The Great Reset. Global corporate tax. Vaccine passports. Universal Basic Income. Green New Deal.
It isn't the Book of Revelation I'm worried about. It's the individuals who appear to be using it for world domination. Certainly we agree that it's too coordinated to be coincidental. Definitely words like "righteous" and "morality" are important, appropriate and accurate and no one should ever be barred from using them. But even their counterparts like "equality," "equity" and "justice" have been corrupted by the opposite by the other wing to have a stigma to them that was not originally intended. They were supposed to mean "equality of opportunity" "kindness, respecting and loving one's neighbor." When all the words you could possibly use have a stigma to them on one "side" or the other, it would seem that no choice could really be wrong, even if all of them have been redefined to leave a bitter aftertaste. A word that came to my mind, an old word, is iniquity, meaning "a false balance." The concept that a person or organization can decide what is best for others and take from the other what is not theirs, primarily a lust for power and control.
You posts are wealth of information and wisdom, OldCoin. Thank you.

This is exactly the type of division that illegitimate "authority" desire. For us to be divided based on our perceived differences, but if we are left or right, it doesn't matter, because they are still not on your side. They hate you both equally. It's a red herring that keep your mind off from their own activities. (I know you already said this, OldCoin.)
Big Marc, I'm a classical liberal. You have entirely legitimate perspective. It doesn't make it true, but it might be.
Sixgun, I'm an anarchist, which cannot include any individual wanting to take over control for themselves and be a warlord (Communists), because that would mean they are still Statists. I personally can't agree that the more to the right you go, the less authoritarian you are. Christianity is predominately right-wing. While it doesn't happen very often, some of them still burn books. Burning and banning books happened a lot in the past. That's authoritarian. But it doesn't matter to me if we disagree on something. You provide a lot of valuable information.
OldCoin, I grew up in a Baptist Church, debated Jehovah's witnesses, visited Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. There isn't a whole lot of doctrinal difference between them and the Baptists and Jehovah's Witness seem to think everyone else is going to hell. None of them realize that they've gotten most of their interpretations from Freemason gatekeepers and their all protestants out of the Catholic Church and they're all wrong 99% of the time. Even Catholics, who killed off all the dissenters after the 2nd century. Literally no one of them follow Jesus' teachings. An example: Jesus stated that when the end of the age took place, there would be some that were listening to his words that would witness it. Does anyone really believe that people have survived from two thousand years. It happened in AD70 and Nero was the Anti-Christ and I've yet to meet a Christian who isn't 99% wrong on their interpretation. But that doesn't matter to me at all. We are all iron and we have an opportunity to sharpen each other. We are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves.
BigMarc, I disagree with you more than many people on here, but that doesn't matter to me. I've still enjoyed reading your comments and I'm going to miss reading them.
The left wing needs a right wing. The right wing needs a left wing. Otherwise the damn bird won't fly. It's when we forget and start attacking each other that makes me conclude that the bird has gone suicidal.
I might not be able to claim I really know any of you, but I love all of you and this forum would not be what it is without you.
 
Ps. I know I'm a little late to the party.

(This is not quite what you were asking about, but having reread it, I'm not going to delete it, although the last paragraph comes close to what you're asking. The short answer is, above ground, unpurchased silver might be more rare at the moment. Below the ground, I don't know that anyone has an idea, but the final paragraph provides insight how silver would likely be rarer than gold before the end of the century.)
 
Here is an example that might give you more perspective and I will follow it up with a link. The value of silver has been manipulated a lot more than gold. It isn't that silver should be worth more than gold. It is that more is to be gained percentage-wise from owning silver. That is, should we be returned to a precious metals standard worldwide. I will point out that presently that would appear to be a very big if.
So these are the figures behind why silver has greater potential, but these are only United States figures: usdebtclock.org/gold-precious-metals.html.
It should be noted too that these are the official numbers. There was a news story about a college professor in my state who discovered a further discrepancy of 21 trillion dollars. Also the day before 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld announced a major discrepancy of trillions and the documents were supposedly stored at the Pentagon where the alleged planes allegedly crashed, making no claim one way or the other concerning the details of the official story. It's thought by some that an ounce of gold could be reevaluated at 100k. Whether that is true or not, no idea, but I do know that currently that is a little more than 7x the silver than gold, so theoretically, if gold is 100k US an ounce, silver--based on the numbers of silver bullion in the US--silver would be 14k an ounce. Again those numbers sound outrageous.
Another thing to consider. About 15% of gold is used industrially. 50% of silver is used industrially. Solar as well as electric cars depend heavily upon silver and copper, two technologies that have yet to achieve wide adoption. Of course a lot of other electronics use these metals as well, and one would be foolish to believe that no other tech in the future would use these metals, so the likelihood that silver could eventually be rarer than gold is not out of the question. Will it happen in our lifetimes? Not sure, but it doesn't have to because, when the people own a majority of the silver, the corporations will have to come to us and pay our prices or they won't be able to meet demand which means that holding silver, even for a poor normie, will make us very rich if we live long enough. Of course you can't eat silver, so make sure to have an extra freezer fully stocked with food or you might not live long enough to see it.

A further thought, particularly to the question of metals dealers being over hyped. To be objective they are a good sourse of market suply/demand, and they have their feelers out for every influencing dynamic effecting the market, so as long as they are honest and not giving financial advice-they provide excellent info to the market for investors to help them make descisions. I think to be fair to try and seperate their hype/speculations from their fair concerns. It's obvious some have raised some fair concerns and that has helped the market shift in a positive direction towards real price discovery and this move will help to expose further cracks showing us how fragile it really is.

Everyone has a right to put their analysis each way, but when one oppssing view blankets the said facts above as all hype it's more than a gross generalisation, so essencially hype also, just of an opposing kind.
These fair concerns that have been raised over many years not just Silver Squeeze (which is new) have benefited all dealers, as this investment group grows (and we all know the reasons obviously eg undervalued) And that's a good thing, the dealers are an important part of the market.

Now the Crypto crash and the building momentum in G+S might further help the demand on S to grow this year, and as the economyy further declines and inflation creeps in that demand will grow if not stay steady, it will be interesting to see if that demand can keep up, in any case I think something will be wrong if prices don't break last years high.
 
Thanks mate. The bickering doesnt help out collective plight, but sometimes it's fair each needs to vent off a little or get's a little passionate. Sometimes we all get a change in our understanding reflecting with others agreeing or not, can be amusing too.

I spent many years studying and am still studying Scriptures to tie it into or build my historical understanding with it as a foundation was the motivation, the journey has changed tack somewhat but the truth cant be known properly without that reference point, ultimately I'm a realist who wants the truth and best for everyone but I understand that things need to be in a certain order to get there and that has been washed or lost in many today. As for interpretation od said scriptures I have sought to correct the 27,000 mistranslations and misinterpretations, language dialectics, translations across 4 languages, word morphs etc. I'm well aware the majority of Christian Theology/interpretation is completely off and I have been excommunicated for bringing it to their attention. I've seen the Masons in the Bible Colleges. It's almost completely infiltrated by Satanists, or is promoting wokeism BS.
I enjoy your posts also, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Unless it's the "BBC" ?? 

One must question everything - that I believe, especially the MSM liars.

However, without a solid reason other than they do not like something then they are just propagandists themselves, and hypocrites to deny it's worth investigation, or vice versa.

If they don't like whats being said and just want to poo poo it and be abrasive and smear the whole forum as "propagandists" for defending people who've done nothing wrong, then call it for what it is.

"condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance"

I think it is a bit questionable to say those who are fighting for the manipulated price to correct to it's true value is "manipulation" if it is wouldn't that be just, considering it is a response to financial corruption, which everybody knows is rampant in the markets.
Sure the Silver dealers have talked up, but I think that's based on sound reason and the fact that the market cant beat the shorters until the demand exceeded supply. Covid and the inflation epidemic coming through wanton money printing has given a window to break the manipulation I think if someone has helped protect peoples investments by getting them out of the paper and into the physical market, they deserve their wage. 

Sure, dealers like yourself stand to profit from this by it's nature, but this again is only the product of the metal being manipulated in value for too too long, it's not their fault but they are in a good place to capitalize on it and so they should, they work very hard for it and I'm sure you agree in essence. So people fighting to see the market be honest and accountable are not the problem, but a response to the problem, they are not to blame but people will scapegoat them.
One day the spruikers will be congratulated for foreseeing the outcome and helping people get in at the right time.
The silver ratios make good sense as a buy factor, but as does the whole global economy and world situation has never been such a motivating factor to get in. Can they keep the fiat system going, well see. I'd rather have something real for my fake paper/plastic. We may never see such high GS ratio as we have previously, that's my bet. Were on the cusp of a new breakout if they can't hold it back, I truly believe it. If it doesn't break highs then that doesn't mean I'm wrong just that they maintain the manipulation.

I hope the Silver Squeeze fight back even harder, as this is not over yet, it's a war between good and evil as usual. Evil never rests.

I'm not suggesting anyone do anything but I do believe Adams has fought for the little guy.
What do you have to back up your claim, I'm in Australia and there are no reports of AGAG being crooks, they don't sell paper silver and show me a living witness or two's testimony that proves your claim or cease it because sounds false to me. AGAG as far as I know are reputable.
Adams wouldn't risk his career and reputation with them if they were not. So please put up or shut up and, in absence of the necessary proof of your claim admit you are wrong.

As i say i believe John Adams is doing a good job by bring the scam of unallocated precious metal vaulting to a much wider audience. i have posted about this for a few years on the forum. That eventually the suppression of the precious metal markets through paper metal will blow up once enough people realise the scam and take action. John Adams is part of #silversqueeze by doing just that. If he is getting some profit out of it - then good luck to him - we all have to earn to live - his message is true and needs to be heard.
If exposing the unallocated vaulting scam as a scam is his agenda then i support him. i would say the way he went at Peter Schiff for selling unallocated Perth Mint holdings was a bit OTT. It felt too personal to my liking but otherwise i don't see what he has done wrong.
Perth Mint was backstopping the COMEX with metal during the early days of the silver squeeze - this is why they ran dry. The Perth Mint said they have a ton of silver - as i remember 60 tonnes but when it came to delivery customers silver the cupboard was bare. They put out videos showing lots on silver but on close inspection those with eagle eyes spotted these videos were years old. They didn't have the silver and tried to hoodwink the public. 
If i had an employee going on a crusade albeit i supported what was said and he was running into legal expenses i am not sure i would be at the front of the queue to pay for this. If any money raised is spent on legal expenses there is no con.
Highlighting the wrongdoing on Perth Mint is not a con. If he is constantly exposing the truth of a situation this is not a con. It is troublesome to those he is attacking but it doesn't mean Adams is wrong.
Bullion dealers play a very small role in Wall Street Silver - #silversqueeze. It is dominated by private people.
This is truly a grassroots movement.

Ok i find it here:
In the past month, the Australian Border Force (i.e. Australia’s customs service) has made importing physical gold & silver EXTREMELY DIFFICULT over fears of tax evasion scams. Multiple Australian refiners & bullion dealerships have been impacted by MAJOR DELAYS. These delays have impacted bullion dealerships such as As Good As Gold Australia. Fortunately, it appears that some breakthroughs have been achieved in the past 7 days which will assist in meeting the demand of the Australian market.
i don't see anything here other than a statement that multiple bullion dealers have been having issues with getting supplies, with Australian customs being a reason. i don't see anything that would suggest Good as Gold or John Adams is running a con. Indeed quite the opposite - he is being upfront and broadcasting issues in the retail bullion market.
Kitco have come at Adams with a 'cease and desist'. Adams has claimed a number of notable dealers / mints did not have bullion when their unallocated clients asked for their metal. He has published exerts from many individuals who he says have been in contact with him.

That a mint / bullion dealer doesn't have the metal is an issue. It highlights the issue of unallocated bullion which has resulted in price suppression within the metals market. Metal created out of thin air, inflating the apparent amount of metal and so controlling / suppressing price. Adams has done a good job here. For many years there has been a scam by bullion banks where they took the money but never bought / vaulted the metal. i forget which bank got sued over vaulting and insurance fees they were charging when there was never any metal.

It doesn't surprise me that someone started lobbing legal paperwork his way. This is a usual tactic in an attempt to get someone to stop broadcasting something you don't want people to know. Let's see what happens - my hunch is Kitco will make noise and then shut up - if they went to court it could lead to full disclosure and they might not want to disclose certain pieces of information.

 

I got a email this morning form John Adam's, his latest newsletter. Some of you may have this info but for those who don't I felt it was a compelling update on the ETF/Perth Mint/Kitco basically the Silver Market manipulators are going after Adams legally but he's upping the ante. John has done a wonderful job defending the rights of investors in exposing the fraud's going on and the responsible parties, as has many others. I believe he deserves our support for the effort. Enjoy

  Dear all,
It has been a crazy 2 weeks as I have had to deal with a legal “Cease and Desist Notice” (C+D Notice) which was issued by law firm Dentons Australia Limited on behalf of their client Kitco Metals Incorporated (Kitco).
In the past 2 months, I have been on a global campaign calling out the risks of synthetic silver products (i.e. unallocated, pool allocated and exchange traded funds (ETFs)) to retail investors, especially in the instance where these products are not backed 100% with the requisite physical silver. This circumstance is referred to as ‘fractional reserve’.
This campaign has resulted in me butting heads with numerous organisations who have been known to have had questionable practices.
This campaign commenced in early March 2021 with my commentary about the Perth Mint based on real time information from Australian Perth Mint customers, but did not purely rest there.
Numerous organisations from both within Australia and overseas were included in my public remarks especially via twitter.
Of all the people in the world who could have been targeted by Kitco, I found it truly stunning that they would come after me, an Australian, when there are plenty of Americans and Canadians who could also have be targeted as well given that they have said similar things to what I have said on twitter.
For those who are unaware, on 29 April 2021 I received a C+D Notice which contained a list of demands from Kitco that required compliance within 24 hours otherwise they would take me straight to court seeking compensation for the ‘irreparable damage’ that I caused them.
Rather than submit to such intimidation tactics, I decided to push back.
Interestingly enough, the past 2 weeks have resulted in a series of twists and turns which has yet to result in litigation in court, however, the risk of this occurring has not subsided. These twists and turns include being hit by Dentons (supposedly the largest law firm in the world) with a "copyright infringement notice" for publishing the original C+D Notice on Twitter.
Nevertheless, my fight against the silver cabal – those actively involved in suppressing the silver price through an international pricing system which involves, at the retail level, diverting demand away from physical silver through synthetic silver products – continues unabated.
John Adams Legal Defence Fund
To be honest, I don’t know where this legal action is headed, but in order to give me enough flexibility to take on Kitco and now Dentons, I thought I would set up a legal defence fund last week that would give me more legal options come what may.
I have been overwhelmed with the amount of love and support I have received from all over the world. This has been more than what I could have ever imagined. Contributions have come in from Australia, America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, among other countries.
The faith and support which has been shown in me has renewed my sense of purpose in why I continue to do what I do. It has also crystalised the sense of responsibility that I carry in fighting to find and expose the truth (in both economic and political matters) and seek to help as many people navigate current and future turbulent conditions.
For those who want to either look at, or contribute to, the John Adams Legal Defence Fund, you can do so via the following link:

Australia's Federal Budget
The other critically important news of the past few days has been the Federal Budget here in Australia. Given that my laptop spent 2.5 days in the computer repair shop this week, I have only been having a critical look at the Federal Government’s official budget papers for the past 48 hours.
The scale of the economic and financial horror that the Morrison Government has unleashed on the Australian people is truly horrifying.
Much of this has been lost on the general public given that the mainstream media and ‘cash for comment’ economists refuse to fully explain the scale of the outrageous spending, the mounting debt and deficits as well as the economic and societal ramifications.
For those interested in my considered views, I will be publishing a new article on my website in the coming days and I will also be recording a new show with Martin North in our channel, "In the Interests of the People".
Seminar in Newcastle (NSW) – 19 May 2021
I am happy to announce that I will be hosting my second seminar for 2021 on 19 May 2021 which follows-up from my seminar from last month in Adelaide.
This upcoming event will be in Newcastle, NSW and I will be breaking down the debt nightmare which Australia is currently digging itself into.
Those politicians in Canberra are racking up debt with reckless abandon. Restraint and prudence have been thrown out the window.
The situation for Australia does look grim indeed and the consequences for not only ourselves but also for our children and grandchildren are horrifying.
For those interested in coming along and listening to my thoughts on the economy and what the future holds for Australia, you can register for the event through the following link:
The Australian Debt Nightmare - Say Goodbye To Your True Blue Childhood Tickets, Wed 19/05/2021 at 6:30 pm | Eventbrite
One on One Session with John Adams in Newcastle
One of the new innovations that As Good As Gold Australia (AGAGA) and I have launched this year is a series of one day ‘economic clinics’.
In these clinics, clients and prospective clients are able to meet with me for free one-on-one sessions which run for 30 to 60 minutes (depending on demand) where they have the opportunity to ask me any question you like about economics, finance, precious metals and even politics.
So far, I ran two successful economic clinics in March and April this year both of them in Adelaide at AGAGA’s corporate head office.
Given this success, I am pleased to inform you that I have made myself available to be at a corporate office in the Newcastle CBD on Thursday, 20 May 2021 for our next economic clinic. This will be the following day after the seminar on the evening of 19 May 2021 as mentioned above.
If you are considering purchases of precious metals and would like to ask clarify any outstanding questions or concerns, this would be a good opportunity to do so.
All you have to do is to e-mail me at john@asgoodasgoldaustralia.com and request a session and I will try to fit you in.
Australian Border Force
I would like to mention an important story relating to the bullion industry.
In the past month, the Australian Border Force (i.e. Australia’s customs service) has made importing physical gold & silver extremely difficult over fears of tax evasion scams. Multiple Australian refiners & bullion dealerships have been impacted by major delays.
These delays have been frustrating for the industry given the lack of communication and transparency by the Australian Border Force.
Constant promises of completing their regulatory process have been broken which means that scheduled releases of physical gold and silver from Australian ports have been delayed resulting in refiners and bullion dealerships unable to manufacture and deliver physical gold and silver products to the Australian retail bullion market in an adequate timeframe.
These delays have impacted bullion dealerships such as As Good As Gold Australia. For some of our clients, this has been a very frustrating experience, but I appreciate those who have shown tremendous patience during this situation.
Fortunately, it appears that some breakthroughs have been achieved in the past 7 days which will assist in meeting the demand of the Australian retail bullion market.
If anyone has any questions or concerns about the physical gold and silver supply chain and how this impacts the Australian retail bullion market, please feel free to contact me at john@adamseconomics.com.

This is why they lie. They lie to make people believe there is plenty of silver, no shortages, no chance of missing out, no chance a manufacturer will run short of supplies.
As long as they can keep enough people on the paper side of silver and away from physical it can and has worked. They can cycle price up and down, smashing price as they like, driving down morale amongst investors. They've done it for years. It all works as long as there is enough physical for those they cannot fob off. Once enough people start taking physical out of their system, once the actual level of actual physical in the inventories get exposed - then there is trouble for the price rigging cabal. The physical market then take over - they lose control b/c no longer do they have physical to dump into the physical market. They lose control over silver and this will spread to gold. 

What i am talking about isn't in the silver chart. Their system will have broken when it does.

The price of metal can and will be manipulated until there is no metal to sell at the rigged prices.
Breaking the current price manipulation means removing the physical from the control of the cabal. i posted showing that the SLV and LBMA lied about how much silver they had. They vastly inflated the amount to prevent a panic. This came about b/c of #silversqueeze. The LBMA has admitted the social media frenzy pushed their Ponzi system to the limit and nearly broke it. They had to lie to cover - they had no other way around the physical demands but to pretend they had a lot more.

Wall Street Silver now has 78.5k members - it grows everyday. This is getting a lot more coordinated now. It isn't a bunch of spotty faced kids with a pocket full of coins. 
For example WSS has transformed the Sprott PSLV silver trust - it now has more silver than the COMEX registered category.
You clearly don't believe / follow the significance of what is happening behind the scenes - the chart looks about the same so everything must be the same. 

Above average daily volume of shares in the PSLV already today at 7.6 million
i expect several 100 thousand ounces of silver will be added today.
Plot of PSLV held silver compared to registered silver in the COMEX. The PSLV is taking silver out of the hands of the cabal. This started when Wall Street Silver started #silversqueeze. It is making a difference - a bit difference. The price won't move dramatically until the cabal is drained of physical. The paper price can only be manipulated when there is at least some physical.
 

More people joining WSS - so expect the squeeze to get tighter over the coming months.
 

Also I bet the shorter's are shorting hard as it appeared before close to mitigate a squeeze

every ounce makes a difference and the word of mouth there is something on the boil even if it's going to take time eventually supply will run too thin and price will move.
Price will move in any case when the stimulus bubble bursts I think

Through Wall Street Silver there is a big push to ramp up the silver squeeze.  
The drive-by shooting of the COMEX silver market is at its 10th Anniversary on 1st May 2021.
There has been a called to members of the Reddit WSS group to buy 100 oz of silver. There is also a call to members of Kinesis to do the same. 
i expect this squeeze to carry on. There are now over 60 thousand WSS members and it is growing fast. This relentless pressure will blow up the COMEX.

Have finished the testing on a test site. The modifications to the Prize Draw application seem to be working. Will need to wait for the developer to submit their application and then we should be able to upgrade it from the forum's admin side. I am hoping that this will be sometime this week and that it will fix the Prize Draw application, but we won't know until we have tried it on TSF. Therefore please ignore any automatic announcements by the system, until I gave confirmed in this topic that the issue has been resolved.

I also want to reassure members that if it goes beyond the end of the month to fix it, that we will not loose out on the April 2021 Premium Member Prize Draw, and there will be a draw for this month even if we have to hold it on a subsequent date.  

Once again, apologies for this application being down. And I will post here when I have further updates. 

When working out the number of ounces I have in my stack I’ve always worked out the number of ounces in a kilo as 35.274. But I realised I maybe should be using troy ounces which is actually 32.150. Can anyone shed any light?

32.15 troy... 

I think you used one ounce (~28g) instead of the troy ounce (31.103g).
1000g (1kg) / 31.103g (1ozt) = 32.15ozt

Ignorance is bliss isn't it! 
... until SHTF and all types of things start happening xD

Wow 😮- very effective, poignant, questioning and provocative (in a good way) use of language there @Edeline - agree and empathise with your sentiments

Many (most?) people prefer a comfortable lie to an uncomfortable truth.  What saddens me is that when you sit down and talk to people about these issues - not just monetary, but other things in society that feel instinctively 'off' - they'll often agree with what you tell them, they just don't want to have to deal with it any further. Even when they can see the man behind the curtain, they'd rather ignore him and keep plodding on with the status quo.  I'm not sure I blame them.  The truth can be messy, inconvenient and frightening, and even knowing that the folks at the top are nudging us down a dark path, realistically, what can any of us really do?  I almost envy the sleepers sometimes.
