What Have We Learned?

Precious Metal Manipulation, Market Manipulation, Your Manipulation.

Are We Under Attack by Our Own Failings?

I am constantly amazed how one article leads to the next article as events unfold and the nexus of all the issues is fraud. This Article can be seen as the extension to Got Metals linked above.

First, can anybody tell me what changed with regard to the U.S. National Debt level or the school district bond fraud or the U.S. National Deficits, in the last 24 hours leading up to the January 30^th, 2026 precious metals crash? The only thing that changed is the U.S. National Debt grew larger and is increasing by the nano-second.

We anticipated and stated so on video, “face ripping volatility” and explained the Expected Move. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjA83U5xxnY. Then 2 days later we released another video,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n3lhFNDU2M . 

So, what happened to cause the crash on January 30th? This is going to be interesting!

As a reminder, Oil futures experienced a significant crash on April 20, 2020, when the price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell to around -$37 (negative $37) a barrel, marking the first time in history that oil futures traded below zero.  This collapse was primarily due to a drastic drop in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and an oversupply of crude oil. Obviously, this did not last long. Had a tanker been available to purchase and stuffed with almost free crude, that value would have been a stellar rate of return.

How is the crash of precious metals, any different than the crash of crude oil? It isn’t, except for one thing, and that thing is manipulation, if not, outright fraud and criminal activity.

The Kevin Warsh story:

Now, let’s start with some of the noise that was proffered by the idiot press wherein the markets (indexes) and precious metals crashed because of the appointment of Kevin Warsh for the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor, who allegedly morphed into a persistent Fed critic and who allegedly is a believer in precious metals, as is Stan Druckenmiller and Scott Bessent, all of whom fall from under the auspices of George Soros. These 3 men, if held to their statements and presentations, may lead to a possible solution of the impossible, to pay off debt load created by the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury. See the above link to article, The Federal Reserve is a Failure. On the other hand, the very murky world of George Soros casts a long shadow on which society should take note and be very cautious of the Trojan Horse.

Why would President Donald Trump select Kevin Warsh to serve as the next chair of the Fed? It is because Mr. Warsh is a well-known critic of the U.S. central bank and President Trump wants interest rates lowered.

President Trump made the announcement on Truth Social at 6:48 a.m. Eastern, January 30, 2026, the day silver crashed 30% and then started to pull up at the close for the largest one day drop in its history.

Warsh was the youngest Fed governor in history when he joined the bank's board of governors in 2006, becoming a member of Fed Chair Ben Bernanke's inner circle during the global financial crisis of 2008.

Bernanke embraced Warsh after he had been a top economic-policy staffer for President George W. Bush, and the Fed chief was eager to maintain open communication with the Bush administration during the early stages of the financial crisis.

Warsh eventually broke with Bernanke and resigned his post in 2011, agreeing with Republican critics who argued that the Fed chair's unprecedented bond-buying program to keep long-term rates low following the crisis, known as quantitative easing, gave the central bank too much sway over financial markets.

Warsh has kept up this criticism of the Fed's balance sheet ever since.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has echoed these criticisms in his public remarks.

Warsh is married to billionaire Estée Lauder (EL) heiress Jane Lauder.  Since leaving the Fed in 2011, Warsh's work has included serving as a lecturer at Stanford University's business school and as a visiting fellow at the university's Hoover Institution, a conservative-leaning think tank. He is a partner in billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller's investment firm.  He also has been on the board of directors for the shipping company UPS.

According to the press, “Economists say that having been selected by Trump, it is a given that Warsh will push for rate cuts in 2026. Can he convince his new central-bank colleagues to go along with easing”? The probability is high due to political pressure. However...

Also, according to the press “When the Fed rate cuts are enacted, borrowing costs tend to drop across the board for consumers” and this proves the inability or willful intent of the press to think. Government’s costs of borrowing are distinct from the long end of the curve which is based more on perceived risk and there is no shortage of perceived risk.

I want to address several items in the Kevin Warsh story:

1. The Federal Reserve is an employment shop for wayward economists who’s existence has spun the greatest financial fraud ever perpetrated on the planet. In 1913 the year the Federal Reserve was created the U.S. Dollar was valued at 1017 and today is 30. That is irrefutable proof that it is the Federal Reserve and U.S Treasury (printer) that has destroyed the U.S. dollar by 97% (inflation) and transferred that liability to the back of every taxpayer.
2. If Mr. Warsh, made a statement with reference to the fact in #1 above, he would establish a start of credibility and lay the ground work for the heavy lifting that is necessary to fix the National Debt not just of the U.S. but of many sovereign nations. I am very hesitant because in my lifetime, every Federal Reserve chairman failed as did the Federal Reserve in its entirety as this organization does not exist for the benefit of society and only exists for the benefit of the banks by transferring public wealth into the banking system in perpetuity. See Chain the Doors of the Federal Reserve .
3. No government on the planet and in the history of the planet can outrun the Rule of 72 nor can they outrun reverse amortization which is the creation of the Federal Reserve which is the printing of money not backed by assets to pay for the deficit which is used to cover off the compound cumulative interest of the U.S. National Debt.
4. When you start stacking the infrastructure problems. plus the defaulting private equity (i.e. Blackrock). plus the property tax fraud, plus school district bond fraud, plus the socialist fraud (Minneapolis, L.A., Boston, etc. etc.) the structural problems all correlate to the interest rates which resulted from printing of money not backed by assets. It is good if President Trump can bring the government’s borrowing rate down, but he can’t bring the long bond down (money available to the public), and as long as the Federal Reserve exists they will print the bank’s cocaine, therefore causing the compound cumulative deficits (M2, U.S. National Debt, school district bond fraud, unfunded liabilities) and transferring the liabilities to all citizens which do not have the money to pay for financial sins of the Federal Reserve and the governments who practice socialism on the backs of the very citizens who produce the goods and services, while they the government officials siphon off the money in between (i.e. Minneapolis).
5. Recasting the Fiat into some other currency is a wasted effort because there is nothing to stop the Fed from blowing the bubble again. As long as the Federal Reserve exists the crisis of confidence will grow to the point of self-termination because socialism ends when you run out of other people’s money and thus proof of the Institutionalized Systemic Moral Hazard by not enforcing the black letter of the law.

Do you really want to leave your money in a bank that can hand you back a share in their bankrupt bank via a bail-in?

Or would you rather have assets (Metals) outside of the banking system which is under your control and not subject to wherever the manipulation is coming from, including the Federal Reserve?

For those who want to understand more about the Fed I highly recommend SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE - The London Connection, by Eustace Mullins.

To be crystal clear, society can’t fix what it can’t define, and either can the Federal Reserve or any well-intentioned employee of the Federal Reserve or U.S. Treasury or any government official for that matter. We want our government officials to be successful for the benefit of society, but placating the public by omission or pure lies, for what has turned out to be nefarious purposes only delays the inevitable default. I pray that Mr. Warsh and Mr. Bessent can devise a plan to peel back the fraudulent interest, and eliminate the fraudulent principal, thus allowing interest rates to fall which they would, but not if the fraud remains and is allowed to continue its trajectory of compounding. Long interest rates which affect homeowners and commercial borrowers are affected by perceived risk. If the risk is high, then so are the corresponding interest rates.

Mr. Bessent, this week, made a comment about not wanting to hurt homeowners. One should separate new home purchases from existing homeowners in older homes and I have the evidence of this topic on my website which is also stated in the Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court of Texas. If you want to keep housing prices high (new homes), then the only solution is to Repeal All Property Tax in favor of the Uniform States Sales Tax, put the school districts that can’t pay off their bonds within 3 years into bankruptcy and flush the $5.1 Trillion of bond fraud off the back of the taxpayers.  This fact is outline in the Bill I created for Helen Kerwin the Texas State Representative which can be seen here, Bill to repeal real estate tax in favor of Uniform States Sales Tax. This is the only solution that fixes the problem and is applicable across the U.S. thus affecting every property owner and, in reality, every citizen. Now, the only question is what are you the politicians going to do about it? Are you the politicians going to be the puppet of the socialist Federal Reserve and it’s minion banks, or are you going to fix the problem and Terminate the Fed and start peeling back the fraudulent compound interest, while simultaneously wining the mid-term elections as President Trump would be the first President in history to stop the pending bankruptcy of roughly 42,000,000 households?

We know the problem and we know the solution. The interest clock is ticking, by the nano-second. What is it to be? Are we going to fix the well-defined problem (www.mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad) or are you the politicians, Federal Reserve, and state’s executive branches going to let the defaults occur, ending in massive bankruptcies and probably worse.

Pseudo Capitalism is not Free Market Capitalism.         
No Constitutional Republic’s Government should pick winners and losers and to this point, picking bitcoin or any other coin, crypto etc. is not the place of any government. Picking winners and losers is one component of socialist behavior. Bitcoin is no longer what it was intended to be, and unless tied to commodities, is nothing more than a speculative instrument, which at this moment, there is justification for a $60,000 valuation based on technical analysis. We know the problem. Are you the politicians going to fix it?

Do you believe, as the press would have you believe, that the Kevin Warsh appointment caused the pullback in precious metals?

Do you believe, as the press would have you believe, that the Kevin Warsh appointment caused the pullback in Bitcoin?

One must acknowledge that there is an ongoing effort by both individuals within and external individuals and nations outside of our country with intent to destroy Western Civilization.  The only reason social unrest is occurring is that it is being funded for the intent to destabilize society. Destabilizing society can also be done through compound interest and fraudulent bond debt. Destabilizing society can also be done, by triggering algorithms where in the expected circuit breakers are disconnected and this can only be for nefarious purposes. https://www.cmegroup.com/education/articles-and-reports/understanding-price-limits-and-circuit-breakers

A fast education on the facts:

There are currently 13 registered stock exchanges operating in the United States, with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq being the two major ones. In addition to the major exchanges, several smaller exchanges exist, including; Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Commodities, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Futures and options trading, Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) Options trading, and (Cboe) Options Exchange Options trading. These exchanges facilitate trading in various financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, and derivatives. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is crucial for precious metals as it serves as the primary market for trading futures and options in metals like gold and silver, influencing global prices and providing a platform for risk management. It allows traders to hedge against price fluctuations and facilitate liquidity in the precious metals market. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), particularly through its COMEX division, sets benchmark prices for precious metals like gold and silver through futures contracts, which are widely traded.  These prices influence the valuation of physical bullion and other financial products, impacting global market prices.

The Month That Was.

January 2026 will be remembered as a historic month for precious metals, with extreme upside followed by a dramatic reversal, showcasing just how volatile bull markets can be. Silver delivered one of its strongest monthly performances on record, opening the year near $70 on January 1, 2026, before surging to a new all-time nominal price high of approximately $121 on January 29, 2026. Gold also posted remarkable gains, briefly touching nearly $5,600 per ounce during the week of January 26–29, 2026, confirming that investor demand extended across the precious metals complex. The month ended with a historic correction, as silver fell over 30% in roughly one day, plunging from a $121 per ounce high to an intraday low just below $75 within 30 hours between January 29–30, 2026. In less than 30 hours, silver collapsed from its January 29 high near $121 to an intraday low just under $75 on January 30, a brutal reminder of silver’s leverage-driven volatility. Even after that waterfall move lower, silver still closed the week and month near $85.26 per ounce on January 30, 2026, a level that would have seemed wildly bullish just a year earlier. Gold weathered the volatility better, finishing the week and month around $4,894 per ounce on January 30, 2026, after backing off its late-January highs. The gold-to-silver ratio snapped higher during the selloff, jumping from the mid-40s earlier in January to roughly 57:1 on January 30, 2026, reflecting silver’s outsized downside move rather than weakness in gold. Importantly, physical demand showed little sign of cracking during the paper-price chaos, with continued drawdowns from Western vaults and strong buying interest across Asia throughout late January. The takeaway is simple: January 2026 delivered historic gains, historic volatility, and a face ripping correction, but nothing negates the larger precious-metals trend driven by fraudulent debt, fraudulent compound cumulative interest which leads to currency debasement, and the tightening physical supply of precious metals and commodities.

Balancing Act or Fraudulent Manipulation?

Consider Friday November 28^th, 2025 (oil) and now also January 30, 2026 (gold).

On the day of the halt (November 28^th, 2025), trading was interrupted across a huge swath of CME markets:

• Futures
• Derivatives
• Currencies
• Gold and silver

The official story:

The data center exceeded its cooling capacity; servers overheated; trading was halted. The global financial system ran into one of its strangest “technical failures” in decades when the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the world’s most important derivatives market, went dark for more than ten hours. The official line was that a “cooling failure” at the Aurora, Illinois data center that hosts the CME’s servers caused the shutdown. Plenty of traders saw right through it, with some openly calling it intentional market manipulation. Given the outage hit just as silver was finally breaking out of the range it has been stuck in since its 1980 nominal high. This makes the timing extremely suspicious, irrespective of whatever narrative they’re pushing. The CME group, the derivatives and commodities futures exchange, have spent billions on hardware and software to ensure this type of situation does not occur. They run the CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT. All key pieces of plumbing in the global financial system. This “outage” specifically knocked out the CME’s core systems. Meaning derivatives trading across key asset classes including currencies, stock futures, and commodities all went offline. In the CME Group’s own words, there was a “critical failure” at the CyrusOne data center in Aurora. We eventually learned that this “critical failure” was, supposedly, a cooling system ceasing to function. The breakdown began just before 03:00 GMT, leaving traders essentially working blindfolded.

Could a “critical failure” be true? Yes.

However, the date of the event outlined above was November 28, 2025.

So, how does one explain January 30, 2026, just a few months later?

The more plausible explanation is Liar Liar pants on Fire. Why? Because the same corporate speak is being floated again. This leads to the question of manipulation and who benefits?

For systemically important financial entities like the CME, CyrusOne provide what’s known as 2N redundancy. In their own words, this means duplicating everything for a client, to ensure that no downtime occurs in the event of a problem. In practice, this means two completely independent infrastructure paths, each mirroring the exact same information, and capable of carrying 100% of the load. If one path fails, the other instantly takes over and keeps everything running. 2N means every mission-critical component is duplicated:

• Two independent power feeds (each able to run the whole facility)
• Two fully separate UPS systems
• Two generator farms
• Two electrical distribution paths
• Two isolated network paths
• Two completely independent cooling systems, each able to handle full thermal load on its own.

Knowing the above, it is clear that a Federal investigation is in order.

Was the CME Protecting The System, or a Systemically Important Client including the CME itself?

The consequences of the halt are enormous. Traders across multiple regions found themselves unable to close positions, modify exposure, execute hedges, or manage leverage. This is not a minor inconvenience; it can have enormous ramifications for anyone with open positions. At the same time, it could have been extremely useful for a large bank or hedge fund that suddenly found itself on the wrong side of a large derivatives bet. With pricing essentially frozen, losses could be paused and time bought to devise a strategy to swing markets back in the opposite direction.  Who received the benefit?

Which brings us to The Crux of the Matter:

Trading in a major China-listed silver fund was halted for a full session on January 30 as regulators moved to contain price distortions (allegedly), while global silver prices fell sharply from record highs amid elevated volatility and tighter derivatives margin requirements.

China’s Shenzhen Stock Exchange suspended trading for the entire day on January 30 in the UBS SDIC Silver Futures Fund LOF, according to an official fund announcement.  The notice stated that trading would be halted from the market open through the close as part of exchange risk-control measures.

Chinese financial media reported that the halt followed sustained abnormal trading conditions, with the fund’s secondary-market price diverging materially from its net asset value.  Coverage described the suspension as a regulatory response to excessive premiums and repeated risk warnings rather than a change in the underlying structure of the fund.

Was this intentional? Was this action(s) criminal? Was this a coordinated attack on our financial system?

What are the ramifications? The algorithms kicked in and kept going as there was no circuit breaker at the exchanges. Independent exchanges and no circuit breaker at 10% down. How is this possible? I have seen circuit breakers on $5 stocks. What happened?? Who got the benefit?

Events Leading to the Failure:  On January 30, 2026, the silver market experienced a dramatic crash, with prices plummeting nearly 33% in a single day. This sell-off was triggered by several factors as outlined herein.

Algorithmic Trading: The market faced cascading liquidations due to algorithmic trading systems reacting to the sudden price drop. These systems automatically sold off positions when certain price thresholds were breached, exacerbating the decline.

Regulatory Intervention: The CME Group had recently increased margin requirements for silver, which forced many leveraged investors to liquidate their positions, further driving down prices.

Technical Issues: While the CME's circuit breakers are intended to activate during extreme price movements, the rapid and severe nature of the selloff on January 30 allegedly overwhelmed the system. The combination of high volatility, forced liquidations, and algorithmic trading created a situation where the circuit breakers did not function effectively (whether utilized by the CME on silver or not) to halt trading and stabilize the market. However, as outlined above, this statement is nonsense if not outright manipulation of federal markets.

As a result of the precious metals crash, would our government, in order to save the Comex and LBMA, Chicago Merc and perhaps other exchanges, unwind all the trades of Friday and prohibit the manipulators from taking any metals out of the country?  

This brings us to a question.

Are We Under Attack by Our Own Failings?

The Mavex case now at the SCOTX (see The Importance of the Vexler Case to Texas) proves how the system was designed and or morphed to ignore the black letter of the law being the laws established under the Republic created under the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitutions of all States in favor of both equity stripping money from all property owners at a state level and at the federal level allowing the printing of money not backed by assets both of which create inflation, compound cumulative interest and compound fraud. Could it not be said that we, as clear critical thinking individuals, have not been vocal and involved enough to force the politicians to adhere to the law and the failing of the Judges only makes society weaker to the point that gaping holes in our own security have been breached by foreign sovereign nations and individual who intend to destroy the American way of life and the U.S. Constitution?

In Minnesota, where immigrants both illegal and strategically placed by Obama and Biden are now being exposed for fraud around various social services, stealing billions from US taxpayers in the process.  This is accomplished with fake companies, NGOs which distribute the loot between the immigrant thieves, the politicians such as Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Democratic (socialist) Party itself, to keep operations going.  How was this allowed to happen? The answer is no checks and balances by intent and a weak judicial body that has allowed laws to be ignored without understanding the ramifications of that weakness and from which our adversaries, both domestic and international, walked right through the legal gap to steal more taxpayer money.

Imperial Decree of Declaration of war against foreign powers:

The Imperial Decree of declaration of war against foreign powers was a simultaneous declaration of war by the Qing dynasty on June 21, 1900, against eleven foreign powers which held varying degrees of influence in China: Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The declaration of war was one of the Eight-Nation Alliance's formation, which then led to Boxer Protocol. This Imperial decree was officially issued in the name of Guangxu Emperor, bearing his official Imperial seal.

The 1901 protocol is commonly known as the Boxer Protocol or Peace Agreement between the Great Powers and China in English. It is known as the Xinchou Treaty or Beijing protocol in Chinese, where "Xinchou" refers to the year (1901) of signature under the sexagenary cycle system. The full English name of the protocol is Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, United States and China – Final Protocol for the Settlement of the Disturbances of 1900, reflecting its nature as a diplomatic protocol rather than a peace treaty at the time of signature.

China has a long memory. In recent years, China has indicated a willingness to engage in economic warfare against Western countries, particularly in response to perceived threats and sanctions.  This includes potential actions like selling off U.S. Treasury debt as a form of retaliation, reflecting a strategy of using financial means to assert its interests. China can use its investments in countries (i.e. Canada, Africa, Australia etc.) especially if those countries disagree with a current issue in China, as economic warfare as the investment in that country by China becomes debt enslavement.

Chinese state-backed hackers compromised the mobile phones of senior officials in Downing Street over several years, specifically targeting aides to former Prime Ministers Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak from 2021 to 2024. This operation is part of a broader espionage campaign known as Salt Typhoon.

There is no definitive evidence, yet that China directly hacked the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). However, there have been cases of individuals, like a former CME employee, who were involved in stealing trade secrets to benefit Chinese interests, which raises concerns about cybersecurity and intellectual property theft related to the exchange.

On Friday January 30, 2026, did we witness a coordinated attack on the stock market and precious metals market perhaps utilizing puts that were bought, knowing that the algorithms would kick in for the halting of UBS SDIC Silver Futures Fund LOF, and perhaps having control over the circuit breakers causing severe economic losses and setting up the winner to force delivery of the metals? 

Did the CME participate in the manipulation in order to save itself or on behalf of a VIP client?

It might be a good idea for the exchanges (who’s credibility is now under high suspicion) plus the FBI, DOJ, and SEC to launch an immediate investigation into the hardware they are using to find the security breach.

China’s debt to GDP is roughly 300 and that is motive.

Gold and Silver as Savings, or Investment?          
Gold and silver coins and bars have been used as a method of saving for centuries. In ancient Rome, centurions and foot soldiers would go to war and bury their savings for safekeeping. Farmers buried gold and silver coins during the civil war when soldiers were nearby to guard against looting. In 2023, a massive hoard of gold coins was found buried on a Kentucky farm. Banks have not always been seen as reliable or safe places to keep money, and as time progresses this is becoming more and more evident.

Banks are constantly plagued with scandals. On July 11, 2023, Bank of America agreed to pay $250 million in fines and compensation to settle claims that they systematically double-charged customer fees, opened accounts without user authorization, and more. In 2022, US Bank was fined $37.5 million for opening fake accounts in their customers’ names. In 2018, US Bank paid $613 million due to its failure to adhere to anti-money laundering standards. Wells Fargo created fake accounts in their customers’ names for years and was caught in 2016. They were fined $185 million.

Trust in the banking system has come under fire over the past decade as scandal after scandal, and multiple bank failures have wracked the US banking industry. In 2023, we witnessed a series of bank runs as consumer confidence plummeted, causing several major banks to fail.

The argument for placing savings in banks has grown weaker, with interest rates on many savings accounts returning minimal interest rates. The phrase “cash is trash” has become a meme in financial circles as the dollar continues to lose purchasing power, and the interest accrued in savings accounts amounts to small change.

Some investors do not view their portfolio in precious metals as an investment, but as a savings account. Silver and gold have been mediums of exchange worldwide for thousands of years. While some money is held in institutions for everyday expenses, more money is put into silver, gold, and or platinum as a store of value. For those wanting to maintain their purchasing power as best as possible and using gold or silver as a store of value and saving for the future, it only makes sense to have enough cash savings to manage through a crisis. Usually, the recommendation is to have three to six months’ worth of essential expenses in savings. The rest could be safely stored in precious metals for future use. Remember, whether you believe in the dollar or not, it’s still what we use to purchase goods and services and the dollar and its system, excluding the Federal Reserve, is worth saving if fraud can be peeled back out of the system.

Given what we have learned in this Article it is not unreasonable to target a precious metals asset allocation above 25% or portfolio net worth. It is also reasonable to do what you can do and tuck some precious metals away for the future.

I’m certain there are good financial advisors out there who are truly professional and who provide guidance and advice to individuals or businesses on managing their finances, including investments, retirement planning, and budgeting and help clients set financial goals and create strategies to achieve them.  However, just like realtors, finding a good one with dependable knowledge is like finding a firefly. You know they are there, but very rare. The point being that you should recognize that your future and your family’s future is in your hands based on your education and education is the key to the right decisions. Does your financial advisor understand what a hedge is, cost of hedging, and how to protect the portfolio? Ask the questions before it is too late.

Given all the above, this is exactly why you scale into precious metals and it is important to read Got Metals & The Psychology of Socialism.

The reason you are watching the videos we produce, participating with comments, and also reading the Articles, Letters, and Discussions section is out of concern for your future and your family’s future. This simple fact should help you realize that you are an advocate for your family and clearly Advocacy is not an option, it is your civil obligation.
