About ‘Libertad’ Silver – Ounce Coins in Mexico

by Hugo Salinas Price
Plata.com.mx

Banco Azteca (BAZ) – a Mexican bank in which I have an interest – is the only bank that has been selling – and purchasing – “Libertad” silver ounces to and from the Mexican public in recent years.

The current price at which BAZ sells “Libertad” silver ounces to the public is $600 pesos.

The current price at which BAZ purchases “Libertad” silver ounces from the public is $550 pesos.

In October 2020, BAZ sold 55,622 “Libertad” silver ounces, and purchased from the public 15,315 ounces. At present, the desire of the public to purchase silver ounces far exceeds its willingness to part with its silver ounces.

The fundamental souce of supply of silver ounces for BAZ is Banco de Mexico, Mexico’s Central Bank; this institution has informed BAZ of its available supply of ounces for this year, and BAZ estimates that that supply will likely be exhausted before year-end.

Casey Research

Rachel’s note: Today, we’re bringing you the second part of the conversation between Casey Report chief analyst Nick Giambruno and his friend and colleague, Chris Lowe. (You can catch up on the first part here.)

Nick believes a digital currency is inevitable. It’ll allow governments to track your every move… and have control over your bank accounts.

But there’s one digital asset that nobody can control… not even the government: bitcoin.

Below, Nick explains why the government will never be able to compete with bitcoin… and how high it could really go…

A crowd of around 150 people who were dressed in all black and wearing helmets began marching through the streets of Washington, D.C. shortly after 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night.

The crowd was chanting: “F*ck Trump. F*ck Biden. No more presidents.” One person had a sign that said “burn down the American plantation.” Some were carrying weapons, gas masks and shields, according to The Blaze reporter Elijah Schaffer.

[…] Around 11:45, fireworks began going off and the crowd chanted “all cops are bastards” and “burn it down.” The group was organized and lead by a wall of people with bikes.

Report: If Media Declare Biden Winner, He Intends to ‘Address Nation’ as ‘New Leader’

by Penny Starr
Breitbart.com

Former Vice President Joe Biden will “address the nation as its new leader, even if President Trump continues to fight in court” if the media declare him the mathematical winner on Election Day.

“We’re not really concerned about what Donald Trump says,” Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon told reporters Monday. “We’re going to use our data, our understanding of where this is headed, and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people.”

Axios reported on the development that Biden, if elected, will lay claim to being in charge of the country even before he is inaugurated:

2020-2030 Could Be the Decade of Economic Malaise

by Ethan Yang
The American Institute for Economic Research

To say the future looks bleak for sound economics and good government would be an understatement. The year 2020 has seen an unprecedented expansion of government intervention that has absolutely devastated the global economy. It is highly unlikely that national governments will simply put those powers back into the lockbox; they will likely keep them for years to come. Even in the short term, lockdowns do not seem like they are going away anytime soon with countries like France and Germany already reclosing their economies. On top of that, debt and spending have soared astronomically in response to Covid-19 as if existing debt wasn’t high enough. AP News writes

In August, CBO issued a 10-year estimate predicting the deficit would decline to $1.8 trillion in the 2021 budget year that began Oct. 1 and would register $13 trillion over the coming decade. It would average 5% of GDP over that time, a level that many economists fear could lead to higher interest rates and a stagnating economy.

We have absolutely no idea what that amount of quantitative easing and low interest rates will mean for the health of the economy in the long run.

Birx Demands “Much More Aggressive Action” to Deal with Covid-19

by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan

White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Deborah Birx is also warning that the U.S. is entering the “most deadly phase of this pandemic.” Along with head medical tyrant, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Birx is saying a “much more aggressive action” is now needed to keep the case counts down.

“We are entering the most concerning and most deadly phase of this pandemic … leading to increasing mortality,” Birx said according to a report by Market Watch. According to the Washington Post, Dr. Birx issued the internal report early yesterday. “This is not about lockdowns — It hasn’t been about lockdowns since March or April. It’s about an aggressive balanced approach that is not being implemented,” Birx said in the report, according to the Post. The memo also reportedly warned against any mass gatherings.

What if the Democrats Get Everything They’ve Wanted?

by Rick Ackerman
RickAckerman.com

The map showed up in my email this afternoon, sent by a subscriber who, like me, simply cannot fathom polls that have Biden winning. This poll asked 373,000 people across America who they though their neighbors would vote for. Trump won in every state but Colorado, which has to mean something. If the many pollsters who have predicted Biden will romp turn out to have been wrong, I distrust the news media enough to assume that the encouraging numbers they provided to him were by design rather than error. Realize that if the major news outlets can fix things so that half of the nation has no clue what the Hunter Biden laptop scandal is all about, then they can easily fudge the results of a half-dozen surveys. I don’t go quite so far, however, as to believe, as one friend does, that the CIA is capable of hacking computers used by Pennsylvania, Texas and a few other key states to tally votes uploaded from the precincts. I wouldn’t deny that this is theoretically possible, only that the agency has shown the aptitude for staging such a coup without leaving elephant tracks.

Does America Have a Future?

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
PaulCraigRoberts.org

If the election is close tonight, the presstitutes will call it for Biden as that will be their way of putting Trump on the defensive. By repeating over and over that Biden has won, the presstitutes will position Trump as disputing the outcome and intending to remain in office.

If polls are correct that a majority of Democrats intend to vote by mail, the in-person vote of Democrats will be too small to declare a Biden victory. The strategy here will be to keep the outcome open for days while mail-in votes are counted. Some states require the votes to be in by election day (Nov. 3), but others only require a postmark by Nov. 3. In other words, many votes could be mailed today and not arrive for some days.

By keeping the outcome open, voting-by-mail gives the Democrats time to scheme how to produce the necessary votes, and the presstitutes have time to make propaganda against Trump.

Liberal pundits are already beginning to lose it as the election tide starts to favor President Trump.

ABC News George Stephanopoulos lamented Tuesday night that the 2020 election trajectory was starting to look like a “replay of 2016.”

“This is looking a little bit right now like a replay of 2016,” Stephanopoulos remarked.

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks was already cracking during a live broadcast as data began showing swings for Trump in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

Stay Focused on the Big Picture with Craig Hemke

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Craig Hemke returns… With the election season winding down, it’s time to step away from the the decption, distortion and noise and figure out what’s really going on. What’s really driving things? The math is the math. What we’ve always called it is the end of the great Keynsian Experiment. Just servicing the debt can’t be maintained by the central banks. With everything going on we’re a runaway train heading down the track towards Deadman’s Curve. Does it really matter who’s president? Just the amount required to service the existing debt is over $1 trillion per year. The Fed is manipulating the markets as always. Powell to announce that he will keep rates down until 2023 at least. And now the Fed is looking at yield control, cap interest rates because they cannot have rates go higher.

Twelve Good Things That Might Happen Today, None of Which Involve Trump or Biden

American voters have the chance to usher in a few libertarian policies this election, courtesy of these state ballot measures.

by Elizabeth Nolan Brown
Reason.com

The 2020 election has so been so dominated by Biden versus Trump insanity that a lot of consequential ballot initiates have been getting short shrift. But today, voters in various U.S. locales will have the opportunity to usher in some pretty exciting—and libertarian—policies, as well as the chance to reject a few really bad ideas.

Let’s start with the good, shall we?

Proposition 22 in California

California’s Proposition 22 would undo some of the damage wrought by A.B. 5, the 2019 state law that reclassified all sorts of independent contractors and freelancers in California as full-fledged employees. Pushed as a way to stick it to disfavored businesses like Uber and Lyft, the law has proved detrimental to workers across a range of industries, infringing on their ability to work when and how they choose as well as leading to a lot of lost jobs. If Proposition 22 is passed, it would help mitigate these ill effects for people who drive or do deliveries by allowing them to be classified as independent contractors once again.

Antifa Gearing Up for False Flag Violence Disguised as Trump-Supporters

by Thomas Lifson
American Thinker

With merchants in Democrat-run cities boarding up their storefront windows, the possibility of serious urban violence is well understood. As horrific as that could get (ask anyone who lives in Minneapolis), the progressive fascists appear to have a plan in place to make it even worse: disguising their rioters as Trump-supporters in order to make the case that Donald Trump truly is a dictator that must be violently overthrown if he wins or arrested and prosecuted if he loses.

A source that has always been reliable was able to photograph an Antifa flyer:

[…] What makes all of this particularly chilling is that progressives already are absurdly claiming that the threat of violence comes from our side. Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler warns of white racist rioters inspired by the rhetoric from Washington, D.C. (i.e., Trump):

Twitter and Facebook Censor Trump Again

by Penka Arsova
LaCorte News

Twitter and Facebook cracked down on a post from President Trump on Monday, one day before Election Day.

How we got here: President Trump’s tweet criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling on Pennsylvania’s extension for ballot counting. Pennsylvania is considered a battleground state and has been under intense scrutiny as polls suggest that the race in the state between the president and Democratic Presidential nominee is close.

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that election officials in Pennsylvania are allowed to count ballots up to three days after Election Day.

What he said: The president warned that the ruling sets a “dangerous” precedent, saying it will enable voter fraud and trigger social unrest.
