“Short term pain for a little while, as the system is cleansed in my opinion.” – Joe Lange
Part 1 (of 2)
SILVER update: So much happening. Another “paper” smash today in both Shanghai and on the COMEX.
Shanghai price dropped down to around $89.
SILVER futures on the COMEX are down to around $75.
That’s still over a $10 gap.
But what’s interesting, is that everything is down today except the dollar.
NASDAQ is getting hammered again, the stock market is down, gold and silver are down and crypto is down big.
I think there’s a lot more happening than we realize and I think it’s ALL connected to the derivatives markets. Not just SILVER derivatives.
While the easy answer is manipulation by the banking crooks, I think it’s actually the opposite and that what is happening, is actually a really good thing for the future. Why?
I have been saying for a long time, that we are witnessing a “controlled demolition” of the centralized fiat debt slavery system and that Trump is in more control than people realize.
What if we are actually watching a controlled “flush” of the massive derivatives that are overhanging EVERYTHING?
What if we are watching a controlled demolition”flush” of these derivatives, in order to PREVENT a total economic collapse?
We all know that the derivatives markets are crooked, with hundreds of paper contracts in SILVER that are only backed by a fraction of physical SILVER. But it’s the same in every market.
There’s a massive derivatives market in crypto too and I think that is playing a huge role in its decline recently. But how do you “flush” these risky derivatives and reset the market to be more in line with reality and “supply and demand,” rather than risky speculation and manipulation?
I think we might be in a period now, where the derivatives “time bomb” I have been talking about for a long time, is actually being “disarmed.”
Three closely timed things make me believe this.
1) The COMEX raised margin requirements big time on Friday and that is what triggered a huge sell off in SILVER, that wiped out a lot of derivatives.
2) Shanghai stopped and then limited several SILVER ETF’s because of the massive discrepancy between the paper and physical market. This is a big deal.
“Trading in a major China-listed silver fund was halted for a full session on January 30 as regulators moved to contain price distortions, 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.”
“Derivatives market conditions also tightened during the period. CME Group confirmed that it had raised margin requirements on silver futures contracts in response to heightened volatility and rapidly rising prices earlier in January.”

UBS is one of the biggest derivatives holders of SILVER and was one of many price manipulators. They likely took a big hit in both Shanghai and on the COMEX.
Are we witnessing an “unwinding” of the excessive risk in the SILVER (and other) derivatives market?
Here’s the other big thing that recently happened and is directly connected.
3) Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted the Critical Minerals Ministerial.
“Today the United States, together with our partners and allies, has set out to reshape the global market for critical minerals and rare earths.”
“Reshape the manipulated global market in critical minerals?”
PART 2
SILVER update: The meeting hosted by JD Vance and Marco Rubio, centered around critical minerals, was attended by representatives from 54 other countries. This wasn’t just table setting for trade deals. It was a “planned” and “coordinated” meeting and there is no doubt in my mind, that the coordinated smash of the “derivatives” in SILVER and other critical minerals, was “timed” right BEFORE this “critical” meeting.
We are witnessing a coordinated, worldwide RESET in critical minerals, from discovery to market and then into production. I think what JD Vance said, was very revealing.
“And as much as we talk about the modern economy, the digital economy, the high-tech economy, the President said something that was very, very important, and I think should inform a lot of how we think about future growth, which is that as much as data centers and technology and all of these incredible things that we’re all working on matter, fundamentally you still have an economy that runs on real things. And there is no realer thing than oil – and I would add to that there’s no realer thing than critical minerals.”
“And I think a lot of us have learned the hard way, in some ways, over the last year how much our economies depend on these critical minerals.”
“I believe that in this room we have close to two-thirds of the world’s GDP represented. And so, we have the capacity to make ourselves more independent, more self-reliant, and that’s what we should be doing.”
The focus, is on the world becoming more self-reliant and more independent. How?
“Now, we know that today the international market for critical minerals is failing. It’s failing to create domestic markets or dignified jobs for our labor forces, and it’s failing to keep our nations safe. Supply chains remain brittle and exceptionally concentrated. Asset and commodity prices are persistently depressed, driven downward by forces beyond any individual country’s control.”
The critical minerals market is completely centralized and that has made it easily manipulated and controlled. While the “narrative” will be that this is a countermeasure to the centralized control of China, that is only half the story.
People forget what the cabal’s plan originally was. There was supposed to be a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia, which would leave China as the only world power left standing. That is why the cabal had been moving manufacturing from the U.S. to China for many decades and why critical minerals have been purposely concentrated in China.
But the real enemy isn’t China. It’s a “centralized system” controlled by a cabal of elites. Did you catch that last part of what JD Vance said?
“Asset and commodity prices are persistently depressed, driven downward by forces beyond any individual country’s control.”
The cabal of bankers have been manipulating and controlling the critical minerals prices for a long time, all for their own benefit.
JD then talked about how new production gets stopped by manipulation.
“The project stalls, and eventually the project dies on the vine. We’ve all seen it firsthand in all of our countries. And the result is a global market where consistent investment is nearly impossible, and it will stay that way so long as prices are erratic and unpredictable. And that’s one of the things that we want to work on with this initiative. Let’s make the prices more predictable and less erratic so that we can support the domestic supply chains and the investment that makes those supply chains possible.”
The manipulation of the prices, using derivatives, has centralized supply chains on purpose. The reason why SILVER supply is so low, is because of the purposeful depressed price, using derivatives. The REMOVAL of this manipulative control is critical to making prices “predictable,” in order to increase supply and investment in new production and supply chains that are no longer concentrated.
Manipulation is now ending

Silver Is The Key
The manipulation of our money is coming to an end.

Did you catch Trump’s Truth Social post the other day that was threatening the BRICS nations?
Here’s what Trump said:
The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER. We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another sucker Nation. There is no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, or anywhere else, and any Country that tries should say hello to Tariffs, and goodbye to America!
Was it signal?
Does Trump really want to maintain the current global financial system, which is completely centralized around the dollar?
Does Trump really want to continue to force other countries to use the dollar in order to conduct trade, especially for critical commodities such as oil?
Forcing countries to hold dollars in reserve for vital trade, takes away other countries sovereignty.
Does Trump want to keep everyone dependent on the U.S. dollar, and continue to use threats to force compliance, similar to the centralized debt system the world is currently trapped in?
I don’t think so.
I think Trump wants to completely set the world free from financial tyranny.
Remember, this is war against a cabal who have controlled the global financial debt system for generations and Trump is bringing this cabal control to an end.
Deception is required in war.
It has been my opinion for years, that Trump is actually working with the BRICS nations to create their competing financial system, which removes centralization and PROTECTS every country’s SOVEREIGNTY. Their financial system uses a basket of commodities in order to back up their coming stablecoin for international trade. They would still control their country’s currency. They would no longer be required to hold another country’s currency in order to buy oil or anything else.
Freedom within an honest and transparent system that sets an even playing field for all countries.
I think that’s what Trump has been fighting for from the beginning.
Trump said in his TS post, that they are “seemingly” hostile countries.
This is signal.
This TS post is for normies because they still don’t know who the real enemy is.
Trump is actually allied with these very nations who created the BRICS system.
Both Putin and Xi, along with MBS are working with Trump to remove the cabal control.
I give the evidence for why I believe they are allies, in these two articles from about two years ago.

I actually think this Trump post is signal to his allies that the events that are going to change the entire financial system are incoming. It might even be a signal for them to take their next step.
But this wasn’t the only signal that caught my eye recently.
I think there was another HUGE signal that Trump gave, which also points to this incoming transformation of the world’s financial system.
Did you hear what Trump said at the Davos meeting with the world’s biggest financial players?
He specifically called out Brian Moynihan, the CEO of Bank of America and Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPM.

This is the definition of being “out of control.”
Meeks and Waters went full on “lunatic.”
The PANIC in DC is off the charts.
They all know what’s coming and can’t stop it.
Don’t miss the comment by Bessent about Meeks trip in 2006 to Venezuela.
Bessent and DOGE have been tracking all the dollars.
And Maduro has likely been singing like a bird.
Democrats are literally “out of control.”
They no longer “control” any part of the federal government and know that they are in danger of never having control again.
Wait till their conspiracy to steal the 2020 election is fully exposed in the criminal investigations.
January 28, 2026
Everything is planned and timed.
The exposure of “evidence” of a stolen election in 2020, finally getting into a courtroom, will change everything.
It seems, that ball is now rolling.
Trump said they have all the evidence and that it would be revealed over the next few months.
It will happen BEFORE the midterms.
It will not just destroy the democrat party, it will expose a nationwide conspiracy and trigger a whole lot of arrests.
It will also “trigger” a complete transformation of our entire election system.
Quit complaining about Congress not passing the SAVE Act.
They will pass it when the time is right.
All planned.
When will the time be right?
Right AFTER the stolen election is exposed in a “courtroom” and proven fraudulent and BEFORE the midterms.
Trump has ALWAYS known this is coming.
The midterms were NEVER in danger.
A new MAGA Congress is coming in the not too distant future and they will join with Trump in transforming EVERYTHING.
Putting lots of SAFEGUARDS in place to preserve the power in the peoples hands far into the future.
Trust the PLAN.

Jack Smith is going to go to prison.
If you are paying attention.
The Republicans are focused and have already exposed the fact that Smith violated the civil rights of Trump AND Republican Senators and the Speaker of the House.
Then he tried to hide that fact from everyone, including the American people and the courts.
He also wasn’t sworn into office, which made his investigation unconstitutional and the evidence was provided by AG Garland who then swore him in “after the fact,” a year later.
A “weaponized” justice system under Biden, to cover up the 2020 election fraud.
This FORCED testimony before Congress, is setting the table for the complete exposure of the fraudulent election and the coming mass arrests.
This testimony is “evidence” being placed in the record and exposing Jack Smith as part of the “conspiracy.”
These table setting events are important.
Everything is planned and timed.
Here’s an interesting line from a Q drop back in 2018.

ELECTION FRAUD cases OPEN – DOJ [many].
December 9, 2025
“There was no way in hell, that Trump was ever going to let the enemy get away with stealing the 2020 election.
It was actually a massive “sting operation” and Trump is saying it will be exposed over the next few months.
Everything has been planned and timed.
It always made sense to expose everything before the midterms, with evidence in court.
If you want complete transformation, you have to expose the fraud completely.
All of this, will happen BEFORE the midterm elections and people still think the democrats are going to win the midterms.
No chance.
The democrat party is about to be destroyed.
The nationwide conspiracy to steal the election, will change everything.
It’s treason.
Mass arrests will follow and all the safeguards for future elections will be implemented.
The entire Biden administration will be declared illegitimate and unconstitutional.
That’s the backdrop leading up to the midterms.
Everything is getting ready to change.”
I love it when I’m right! And I’m so thrilled Joe followed my suggestions!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
Silver went to a record $118 / ounce for a few days, then reacted just like I told Joe it would… abso-freaking-lutely!
President Trump has been in control aaaaaaall this time and will be for the foreseeable future. Damn, that man can play a mean game of chess.
Silver is back down to the mid $70s with some peak bids going into the $90s. The reality that silver and gold values are going to rock on to much higher valuations until who-knows-when… being critical to the rapidly evolving and advancement of modern technical industries.
If you’re been on the fence you might consider gettin’ off the damn thing IF you can swing it without going into debt. Oh, and treat paper silver and gold like the COVID jab! Buy physical only!
Has anyone really wondered that the demon-rats would arrive unscathed to the mid-terms? With our President Trump always upbeat and grinning it should be obvious.
“Nuthin’ is happening and there hasn’t been one arrest!!” said by everyone who is keeping their armchairs and couches warm. Oh, and idiot Jerk Smith is going to prison (it should be the gallows for obvious reasons).
And Trumps’ popcorn memes keep on rolling…
I LOVE this!!!
