The Economic Collapse

2025 has been a smashing year for those that invested in precious metals.  The price of copper is up about 30 percent since the start of the year, and the price of silver has risen 128 percent during that same time period.  I have been saying “we have never seen anything like this before” a lot lately, but this is yet another case where that is entirely true.  Needless to say, what we have been witnessing is not welcome news for those that have been trying to keep silver prices and copper prices suppressed.  In recent weeks, big losses have turned into even bigger losses as things haven’t gone their way.  The big financial institutions in the western world that have been attempting to suppress prices are fighting a losing battle, because the “AI revolution” is going to require vast amounts of physical silver and physical copper.  At this stage, it would take a truly apocalyptic event to stop the construction of the thousands of colossal data centers that are currently going up all over the globe.

Hundreds of millions of people all over the western world are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing has changed.  But meanwhile the pounding of the war drums just continues to intensify.  If the world keeps going down this path, next year’s holiday season could look completely different.  Unfortunately, most people seem to assume that everything will magically work out just fine somehow.  That greatly frustrates me, because ignoring the reality of the crisis that we are facing is not going to fix anything.  If ordinary citizens in the western world truly understood what was at stake, they would be going completely ballistic right now.  Global war is rapidly approaching, but the vast majority of our entertainment-addicted population doesn’t seem to get this.

Will 2026 be a year of great shaking for the United States?  Coming into 2025, I thought that seismic activity would be a major global theme, and that has certainly turned out to be the case.  This has been an extremely unusual year for earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire, and volcanoes that have been dormant for ages are suddenly roaring to life all over the world.  Here in the United States, we have been experiencing lots and lots of little earthquakes, but thankfully we have not been hit by a really bad one yet.  Will our luck run out in 2026?

The slow-motion disaster that we are witnessing on the west coast is unlike anything we have ever seen before.  A series of atmospheric rivers has already dumped trillions of gallons of water on the region, and trillions of gallons of additional water will fall before the end of the year.  This has caused some rivers to rise to the highest levels that we have ever seen.  Meanwhile, some areas in the Northwest have been repeatedly pummeled by extremely high winds.  As you will see below, some of the wind speeds that have been recorded are difficult to believe.  For a long time I have been warning my readers that weather patterns have been going nuts all over the globe, but of course many people will never be convinced until it actually happens where they live.  For tens of millions of Americans that live along the west coast, a wake up call has finally arrived.

Guess which nation has the most proven oil reserves?  It isn’t Saudi Arabia, although the Saudis rank a close second.  It isn’t Iran or Iraq either.  In fact, the country with the largest proven oil reserves isn’t even in the Middle East.  Canada has a lot of oil, and so does Russia, but neither one of them tops the list.  At a whopping 303 billion barrels, the nation that currently possesses the most proven oil reserves is actually Venezuela… (Read More...)

Frustrated job seekers all over America just got more bad news.  The unemployment rate just hit the highest level that we have seen in four years, and that is yet another indication that the labor market is getting even tighter.  If you currently have a good job that you highly value, hold on to it, because finding a replacement for that job would not be easy in this very challenging economic environment.  In previous articles, I have shared heartbreaking stories from unemployed Americans that have been unable to find work no matter how hard they have tried.  I am going to share more of those stories today.  When you are unemployed and month after month goes by without finding a job, it can really do a number on your self-esteem.  If you have ever been through a stretch like that, you know exactly what I mean.

We possess technology that would have been unimaginable to people living 100 years ago, we have access to more entertainment than any other generation in human history, and we have been enjoying an artificially-inflated standard of living that has been fueled by an unprecedented debt binge for decades.  So why are so many of us so miserable?  One out of every eight Americans is taking an antidepressant, more than 48 million Americans have a substance use disorder, the suicide rate has been trending in the wrong direction for years, and according to Gallup the percentage of U.S. adults that are currently dealing with depression has nearly doubled since 2015… (Read More...)

Inflation is a tax that nobody can escape.  No matter how hard you may try, the rising cost of living is going to catch up with you eventually, and we live at a time when the cost of living has become exceedingly painful.  The reason why the cost of living has become such an important issue is because those that are running the system have been treating our currency like toilet paper.  Many of us warned what would happen when the Federal Reserve started printing money out of thin air and monetizing the debt.  But instead of learning their lesson, they are beginning to do it again.  And Congress is spending so much money that the monthly budget deficit for the month of October just set an all-time record.  What they are doing to us is literally insane, and the middle class is dying right in front of our eyes.
