"Central banks are scooping up gold at the fastest pace since 1967, with analysts pinning China and Russia as big buyers in an indication that some nations are keen to diversify their reserves away from the dollar. Data compiled the World Gold Council, an industry-funded group, has shown demand for the precious metal has outstripped any annual amount in the past 55 years.
Last month’s estimates are also far larger than central banks’ official reported figures, sparking speculation in the industry over the identity of the buyers and their motivations.
The flight of central banks to gold 'would suggest the geopolitical backdrop is one of mistrust, doubt and uncertainty' after the US and its allies froze Russia’s dollar reserves, said Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault, a gold marketplace."
"China has sailed one of its three aircraft carriers near the U.S. territory of Guam, Japanese officials confirmed, ending an already combative year with a rare move that Beijing signaled as a clear warning to the Biden administration over Taiwan.
The Chinese fleet, led by the aircraft carrier Liaoning, had already spurred several clashes with U.S. allies in the region with its tour of the western Pacific, most recently by conducting roughly 260 takeoff and landing drills near the Japanese island of Okinawa, home to a major U.S. military presence. The operations prompted the Japanese air force to scramble fighter jets and helicopters, as well as a destroyer and other elements of its self-defense forces.
The operation 'showed that the Chinese carrier is ready to defend the country against potential US attacks launched from there, including military interference attempts over the Taiwan question,' according to an article from the English-language Global Times, citing Chinese analysts."
"Sam Bankman-Fried, the now-disgraced cryptocurrency mogul, held at least four meetings with senior White House officials this year — part of a push to influence crypto policy and build connections in Washington before his FTX empire ultimately collapsed.
Bankman-Fried met Sept. 8 with Steve Ricchetti, one of President Joe Biden’s senior advisers, White House officials familiar with the matter said. The meeting, previously unreported, was the latest in a handful of sessions.
FTX’s ties to Washington have come under scrutiny since the exchange’s collapse. Sam Bankman-Fried gave millions of dollars to Democrats, making him the party’s second-biggest individual donor in the 2022 election cycle. One of his former top lieutenants, Ryan Salame, was also a massive donor but backed Republicans."
Last Thursday Of The Year, Ripped From The Headlines - Things To Ponder:
“There’s Gold In Dem Der Hills…”
And everyone is trying to get their hands on it!
And keep it from you…
Whether you are already a follower of our work or brand new, we’ve been talking about the resource wars for precious metals for a while now:

Where we discuss this in-depth, including why (and how) you need to take action, which includes the Sherloc EZ platform (Click Here for info.)
This graph tells the whole story:
DISCLAIMER: The following is not financial advice: You need to get as much as you can, however you can, and as fast as you can.
Because who knows…? Gold & Silver may become the only trusted currency in the market. So buy something…
Quick.
“Give Me Your Commissary, Punk…”
If you’re not familiar, that’s a popular line in the penitentiary (prison)… when they know you’re weak…
We’ve often discussed that world politics is civil… just like the penitentiary…
You get tested. If you’re weak or compromised, you basically become someone’s property.
Kinda sounds like China and the Biden administration, doesn’t it?
They are doing whatever they want when it comes to Taiwan…
And the US gives up its commissary…
Wondering what we’ll “give up” next.
“When Liars Conspire…”
…You get Scam Bankman-Fraud (Hat Tip to Carl Jackson) setting guiding and setting cryptocurrency policy for the WHITE HOUSE to follow.
We’ve covered this crazy collusion and corruption extensively in the US vs Randall Crater case, in particular with our piece “When Liars Conspire (Click To Read).”
But now, you can see just how deep the rabbit hole goes…
If you think this is just about crypto, you are sorely mistaken…
The US Government and its handlers want EVERYTHING YOU HAVE…

What does this mean?
Things aren’t going to end well if you don’t take action.
But, here’s what’s different this time… multiple people are saying that exact thing from a number of different angles, and in different places.
One of the things we often say is to watch what successful people do, & do that.
Most of them are already out of the line of fire for social unrest or economic collapse…
How do you think they see things ending up?
Why should I care?
When was the last time you checked on your “go-to’s”:
*Your go-to investment?
*Your go-to safety net?
*Your go-to emergency plan?
If it’s been a while, here’s some bad news: They probably don’t work anymore.
That means you’re behind in planning for rough times.
You should care.
What should I do?
Take a moment… right now if you can… to take inventory of what you’re seeing in this newsletter each day.
Have you ever seen a time quite like this?
Ok good, you’re paying attention. That’s the point.
If you’re not paying attention and trapped in the hustle and bustle of a busy world (with a ton of useless stuff, by the way), this stuff will come up on you like a thief in the night.
You need to take the time to prepare as best you can for a time when good supplies, strong communities, and strong connections are the difference between surviving and thriving or being in bad shape.
GET MOVING ASAP.
Also, please share what you get from this newsletter.
