The war has just extended to the financial system:
Iran has just ordered that everyone in the region stay 1 kilometer away from US and Israeli banks and financial centers.
This occurred after the US and Israel attacked Iranian banks overnight.
Iran's response: US and Israeli banks "must expect our painful response."
Think about what this means.
– First, military targets – Then, leadership – Next, oil infrastructure – After that, water infrastructure – Now, banks and financial institutions
Each week, this war crosses a new line.
Iran's joint military command confirmed that banks and financial institutions are now officially on their list of targets. The AP confirmed the information.
It’s no longer just about missiles. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has also issued a decree stating that "the enemy will no longer have security anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes."
The FBI has put the state on maximum alert across the US. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned about cyberattacks on American financial infrastructure.
Iran does not need to physically bomb a bank in New York. A coordinated cyberattack against financial systems would cause chaos.
And Iran has some of the most sophisticated hackers on the planet, backed by a state.
This war started with bombs. Now, it is shifting to the only place that could harm the US more than any missile ever could.
It is a "large combat operation". Their words, not mine.
Here is what the US intends to do:
1. Total destruction of Iran's missile forces, production facilities, and naval fleet. Not to degrade. To destroy.
2. Eliminate the terrorist groups supported by the regime so they can never destabilize the region or attack American forces with improvised explosive devices. Thousands of Americans have been killed and injured by these networks.
3. Ensure that Iran NEVER obtains a nuclear weapon. This comes after Operation Midnight Hammer has already destroyed three significant nuclear facilities. Iran was still enriching uranium and refused to negotiate.
4. Elimination of the regime. Forty-nine high-ranking Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Khamenei, would have been killed in just the initial attacks.
The White House is also presenting this as something that presidents have wanted to do for 50 years but have never realized.
This is the largest US military operation in the Middle East since Iraq.
The social security trust fund will be depleted by 2033:
The report from the administrators of 2025 says it all.
After that, all retirees in the United States will face a 23% cut in their salary overnight, by law.
Think about that for a second.
If you expect to receive US$ 2.000 per month, you will now receive US$ 1.540. That means US$ 5.520 less per year in your income.
For millions of elderly people, this means money for rent, medicine, and food.
Now, add to that inflation…
Since 2020, the dollar has lost about 25% of its purchasing power. The prices of soft drinks have not followed this drop, not even close.
So, your benefit will be cut by 23%, and what remains buys much less than it does today.
You are being hit twice. But the situation gets even worse…
If you are in your 40s now, you have been contributing to this system throughout your entire career.
When you become eligible, the pension fund will have been empty for years.
You will be receiving a reduced benefit, with a dollar that buys half of what it does today.
That’s why a growing number of people in their 40s and 50s simply will not retire.
Your retirement plans were raided in 2020 and 2022, housing costs have doubled, real wages are stagnant, and the only program you relied on is mathematically insolvent.
Congress has known this for over 20 years.
But it is doing nothing about it.
Each year you wait, the solution becomes more painful: higher taxes… These studies are in the (U.S.A) but (Brazil) is heading down the same path....
Of the 200 largest insider transactions in the last week, all 200 were sales.
While they say that "the economy is great", they are getting rid of everything they have.
The planet's assets have plummeted at exactly the same time.
– Bitcoin hit a low of US$ 60.000 – Silver fell to US$ 64 – Stocks have fallen, especially technology stocks – The real estate market is collapsing (silently)
There was a small recovery, but buyers are being used as exit liquidity at the moment.
Insider investors are prioritizing protection over returns, and this trend is likely to persist until 2026.

We are witnessing a global and synchronized explosion in yields.
– 30-year US bonds reaching 4.9% – 5-year Australian bonds rising more than 2% – 10-year Japanese bonds skyrocketing
This never happens in a stable economy.
In finance, we seek correlation.
Typically, idiosyncratic risks remain local.
But that is not what is happening today.
Why are we seeing extreme statistical events across all major sovereign bond markets at the same time?
Because this has to do with the mechanics of the system.
Long-term rates say something about the credibility of the States.
That is, their ability to honor future debts without massively resorting to inflation.
Such coordinated adjustment implies that the market is no longer accepting the dominant macroeconomic thesis.
This signals internal tensions in the guarantee system.. I study the market daily to provide you with the best possible content. Wishing to support, send below.
Gold and silver wiped out US$ 5,9 trillion in market value in 30 minutes.
Do you understand how absurd this is?
To put this in perspective, we just witnessed wealth equivalent to the combined GDP of the United Kingdom and France evaporate in less time than it takes to order a pizza.
This doesn't even seem real.
A move of this magnitude, in such a short period, is far beyond a standard "6-sigma" event.
It's something unprecedented in history...
Why are we seeing this?
Extreme events like this almost always come from the market structure: instantaneous deleveraging, cascading margin calls, evaporation of collateral, and forced selling.
We are talking about huge internal stresses in the mechanics of the system.
THE SYSTEM JUST BROKE
When precious metals, assets considered "safe havens", evaporate trillions in minutes, they are explicitly saying that we are experiencing a true paradigm shift.
The coming days will be INSANE.

Last Tuesday, 30-year Japanese bonds recorded what we call a “6 sigma” session.
Two days ago, silver performed even better: it was at 5 sigma in the rise and then hit 6 sigma in the fall. IN A SINGLE SESSION.
And gold now? It rose 23% in less than a month. We are very close to a 6 sigma event.
This means three 6 sigma events in ONE WEEK.
Because we call it sigma:
Here are the 6-sigma type episodes we have seen before:
– The October 1987 crash, a 22% drop in one session – The Covid-19 drop in March 2020 – The Swiss franc surge in January 2015 – WTI oil entering negative territory in April 2020
But we have never had 3 events occurring in a week.
A 6-sigma event almost NEVER is triggered by a simple macroeconomic news.
It is important to understand this because we are talking about internal tensions in the mechanics of the system.
As you know, the Japanese bond market is at the center of the global financial system, and I won't delve into this subject, but a 6 sigma variation in such a large market does not go unnoticed.
Seeing a 6 sigma variation in silver a few days later makes us reflect quite a bit.
And Gold & Silver?
When a pillar of global financing becomes unstable, leverage tends to decrease, and two things happen simultaneously: forced selling of certain assets and forced buying of protection in others.
Historically, precious metals tend to be among the beneficiaries.
It is precisely at these moments that several high-magnitude (6-sigma) events appear across different asset classes.
I will repeat: seeing three consecutive 6-sigma events is not normal.
Gold and silver are telling us, explicitly, that we are experiencing a true paradigm shift.

In the midst of the Depression, he would say how everything was great and how much we should thank him. because thank him? Bitcoin still hasn't hit its target. wait
