One Metal Solves 5 of our Biggest Problems: Wars, Debt Crisis, Inflation, Recession & Crime.
That one Metal is Silver.
If you spend $1 million everyday
it will take you 2,740 years to reach $1 trillion.
The U.S. national debt is now $35 trillion and rising by $1 trillion every 100 days.
If you spend $1 Million everyday It would take approximately 95,890.41 years to spend 35 trillion dollars at a daily rate of $1 million.
Now let’s listen to what Fed Chair Jerome Powell says about Money Printing (the root cause of inflation) - 33 second video
end of section
This kind of debt crisis managed by Federal Reserve (their solution is QE which is buying the debt / money printing) results in the Dollar Collapsing.
When Money is Printed for Immoral War Adventures it creates the Problem You See in the Chart Above. War also Creates Death and Destruction
Silver Solves this Problem because You Can’t Print Silver and a Constrained Monetary System means that Bloodthirsty Bureaucrats like Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and their bosses (bankers) can’t finance wars
Silver Stays Stable and Solves this problem because you can’t print Silver whereas the Federal Reserve, by printing endlessly, creates inflation
3 recent commercial real estate transactions with Catastrophic Counter Party Risk
DC Xerox building sold at 75% discount (DC considered top tier real estate market)
Recent New York City Commercial Real Estate Losses anywhere between 37% and 68%
The 1.56 Billion Union Square and Parc 55 Hotels, 65% loss in value
Silver Solves This Commercial Real Estate Problem Because Bankers Can’t Lend out Money They Do Not Have. They Don’t Have the Money because in our Debt Based System there is NO RESERVE REQUIREMENT.

With Silver we can take the other side of the trades that are ending in disaster.
1. Sovereign debt crisis
2. Banks leveraged to their eye balls
3. Commercial Real Estate bubble
4. Consumer Debt Problems
5. Endless War Financing
6. Unrealized losses in Banks
7. Bankers derivative Exposure
The other side of these bad transactions is jumping into an asset that poses no counter party risk

Civil Strife and Crime.
When Villagers Can’t Pay for
1. Housing
2. Medical Expenses
3. Energy
4. Food
5. and other Necessities
This Creates Civil Strife and Crime.
Silver Solves this Problem
because it blocks the wealth transfer from the workers to the financial elite and Central Bankers (who stand close to the money printers and benefit from the Cantillon effect)
Inflation is making it increasingly difficult for the population to obtain affordable housing, transportation, energy, medical treatment, and retirement planning, and that this financial stress can lead to increased crime, consider the following examples based on sociological studies and the Silver Academy’s conflict theory
1. Housing Affordability and Homelessness
Rising rents and inflation have significantly increased the risk of homelessness, particularly for low-income families. A study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that a $100 increase in median rent was associated with a 9% increase in the estimated homelessness rate. This demonstrates how inflation in the housing market exacerbates financial stress, leading to housing instability and potentially pushing individuals towards criminal activities as a means of survival.
2. Transportation Costs and Economic Strain
Increases in the cost of transportation, driven by inflation, have been significant contributors to overall financial strain. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that shelter and transportation costs were the largest contributors to inflation, which rose to 7.0% for the 12 months ending December 2021. This economic pressure can limit access to employment opportunities and essential services, potentially leading individuals to engage in illegal activities to meet their needs.
3. Energy Costs and Financial Burden
Higher energy prices have also played a crucial role in boosting overall inflation. For example, energy costs, along with food and housing prices, contributed to a 3.4% rise in overall prices from November to December 2023. The increased financial burden from higher energy costs can force households to make difficult choices, such as foregoing other essential needs, which can increase the likelihood of turning to crime to alleviate financial stress.
4. Medical Treatment and Health Inequities
Inflation has also impacted the affordability of medical treatment. Increased spending on essentials such as healthcare can cause households to fall behind on other payments, including housing. The inability to afford medical treatment can lead to deteriorating health conditions, which may push individuals towards criminal activities as a desperate measure to obtain necessary resources.
5. Retirement Planning and Economic Insecurity
Inflation has eroded the purchasing power of fixed incomes, making it harder for older adults to afford basic necessities. This has increased the risk of homelessness among seniors, as many rely on fixed incomes such as Social Security. Economic insecurity in retirement can lead to increased stress and desperation, potentially resulting in criminal behavior as a means to secure financial stability.
These examples illustrate how inflation exacerbates financial stress across various essential needs, aligning with conflict theory, which posits that economic inequalities and resource scarcity can lead to social conflict and deviant behavior.
6. Higher Education Costs and Job Market Access
Inflation has significantly impacted the cost of higher education, making it increasingly difficult for many individuals to access quality education and, consequently, obtain good jobs.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average tuition and fees for a four-year public institution increased by 19% between 2011-12 and 2021-22, after adjusting for inflation. This rise in education costs can lead to:
Increased student debt burden
Fewer individuals pursuing higher education
Limited access to high-paying jobs for those without degrees
As a result, many people find themselves trapped in low-wage jobs, unable to meet their basic needs, which can increase the likelihood of turning to criminal activities as a means of financial survival.
7. Stress, Aggression, and Violent Crime
The high stress of not meeting physical needs due to inflation can indeed lead to aggression and a spike in violent crimes. This phenomenon can be explained through several sociological and psychological perspectives:
Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis
This theory suggests that when individuals are prevented from reaching their goals (in this case, meeting basic needs), they experience frustration, which can lead to aggressive behavior. In the context of inflation and economic hardship, this frustration can manifest as violent crime.
General Strain Theory
Robert Agnew's General Strain Theory posits that various types of strain, including the inability to achieve positively valued goals (such as financial stability), can lead to negative emotions like anger and frustration. These emotions, in turn, may lead to criminal coping mechanisms, including violent behavior.
Social Disorganization Theory
This theory suggests that in communities where basic needs are not met due to economic factors like inflation, social bonds weaken, leading to a breakdown in social control and an increase in crime rates, including violent crimes.
Evidence from Research
A study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology found a significant positive relationship between economic stress and violent crime rates. The researchers observed that as economic stress increased, so did rates of violent crime, particularly in areas with high unemployment and poverty rates.
Another study in the American Journal of Public Health revealed that economic factors, including inflation and unemployment, were strongly associated with increases in violent crime rates across multiple countries.
Inflation is the Root of Most Social Problems
Inflation not only affects access to essential resources but also contributes to a cycle of stress, frustration, and potentially violent behavior. This approach aligns well with The Silver Academy’s conflict theory, emphasizing how economic pressures can lead to social tension and criminal activities as individuals struggle to meet their basic needs in an increasingly challenging financial environment.
Why do Central Bankers and Politicians and unelected bureaucrats favor money printing over one metal (Silver) that can Promote World Peace, Fight Inflation, Reverse Economic Woes, Stop Market Crashes & Recessions and Alleviate Social Misery, Poverty and Crime?
The Cantillon Effect describes how the uneven distribution of newly created money in an economy benefits those closest to the source of money creation, typically at the expense of others. Here are the key points about how people close to "money printers" benefit from this effect:
Earlier access to new money: Those closest to the source of money creation, such as banks, financial institutions, and well-connected individuals, receive the newly created money first. This gives them a significant advantage in terms of purchasing power and investment opportunities.
Asset price inflation: The new money often flows into asset markets like stocks, real estate, and bonds first. This drives up asset prices, disproportionately benefiting wealthy individuals and institutions who own a larger share of these assets.
Purchasing power advantage: Early recipients of new money can purchase goods and services at lower prices before inflation sets in. As the money circulates through the economy, prices rise, reducing the purchasing power of those who receive the money later.
Investment opportunities: With access to new money before others, these individuals and institutions can invest in potentially profitable ventures or assets before prices increase.
Wealth transfer: The Cantillon Effect essentially acts as a hidden tax, transferring wealth from later receivers of new money (typically average citizens) to earlier receivers (those close to the money creation process).
Distorted capital allocation: The flow of new money can lead to misallocation of resources, creating bubbles in certain sectors or industries that receive the money first.
Exacerbation of inequality: This process tends to increase wealth inequality, as those already in advantageous financial positions benefit more from the new money creation.
Understanding the Cantillon Effect is crucial for recognizing how monetary policy and money creation can have uneven impacts across an economy, often favoring those closest to the financial system and government at the expense of others.

I have been visiting with my friend Larisa Sprott and we will be working together in the upcoming months to devise some programs (initiatives) inserting Silver as a Solution to some of the topics I trotted out above.
We are still working out the details, but I am confident that by collaborating with the #1 Trusted Family (Eric and Larisa Sprott) who have dedicated oodles of their energy, time, talent, and resources to supporting precious metals worldwide, something wonderful and beneficial will manifest (come to fruition)
