Silver Will Safeguard Society from Shackles by Shattering the Federal Reserve
Silver Shield. A Campaign for Sovereignty, Stability, and Security
by Pixy St. Claire
Here's the Good News.
The Others Need Silver Way More Than We Need the Others.
Who are the Others? The Magnificent 7 and Over-valued Equities (Really all things that are not Hard Assets or Food)
What?
The Silver mining industry needs to increase the volume of funding.
The combined market capitalization of the Magnificent Seven, which includes Nvidia, Tesla, Meta (formerly Facebook), Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet (Google), was reported to be $11.69 trillion at a particular time. This represented about 29.1% of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500 companies, which was $40.11 trillion at that time.
The market cap of the Magnificent Seven has been highlighted as a significant portion of the overall market, demonstrating their substantial influence and dominance in the equity market.
The ratio of 40 trillion to 17 billion is approximately 2352.94.
The percentage difference between 40 trillion and 17 billion is about 2351.94%.
So What?
Silver is on the Brink of Extinction
Yet The Price is Way too Close to the Cost of Production.
Silver demand has outpaced supply over the past three years, while new uses for Silver have spiked drastically on a year-over-year basis.
At The Silver Academy, we've been showing silver applications that other sources do not cover. These uses include:
Military (bombs, shells, missiles, torpedoes, nukes)
Aerospace (rockets, spacecraft, satellites)
Robots (Rise of the Machines)
Trains (electroplating, MagLev technology, switches, gear switches, printed circuit boards)
Superconductors
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars, Silver kicking out platinum.
Dozens more upcoming
Now What?
Making Silver Mining Profitable Can't Happen by Bringing Down Inputs like diesel, oil, labor, and admin overhead. Only by a rising silver price.
The first step is to step out of denial right into the acceptance phase.
We need to look at what we do right and what needs improvement, then mobilize.
Why is the Silver Price Low? Three Main Reasons, which are all related.
The 347-1 paper silver to physical silver trading
Silver's most significant industrial users have the power to keep their factory inputs low. By factory inputs, I mean incentivized to smash down the price of silver, and captains of the industries that are chief users of silver (aerospace, EVs, weapons, robotics, electronics) sit on bank boards and engage in short-selling silver.
The issuers of fiat currency want to avoid competition.
Trading paper versions of Silver or short-selling Silver can lower the cost of Silver due to the significant size of the "paper" silver market compared to the physical silver market.
The "paper" silver market refers to financial products that represent the price of Silver but are not backed by physical Silver, creating a virtual silver supply without putting pressure on the physical silver market.
This disconnect between the physical and "paper" markets has resulted in a leverage of 347 to 1, meaning that 347 ounces of "paper" silver are circulating in financial products for every ounce of physical Silver.
This abundance of "paper" silver has skirted investors' demand from the actual physical market, thus creating a virtual silver supply without putting any pressure on the physical silver market, which can contribute to lowering the price of silver.
The financialization of the silver market, with the proliferation of financial products on Silver, has contributed to this situation. The leverage between "paper" Silver and physical Silver is at risk of being disrupted if we work together to throw out the manipulators for price discovery ( to better reflect the physical market, positively impacting the price of Silver.)
In summary, the abundance of "paper" silver in the market, which is not backed by physical Silver, has contributed to a disconnect between the physical and "paper" markets, negatively impacting the so-called "spot price."
This situation has been influenced by the significant size of the "paper" silver market compared to the physical silver market.
The excerpt was from a few years ago, but nothing has changed here except that the paper-to-physical silver ratio is now higher.
In a recent interview, Jon Little confirmed that the annual physical silver production is roughly one billion ounces.
Silver trading at around $23 currently represents a $23 billion market for physical silver.
So, the size of the physical silver market is $23 billion, whereas Bloomberg mentions $5 trillion. (maybe $8 trillion today)
How can such a difference be explained?
Well, these $8 trillion represent the entirety of the « paper » silver market, including all « paper » financial products (certificates, options, ETFs, etc.) derived from the actual physical market and allowing investors to be « exposed » to Silver.
This creates a 347 to 1 ratio between the « paper » and physical silver markets.
This would mean that 347 ounces of « paper » silver are circulating in several financial products for every ounce of physical Silver.
In other words, only one contract or certificate out of 347 would be convertible in physical Silver.
The disconnect between physical and « paper », or virtual, markets is considerable.
The financialization of the silver market is resulting in a leverage of 347 to 1.
(The multiplication of those financial products on Silver has skirted investors' demand from the actual physical market, thus creating a virtual silver supply without putting any pressure on the physical silver market. A roundabout way of keeping the price low.)
This is what is meant when we say Silver is a "managed" market.
The goal is to create market discovery for Silver that would better reflect the physical market (notably from pressure from BRICS, who know the US has been fixing metals prices); the leverage between « paper » Silver and physical Silver is at risk of radically evolving.
Let's hypothesize that the silver price would be directly based on the physical silver market: Adjusted for today's numbers.
Today, the actual size of the silver market is closer to $8 trillion.
$8 trillion divided by 23 billion (physical market) = 347
347 X $23 (silver spot price) = $7,981 an ounce.
If the price of Silver were based directly on the actual physical silver market, Silver's cost should be $ 7,981 an ounce.
This price may seem crazy, but who can pretend to know exactly how an ounce of Silver is worth after decades of manipulation and turning real investors' demand from the physical market to the « paper » one and years of exponential monetary printing by all the planet's central banks?
The actual spot price for Silver has no real value. It is not legitimate when we seriously compare the real physical silver market to the « paper » market and its myriad of financial derivatives.
I'm not saying the price of Silver will reach $7,981 an ounce; I'm just saying that the actual PHYSICAL silver spot price is not only highly undervalued but that it is an illusion compared to the true value of an ounce of physical Silver since it is totally disconnected from reality.
Every investor holding Silver in the form of financial products, without the possibility of verifying the physical existence of their investment, should ask the question as to what will happen when more holders of said products will ask for physical delivery.
We already know what will happen because one of the Netherlands' large banks, ABN-AMRO, defaulted a few years ago on its « gold » certificates by settling customers in cash.
Every Regime I've studied includes:
Athens
Rome
Portugal
Spain (Juros)
France (Rentes)
Netherlands
UK (began modern-day Bank of England, War Bonds to fight France)
USA (Federal Reserve a little over 100 years old, private bank, not elected, not transparent, about as Federal as Federal Express, somehow exempt from taxes)
They all follow a precise pattern.
Central Bankers and Government vault the gold and silver and issue war bonds/paper fiat currency. Juros was Spain’s version, Rentes was France’s version. Federal Reserve is our version.
Then The Regime collapses:
According to talks with my friend David Stein (CEO of KUYA), in history, silver has been at its best when there is an uptick in its use as a monetary metal.
This is why we are promoting the Silver Shield (see below) which has various initiatives including:
Indigenous Lands Silver Project, Operation "La Plata" We are in talks with some tribes interested in a pilot project including Silver used in tribal lands. Tribal lands have golf courses, casinos, spas, stores, and gas stations. Tribal lands fall under the US Department of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland of New Mexico, and her top-performing fundraiser (when she was a junior member of Congress a few years back) is part of our network. We are meeting with her ASAP.
Though it is predicted that the Department of Interior won't like the concept, this publicity is well worth the fight.
Moreover, indigenous tribes have a high degree of sovereignty, and the entire relationship between Washington and hundreds of indigenous lands is mired in centuries of Anglo culture betraying the interests of indigenous people.
History is marked by centuries of Genocide perpetrated by the Parasitic Class, and this is why, symbolically and practically speaking, Silver Sovereignty is the best weapon to take on the toxic orbit of the US dollar.
We can march far under the radar before injunctions fly. Indigenous people are the toughest, make the best activist partners, and are not easily pushed around by Gov workers.
Buying homes with Silver
We are talking with several home builders who have said YES to our proposition of exchanging their manufactured homes for Silver, not in every case, but in some cases.
Buying land with Silver
We have identified some "off-grid" areas near metro areas in high desert locations and are in talks with people willing to trade their land for Silver. Then, modular homes are built on these lands. We have solved the USA's most significant problem (affordable housing) with silver.
Silver as Money, Sometimes the Solution is Right Beneath Our Eyes
The Sound Money Defense League is a nonpartisan advocacy group working to restore gold and Silver to their historic role as America's constitutional money. The organization has been lobbying state legislators to promote the use and acceptance of sound money, particularly gold and Silver, at the state level. The Sound Money Defense League has advocated for state and federal sound money legislation while providing timely information to interested readers, politicians, and concerned citizens.
The organization has taken a multi-pronged approach to challenge the monetary monopoly of the Federal Reserve System. This approach includes changing state sales taxation on precious metals purchases, state capital gains taxation on precious metals, and legislation establishing an in-state gold/silver depository. Texas has already started.
Additionally, the Sound Money Defense League has supported measures that would permit, but not require, the State Treasurer to hold some portion of state funds in physical gold and Silver to help secure state assets against inflation and financial turmoil risks.
The Sound Money Defense League's efforts have included collaborating with sound money advocates in various states to eliminate sales taxes on precious metals and introduce legislation to protect taxpayer reserve funds with gold and Silver.
The organization has also ranked states based on their sound money policies through the Sound Money Index, which uses twelve indicators to determine which states offer the most pro-sound money environment in the country.
Ultimately, the Sound Money Defense League aims to bring gold and Silver back as America's constitutional money and has been actively advocating for sound money legislation at the state level to challenge the current fiat currency system and promote the use of gold and Silver as constitutional money.
What is The Silver Shield?
It’s a Movement or Revolution to Break Free from Debt Slavery and Resist The Federal Reserve’s Agenda of Total Control over The Villagers.
Join the Silver Revolution: Secure Your Future with Silver
We, the undersigned, call upon all peoples (#RSPCT #ALLCULTURES #ALLCOLORS #ALLCREATURES) to join the Silver Revolution and reclaim our financial sovereignty from the evil clutches of the Federal Reserve.
Silver will safeguard our wealth, protect our families, and is the only path forward (for a brighter, more prosperous, NOW and for future generations.
Together, we can shatter the shackles of the Federal Reserve's financial tyranny and usher in a new era of economic stability, prosperity, and freedom.
Sign up form will be unfurled soon.
Strategy explained.
We expect there will be doubters and haters at first, and then adoption will be overwhelming.
I was lucky to have been trained by one of the World's best sales and marketing executives.
He was successful in selling Westinghouse subway cars in Berlin, Sweden, London, DC, Bay Area and Pittsburgh.
He explained the two best marketing secrets in the World, and today, I will describe the most important which is establish marketing initiatives that are much loftier and mightier than any individual interest. I will provide numerous examples below.
For example, consider the PR Campaign "Virginia is For Lovers." The main aim is to bring tourists to Virginia instead of promoting one city or business.
The second-best marketing secret will be released today to our subscribers via a video..
During my 17 years working in the Clay mining and brick Industry, I took his advice.
He said, "Jon, I hear you on the phone talking to contractors about” …
Your brick
Your brick sizes.
Your brick colors.
Your brick textures.
How you make the brick
Your CEO, Your Company, Your Clay, Your Kiln, Your value proposition…
The compressive strength of your brick
Cut this Crap Out.
He said it another way in a crude metaphor explaining an insensitive man towards a woman, "No one wants to hear about your pain; just show me the baby."
He said:
Jon it would be better to get in your car and go wherever people will listen.
Invent a Campaign
Give it a name like "Let's Go Toledo,"
and then change the name for each city.
Let’s Go Cleveland
Let’s Go Buffalo
Pack the meeting with decision makers (mayor, council members, church, and civic minded), teach them the following:
The first thing is to establish they are not buying anything.
They are making money
They are not spending money but they are investing.
Then explain how Brick solves almost all of their municipal problems especially declining property values, lack of tourism revenue, declining gross receipts tax and dwindling civic and community enthusiasm, (i.e Urban Decay)
Brick Solves These Problems.
Property Value: Brick homes have higher resale values due to their durability, low maintenance, and timeless aesthetic appeal. Brick contributes to the long-term value of a property, making it a wise investment.
Insurance Reduction: Brick homes and commercial properties have lower insurance rates due to their fire-resistant characteristics. The durability and fire resistance of brick can lead to reduced insurance premiums, making it a smart choice for consumers and municipalities (Libraries, Schools, Courthouses, Gov offices, University Campuses)
Attracting Higher-End Tenants: Brick homes' durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal can attract higher-end tenants who value quality and longevity. This can lead to a more desirable rental property, higher rental income, and higher gross tax receipts for the municipality. Name a politician who doesn't want higher revenue to keep getting elected, right?
Aesthetics: Brick offers unlimited design possibilities and timeless beauty, enhancing the overall look of a property. The aesthetic appeal of brick can contribute to the attractiveness of a neighborhood and potentially increase property values.
Smart Building Choice: Brick is an intelligent building choice due to its durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings.
Brick provides long-lasting value, energy efficiency, and safety, making it a smart investment for property owners.
Yes, it’s important to discuss the following:
Ore grade
Drilling results
Management (seems odd sometimes, but it can be measured)
Jurisdiction (US thinks Africa is risky, Europe believes Latin America is)
Finances
But the biggest problem is that there are too many Jr Miners, and not enough got wiped out during this bear market.
Moreover, the barrier to entry is too low (a future article)
Here is a brilliant and brief video of a Jr. Miner CEO in an interview with Pixy.
There are some powerful sound bites where David Stein conveys shareholder value while discussing his projects in Peru and Canada. Moreover, he differentiates his approach compared to some other silver mining business models.
KUYA Silver : (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1)
But running along side discussions of ore grade and all the nuances surrounding silver mining will be The Silver Shield campaign. This is already set and motion with hundreds of thousands backing it.
But let's discuss how the Pros do it.
Who was Edward Bernays?
Bernays was the nephew of Sigmund Freud and is considered the father of propaganda in US advertising. His clients included Big Tobacco, United Fruit, the US government (selling wars), Dixie Cups, and many others. His book "Crystallizing Public Opinion" is on my shelf; I read it yearly. I don't want to be like him, but I don't mind learning from him.
Committee for Public Information: During World War I, Edward Bernays worked with Walter Lippmann to develop methods for the Committee for Public Information, which aimed to influence domestic public opinion on various perceptions of the war.
Council on Public Relations: Bernays advocated for the White House to install a council on public relations to interface with the press, which is considered the origin of the modern press secretary.
Bernays created his own campaigns, such as the Committee for the Study and Promotion of the Sanitary Dispensing of Food and Drink, to sell more Dixie cups
Fear to promote Dixie Cups
In the 1930s, Edward Bernays launched the Dixie Cup campaign to convince American consumers that only disposable cups were sanitary. He linked the imagery of an overflowing cup with subliminal images of genitalia and venereal disease to scare people into trusting disposable cups as the only hygienic option
This fear-based approach was a fundamental element of Bernays' campaigns
Bernays triples Lucky Strike Sales with Torches of Freedom
What made women smoke & Why Controversy Wins
Edward Bernays significantly boosted Lucky Strike cigarette sales through his "Torches of Freedom" campaign. In the late 1920s, he aimed to change the perception of women smoking in public to expand Lucky Strike's market base. Bernays linked smoking to female empowerment, capitalizing on the recent women's right to vote, and convinced former suffragettes to march down Fifth Avenue smoking Lucky Strikes as "Torches of Freedom."
The media coverage of this event led to a significant increase in cigarette sales, tripling them in a year
Bernays' innovative use of psychology and public relations tactics, such as associating smoking with female empowerment, played a pivotal role in the success of the campaign.
If Milk can run an ad to promote the dairy industry we think Silver, The Silver Academy and our Silver Shield campaign will work too.
Other campaigns:
Got Milk?
The Incredible Edible Egg
Beef, It’s What’s for Dinner
Pain, the 5th Vital sign
The "Pain: the 5th Vital Sign" campaign by Purdue Pharma was part of a broader effort to change the perception of pain management and promote the use of opioid pain medications.
Pain the 5th Vital sign is an example of a pernicious plan whereas the Silver Shield campaign for sovereignty, safety and stability is a virtuous one.
Final thoughts:
Wall Street Silver is under new management, and when some of the previous admins exited the community, it left a power vacuum leading to many skirmishes between people in our orbit.
This dynamic reminds me of when El Chapo was arrested, and then a massive round of Cartel violence occurred (as people positioned for influence in the absence of El Chapo.)
The same thing happened in our silver industry. We will be reaching out to some of these past skirmishes with “olive branch” alliances in order to serve the greater good.
The time is to join forces and face the genuine threat, which is The Federal Reserve (and for all to embrace silver as the way for sovereignty, security, stability, and safety.
