My two cents on the repatriation of French gold bars: - France asked to return their 12.5 kg gold bars - US had already sold them - US offered to wire the money - France accepted and bought new 12.5 kg gold bars in London - Both countries agreed on the following spin to sell the story: - new bars bought to ‘meet current standards’ - Spin is 100% bullshit - 12.5 kg 999.9 pure gold bars have always been 999.9 pure gold bars of 12,5 kg - previous gold repatriations always happened without the ‘ need for ‘current standards’ - MSM doesn’t ask questions and prints spin - Another PR disaster avoided for the US/FED - The rigging of the dollar system can go on - The can can be kicked a bit further down the road

the Birthday Party Piñata Game Imagine it’s the best birthday party ever! 
There’s a huge, colorful piñata hanging from a tree — you know, the kind shaped like a big donkey or star, covered in bright paper strips of red, blue, yellow, and pink. It’s super fat and wobbly, and everyone knows it’s stuffed with tons of candy! The grown-ups hand out 200 shiny tickets to all the kids. Each ticket says: “This gets you a turn to swing at the piñata and grab candy when it breaks — today!” But here’s the sneaky part: even though there are 200 tickets, the piñata only has room for about 20 handfuls of candy inside. Not enough for everyone if they all rush at once! Every month (yep, the party “resets” like a new round), the tickets are about to expire. The grown-ups shout: “Okay, time’s almost up! Do you want your candy right now, or save your ticket for the next big party next month?” Most kids go: “Nah, I’ll wait! Give me a new ticket for next time!” They just swap the old ticket for a fresh one — easy, no big deal. The party keeps going, the piñata gets refilled a tiny bit, and everyone stays happy playing other games. But sometimes… a bunch of kids get really excited (or hungry)! They start yelling: “No way! I want my candy NOW! Smash it today!” If too many kids decide that at the same time — whoosh! — they all run up with sticks, blindfolds off, swinging like crazy. The piñata bursts open way too fast, candy flies everywhere… but there aren’t enough pieces! Kids are diving on the ground, grabbing what they can, and some go home with empty hands. The lucky ones who snagged a big pile start trading: “I’ll give you two chocolates for your toy car!” Prices go wild because candy is suddenly super rare. The party planners (the grown-ups who gave out all those tickets) get super nervous. They might have to rush out and buy emergency bags of candy, or beg kids to wait longer, or even pay extra treats to calm everyone down. And guess what this whole crazy piñata ticket game is secretly a lot like? It’s exactly how the silver Comex rollover works in the grown-up world! The piñata is the real silver bars locked away safely.
The 200 tickets are all the “futures contracts” promising silver later.
But there are way more promises than actual silver ready to grab. Most people “roll over” their tickets to next month… but when more and more say “Gimme real SIlVER NOW!” — just like kids storming the piñata — things get exciting This is where we are today. Things get exciting as the Comex is about to go under and irrelevant.
