’The biggest problem with Gold and silver is that they are both FUNCTIONALLY USELESS when you actually need them.

In 1923 (Weimar confiscation) - Gold demanded for reparations, refusal criminalized, jailed for up to 30+ years. In 1931 (Executive Order 6102) - Turn in all Gold to the government or face prison time. In 1950 (People’s Bank decree) - All private Gold must be surrendered to the state, refusal meant “counter-revolutionary” charges, labor camps, or DEATH PENALTY. In 1939 (Defence Regulations) - Gold requisitioned for the war effort; refusal meant imprisonment. In 1962 (Gold Control Act), Private gold ownership was banned, and violations were punishable by imprisonment.

EVERY major global superpower has stormed private domiciles, arrested, and jailed citizens during hyperinflationary periods when Gold worked too well.

Goldbugs fail to understand that you either need to time the market and try to buy a less SEIZABLE asset (land? lmao), enjoy consumables with your new wealth, or wait too long and inevitably have it seized.

Bitcoin is the ONLY asset that cannot be claimed by violence or regulation. THAT is the killer feature. I can timelock my bitcoin using script opcodes, making it cryptographically impossible to spend until a predetermined date, even if you manage to get my keys. I can split custody across multiple global counterparties with multisig so that no single government can seize it. I can obfuscate all onramps and transactions using second layers like Lightning and Liquid, making the entire chain of ownership invisible to surveillance. It is the only asset where you can store $100M of value that not only can’t be confiscated, but that the government doesn’t even know exists.

And I know some midcurves will say, “That’s criminal money laundering.” Cool. India used Bitcoin to settle trade with Russia when SWIFT was weaponized. Guess they’re criminals too.

When the government wants something from you, they take it, and you become a de facto criminal. Law does not matter to Bitcoin. That makes it infinitely more valuable than shiny rocks.’ - Julian Figueroa

On the 26of January:

➡️ Gold just ripped above $5,000/oz, and the chart looks like a 2017 Bitcoin cycle. Eventually, Bitcoin will catch up.

Bitcoin is the greatest store of value in the world since its creation GoldGold is up 3.3x since the pandemic… BTC is up 12.5x. Oh, and BTC is invisible, weightless, trades 24/7 globally, is easily verified, and teleports.

On the 27th of January:

➡️ Jack Dorsey’s app Bitchat lets users send Bitcoin without an internet connection.

➡️The U.S. Dollar situation: The most interesting part about yesterday’s situation is that President Trump is effectively welcoming a weaker U.S. Dollar. Objectively speaking, the U.S. Dollar just posted its worst year in 8 years. The Dollar just cracked below a critical 96 level on the DXY. The last two times this happened, in 2017 and 2020, Bitcoin exploded into a full-blown bull market in the months that followed. - Bitcoin News

On the 28th of January:

➡️ German authorities raided Deutsche Bank AG offices as part of a money laundering probe. Meanwhile, Christine Lagarde calls #Bitcoin the currency of criminals.

➡️’A Rabobank strategist just published the clearest framework for understanding Trumponomics I’ve seen. The thesis: Trump is running Gorbachev’s playbook, in reverse. Here’s what that means for bitcoin, stablecoins, and the future of money.’ -TFTC

TLDR / What it means: 1. Stablecoins = policy tools now 2. Bitcoin’s neutral reserve role just got validated 3. The free trade era is over 4. Inflation runs hot during transition 5. Energy dominance is everything

You can read the full thread here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2016598317535547904.html

Gorbachev’s lesson: “That model turned out to be incapable of making structural changes.” Trump is betting America CAN make structural changes. That’s the experiment we’re living through. Full report from Rabobank’s Michael Every is worth the read: https://media.rabobank.com/m/25b5e7fd0ccc31a0/original/President-Trump-achev-Go-rump.pdf

➡️Stack Hodler: Gold has gone vertical on a log scale. It’s happening now. Global capital suddenly sees counterparty and debasement risk everywhere. At some point, the immediate need to withdraw capital from fiat instruments will override the long-term fear of quantum risks to Bitcoin. “Ok, sure, years from now someone may rob Satoshi’s coins, but I’ll still have X out of 21 million coins.” Eventually, getting your assets into something without a million claims on it becomes the priority. When only “physical” will do… Bitcoin is going to rip a hole in the sky. Watch.’

10 YEAR RETURNS Silver: 8.4x Gold: 4.8x Copper: 3.0x Bitcoin: 234.7x

It took Gold over 5,600 years to hit $1,000/oz for the first time, in 2008, amid the worst financial crisis in U.S. history. Meanwhile, gold prices have risen by $1,000/oz in 28 days. But don’t worry, fiat currencies are completely fine.

Gold has no difficulty adjusting. Therefore, if a rising gold price incentivizes more supply, the only adjustment will be a price decline. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. Your share can never be diluted.

Got Bitcoin?

➡️’Do NOT buy Bitcoin if you have a 1-year time horizon. Every asset is risky if you have a short time horizon. Only buy if you can hold for 4+ years. If you buy Bitcoin expecting to get quick returns, you’re gambling, and if you lose money, it’s because you didn’t deserve to have it in the first place.’ - Rajat Soni

➡️The power law model suggests that the price of Bitcoin could end 2026 at ~$200,000. - Joe Burnett

➡️President Trump says he will be announcing a new Federal Reserve Chair “next week.” Pro-Bitcoin Rick Rieder is currently leading in the odds for the job, according to Polymarket.

➡️President Trump’s next FED Chair pick, Kevin Warsh, on Bitcoin: “I think of it as an important asset that can help inform policymakers when they are doing things right and wrong.” “It can be a very good policeman for policy.” “It’s the newest and coolest software that will provide us with the ability to do things that we could have never done before.”

➡️Trump officially selects Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair. Warsh has previously said, “If you’re under 40, Bitcoin is your new gold.” Scott Bessent + Kevin Warsh. Two proteges of Stan Druckenmiller hold the most important finance positions in the U.S. Government.

I am 100% percent they will do that. They will pass the costs of the CBDC onto the existing payment system, deliberately making it less attractive. That way, the failure of the digital Euro can be masked by sabotaging successful private payment methods.

No one is asking for a digital euro. It is being imposed.

It feels like a monetary preview of what may follow in the real economy: coercion, rationing, coercion, expropriation, coercion…

On the 31st of January:

➡️South Dakota has revived legislation that would allow the state to invest up to 10% of eligible public funds in #Bitcoin. Republican Rep. Logan Manhart reintroduced House Bill 1155, which would permit Bitcoin exposure through direct holdings, qualified custodians, or regulated exchange-traded products. -Bitcoin News

➡️Quinten: “I wish I bought Bitcoin in 2015.” Well, BTC is the most undervalued against Gold since 2015.

60% of the total gold supply has been brought above ground over the last 65 years. This means only 40% of the total supply was found in the previous 100,000 years. This means humans are getting better at extracting gold from the Earth. In 65 years, more than half of gold’s value was transferred to gold miners. We have no idea how much Gold exists or how much will exist in the future. Bitcoin’s supply has always been 21,000,000

➡️EU fintech giant Revolut will integrate the Bitcoin Lightning Network. They have roughly 50 million users.

On the 1st of February:

➡️River: ‘Bitcoin is the 13th largest asset globally. 60% of top U.S. banks are creating products. 50% of top Hedge Fs & RIAs own ETFs. Half of the supply is stored in self-custody. More business adoption than ever. Payment volume is growing rapidly. Trillions in value are transferred yearly. Survived 477 obituaries by the media. Legal in almost every country. 23 nation-states hold Bitcoin. Bitcoin, not crypto, is still true. Hash rate near an all-time high. Highest node count ever. 99.99% network uptime. Nothing about Bitcoin’s fundamentals has changed. Don’t let them convince you otherwise.’

➡️Bitcoin is now down 40% from its October 2022 peak, its biggest drawdown since 2022. - Charlie Bilello

Sometimes you need to zoom out and chill.

’Bitcoin is relatively cheap at these prices.

  1. Mayer Multiple compares it to the 200-day moving average. It has been more expensive 86% of the time. So we are in the 14% cheap area. @TIPMayerMultple
  2. Power Law Model: The mean model price now is $120,568. spot price is: $77,386. a discount of 36%, excellent details at: http://b1m.io @dotkrueger Do with this information what you will. Buying at these levels has worked out quite well in the past.’ - Lawrence Lepard

➡️117 days since the $126,296 ATH in October. BTC needs to gain +$47,648 (+60.6%) to set a new ATH. - Pierre Rochard

On the 2nd of February:

➡️One of the longest ISM Manufacturing PMI contraction periods in U.S. history ended this morning with a breakout to 52.6, up 4.7 points from December. Past breakouts in 2013, 2016, and 2020 served as key catalysts for Bitcoin’s major bull runs. This marks the end of 26 consecutive months of contraction and signals the first expansion since early 2025. The ISM subindices paint an extremely optimistic picture:

  1. New Orders surged 9.7 points to 57.1
  2. Production rose 5.2 points to 55.9
  3. Backlogs of Orders expanded 5.8 points to 51.6
  4. Supplier Deliveries increased 3.6 points to 54.4, reflecting rising demand pressure
  5. Prices only edged up 0.5 points to 59.0, signaling contained Inflation. Historically, these PMI reversals mark the shift to risk-on conditions. This is good for Bitcoin. -Joe Burnett

‘It has become clear that one of the main reasons that the general public has been so slow to adopt Bitcoin is that humans have never known a store of value asset to be truly sovereign, especially in a high Inflation or socially oppressive regime. Through all the noise of mainstream media and fiat fanatics (PhD economists, bankers, et al) they don’t yet understand how Bitcoin is truly different from any other asset that can be easily seized, i.e., cash (taxes or physical force), GoldGold (fake paper or force), houses (force or foreclosure), and so they don’t yet trust Bitcoin to be that ultimate store of value. Can you blame them? After all, no asset they have ever owned has been truly safe from seizure. However, Bitcoin is unique in this way, and they will soon learn.’ - James Lavish

💸Traditional Finance / Macro:

On the 30th of January:

👉 Incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh:

  1. Youngest Fed Governor in history during the 2008 Financial Crisis
  2. Said the Fed waited too long to raise interest rates in 2022
  3. Said the Fed lost credibility by overstimulating post-COVID
  4. Said QE inflates asset bubbles and worsens inequality
  5. Claims to support a rules-based Fed, not discretionary policymaking
  6. Wants a smaller Fed balance sheet and more focus on price stability. A new era of monetary policy is ahead of us. -TKL

🏦Banks:

👉🏽No news

🌎Macro/Geopolitics:

Socialism and communism have one universally proven outcome: poverty for the masses, power for a select few, and misery as the permanent end state. Unfortunately, we see a lot of that in the West.

On the 26th of January:

👉🏽TALIBAN ANNOUNCE RETURN OF SLAVERY TO AFGHANISTAN ‘The old Ghulam system, in which children were taken as sexually enslaved people and servants, has officially returned. Where is the left crying out against this? Where are the marches? Where are the speeches? Silence.’- Basil the Great

Taliban legalized slavery, child abuse, societal hierarchy, and banned education for girls & women. But he, let’s keep funding and endorsing the Taliban. Hypocrisy!

On the 27th of January:

👉🏽The European Commission launches an investigation into Grok. So why no investigation into ChatGPT or Gemini for the same behavior? Why the double standard? Why is Elon Musk the only target?

👉🏽TKL: ‘Most people don’t realize what Trump just said: For 12+ months, the U.S. Dollar has been in a sharp decline, falling by 10% in 2025, its worst year since 2017.

Minutes ago, for the first time, President Trump commented on the decline in the USD: “The value of the Dollar is great,” Trump said. This immediately sent the U.S. Dollar another 1% lower, to its lowest level since February 2022. Why? It’s a clear signal that President Trump is willing to tolerate a weaker Dollar to push rates lower and boost U.S. exports. Own assets or be left behind.’

👉🏽Kallas urges ‘more European’ NATO as Trump upends ties. Why is she even talking? So what exactly is she getting involved in? And isn’t the entire exercise of increasing defense spending supposed to serve precisely that purpose?

👉🏽TKL: ‘Japanese investors are a crucial part of U.S. markets: Japanese holdings of U.S. bonds and stocks totaled $2.22 trillion at the end of 2024, according to Bank of Japan data. This is followed by investments in the Cayman Islands, France, and the UK at $834 billion, $179 billion, and $150 billion, respectively. In other words, Japanese exposure to the U.S. is TWICE as large as their combined positions in these 3 countries. Furthermore, total foreign assets owned by Japanese investors rose to $4.95 trillion in Q3 2025, near an all-time high. This comes as they held $2.54 trillion in equity and investment-fund shares and $2.41 trillion in debt. What happens if these investors start bringing money back home?’

👉🏽Europe is relentlessly working on local alternatives to U.S. tech giants.

👉🏽Ursula von der Leyen approves India’s invasion of Europe. The EU signs an “agreement on mobility” with India, facilitating “the movement of students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers,” and launches the “first EU Legal Gateway Office in India” to support Indian talent moving to Europe.“

Wir schaffen das!

Oh, and on top of that, the trade deal with India also doubles as a climate agreement: the EU allocates €500 million to “green” Indian industry.

Why do we, Europeans — whose industry already pays high climate taxes — also have to subsidize India to finance their climate policy?! So we end up paying twice for “the climate.” The EU (Commission) has its goddammnn mind completely!

On the 28th of January:

👉🏽The leaders of Spain:

  1. legalizing 500,000 illegal aliens and asylum seekersfrom Africa if they can prove they have lived in Spain for 5+ months. This will provide them with full legal status in Europe, allow them to cross into any EU country for work or residency, and give them welfare benefits.
  2. giving work visas to India. Spain has an unemployment rate of >10%. What is going on in that country? Are they intentionally trying to implode it?

Wall Street Mav: ‘His ancestors fought for 700 years during the Reconquista (722 to 1492) to remove the Muslims from Spain. Now they are throwing it all away and just giving Spain back to the Muslims. Don Pelayo, the father of the Reconquista, would not be happy.’

So why are they doing this? They explicitly say this is to ‘defeat the far right’. So there you have it. That’s the plan. Let them all in, then tell them all to vote left-wing. This is Keir Starmer’s plan in the UK or any other (left-wing) Western European country.

👉🏽TKL: A weaker U.S. Dollar helps drive:

  1. Looser financial conditions (rate cuts)
  2. Higher nominal GDP growth
  3. Higher asset prices
  4. Higher U.S. exports and a lower trade deficit
  5. Easier debt servicing for the U.S. government This is why Trump said the Dollar is doing “great.”

The U.S. Dollar situation: The most interesting part about yesterday’s situation is that President Trump is effectively welcoming a weaker U.S. Dollar. Objectively speaking, the U.S. Dollar just posted its worst year in 8 years. When asked about it for the first time, President Trump could have easily pushed back on the recent decline. In fact, he said the U.S. Dollar is like a “yo-yo,” which he could swing to either direction, acknowledging his ability to reverse its decline. If this is the case, why didn’t President Trump speak in favor of strengthening the U.S. Dollar? A weaker U.S. dollar is associated with lower rates, higher U.S. exports, a lower trade deficit, and higher nominal GDP growth. And, most importantly: higher asset prices. Yesterday’s events are not a coincidence.

👉🏽TKL: ‘The asset owner party just keeps getting better: This is what happens when the President of the US says the US Dollar is “doing great” after falling -11% in 12 months. Commodities are deep green across the board, a now seemingly daily occurrence. Gold is up another +3%, silver is up +9%, and S&P 500 futures are pushing into 7,000. For all who have followed our work for 12+ months, you were prepared for this. Asset owners are winning. Everyone else has been left behind.’

👉🏽Europe’s chemical industry is under severe pressure due to high energy costs, weak demand, and intense global competition. Over the past four years, Europe has lost 9% of its chemical production capacity, with the pace of factory closures accelerating sharply since 2022 as investment has ground to a halt. The situation is even more difficult in the Netherlands, where around 20% of chemical capacity has disappeared in the same period. These findings come from a report published this week at the request of Cefic, the European chemical industry association, highlighting how Europe’s industrial base is being steadily eroded. Implication: without competitive energy prices and a predictable regulatory framework, Europe risks permanently losing its chemical industry — and with it, a critical pillar of its economic sovereignty.

This is a race to the bottom, people, not to the top! - Jeroen Blokland

On the 29th of January:

👉🏽 Gold has officially overtaken U.S. Treasuries in central bank FX reserves for the first time in at least 20 years. Global official gold holdings at market price are up to $5.0 trillion, surpassing foreign official Treasury holdings of $3.9 trillion. Gold holdings have TRIPLED since Q4 2019, driven by aggressive central bank purchases and rising prices. Over this period, central banks have added ~4,500 tonnes of gold, including unreported purchases. At the same time, foreign Treasury holdings have remained unchanged. Gold is redefining the global monetary system. - TKL

👉🏽The most important chart you’ll ever see for understanding the recent volatility in gold price, and the fate of the U.S. dollar:

👉🏽CHINA IS LOCKING DOWN AFRICA’S PORTS
• 40+ African ports financed, built, or operated by China • Coverage across the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and the Red Sea • Several ports. Commercial today, military tomorrow • PLA Navy access now stretches far beyond Djibouti Ports = power. They control energy, Commodities, food, and Military reach. China isn’t surrounding Africa. It’s wiring itself into the global trade infrastructure. The real risk? One day, access isn’t guaranteed.’-Jak Prandelli

👉🏽Peter Thiel: Europe will never have massive tech companies because they fear success. “In Silicon Valley, there’s this pornography of failure. You talk about all your failures, and this somehow means you’re going to succeed.” “In the social democratic European societies, it’s acceptable to be moderately successful; it’s not acceptable to be wildly successful. If you have a successful company that’s starting to grow, it will get short-circuited, and you’ll sell the company. You’ll never get to an enormous company if you sell it along the way.” “The single most important decision in the history of Facebook— summer of 2006. It was two years into the company. We received a $1B acquisition offer from Yahoo to buy the company. There were three of us on the board—Mark Zuckerberg, me, and another VC. We had a meeting to decide if we should take the $1B.” “The two of us thought it was a lot of money, so we should maybe take it. Mark started the board meeting— ‘this is a pro forma thing, we’re just going to talk about this for 10 minutes. Obviously, we’re not taking it.” “Any super big tech company is one where you’ve been offered multiple times for people to buy it, and you’ve chosen never to sell it. You’re not that afraid of success.” “In Europe, the answer is to check out sooner rather than later and go back to the decade-long vacation that people are on in Europe.”

This is what he said in 2019: “Looking at Western Europe, I would say there are three plausible futures on offer:

  1. Islamic Sharia law, and if you’re a woman, you get to wear a burqa.
  2. Totalitarian AI à la China, where the computers track you and everything you do all the time, and that’s creepy. The Eye of Sauron, to use the Lord of the Rings references, is watching you at all times.
  3. Hyper-environmentalism, where you drive an e-scooter, and you recycle. And even though I’m not a radical environmentalist, I think if those are the three choices, you can understand why the green movement is winning.”

Thiel was and is spot on. 4. A combination of 1, 2, and 3. Eventually, as history always rhymes, we will have #5 – Right-wing in Europe takes power, and we have sort of “diet-Nazis” everywhere, deporting migrants or somekind of a holywar.

Or we, the people, dismantle the activist group that controls the political class and groomed it, and let individual countries self-govern again. It will unlock human productivity and growth. But the people have to want it.

On the 30th of January:

👉🏽A lot of sensationalism on multiple platforms: GERMANY PROPOSES TO END THE EUROPEAN UNION AS WE KNOW IT. Wow. This would be major. They want a two-tier European system. This would change everything and effectively bring the EU to an end as we know it.’

The reality is different. Germany’s Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said ‘now is the time for a Europe of two speeds’ — meaning faster cooperation among the six biggest economies (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Netherlands) on defense, capital markets, euro resilience, and building resilience amid growing geopolitical tensions. It’s a pragmatic fix for veto paralysis, not apocalypse—the main risk is that such a structure could deepen divisions within the EU rather than resolve them.

👉🏽Epstein claimed that Gates asked for antibiotics to slip to his then-wife, Melinda.

image

I bet it made his micro-soft.

Anyway, emails Epstein sent himself in 2013 claimed Bill Gates caught an STD from “Russian girls” and begged him for antibiotics to give to Melinda Gates secretly. Key quote from Epstein: “You implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis.”

Epstein was pissed that Gates ended their “friendship.” Gates has always denied any real relationship with Epstein or wrongdoing, calling the meetings a mistake. Source: https://t.co/VCugFF7gqt

Oh by the way, regarding the Epstein Files…

John Podesta was Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, White House Chief of Staff under Bill Clinton, and a counselor to Obama. He was a prolific pedophile and a pizza gate supplier to the elites. His brother Tony is a major DC lobbyist who collected this artwork. These images by Kim Noble and others that depict… well, you can see what they depict. With the Epstein files dropping and the web of connections becoming clearer, this “art collection” looks more unsettling than ever. Normal people don’t collect this. - Mario Nawfal

image

Normal people, especially millionaires and billionaires, don’t order pizza to their parties and brag about it on national TV.

Pedophiles should get the death penalty. No second offence. Anyone with this kind of material should automatically get a life sentence. There is no rehabilitation for adults who want to abuse children sexually (-13).

That’s all I want to say about all this. It is disgusting, and this is only 1% - the tip of the iceberg - so much is going on we don’t even know about.

👉🏽Denmark is getting more serious about stopping the mass immigration of Muslims and Africans. They may be the first Western country to solve this challenge.

image

Denmark has gathered the most comprehensive data in the world about the fiscal effects of Muslim /African immigrants. Then everyone else could learn what a disaster this mass immigration has been. And now they will show the way to stop this as well. Having even one Western country completely reverse out of migration will be a singular example that proves without doubt that multiculturalism is an abject failure. Other countries will eventually follow suit.

But, and it is a big but, will the Danes really do this? Or is it just a political stunt, given that it’s an election year?

👉🏽 Another jaw-dropping event in commie city, New York. Zohran Mamdani shocks New Yorkers by appointing Ramzi Kassem, Al Qaeda’s 9/11 defense attorney, as Chief Counsel. What a fucking disgrace to all the victims and first responders. Are you surprised? I am for sure not.

Carter Prescott: ’Everyone outside of NYC wasn’t even the least bit surprised. “As the frog began to sink, he said to the scorpion, ‘Why have you done this?’ The scorpion replied, ‘because it’s in my nature.’”

👉🏽The Netherlands - Politics: “We are getting the climate back on track.” - Rob Jetten

Says the very person who previously admitted that his policy would affect global temperatures by just 0.000036°C — an immeasurably small amount—the laughable self-importance of Jetten in his fact-free parallel universe. The Netherlands accounts for just 0.4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. The same hopeless nonsense we heard at the start of Rutte IV, with Jetten as climate minister. The promise, like those ‘ten new cities to be built,’ turns out to be nothing more than a metaphor. And a shitload of taxes, and a waste of money.

👉🏽In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it, he says that Bill Gates got STDs from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing.

Sarah Ferguson: “Epstein had a way of sexually compromising people. Is that what Melinda was warning you about?” Bill Gates: “No, I had dinner with him, and that’s all. There never was any relationship of any kind.” Oops!

If Bill Gates is willing to secretly drug his own wife and lie about his entanglement with Epstein, imagine what he’s willing to do to us.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release. Let that sink in.

The leader of the Spanish far-left, Irene Montero - MEP for the communist party Podemos, a partner of Spanish President Pedro Sanchez, admits at an event that she is in favor of replacing the native population with foreigners to alter voting dynamics: Leftist Spanish MEP: I hope for ‘replacement theory,’ I hope we can sweep this country of fascists and racists with immigrants. Whatever their skin color, whether ‘Chinese, Black, or Brown.’

Fucking communist, I will say it out loud. You know why, I hate hypocrisy! This woman took her kids out of public school and enrolled them in a fancy private one. Too many brown kids in the public one, maybe? In September 2025, several Spanish media outlets (including El Mundo) reported on it. Monthly costs of approx. € 500 per child. Ironically, she is the “Minister of Equality”.

I don’t care if we’re talking about fascists or communists. This is bringing people into the electorate to change election outcomes, which is electoral fraud. Hence, hypocrisy! Oh, and she preaches to the populist, the poor, and the ultra left, but she lives like an authentic capitalist.

And if you don’t believe me, just Google the following: This is a literal transcription of her words:
->I want to ask migrants and people of color to please not leave us alone with so many fascists.
->And of course we want them to vote, of course we do!
->We’ve gotten papers, regularization now! ->And now we’re going for citizenship or to change the law so they can vote, of course!!! ->Hopefully, with replacement theory, we can sweep this country of fascists and racists with migrants, with working people!
->Of course, I want a replacement!!! Replacement of fascists, replacement of racists, replacement of freeloaders, and let’s do it with the working people of this country, whatever their skin color, whether they’re Chinese, Black, Brown, with all the working people of this country!

If this isn’t a hate crime, it’s pretty close to one. Of course, if someone on the right made a similar statement, calling for “Sweeping leftists out of Spain,” they would surely be prosecuted.

Oh, and for all the women reading this. Yes, let’s replace ‘fascists’ with people whose culture encourages forced marriage with children, that doesn’t allow women to have rights, and that threaten and murder homosexuals…

For the historian readers amongst my followers. These are the hateful people who caused the civil war back in 1936 in Spain: same ideology, same violence, same hate, just a different methodology.

P.s.In Bilbao 2023, Spain, during the Aste Nagusia festival, 79 people were arrested for violent robbery and intimidation; 75 of them were Arab immigrants. They are 10-15% of the population and commit 90% of the crimes… Imagine granting them all citizenship.

On the 1st of January:

👉🏽Global gold demand rose +40 tonnes YoY in 2025, to a record 5,002 tonnes. This marks the 4th consecutive annual increase. Since 2021, demand for Gold has soared by +292 tonnes. In U.S. Dollar terms, total gold demand jumped +45% YoY, to $552 billion, an all-time high, doubling since 2022. This comes as global gold ETF holdings surged +801 tonnes YoY, marking the 2nd-strongest year on record. At the same time, bar and coin demand jumped to a 12-year high of 1,374 tonnes. Central bank gold demand hit 863 tonnes in 2025, the 4th-highest year on record and above the 2010-2021 annual average of 473 tonnes. The global gold rush is accelerating. - TKL

👉🏽The Netherlands: The new coalition agreement is called “Getting to Work,” but that seems to apply above all to those nearing retirement, who will now have to work longer due to a faster increase in the AOW retirement age than previously planned.

Letting citizens work until age 71 brings the state €2.8 billion. Yet Jetten wants to spend €28 billion to reduce global temperatures by 0.000036°C hypothetically. That’s how expensive climate policy has become.

👉🏽‘U.S. demographic outlook is deteriorating: Starting in 2030, annual deaths are projected to exceed births for the first time in U.S. history, according to CBO projections. After that point, the gap between deaths and births is expected to widen every year through 2056. This means that beginning in 2030, net immigration will be the only source of U.S. population growth. Meanwhile, the overall population growth rate is projected to slow, from 0.3% annually over the next decade to just 0.1% starting in 2040. The U.S. population is expected to stop growing entirely in 2056, reaching 364 million people. This is 8 million fewer than the CBO projected last January, marking a significant downward revision. Is a demographic crisis on the horizon?’ -TKL

👉🏽Professor Beatrice de Graaf on the coalition agreement: “It does say — in the fine print — that we are against Eurobonds, but that is essentially semantic. The VVD wanted to signal something to its voter base.” She adds: “In practice, the Netherlands is already participating in Eurobonds. We have signed off on the €90 billion loan to Ukraine. That means that if other countries — for example, France — were to run into serious trouble, Europe would still have to provide the funds. And that would imply that other countries, including the Netherlands, would be liable for the debts of others.” This is how we are quietly pulled back into joint European debt — once again. With thanks to the VVD, which claimed to oppose Eurobonds but, in practice, helped make them a reality.

👉🏽Epstein’s emails confirm what we already know. Greece was sacrificed to bail out German and French banks.

Lord Peter Mandelson gave Jeffrey Epstein advance notice of the €500bn EU bailout to save the Euro. Emailed him the evening before its official announcement on May 10, 2010.

On the 2nd of February:

👉🏽With zero political responsibility for this stupidity of the century. And now switching to more coal and gas to cope with the winter. Imagine voluntarily doing this to your own country:

Trump says Europeans “have to be very careful,” adding, “They’re at a tipping point. You have tremendous immigration problems, and you have tremendous energy problems.”

Hate him or love him, Mr. Orange is spot on.

👉🏽Mario Draghi: “What is needed, instead, is for Europe to move from a confederation to a federation. Where Europe has already federated, in trade, competition, the single market, and monetary policy, we are respected as a power and negotiated with accordingly.”

Sure, why not? A federalized Europe doesn’t mean a super-centralized state where individual national identities are eliminated.
