I think “ID” is Indonesia
RE: Plunder Quarterly Wrap Up
I really appreciate case study #1 – Latin America – as that pattern seems to be emerging in Alberta. The leadership of the Independence Movement have had several visits with State Department officials in DC. Apparently the State Department discussed with the Independence movement that Alberta would be recognized as an independent state ( nation, not 51st state ) and a $500 billion USD line of credit could be available to cover for any shortfalls during separation from Canada. I have no reason to disbelieve this claim, and it certainly fits with the patterns noted in the Plunder wrap up. No doubt Ottawa could open up its near infinite bag of tricks to make accessing the USD line of credit a necessity should secession proceed. One of the State Department goals was said to be getting the extensive Alberta oil and gas reserves available for the Pacific Asian allies – Japan, South Korea. The recent events in oil rich Venezuela makes things even more interesting. As things progress I find it interesting that I now have exactly equal access to USD and CAD cash at local credit unions. Both the ATMs and teller cash drawers are filled with USD bills. Also, the new Canadian ambassador to the U.S., Wilkinson, is a former Blackrock exec. Plunder ahoy!
In your chart that shows the precious metals as top 4. Number 5, is the odd one feeder cattle being so high. Working as a dairy processor, my industry groups have been speaking about soaring prices way out of the norm but nobody has been able to explain it to me. Cows and dairy have been under attack like rest of the food system and someone has put there foot on the gas petal for feeder cattle – but I have no idea how pr why this is happening. It doesn’t seem like normal market forces.
Also on that chart – I wonder how much the coffee price as well recent explosions in cacao are really reflections of real goods from poorer countries encountering inflation in the richer ones, i.e. the banana republics have more stable economies so we are seeing their commodities price up – it doesn’t seem like there would be shortage of something so ubiquitous.
Good to see you guys back, many Well Wishes to you both. Catherine as you said at the end things are breaking. My take is Master Of The Universe is loosing his grip and the world grows tired of being bullied. Will Silver and who controls it be the signal of the bigger financial health of so many things? Pray for Christ Light to shine brightly and for peace to settle over all the world.
Americans need to start boycotting all of these companies involved in these shenanigans.
ABSOLUTELY!
woke up happy today because i did not see chemtrails over my house this morning – but then i saw them the next town over. when will this insanity stop? check out wake the dead podcast series on the manchurian candidate. totally recommend after reading “secret, don’t tell”. love money and markets! happy new year 2026!
The chemtrails in south-central Tennessee have been off the charts for the past month or two, and downright scary for the past two weeks. Last day or two they have been back down to a dull-roar. We are used to heavy chemtrailing, having spent about eight years before covid in the Nevada City area in Northern California. When we first moved to TN in 2020 the chemtrails were uncommon and light. The last couple of years they have been steadily increasing, to where they’ve been on a par with northern CA. The first day or two in January, we were actually beginning to feel afraid… We have learned to “not look up”…
Groan….
Oh Glory! Today the skies are clear and lovely!! Makes one sure appreciate the beauty of nature and this beautiful earth, and certainly helps to improve the mood and outlook! 🙂

Happier new year, everyone. I hope the undersea volcano predicted to erupt before mid-May won’t completely ruin the year for those of us on the pacific rim.
I have heard that the next step toward global government is regionalization and dissolution of nation states into city states. Both trade and movement of people are to be restricted largely within each region (and hence, bringing manufacturing back to North America, I guess). Unfortunately, especially for Australians/New Zealanders, we are all grouped together with China. I think Americas were to form one region. I see a lot of evidence of regionalization here in Japan (the Innovation Party, which formed the coalition govt with Liberal Democratic Party, was reportedly created by CCP), but disintegration into city states is not so obvious yet.
Things are fluid. What is being tried and what will work are two different things. That said, a hard bifurcation between east and west is real and is here.
