Time to dive in. Things are breaking quickly.
State and US Government Fraud On Parade
This image is now a permanent part of the internet meme set, and may well be responsible for igniting a political firestorm of biblical proportions.

As we covered with Mitch Vexler twice, the property tax scams are out of control and destined to fail. It’s nothing personal, just math at this point.
However, what is personal is having obvious and overt scams and frauds being perpetuated right in our faces with nothing ever happening to the perpetrators. The latest mega scam to be brought to our attention is the Somali-run “day care and healthcare” frauds in Minnesota, and they are infuriating.
If you haven’t seen it yet, please take the time to watch as much of Nick Shirley’s bombshell report on fraud in Minnesota as you can stomach:
It's quite telling that a 23-year-old in a hoodie did what every major news organization in the US could not manage to do: Real investigative journalism. This can only mean they are complicit in covering up fraud as long as it's being done by 'their team.' https://t.co/uhGURDda1C

It turns out that the Quality “Learing [sic]” Center has been investigated many times, and the state ‘auditors’ apparently found nothing wrong enough to suspend its operations:

When a jury unanimously convicted a Somali fraudster, the ‘judge’ – a white liberal lady – took the extraordinary step of vacating that ruling and releasing the fraudster.

In response to all this, Tim Walz wants you to know that white people have not apologized enough yet:

It’s 100% impossible that state ‘regulators’ didn’t know about these frauds. What the responsible parties may actually look like:
Jodi Harpstead ran the agency overseeing daycare centers in Minnesota from 2019-2024.Tikki Brown ran the agency overseeing daycare centers in Minnesota from 2024-Present.They didn’t know there were dozens of daycare centers taking MILLIONS of taxpayer $ with NO KIDS!?Oops! pic.twitter.com/xssGaaekkA

It’s been going on for a LONG time:

Maybe some good news? It looks like the FBI was finally shamed into action:

But, of course, the FBI HAD to have known about this all along. How could they not have?
The truth is @nickshirleyy made it impossible for the authorities to ignore the fraud in Minnesota.50-100 million views did that.Make no mistake about it…There are people in the FBI and DOJ right now that knew exactly what was going on.That’s the unfortunate truth.

Does this election pitch make more sense now? It was a clarion call to all the fraudsters to signal who was on their side:

But, don’t worry! WA has a plan to help pay for all that fraud. They now want you to pay 10% tax whenever buying gold or silver.

Time For A Tax Strike
After all the various frauds, up to and including the fact that the 2020 election was flat out stolen, along with probably every other one dating back to the first use of e-voting machines and tabulators, people seem to have finally had enough.

Silver!
Well, Mr. Slammy showed up last night, which was as inevitable as the future complete failure of the SEC and/or CFTC to even look into it for appearance’s sake, let alone credibly and forcefully.
This isn’t ‘price discovery’, it is ‘price setting’, which is clearly illegal. But, what isn’t a complete fraud and scam in the US anymore, amirite?
It began with an initial pop higher, but then a patented Mr. Slammy rug-pull with ~ 50 million ounces of trading happening within just 15 minutes:

After that was digested for a short while, another 30-million-ounce Slammy run happened over the next hour from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m.

And, of course, no Mr. Slammy outing would be complete without a typical 8:00 slam-o-rama:

This was clearly a coordinated, all-out attempt to rescue one or more Big Banks that had gotten in trouble.
Obviously, legitimate price discovery does not completely swamp all available trading bids in the middle of the night during normally thin trading hours. This is fraud, pure and simple.
The problem, of course, is that everybody knows this now and the US is busy destroying its own markets for the sake of bailing out a few banks that deserve to lose their shorts, in every sense of the word.
But, here in clown world, the prudent get punished, and the scammers get rewarded.
Remember to try and act surprised when the whole thing implodes someday due to all the fraud.
Remember, it didn’t have to be this way.
What’s the impact of all these shenanigans? Nobody has been looking for silver for a very long time and that’s why annual mine production is declining.
