundamentalists .
The proposal has just been submitted , and I think that the data I have shown you today would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we think this has great promise .
Note that the FunVax video bears two stamps on the upper right : According to the DOD ’ s “ Navigating the Pentagon ” webpage : Accordingly , the stamp on the DOD FunVax video , “ Loc : Pent Rm BC232 , ” means Room 232 in the Basement of the Pentagon , on the C ring , near the second ( 2 ) corridor .
Unnervingly , the bespectacled FunVax speaker both resembles and sounds like Mr .
Vaccine himself , Bill Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a video of Bill Gates speaking at a TED conference in 2014 about a coming pandemic .
This is what Dan Haber of the God gene said about the possibility of FunVax ( 0:42 mark ] : “ So if indeed spirituality is a series of chemical reaction in the brain , and if it can be enhanced by certain types of drug , then naturally it follows that it can be inhibited as well because for every activator there must be an inhibitor .
And so I can easily imagine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right stimuli or the right drugs , and the right inhibitors might have some effect on a person ’ s spirituality at least in the short run .
Whether or not that would have a long-term effect or people would undergo homeostatis and alter is an open question .
We really don ’ t know the answer to that.
” Note that the other man in the above video is said to be scientist who gave the presentation before the DOD in 2005 .
If so , then the FunVax scientist is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that FunVax was field-tested in Iraq in 2009 and subsequently released in Iran , which led to the Iranian people ’ s ( unsuccessful ) protests against the theocratic regime in Tehran , as well as the Arab Spring populist movement that swept across the Middle East in the early 2010s .

So we have some very, very remarkable data in this next slide. Here we have two brain scans, their FMRIs [functional magnetic resonance imaging]. These are two different individuals with two difference expressions of VMAT2. On top is the individuals who’s a religious fanatic, an individual that…has high levels of VMAT2. Now, this individual down here who had low levels of the VMAT2 gene, this individual who self-describes as not particularly religious. In each case, these [two] individuals were read a religious text. [Referring to the top brain scan of the religious fanatic.] This individual lit up, the right frontal gyrus as shown here, that’s the part of the brain that’s associated with theory of mind. It’s the part of the brain that has to do with intents, beliefs and desires. In marked contrast [referring to the bottom scan of the non-religious person], here’s the individual who’s not particularly self-described as religious, and when they’re read a religious text, what you see is that this part of the brain called the anterior cingular cortex lights up. It’s the part of the brain that’s associated with disgust or displeasure on hearing something. [Inaudible question from the audience.] So the data I’m presenting here supports the concept that we’re proposing, and I think that we would not propose to do CT scans or FMRIs on individuals out in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. [Referring to the vaccine] The virus would immunize against the VMAT2 gene, and that would have the effect which you see here, which is essentially to turn a fanatic into a normal person, and we think that would have major effects in the Middle East.

The proposal has just been submitted, and I think that the data I have shown you today would support the development of this project, and we think this has great promise.
Note that the FunVax video bears two stamps on the upper right:
DOD ID: 159AZ2 Loc: Pent Rm BC232
According to the DOD’s “Navigating the Pentagon” webpage:
The Pentagon is a five-story building composed of five rings, A through E, built around a center courtyard…. Room numbers can be interpreted as follows: The first number or letter indicates the floor on which the room is located (B = Basement, M = Mezzanine, 1-5 = floors).
The next letter is the ring on which the room is located. The main rings of the building are designated A,B,C,D, and E.
The next digit(s) indicate the corridor on which the room is located. Corridors are designated 1-10.
The last two digits indicate the specific bay or room number assigned to an office. For example, Room BE834 means that the location is in the basement, on the E ring, near the eighth corridor, room 834.
Accordingly, the stamp on the DOD FunVax video, “Loc: Pent Rm BC232,” means Room 232 in the Basement of the Pentagon, on the C ring, near the second (2) corridor.

Unnervingly, the bespectacled FunVax speaker both resembles and sounds like Mr. Vaccine himself, Bill Gates. To compare their voices, here’s a video of Bill Gates speaking at a TED conference in 2014 about a coming pandemic.
This is what Dan Haber of the God gene said about the possibility of FunVax (0:42 mark]:
“So if indeed spirituality is a series of chemical reaction in the brain, and if it can be enhanced by certain types of drug, then naturally it follows that it can be inhibited as well because for every activator there must be an inhibitor. And so I can easily imagine that under the right circumstances, the right stimuli or the right drugs, and the right inhibitors might have some effect on a person’s spirituality at least in the short run. Whether or not that would have a long-term effect or people would undergo homeostatis and alter is an open question. We really don’t know the answer to that.”
Note that the other man in the above video is said to be scientist who gave the presentation before the DOD in 2005. If so, then the FunVax scientist is not Bill Gates.
The video below claims that FunVax was field-tested in Iraq in 2009 and subsequently released in Iran, which led to the Iranian people’s (unsuccessful) protests against the theocratic regime in Tehran, as well as the Arab Spring populist movement that swept across the Middle East in the early 2010s.
But according to Mick West of Metabunk.org, the DOD FunVax video is fake because:
There is no such room in the Pentago as BC232: “ There isn’t enough space in that part of the Pentagon for 32 rooms… let alone a conference room. www.hqda.army.mil/aoguide/pentagon_map.htm” (Note from Eowyn: The URL doesn’t work. I got the message: “This site can’t be reached. www.hqda.army.mil ’s server IP address could not be found.)
www.hqda.army.mil/aoguide/pentagon_map.htm” (Note from Eowyn: The URL doesn’t work. I got the message: “This site can’t be reached. ’s server IP address could not be found.) “The audio doesn’t match up and the brain scans are not of 2 different people. They are scans from a single 43 yr old meth addict” taken from a study on drug addiction in 2010: https://n.neurology.org/content/75/18_Supplement_1/S67. “ Exact same brain scans as the second one in the study.”
“The projectors in video is most likely Epson PowerLite 6110i with wire cover on the back, this model was released in 2008, but video claims to be filmed in 2005.”
“Also at 3:01 you may see focus breathing, which suggests that it was a contrast detect autofocus camera, this kind of tech wasn’t available in 2005, you often may see this kind of focusing issues on late 2000s dslrs (most likely it was filmed on 5d mark ii or something similar)”
If the FunVax video is real and assuming that the Pentagon approved the project, although the vaccine originally was intended for Islamic religious fanatics (“fundamentalists”), we must ask these questions:
Who decides what “religious fundamentalism” is and who “religious fundamentalists/fanatics” are? What’s to prevent the vaccine from being deployed against devout Christians?

investmentwatchblog--2020-05-20--The one thing we can be sure of is that the inflation numbers are wrong

Today ’ s has brought us inflation data with more and indeed much more than its fair share of issues .
But let me start by congratulating the BBC on this .
The UK ’ s inflation rate fell in April to its lowest since August 2016 as the economic fallout of the first month of the lockdown hit prices .
The Consumer Prices Index ( CPI ) fell to 0.8 % from 1.5 % in March , the Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) said .

They have used the CPI inflation measure rather than the already widely ignored CPIH which the propagandists at HM Treasury are pushing our official statisticians to use .
Although in something of an irony CPIH was lower this month !
Also it would be better to use the much more widely accepted RPI or Retail Prices Index and the BBC has at least noted it .
Yes it is pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case about the RPI now as supporters have thinned out a lot .
It also has strengths and just as an example does not require Imputed or fantasy Rents for the housing market as it uses actual prices for houses and mortgages .
So as an opener let us welcome the lower inflation numbers which were driven by this .
Added to the usual list of these was the fact that not only did the Office for National Statistics have to shift to online price collection for obvious reasons which introduces a downwards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me say thank you to Chris Jenkins for replying so promptly and confirming my calculations .
However the reality is that there is a problem and let me highlight with one example .
Yes you do read that correctly and more than one-third of the index was imputed .
In addition to this rather glaring problem there is the issue of the weighting being wrong and I am sure you are all already thinking about the things you have spent more on and others you have spent less on .
Officially according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not matter much .
Sadly I have learnt through experience that such research is usually driven by a desire to achieve the answer wanted rather than to illuminate things .
If we switch to the ordinary experience I was asked this earlier on social media .
I have just checked and they are not on the list .

Today’s has brought us inflation data with more and indeed much more than its fair share of issues. But let me start by congratulating the BBC on this.
The UK’s inflation rate fell in April to its lowest since August 2016 as the economic fallout of the first month of the lockdown hit prices. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) fell to 0.8% from 1.5% in March, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Falling petrol and diesel prices, plus lower energy bills, were the main drivers pushing inflation lower. But prices of games and toys rose, which the ONS said may have come as people occupied their time at home.
They have used the CPI inflation measure rather than the already widely ignored CPIH which the propagandists at HM Treasury are pushing our official statisticians to use. Although in something of an irony CPIH was lower this month! Also it would be better to use the much more widely accepted RPI or Retail Prices Index and the BBC has at least noted it.
Inflation as measured by the Retail Prices Index (RPI) – an older measure of inflation which the ONS says is inaccurate, but is widely used in bond markets and for other commercial contracts – dropped to 1.5% from 2.6%.
Yes it is pretty much only the establishment which makes that case about the RPI now as supporters have thinned out a lot. It also has strengths and just as an example does not require Imputed or fantasy Rents for the housing market as it uses actual prices for houses and mortgages.
So as an opener let us welcome the lower inflation numbers which were driven by this.
Petrol prices fell by 10.4 pence per litre between March and April 2020, to stand at 109.0 pence per litre, and
diesel prices fell by 7.8 pence per litre, to stand at 116.0 pence per litre……..which was the result of a 0.2% rise in
the price of electricity and a 3.5% reduction in the price of gas between March and April 2020, compared with price rises of 10.9% and 9.3% for electricity and gas over the same period last year.
Problems. Problems,Problems
Added to the usual list of these was the fact that not only did the Office for National Statistics have to shift to online price collection for obvious reasons which introduces a downwards bias there was also this.
Hi Shaun, the number of price quotes usually collected in store was about 64% of what was collected in February – so yes just over a third. This is for the local collection only.
Let me say thank you to Chris Jenkins for replying so promptly and confirming my calculations. However the reality is that there is a problem and let me highlight with one example.
prices for unavailable seasonal items such as international travel were imputed for April 2020. This imputation was calculated by applying the all-items annual growth rate to the index from April 2019.
Yes you do read that correctly and more than one-third of the index was imputed. In addition to this rather glaring problem there is the issue of the weighting being wrong and I am sure you are all already thinking about the things you have spent more on and others you have spent less on. Officially according to our Deputy National Statistician Jonathan Athow it does not matter much.
A second was to also account for lower consumption of petrol and diesel, which has been falling in price. Reducing the weight given to petrol and diesel gives a figure similar to the official CPI estimate.
Sadly I have learnt through experience that such research is usually driven by a desire to achieve the answer wanted rather than to illuminate things. If we switch to the ordinary experience I was asked this earlier on social media.
Are face masks and hand sanitiser included in the CPI basket? (@AnotherDevGuy)
I have just checked and they are not on the list. This poses a couple of issues as we note both the surge in demand ( with implications for weighting) and the rise in price seen. A couple of area’s may pick things up as for example household cleaners are on the list and judging by their suddenly popularity albeit in a new role lady’s scarves but they are on the margins and probably underweighted.
The New Governor Has A Headache
If we check the inflation remit we see that the new Governor Andrew Bailey will be getting out his quill pen to write to the new Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

If inflation moves away from the target by more than 1 percentage point in either direction, I
shall expect you to send an open letter to me, covering the same considerations set out above
and referring as necessary to the Bank’s latest Monetary Policy Report and forecasts, alongside
the minutes of the following Monetary Policy Committee meeting.
He will of course say he is pumping it up with record low interest-rates and the like. He is unlikely to be challenged much as this morning has brought news of a welcome gift he has given the Chancellor.
Negative Interest-Rates in the UK Klaxon! For the first time the UK has issued a Gilt (bond) with a negative yield as the 2023 stock has -0.003%. So yes we are being paid to borrow money.
A marginal amount but it establishes a principle which we have seen grow from an acorn to an oak tree elsewhere.
There is trouble ahead
There are serious issues I have raised with the ONS.
How will price movements for UK houses be imputed when there are too few for any proper index? The explanation is not clear at all and poses issues for the numbers produced. Also this feeds into another issue. “It should be noted that the methodologies used in our consumer price statistics for many of these measures tend to give smoothed estimates of price change and will therefore change slowly.”
The suspension of the house price index below after today poses big problems for the RPI which uses them and actually as happens so often opens an even bigger can of worms which is smoothing.
In other words we are being given 2019 data in 2020 and this is quite unsatisfactory. So whilst the ONS may consider this a tactical success it is a strategic failure on the issue of timeliness for official statistics. I think all readers of this would like to know more detail on the smoothing process here as to repeat myself it goes against the issue of producing timely and relevant numbers.
Some of you may recall the disaster smoothing had on the with-profits investment industry and once people understand its use in inflation data there will be plenty of issues with it there too. My full piece for those who want a fuller picture is linked to below.
Comment
As the media projects lower inflation ahead sadly the picture is seeing ch-ch-changes,
Oil prices rose for a fourth straight session on Tuesday amid signs that producers are cutting
output as promised just as demand picks up, stoked by more countries easing out of curbs
imposed to counter the coronavirus pandemic. Brent crude, climbed 25 cents or 0.7% to
$35.06 a barrel, after earlier touching its highest since April 9. (uk.reuters.com 19 May 2020)
That may not feed into the May data but as we move forwards it will. That also highlights something which may be one of the Fake News events of our time which is the negative oil price issue. Yes it did happen but since then we have seen quite a bounce as we are reminded that some issues are complex or in this instance a rigged game.
How much of other price rises the inflation numbers will pick up is open to serious doubt. Some of this is beyond the control of official statistics as they could hardly be expected to know the changes in the patterns for face masks for example. But the numbers will be under recorded right now due to factors like this from the new HDP measure.
Out of stock products have been removed where these are clearly labelled, however, there may be products out of stock that have still been included for some retailers. If the price of these items do not change, this could cause the index to remain static.
What do you think might have happened to prices if something is out of stock?
Meanwhile there is another signal that inflation may be higher ahead.
BoE Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said it might go below zero around the end of 2020
The reality is of a complex picture of disinflation in some areas and inflation sometimes marked inflation in others.

As the economic machine and its associated incomes came to a halt in Q1 of this year, the liquidity storm consisted of countless companies drawing on their revolving credit facilities from banks at the same time to get cash on their balance sheets (a corporate version of a bank run), the foreign sector scrambling for dollars to service dollar-denominated debts (and selling some of their U.S. Treasury reserves to get them), tens of millions of people losing their jobs in the United States and countless more losing jobs internationally, and virtually all markets (Treasuries, credit securities, equities, oil futures, precious metals futures) becoming very illiquid as sellers overwhelmed buyers.

Sky News host Paul Murray says it is becoming quite obvious a lot of people are going to “choose the mighty Chinese currency over Australian values” as tensions continue to rise between the two nations.
China on Monday threatened to place a close to 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley exports, under the guise of an ‘anti-dumping probe,’ giving the Australian government less than two weeks to resolve the issue.
The communist country has now chosen to suspend imports from four separate Australia abattoirs, one of which is Chinese owned.
He said there will a number of people in business, politics, and acadaemia who will claim Australia needs to “moderate this discussion with China” and massage the relationship.

The Federal Reserve issued a RECORD amount of new Currency in Circulation over the past two months .
While the financial media has focused on the massive amount of additional “ Digital ” money printing , the Fed also introduced more new DOLLAR BILLS into the market from March to May than it did all last year .
According to the St. Louis Fed , Currency in Circulation increased a staggering $ 122 billion from March to May .

However , the Federal Reserve increased the total Currency in Circulation by $ 122 billion from March to May : That ’ s one heck of a lot of new FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES to be issued in just 1/6th of a year .
So , how much gold and silver production could this new Currency in Circulation buy ?
Well , it turns out to be an astonishing amount of silver , nearly a decade ’ s worth of global silver production .
To arrive at the figures above , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 16 for silver and $ 1,600 for gold .
Now , these aren ’ t the current prices , but an approximate average for the year .
The world produces about 800 million oz of silver ( 2020 World Silver Survey ) and 111 million oz of gold ( World Gold Council ) .
Thus , the $ 122 billion of new U.S. Currency in Circulation would equal the value of nine years of global silver mine supply and nine months ’ worth of gold production .
And , this is just the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mostly $ 100 bills .
According to the Federal Reserve ’ s most recent chart , of the total $ 1.67 trillion of Currency in Circulation at the end of December 2018 , $ 100 bills accounted for 80 % of the total : However , in less than a year and a half , total U.S. Currency in Circulation is now $ 1.92 trillion , up from $ 1.67 trillion on Dec 31st , 2018 .

investmentwatchblog--2020-05-21--Wikipedia founder says Wikipedia has become badly biased

Larry Sanger , the founder of Wikipedia says that the project has abandoned neutrality and is now “ badly biased.
” In a blog post on Thursday ( May 14th ) , Sanger wrote a scathing critique of the bias at his former website .
“ Wikipedia ’ s ‘ NPOV ’ ( Neutral Point Of View ) is dead , ” Sanger began , referring to the site ’ s neutral point of view policy .
He specifically pointed to the entries for former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump as examples .
“ The Barack Obama article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Benghazi , the IRS scandal , the AP phone records scandal , and Fast and Furious , to say nothing of Solyndra or the Hillary Clinton email server scandal—or , of course , the developing ‘ Obamagate ’ story in which Obama was personally involved in surveilling Donald Trump , ” Sanger explained .
“ A fair article about a major political figure certainly must include the bad with the good .
The only scandals that I could find that were mentioned were a few that the left finds at least a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s revelations about NSA activities under Obama .
In short , the article is almost a total whitewash.
” The founder points out that the entry for President Trump , on the other hand , is “ unrelentingly negative.
” “ Meanwhile , as you can imagine , the idea that the Donald Trump article is neutral is a joke .
Just for example , there are 5,224 none-too-flattering words in the ‘ Presidency ’ section .
By contrast , the following ‘ Public Profile ’ ( which the Obama article entirely lacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ Impeachment ’ sections are unrelentingly negative , and together add up to some 4,545 words—in other words , the controversy sections are almost as long as the sections about his presidency , ” Sanger explains .
“ Common words in the article are ‘ false ’ and ‘ falsely ’ ( 46 instances ) : Wikipedia frequently asserts , in its own voice , that many of Trump ’ s statements are ‘ false.
’ Well , perhaps they are .
But even if they are , it is not exactly neutral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially without attribution .
You might approve of Wikipedia describing Trump ’ s incorrect statements as ‘ false , ’ very well ; but then you must admit that you no longer support a policy of neutrality on Wikipedia .

Now, hackers are selling access to a company’s entire network infrastructure and asking for commissions of up to 30% of the potential profits. The average cost of privileged access to a local network is around $5,000, but the asking price can range from $500 to $100,000.

investmentwatchblog--2020-05-21--Washington State: Residents Who Refuse COVID Test to Be Placed Under House Arrest

As many US states struggle to roll-back their highly damaging lockdown policies , various complex technocratic ‘ gating ’ systems are now being devised by public health officials – all of them presumable designed to prevent a theoretical “ second wave ” of coronavirus infections and deaths .
One such precondition is the call for “ mass testing and contact tracing ” for COVID-19 .
This is being proposed as a requirement for the lifting lockdown restrictions , supposedly until a vaccine or effective treatments arrive which are meant to rescue the public from the alleged unprecedented global pandemic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this system of medical martial law really means in terms of basic rights and civil liberties .
This issue may be coming to a head now .
During a recent press conference on May 12th , Washington State Governor Jay Inslee revealed his radical agenda for rolling out his statewide contact tracing program , saying that his initiative “ is robust , it is vigorous and it is comprehensive , and it needs to be all three to be successful , ” Inslee said .
“ If we do not succeed in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus could come bright back and bite us.

A Crisis Of Confidence

A Crisis of Confidence , Part Two – Craig Hemke ( May 19 , 2020 ) Back in March and April , a chasm opened between the dollar price of spot gold ( XAU ) and the front month COMEX futures contract .
So-called experts reassured us that this was simply due to “ logistics ” and “ gold being in the wrong place ” .
Was this true , or might it have been just another set of apologies from the usual shills ?
We first wrote about this issue on April 7 , and it would be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Please give it a look : www.sprottmoney.com/Blog/a-crisis-in-confi… Below is a screenshot of the key section of that post : In the six weeks since , this spread/premium in COMEX gold has alternated from + $ 20 some days to as little as + $ 2 on others .
Indeed , mines and refineries have since re-opened , and physical gold seems readily available for delivery in London and other locations .
As I type , this spread—which was as high as $ 12 earlier this week—is once again just $ 3 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ so fast .
Below is a screenshot of the current spread/premium in silver .
As with gold , silver has its own spot pair quoted as XAG/USD .
It also has its own COMEX front and delivery month , which at present is the July contract .
As my friend Andrew Maguire likes to say : “ Wait a second…hold on just a minute.
” So the spread in COMEX gold has returned to “ normal ” , allegedly because supply strains have eased and confidence in delivery has returned .
OK .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and widening spread in COMEX silver ?
By the logic of The Shills & Apologists , the global silver market must now be suffering from its own supply strains and a lack of confidence in the bullion banks .
Why else would simple arbitrage not close the gap ?
Again , a deep-pocketed party should be able to buy 5,000 ounces at spot and concurrently sell a COMEX contract to deliver those 5,000 ounces in July .
It ’ s an easy , risk-free trade and with a 50¢ spread , just one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Do this 100 times and you profit $ 250,000 in about six weeks .
Do this at the COMEX position limit of 1,500 times and you pocket $ 3,750,000—again , RISK FREE—in about six weeks .
Now of course , you and I don ’ t have the $ 135,000,000 needed to put on this trade just lying around .
But banks do .
Large hedge funds too .
So why don ’ t they ?
A $ 3,750,000 six-week profit on $ 135,000,000 is 2.78 % .
Where on earth at this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ profit 2.78 % in the next six weeks ?
NOWHERE !
What would that be ?
About 30 % annualized ?
?
And yet NO ONE is doing it .
How do we know ?
Because the spread remains and continues to widen .
This can only mean one thing .
Putting on the trade is NOT risk free and the possible gain of 2.78 % on just six weeks is NOT guaranteed .
And why ?
A lack of confidence in the physical delivery needed to complete the trade in July .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid-related mine closures in Mexico and Peru ?
Those two countries accounted for about 40 % of global silver mine supply in 2019 .
See this link : www.sprott.com/media/2268/world-silver-sur… But both countries are coming back on-line now after only missing production for less than two months : From that Sprott report linked above , Mexico produces about 15,000,000 ounces per month , while Peru produces about 12,000,000 .
Taking both offline for two months removes about 55,000,000 ounces from the global supply chain .
Could that amount be enough to completely upset the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivery confidence ?
At first glance , you wouldn ’ t think so .
The CME/COMEX purports to house over 300,000,000 ounces in their approved vaults .
That would seem like more than enough silver to bridge the production gap and provide enough immediate delivery for the arbitrage to kick in and close the spread/premium .
Yet the spread remains , and it has actually widened in the week since both Mexico and Peru announced the easing of Covid mining restrictions .
So what ’ s the deal ?
Is silver just “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Are there “ not enough airplanes flying ” to move it around the planet in sufficient size ?
Maybe you should begin to consider instead whether or not these stories of “ plenty of metal lying around ” are simply that—stories .
If the Bullion Bank Fractional Reserve and Digital Derivative Pricing Scheme really did have plentiful physical metal to prop it up , then premiums between spot and futures should NEVER happen—regardless of short-term mine and refinery closures .
The system itself should be able to provide enough existing metal to fund @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spreads persist betrays the cover story provided by the paid shills for the system , and Ockham ’ s Razor provides the simplest answer : The spreads/premiums persist because there is NOT sufficient physical metal to satisfy immediate delivery demands .
As an investor , understand what this shortage implies about the current pricing scheme and its future .
Demand for physical metal is very likely to intensify in the months ahead as the global central banks race to monetize sovereign debt to combat the economic collapse brought about by Covid-19 .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fiat money supply , and only physical precious metal can protect you from the deleterious impacts .
Growing physical demand will stress The Banks and their system to greater degrees , and the eventual collapse of this scheme will lead to a new pricing structure that is related to supply and demand of physical metal , not the supply and demand of digital derivatives .
When this day comes—and these current spreads may signal that it ’ s coming sooner rather than later—the price discovered for physical gold and silver will likely not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gold and $ 17.85 for an ounce of silver .
What will the price be ?
Maybe we ’ ll write about that next week .

A Dutch mink farm worker likely caught coronavirus from the animals kept there, in the country’s first reported case of animal-to-human transmission, the agriculture minister said.
For more coronavirus news, visit our dedicated page.
The case happened on one of two farms near the southern city of Eindhoven where the disease was earlier found among the mammals, which are bred for their valuable fur.
Researchers compared the genetic code of the virus found in the mink to that of the patient, creating a “family tree” to map its mutation, minister Carola Schouten said late Tuesday.
“It is concluded from this investigation that it is plausible that one employee of an infected mink farm was infected by mink,” Schouten said in a letter to parliament.

No longer a thing to be shoved mindlessly into a pocket, tucked into a worn wallet or thrown casually on a kitchen counter, money’s status has changed during the virus era — perhaps irrevocably. The pandemic has also reawakened debate about the continued viability of what has been the physical lifeblood of global economies: paper money and coins.
From the supermarkets of the United States and Japan to the shantytowns of Africa to the gas stations of Tehran, a growing number of businesses and individuals worldwide have stopped using banknotes in fear that physical currency, handled by tens of thousands of people over their useful life, could be a vector for the spreading coronavirus.
Public officials and health experts have said that the risk of transferring the virus from person to person through the use of money is minimal. That hasn’t stopped businesses from refusing to accept currency, and some countries from urging citizens to stop using banknotes altogether.
