Was mulling similar issues today... Had long since parsed the issues in bits (digitial) vs (real) bites (commodities) of course... We've chatted here about that element in how commodities are deliberately undervalued in order to drive an aggregation of the value extracted in the economy into fewer collection points nearer to the center... I see evidence in parallel with the theme of the article that many people are now waking up to the fact that "the price is the price" is not actually reality... and that mercantilist price suppression is a far more organized and far more nefarious element in the operating system of the oligarchy than many consider... The collection of 10% for the big guy at every stage... adds up to a lot more than 10% as it aggregates larger "takings" in the undervaluation of inputs, as materials, in exchange... as it pushes profits to the top ? The most abused commodity there is... silver... is massively undervalued relative to any "real" free market function occurring. And, the persistence of the effort made in manipulating silver... apparent in the trade again today... has now reached and exceeded that natural limit we've discussed... where the suppression of price forces reductions in supply. Silver is dramatically undervalued... relative to peers in the industrial metals space... never mind its recent 50% additional haircut relative to gold... And, in result... silver shortages are beginning to occur now... and silver is already serving as the limiting factor in the "crux of broken supply chains"... and it will increasingly be imposing limits in electronics manufacturing industries... as miners turn out to be not only unwilling but unable to produce the stuff "for free"... even if attempting to do that by constantly robbing the investors to subsidize the takings... Louder grinding noises are coming from efforts engaging those gears already this week... I think their McNamara bean counter style analysis of the war based on #'s is wholly superficial... fitting quite well within the rubric of : "How To Lie With Statistics". Hard to count it a strike against the Ukes for having lost twice the number of helicopters they had and 8 times the number of drones that they started with, for instance ? Of course, as McNamara... using "estimates"... is not a particularly reliable means of managing anything, much less a war... even if it does make it easy to produce nice colorful "infographics"... And, of course, the noise thus emitted is also a grinding of gears that only distracts from the proper parsing of the real division... between a proper analysis of the "real" war... and the parallel in a proper analysis of the "economic" war... I don't think that the two are separable in terms of "interest", of course... But, what happens in Ukraine has almost nothing to do with what happens in the oil markets... in the production and distribution of natural gas... or production of gold, silver, palladium, nickel... That the article notes it that the morons running things are discovering "real things are important"... shouldn't really allow anyone who likes to eat to rest easy... ? The war and the economic war intersect in Ukraine when it comes to food... as Ukraine's wheat crop is a significant portion of the world total... along with meaningful production of other grains... the "real" war is going to bring that aspect home to everyone, soon... as harvest 2022 is unlikely to provide enough for the world to eat... making starvation in 2023 increasingly likely... But, my own mulling... has focused more on the "all wars are banker wars" meme... What we're seeing... being the natural result of allowing an excess in mercantilism and monopoly... is "a war of the oligarchs"... You see people chatting openly about whether or not its possible that tPutin is really still on the same team as all of his other WEF Alums... since it appears he's actually fighting a war with them... even if the purpose in the war being fought... is to enable the destruction of the dollar in order to usher in the "mark of the beast" in the form of a global digital currency... that intends to make the bankers cabal all powerful and omniscient... by subjecting you to their imposition of a new "technologically enhanced" form of money... that spies on you for them... and gives them total control over your ability to participate in the economy... And, only irony, of course... the bankers sense of humor... that the result being sought... is being enabled by the pretense of a war conducted on the basis of having abused exactly that power they seek to enable frar more broadly... as it is being waged against the few posturing as objecting to that control... So, the war we have... is a war between the oligarchs... to determine which of them will own that power to control the world... using their new and all powerful digital money... that no one in their right mind would ever agree to use... And, also all irony... that most of what we see occurring in result of that war of the oligarchs now being engaged... is proofs of how incredibly stupid it is to have ever given those oligarchical morons power and control over anything.... We no longer need banks... Technological innovation makes them irrelevant... Their persistent greed paired with constant effort in seeking power and imposing control... has converted them into increasingly destructive parasites... It is time to end the banks... end the oligarchy... end mercantilism... end government and banker control of money... and end the fraud of "global" anything being an "advantage"... rather than a fraud intending to usurp power and impose control over you... The war of, by, between and for the oligarchs would not exist without it... and it will end only when we destroy... that source of illegitimate power... for which they have fostered these events, as part of the effort made seeking to create, own, and control it... and in doing so... taking ownership and control over you...
