Dear Supporters of Investigative Journalism,
In a world where information is power, The Pickaxe and Silver Academy stands as beacons of truth, digging deep to uncover the hidden stories behind precious metals and their impact on our society.
Led by the intrepid eccentric erratic Jon Forrest Little, our team has consistently broken ground on stories that challenge conventional wisdom and expose the intricate connections between precious metals, technology, and global power structures.
Why Chip in?
Our investigations have revealed groundbreaking insights that reshape our understanding of economics, technology, and geopolitics:
We traced the origins of coinage to ancient military strategies, showing how the need to pay soldiers birthed early markets.
Our team uncovered the "law of intricacy, scarcity, and utility," explaining the true value of gold and silver beyond mere market prices.
We reported on cutting-edge research demonstrating gold's increased strength under laser attacks, with implications for future technologies.
We were first to highlight silver's superiority as a catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells, potentially revolutionizing clean energy production.
We broke the story on Samsung's silver solid-state battery, a game-changer for energy storage with faster charging and longer life.
Our investigations exposed the Department of Defense's strategic silence on silver usage in military applications, revealing its critical role in national security.
We connected the dots between the closure of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and the obfuscation of silver depletion by the military-industrial complex.
We exposed the dual roles of bankers as industrialists, manipulating silver prices to benefit their manufacturing interests.
We were first to report on Mexico's efforts to nationalize silver reserves, tying it to the country's push for energy independence and technological advancement.

As the only channel in the USA that curates Silver Promotions, we understand the importance of our unique content. While some may find our frequency excessive, it's necessary due to the lack of silver coverage in the mainstream. For context, the Silver Institute, a well-established authority in the industry, publishes six newsletters per year. We, on the other hand, manage to produce the same amount of content in just two days, showcasing our efficiency and dedication to keeping our audience informed.
First to call Silver Vaults are draining to extent that Silver could vanish by 2025 (that’s why we endorse the Silver miners in best position to answer the silver deficit)
First to Report on the total volume of Silver use by Samsung’s Silver Solid State Battery.
First to Report there are only 4 primary Silver producers remaining (outside of Mexico poised to Nationalize Silver)
First to Report the best practice for AI investing is via the Energy over tech stocks in a bubble
First to Report that if you want to invest in Nuclear (Forget Uranium, silver has more leverage as Uranium is too abundant in earth’s crust)
First to report Rod Cluster Control Assemblies massive use of Silver (80%, 3000 made so far, can’t be recycled, need to be replaced every 8 years, growing importance in AI data centers)
We were first to document the Law of Intricacy, Scarcity and Utility (embodied energy of gold)
First to formulate Precious Metals Warfare Theory where I advanced that the first coins minted from the The Mines of Laurion, (circa Peloponnesian War 431–404 BC) were exploited to pay soldiers not replace barter via the “double coincidence of wants”
Numerous Silver Stations in the US use our content, including Andy Schectman, Money Metals, Guidhall Wealth, Ron's Basement, Silver Slayer, and many more. We have never received compensation for these efforts but consider their echoes to be endorsements.
We were the first to tell why the US Department of Defense stopped reporting its silver numbers.
We were first to sound the alarm concerning Maria Luisa Albores Gonzalez, Mexico's Rising Political Star and Secretary of Environment. She is an earnest, authentic, astute, popular, and competent leader. The US does not have anyone even close to her effectiveness in attracting an impressive coalition of support. (and the potential risk fallout and negative investment impact on Silver.)
First to report Silver as a catalyst in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (Silver being more effective than the expensive Platinum Group Metals)
First to report Silver's explosive use in AI data centers
First to connect all the dots (closure of the US Bureau of Mines, depletion of Silver strategic stockpiles, and locating the files on Baker's testimony that US silver supply wasn't adequate for US military silver use)
First to report that Rajesh Exports used cover as a jewelry company when the majority of their Silver was for Silver Zinc batteries (torpedo manufacturing in India)
First to break the story on how gold gets stronger when attacked by lasers.
First to draw the lines between DiRienzo, Bateman, Dept of Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Military elites
First to tie Silver Institute's DiRienzo and Bateman to Klein & Saks / DaVinci Group lobbying conflicts of interest while posing as double agents ( silver advocacy interests)
We have also launched the SilverWars website, (an inexpensive endeavor) which is a comprehensive resource that meticulously documents the military use of Silver. This platform, often referred to as the 'Wikileaks of Silver ', is a testament to our commitment to transparency and in-depth research.
