Inflation destroys family budgets

L.A. Is Burning, America’s at War, and Silver Is Sounding the Alarm

EDITOR'S NOTES

Silver’s soaring price isn’t just a market story—it’s a warning. With global wars heating up, U.S. cities erupting in chaos, and legacy media pumping out propaganda, it’s never been clearer: the system is unraveling. Precious metals, especially silver, are flashing red alert. In this piece, Frank Balm pulls no punches on why silver’s climb matters, how it ties into collapsing trust in government and currency, and why protecting your wealth with hard assets is no longer optional—it’s survival.

Let’s not sugarcoat it. Something big is happening—and fast.

Silver just pushed past $37 an ounce. That’s not just a bump. That’s more than double what it was back in 2022. And while Wall Street spins its wheels and Washington prints promises, folks who’ve been stacking metal and buying mining shares are finally catching a breath of fresh air. Good for them.

But here’s the thing: this surge in silver isn’t just about shiny coins or mining stocks. It’s about what’s coming next—or what’s already here.

America Is Already at War—You Just Haven’t Been Told the Truth

Steve Bannon—love him or hate him—hit the nail on the head recently: “We’re in the Third World War.” But this isn’t Normandy or the beaches of Iwo Jima. It’s playing out in your backyard—especially in cities like Los Angeles.

You might be thinking, "Come on, Frank, that's dramatic." But take a look around. The streets of L.A. are war zones. Rioters torching cars, looting stores, throwing bricks at cops. They wave foreign flags and scream revolution. This ain’t just civil unrest—it’s an organized insurrection against the very fabric of America.

And if you think that’s overblown, ask yourself this: why did Trump deploy not just the National Guard, but active-duty Marines to L.A.? You think that’s a coincidence? He didn’t get that idea on the back nine at Mar-a-Lago.

This is real. This is calculated. And this is being funded, likely by foreign actors who’d love to see the U.S. torn apart from the inside.

The Media Lies While the Country Burns

And where’s the media in all this? They’re still gaslighting America.

Remember CNN describing the fires and chaos in L.A. as “mostly peaceful”? That’s not just idiocy—it’s deliberate disinformation. It’s the kind of Orwellian garbage we’ve come to expect from the New York Times, MSNBC, and every other narrative-factory in the corporate press.

They told us Biden was healthy while he slurred speeches. They told us inflation was “transitory” while grocery bills doubled. They told us lockdowns were necessary while the elites flew private to Martha’s Vineyard.

They lie because they’re paid to lie. And every lie hides a deeper truth: that America’s economy, security, and trust are on the brink.

Silver’s Surge Isn’t a Fluke—It’s a Signal

When silver jumps like this, it’s not just because people want more jewelry. Let’s get real:

  • Silver supply is tight. Most of the old mines are played out. The new stuff is deeper, dirtier, and way more expensive to extract.
  • Industrial demand is booming. From electric vehicles to solar panels, silver is the backbone of the “green” economy.
  • Global stockpiling is ramping up. Nations like China, Russia, and India aren’t dumb—they’re stacking silver (and gold) like tomorrow ain’t guaranteed.
  • And the U.S. dollar? It’s toast. Inflation, debt, and reckless spending have gutted its buying power. The dollar isn’t dying—it’s being murdered.

Let me put it another way: silver is like a thermometer in a sick economy. When the fever spikes, smart people reach for the medicine. That medicine isn’t in the Fed’s toolbox—it’s in hard assets.

History’s Warning: Silver Was Money—and Still Is

Back in the day—before the Fed got its grubby hands on everything—a dollar meant something. From 1792 to the early 1960s, one U.S. dollar was literally defined as one ounce of silver.

Now? That same ounce costs $37. That’s a 97% drop in your dollar’s buying power.

And it’s only going to get worse. Wars aren’t cheap, and they’re being fought in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. And now, they’re hitting U.S. soil.

Like Sun Tzu said in The Art of War, “Wars cost much silver.” Well guess what? We’re spending it—and not backing any of it with real money.

That’s why smart folks aren’t just buying silver. They’re treating it like lifeboats on the Titanic.
