The Hidden Propaganda socialist Model is used by both political parties.

Inflation (I) as a direct result of printing money not backed by assets creates an illusion of an expanding GDP utilizing public spending.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases as a result of the inflation.  CPI, the big lie. The method of calculation has been modified so many times; it bears no resemblance to the initial concept. What is the true unemployment number?

Housing and Food (H&F) prices rise faster than an index at a multiple of the CPI index.

Purchasing power (PP) decreases because of inflation and the population becomes slaves to debt as a result of years of interventionist (socialist) policies.

Home Purchase Prices (HPP) increased, up over 100% in 5 years, because of the fraud committed at the Central Appraisal District and School Districts. Housing-related expenses (rent, utilities, maintenance) have risen by more than 30% in 5 years.

The “real shopping basket” of Essential Goods (EG) had roughly a 40% - 60% increase from 2019 to 2025.

Real Wages (RW) are falling and jobs are shrinking.  Net real wages, which have fallen by more than double because the government refused to index taxes to inflation and has sharply increased the fiscal burden of families and businesses thus putting 42,000,000 households in harm’s way of bankruptcy or losing the roof over their head. If this group of society is destroyed economically, so goes the global economy and so goes global TRUST.

Fraudulent Immigration (FI) cost the U.S. Taxpayers roughly $1 Trillion per year being roughly $64,000 per immigrant. That debt becomes debt within the U.S. Treasuries, that requires interest payments on that compound cumulative debt, and that interest continues, until such time as that debt can be paid off… where a method of payoff or paydown has not been shown to date.

socialism typically abolishes or severely restricts Private Property Rights (PPR). Without private ownership and the ability to reap personal rewards from effort and innovation, productivity declines, and economic stagnation follows.

When the state controls the economy, political elites (criminals) gain enormous power over resources and wealth. This leads to Corruption (C), as those in power use their position to enrich themselves while suppressing dissent. 

See article, Fed Analysis: CPI, The Ultimate Big Lie. The method of calculation has been modified so many times, it bears no resemblance to the initial concept. What is the true unemployment number?

As has been stated and shown in the Articles, Letters & Discussions section, the productivity being claimed in the delayed governmental reports is a statistical mirage.

In simple quantifiable terms, the formula is…

(I) ↑ (CPI) ↑ (H&F) ↑(HPP) ↑ (EG) ↑ (FI) ↑ (PPR) ↑ (C) ↑ = ↓ (PP) ↓ (RW) = Financial Disaster

Lower Purchasing Power + Lower Real Wages = Financial Disaster

In reality, even though I made up this formula, this model to one extent or another has been copied and utilized across the globe by many sovereign nations and states and can also be seen in NYC which is playing out. Regardless of what the government officially calls itself (authoritative, socialist, communist, quasi-capitalist), allowing unnatural government interference to the detriment of all society ends badly, and as has been stated, “socialism ends when you run out of other people’s money to steal”.

Following political leaders on blind faith, many of whom are attorneys that can’t add or think of law and math as being co-dependent, has proven to be the generator of fraud. It is also the exact reason why your involvement in your school districts and municipality is so important.

What is the end result of all these scams?

1.   Financial Loss

2.   Loss of Societal Trust

3.   Equity Stripping (See article, Equity Stripping, Your Money, Your Future.)

None of the above would exist if the government and courts were doing their job. The government's job is to create and enforce laws, protect its citizens, and promote the general welfare (finance via capitalism) of the community. This includes ensuring public safety and maintaining order within society.

We can’t fix what we can’t define. The net result of socialist policies is defined above. The issues of property tax fraud and school district bond fraud are linked here and the point being that none of this writing would exist but for the mass fraud being committed upon society. Over time, the proof of multiple school district bond fraud in multiple jurisdictions including Denton County, Johnson County, Montgomery County and across the U.S. as a result of the pattern and practice to defraud is now laid bare for all of society to see and feel the ramifications of mass fraud because honest society is paying for it.

Now ask yourself, how could all this fraud exist if the government and courts were doing their job? Who receives the benefit of allowing fraud to exist? In every instance, without exception, who receives the compound interest on the fraudulent principal?  The answers are banks and lenders. Banks and those who control the banks that participate knowingly in fraudulent activity must be held accountable for their actions and this includes the Federal Reserve.

If socialism is not codified as a national security risk, could we not end up as did Cuba, Venezuela, the U.K., Germany, or European Union?

The purpose of this writing, as harsh a thought as it appears, is to generate additional thoughts by Mom and Pop to help them realize the potential of their manipulation into inadvertently participating in a divisive situation. When in reality, the common enemy is inflation and those who cause inflation. You (including the politicians) can’t fix what you can’t define. 

The intent of the  DCAD section of the Mockingbird website is to provide the evidence along with clarity of how that evidence came to be. It began with our discoveries within the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) and improper property tax appraisals and problematic (often unconstitutional) protest process, which led to uncovering school district bond fraud, as the school districts are a major benefactor of property taxes and inflated property valuations.  Through all of this, the pattern and practice of fraud, has been identified in appraisal districts, school districts, municipalities, local government, across Texas, across the U.S., including in our Federal Government.

Why Gold? Why Silver? Why Now?

How COMEX Sets Gold Prices and Moves the Market - Temporarily

If you’ve ever followed the gold market closely, you’ve probably asked yourself: what is COMEX, and why does it seem to move gold prices every single day? 

Global gold price isn’t set by dealers selling coins or vaults storing bullion. It’s largely driven by trading activity on a futures exchange in New York — the Commodity Exchange, better known as COMEX. 

Understanding how COMEX works is essential if you want to make sense of short-term price swings, volatility, and the sometimes puzzling disconnect between futures contracts — often called ‘paper gold’ — and physical demand. 

COMEX (the Commodity Exchange) is a division of CME Group, based in New York, where futures contracts for gold, silver, copper, and other metals are traded. Originally founded in 1933, COMEX became the dominant marketplace for precious metals futures. Today, it functions as the primary price discovery mechanism for gold worldwide. In practical terms, it’s where the global gold price is established each trading day except in other sovereign nations that have their own form of COMEX such as Shanghai Gold Exchange or the LBMA in London. 

When you see “gold is trading at $5,000 per ounce,” that price is typically derived from the most active COMEX gold futures contract — not from physical bullion transactions. 

How Gold Futures Pricing Works 

A gold futures contract is a standardized agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of gold (usually 100 troy ounces) at a predetermined price on a future date. 

For example: 

• A trader buys a December gold futures contract at $5,000 per ounce. 
• That contract represents 100 ounces. 
• The total contract value is $500,000. 

Importantly, the trader does not pay $500,000 upfront. Futures contracts are leveraged instruments, meaning only a fraction of the total value, known as margin which is required to control the position. 

Most traders never intend to take delivery of 100 ounces of gold. 

Instead, they’re speculating on price movements. 

If gold rises to $5,200, the trader can sell the contract before expiration and capture the $200 per ounce gain — or $20,000 on the 100-ounce contract. If gold falls, they take a loss. In most cases, the position is settled financially rather than through physical delivery. 

In other words, COMEX is primarily a financial marketplace — not a physical gold warehouse. 

Why Most Contracts Never Result in Delivery 

Despite representing enormous quantities of gold on paper, only a small fraction of COMEX contracts ever result in physical delivery except in times of market stress such as the frauds outlined above, the demand for physical starts to overtake the paper trading which is the moment the COMEX and the bullion banks start causing large price movements to scare the unaware or week hands out of their positions, either paper or physical.

In most months and “normal” times, typically less than 5% of outstanding contracts go to delivery. The rest are closed out, rolled forward, or settled financially before expiration. Hedge Funds, Bullion Banks, Market Makers, COMEX, etc. are trading for price exposure, leverage, or hedging purposes — not to take possession of metal and store it in a vault, except in times of market stress coincidentally created by the same Funds, Banks, and Exchanges. 

There are times when coin shops report shortages, premiums on physical gold rise, retail demand surges, and central banks aggressively accumulate bullion — and yet the gold price stalls or even drops. 

How is that possible? 

Because short-term pricing is driven primarily by futures flows, not by physical coin and bullion sales. 

If Hedge Funds, Bullion Banks, Market Makers, COMEX unload large volumes of contracts, gold prices can fall quickly — even when physical demand is strong beneath the surface.

Conversely, heavy speculative buying on COMEX can push prices sharply higher, even if retail investors are relatively quiet. 

Does COMEX Control Gold Prices? 

COMEX does not “control” gold prices in the sense of centrally planning them. Rather, it functions as the primary marketplace where buyers and sellers meet to establish prices through competitive bids and offers. 

However, because futures trading volume is so large (often many multiples of annual global mine production) financial flows can outweigh physical fundamentals in the near term. For long-term investors, this is critical to understand. 

Gold’s underlying drivers are inflation, currency debasement, real interest rates, central bank accumulation, geopolitical instability   and fraud. 

Day-to-day volatility is driven by positioning of price in the futures market. 

If you own physical gold as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, real interest rates, central bank accumulation or systemic risk, you may be concerned about what you see in futures market. This is the difference between those who understand the long-term nature of metals investment which is to keep up with inflation and the probable need for a gold / metals standard to back paper currency.  Media narratives are made up to suit the moment and have zero to do with clear thinking. 

Gold has served as a monetary anchor for thousands of years. 

Futures markets are modern financial overlays, useful for liquidity and price discovery, but ultimately are a derivative of the underlying asset. 

When confidence in financial systems is high, paper markets dominate. When a crises of confidence  during inflationary cycles (caused by fraudulent debt), currency instability, or geopolitical stress, physical gold and silver demand tends to assert itself more forcefully.
