Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
All the Covid revelations coming out of the US with indictments, the FDA coming clean on the damage the vaccines have caused in adults and CHILDREN is a ‘scare event’, because it’s coming from the government and media and will shock the core of millions.
The BBC have been soft pilling the UK public reporting on ‘what could be causing the massive rise in cancers, heart problems in young people in the last 5 years’.
Sometimes it takes shock and awe to wake people up and FEEL the truth in their heart.
Not every psychological plan is going to be pretty.
This is the Art of War.
GO TO YOUR KITCHEN RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT YOUR SALT.
If it is pure white, perfectly uniform, and pours smoothly out of a shaker, you are not eating salt. You are eating a chemical byproduct.
Real salt from the earth or the sea is never pure white. It is pink, grey, or slightly brown. It clumps together because it naturally absorbs moisture. It contains over 80 trace minerals—magnesium, potassium, calcium—that your body requires to conduct electricity, hydrate cells, and maintain a heartbeat.
They hid this from you. They took real salt, heated it to 1,200 degrees, stripped away every single mineral except sodium and chloride, and bleached it white. Then they added anti-caking agents like sodium aluminosilicate—a compound containing aluminum, a known neurotoxin.
This is table salt. It is an industrial chemical.
When you eat it, your body recognizes it as a poison. It pulls water from your cells to dilute the toxic sodium chloride, causing cellular dehydration, high blood pressure, and kidney strain.
Then your doctor tells you that "salt causes high blood pressure" and puts you on a low-sodium diet.
Salt does not cause high blood pressure. Bleached, mineral-stripped, chemical-laden industrial sodium chloride causes high blood pressure.
Your body is an electrical machine. It runs on minerals. They removed the minerals, sold you the poison, and then sold you the medication to treat the symptoms.
Throw the white salt away.

@goldseek@laimeerobertson Does the situation now arise, now silver has been labelled a critical resource, governments can demand buy back from the public?
In 1929, Roger Babson warned that a massive crash was coming.
Wall Street laughed.
47 days later, they lost everything.
Babson wasn’t guessing — he’d mapped a 5-stage pattern that shows up before every major collapse.
It appeared before the crashes of 1987, 2000, and 2008.
Today, 4 out of 5 stages are flashing red again:
10 reasons this silver run is nothing like 1980 or 2011
Everyone keeps asking:
“Is silver just going to spike and crash like last time?”
Short answer: I don’t think so.
Here are 10 reasons this run is different from the last big peaks (1980, 2011, 2020‑21).
__________________
1️⃣ This time, INDUSTRY is in the driver’s seat 🚗⚡
1980 was driven by inflation panic + the Hunt brothers trying to corner the market.
2011 was driven by QE / debt panic and ETF / retail speculation.
Today’s move is being pulled by real‑world demand:
• Solar panels
• EVs and charging
• Data centers & AI hardware
• 5G, electronics, medical tech
Silver isn’t just “fear metal” anymore. It’s wiring the modern world, and that demand doesn’t disappear just because traders get bored.
__________________
2️⃣ We’re in a genuine multi‑year DEFICIT 🩸
In 1980 and 2011, high prices quickly pulled out extra supply – mines ramped, scrap flooded the market, and the spike died.
Right now we’ve had consecutive years where the world uses more silver than it produces.
That gap has been getting wider, not smaller.
• Industry keeps using more
• Mine supply is flat to down
• Above‑ground inventories are being drawn down
That’s a structural shortfall, not a one‑off squeeze.
__________________
3️⃣ Silver is now a “CRITICAL MINERAL” 🛡️
Back then, governments were literally selling silver out of stockpiles.
In 2025, the U.S. officially added silver to its Critical Minerals list.
Translation:
“If this metal gets disrupted, our tech, energy and defense sectors have a problem.”
That puts silver in the same strategic bucket as things like copper, uranium and rare earths.
We’ve never had a silver bull market where policy, national security and tech strategy are all pushing the same metal.
__________________
4️⃣ The technical setup is a 45‑YEAR base, not a blow‑off spike 📈
1980 & 2011 were vertical rockets into the ~$50 ceiling.
Both collapsed as fast as they rose.
This run is coming out of:
• A huge cup‑and‑handle that started with the 1980 high, bottomed in the 90s/early 2000s, and finished at the 2011 high
• A long ascending triangle from ~2019–2024 with higher lows pressing against a flat resistance band
We’ve basically had four decades of pressure under the same lid.
Breaking $50 now isn’t just “another spike”, it’s the lid blowing off the biggest base silver has ever built.
__________________
5️⃣ There’s a whole staircase of SUPPORT underneath 🪜
Before, silver went vertical and had almost no structure underneath. When it cracked, there was nothing to catch it.
This cycle:
• 2015 gave a major low
• 2018 and the 2020 crash retested and held higher
• 2021–24 built a long sideways range
• $21 → $26–28 → $30+ have all flipped from resistance into support
That’s a bull market staircase: each floor gets defended on pullbacks.
It doesn’t mean there won’t be scary corrections… but a full round‑trip back to teens now has to slice through multiple strong support zones.

6️⃣ In REAL terms, silver is still cheap 😶🌫️
Everyone sees “$50 silver” and thinks “bubble.”
But adjust for inflation and the 1980 high would be roughly 4–5× today’s price.
Add in the gold/silver ratio:
• 1980 mania: ratio briefly ~17:1
• Recent years: often 70–90:1
So even with this run, silver is:
• Way below its 1980 peak in purchasing‑power terms
• Still historically cheap vs gold
That looks much more like an early repricing than a final blow‑off top.

7️⃣ Energy transition demand is “sticky,” not optional 🌞🚙
Old peaks were big on:
• Photography
• Tableware & jewelry
• Investment coins
Those can vanish fast when price spikes.
Now a huge chunk of demand is baked into long‑term projects:
• Governments have 2030–2050 solar & EV targets
• Grid upgrades and AI/data centers are multi‑year build‑outs
• The silver cost per panel / car / chip is tiny vs the total product price
Even at much higher prices, most of that demand doesn’t go away, it just becomes a line item in the cost of electrifying everything.
__________________
8️⃣ Supply response is slow and constrained ⛏️
After 1980 and 2011, higher prices = new mines + big scrap flows. Problem “fixed.”
Today:
• ~70% of silver is mined as a by‑product of other metals
• Years of under‑investment + tough permitting have created a mine supply lag
• ESG and environmental rules make big, fast, dirty expansions politically toxic
So even if the price screams higher, you can’t just flip a switch and make the deficit disappear in a year or two.
__________________
9️⃣ The macro story is bigger than “inflation panic” 🌍
Past peaks were basically one‑line narratives:
• 1980: double‑digit CPI + Hunt brothers
• 2011: QE, Euro debt, “end of the dollar” chatter
• 2020–21: COVID + money‑printing + Reddit hype
Now silver sits at the intersection of:
• Currency & debt worries
• AI and data‑center build‑outs
• EV + grid + solar megatrends
• Geopolitics & resource security
That’s multiple secular forces all pulling on the same small market.

🔟 We have tight PHYSICAL… but not full-blown public mania (yet) 😏
1980: lines out the door at coin shops, wall‑to‑wall media coverage, one family trying to corner COMEX.
2011: everyone and their barber talking about silver ETFs and “$100 soon.”
Today:
• We’re seeing tight physical in key hubs, premiums at times, and persistent deficits
• But the average person still isn’t stacking in size
• U.S. retail bar/coin demand has actually been soft at points, even as Asia and Europe quietly take metal
That suggests this run has been driven more by fundamentals + smart money than by late‑stage FOMO.
If/when the public really wakes up, that could be the second phase of the move, not the end.

Bottom line 🧠
Could silver still be volatile and scary? 100%.
Could we see big corrections along the way? Absolutely.
But when you zoom out:
• Structural deficit
• Strategic‑metal status
• 45‑year technical base
• Energy + AI demand
• Sluggish supply
…this run has deeper roots than the last big spikes.
It’s less “Hunt Brothers 2.0” and more a global repricing of a metal the world can’t function without.
