@roydherbert I expanded your theory to quantify the #Chronoflux equations to overlay them onto my Nichiren Buddhism practice to further bridge Chronoflux directly over Nichiren Buddhism. The parallels are direct! 🦋🕺🏻🌴 https://t.co/lI3GoevhC8
Many ancient temples in India boast levels of precision stonework and complex architecture that are truly remarkable.
Even more remarkable is the fact that many of these pillars can be fully rotated 360 degrees, as can many other components of these structures.
WHY?
Isn’t it strange…
If our civilization vanished tomorrow, almost everything we built would disappear within less than 20,000 years or so.
But some of the things still standing will be monuments we didn’t even build.
just think about that
2:00 PM: 🇺🇸 U.S. judge ordered the DOJ to unredact Jeffrey Epstein files which name alleged co-conspirators.
5:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump REJECTED Court order to hand over redacted Epstein files.
8:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump began bombing Iran. The war restarted.
You connect the dots.
Platinum Alert
PPLT ETF continues to maintain a very high borrowing fee to short shares.
Nearly no shares available to borrow at the moment.
Check out the price of platinum over the last year as it reacts to this unique situation.
In addition, the registered category of Platinum at the Nymex (which backs the futures contracts) have dropped over 12% in the last month. Platinum appears to be getting tighter.
The data shows that the People's Bank of China has been increasing its holdings of gold every month since May 2025. Since March of this year, there has been a significant acceleration in the purchase of gold. What does it mean?
The People's Bank of China has increased its holdings of gold for the 20th consecutive month, purchasing 14.93 t (480,000 ounces) of new gold in June. Today's PM markets data in China. July, 7, 2026.
How can one policy change by the Bank of Japan impact billions of people across the world?
Because Japan is not just Japan.
For decades, Japan has been one of the biggest sources of cheap funding for the global financial system.
Investors borrowed cheaply in yen, converted that money into dollars and other currencies, and bought higher-yielding assets across the world.
US bonds.
European bonds.
Emerging market debt.
Equities.
Real estate.
Credit.
Risk assets.
This is the yen carry trade.
It quietly helped keep global liquidity abundant, yields lower, borrowing easier, and asset prices higher.
But when the Bank of Japan changes policy, that machine starts reversing.
Investors need to buy back yen.
To buy back yen, they sell foreign assets.
When foreign assets are sold, liquidity disappears.
When liquidity disappears, yields rise.
When yields rise, borrowing becomes harder.
And the first place to feel the pressure will be emerging markets.
Foreign capital will flee the weakest and most leveraged countries first.
Currencies will fall.
Bond yields will rise.
Imported inflation will increase.
Central banks will be forced to defend currencies even when growth is slowing.
That is how a BOJ policy change moves from Tokyo to the daily lives of billions.
Governments will refinance debt at higher rates.
Corporates will face higher interest costs.
Consumers will get more expensive loans.
Housing will slow.
Equities will reprice.
Jobs will weaken.
Pensions will take hits.
The modern world is not built on savings.
It is built on debt.
Governments depend on cheap debt.
Corporates depend on cheap debt.
Consumers depend on cheap debt.
Asset prices depend on cheap debt.
So when one of the world’s biggest cheap-money engines starts shutting down, the world cannot adjust smoothly.
It has to reprice.
And when these changes fully kick in, there will be no more easy capital, no more endless refinancing, and no more cheap borrowing across the world.
The carry trade may begin in Japan.
But the shock will be global.
The above ground global platinum supply available for use is 2.0-2.5 million ounces. The deficit production in 2025 was approaching 1 million ounces and 2026 is still deeply in deficit production (almost 300K ounces ytd).
That is my answer to those who keep asking, "Are you still bullish platinum?"

IN A
THIMBLE
The Little Engine That Screamed
In a modest garage in Santa Ana, California, in 1945, Leroy “Roy” Cox began with wooden popguns. Metal was still scarce after the war, so he employed local housewives to turn out toys for children. When metal returned, he shifted to tether cars, small fast racers that ran on strings in circles.
A devastating fire in August 1946 destroyed his first operation, but Roy rebuilt quickly in a larger space on Poinsettia Avenue. By 1947 he was selling a complete racing tether car using outside engines and turning serious profit. In 1949 he designed his own .045 cubic-inch engine for those cars.
Then came the breakthrough.
Working with engineers Mark Mier and Bill Fogler, Roy spent eight months perfecting an entirely new engine, the .049 cubic-inch Space Bug. It entered full production in 1952 under the newly formalized L.M. Cox Manufacturing Company. The little two-stroke glow engine was a mechanical marvel. Its steel piston and cylinder were machined to tolerances of twenty-five millionths of an inch, thinner than a human hair, so no piston rings were needed.
A platinum-coil glow plug, briefly heated by a 1.5-volt battery, started the fire. Once running, the platinum acted as a catalyst with the methanol fuel, keeping combustion alive without a traditional spark. The exhaust carried the distinctive sweet-sharp scent of castor oil mixed in the fuel for lubrication.
The engine was tiny, cheap (around four dollars for later versions), and loud. It produced a high-pitched, furious whine, which those who heard it described as a swarm of angry hornets or something spinning faster than it had any right to.
The Soundtrack Of Saturday Morning In America
The sound quickly became the soundtrack of Saturday mornings across America. Boys mounted it on balsa-wood control-line planes, free-flight models, and even early radio-control experiments. It powered everything from simple trainers to detailed warbirds. In 1958, Cox engines drove the flying attractions in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, exposing millions more children to the thrill.
Innovation followed innovation. In 1955 and 1956, engineer William Selzer designed the Babe Bee with an extruded aluminum crankcase, making it lighter, stronger, and easier to produce. It sold for $3.95 and became one of the most successful model engines ever. In 1960 Roy hired legendary engine designer Bill Atwood, who created the high-performance Tee Dee series.
The 1961 front-rotary-valve TD .049 could reach 30,000 RPM, an astonishing speed for such a small displacement. The company grew rapidly. By the early 1960s it occupied a 225,000-square-foot facility and was producing well over a million engines a year at peak, outpacing every competitor in the world combined. It employed hundreds and expanded into ready-to-fly airplanes, slot cars (briefly a huge success, then a bust), boats, and more.
Roy Cox had become the most successful model-engine manufacturer on earth. But in 1969, after the death of his wife Myrtle and amid his own health struggles, he sold the company to Leisure Dynamics. He retired. The brand continued under new ownership, expanding its product lines, but the original garage-inventor spirit began to fade. Leisure Dynamics faced bankruptcy in 1980. Roy Cox himself died in 1981 at age 75.
A former Cox executive, Bill Selzer, bought the company out of bankruptcy in 1983 and returned manufacturing to Santa Ana. For a time the business flourished again with new products and larger facilities, moving to Corona, California, in 1990.
The 50th anniversary was celebrated in 1995 with fresh engine designs and ready-to-fly models still in production.

India To Relaunch Gold Monetization Scheme as Government Seeks to Unlock Idle Bullion
If successful, the policy would gradually reduce the need to exchange rupees for dollars simply to satisfy domestic gold demand.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
I CALLED IT, ANIMALS, AND YOU LAUGHED!!! Months ago I told you ICE would buy facilities DIRECTLY from the prison companies at north of $150,000 per bed — and I was WRONG, folks, it was BETTER!!! ICE just bought TWO facilities from CoreCivic — $CXW — for $1.47 BILLION!!! That's $286,000 per bed in California City, $371,000 PER BED at Otay Mesa, $323,000 a bed COMBINED — DOUBLE what these things cost to build!!! Even I underestimated the beauty, and I NEVER underestimate!!!
AND WHO OWNS $CXW??? DONALD TRUMP!!! It's RIGHT THERE in the disclosure, folks — the man holds CoreCivic AND GEO Group, the two companies running America's ICE detention centers!!! Follow the bouncing ball: HE runs the immigration crackdown!!! HIS DHS just wired $1.47 billion to a company HE OWNS SHARES IN, at DOUBLE replacement cost!!! The buyer is his government, the seller is his portfolio, and the taxpayer is the ATM!!! That's not a conflict of interest, that's a CLOSED LOOP!!!
And the STRUCTURE is a masterpiece: DHS buys the buildings, but CoreCivic KEEPS OPERATING them under the same contracts!!! Sold the real estate, KEPT the revenue — like selling your house and the buyer pays YOU rent!!! Gain north of $1 BILLION on assets carried at PENNIES!!!
THE DE-LEVERING — exactly like I told you: $716 MILLION of debt GONE overnight!!! Credit facility, GONE!!! The 2027 notes, GONE!!! And that puts them under the covenant thresholds that unlock UNLIMITED BUYBACKS with the $400 million left over!!! Fewer shares, folks — and whose shares get more valuable??? DONALD'S!!!
AND THE SEQUEL IS COMING: CoreCivic says it's in talks with ICE to sell MORE facilities!!! The machine runs forever: sign the orders, fill the beds, sell the buildings to yourself at double price, buy back the stock, watch the disclosure GLOW!!! One catch the animals should know — ICE can cancel those operating contracts anytime, so read the covenants before you chase!!! Do your own research, NOT advice!!! Is ANYBODY looking into this??? The SEC??? He APPOINTS the SEC!!! I called the trade, the price, AND the de-levering — GREATEST prison analyst in American history, maybe ever!!!
