I’ve been expecting a break up of the USA for many years now. I’ve been surprised by the countries resilience to this however the divisive nature of politics since the Cold War supposedly finished has placed increasingly greater pressure on this union. Brexit, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia all point to this for different reasons. Of course this moves us onto the next stage of various powers taking advantage of smaller weaker countries and expanding their imperialistic ambitions. Does Georgia become part of the Russian empire, the crumbling eu or stay independent. Answers on a post card.
“In 1860, Abe Lee and the Slater Party discovered $8 million in gold in California Gulch on the outskirts of what is now Leadville, Colorado. The "Gold Rush" had begun. Thousands flocked to "Oro City", as the settlement was called, to stake their claim of the golden fortunes. By the mid 1860s, however, was short lived, as the vast numbers of prospectors quickly depleted the gold reserves.
Alvinus Wood and William Stevens, gold miners in Oro City, discovered that "all that black stuff" in the sand that separated from their gold search was actually silver bearing lead ore and recognized it's worth in 1874. Old gold claims were quickly bought up and the "Silver Boom" had begun. Millionaires were made almost overnight, such as: Horace Tabor, David May, J.J. Brown and his wife Margaret, the Guggenheims and the Boettcher family.
"Cloud City" as it became known, incorporated and changed it's name to Leadville in 1878. By 1880, some 30,000 residents had swarmed to the rich, second largest city in Colorado.
Horace Tabor and his wife, Augusta, owned a general mercantile store in Leadville. Profits from his store allowed Tabor to invest in silver mining operations. Tabor's success made him a powerful man and politician in town.
The fame and fortune of Leadville did not attract just the business barons. Molly Brown (Unsinkable Molly Brown) arrived in Leadville in the 1880s, as a seamstress and eventually married J.J. Brown. Susan B. Anthony, Jesse James and "Buffalo Bill" all visited during the Boom Days.
Doc Holliday moved to Leadville shortly after the shootout at the OK Corral. Ill with tuberculosis, Holliday was confronted by ex-lawman Bill Allen about a $5 debt. Records indicate that Holliday shot, but did not kill Allen...the last man to be shot by Holliday. Though penniless, the $8,000 bail was raised by Holliday's wealthy friends and he was acquitted in March 1885.
The repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893 spelled ruin for Horace Tabor and many others who profited from the mining riches of the area. Now destitute, Tabor died penniless and Baby Doe froze to death in the small shack at the Matchless Mine.
The "Silver Boom" was over, and miners in the area now had to mine for other, less productive minerals, such as lead, zinc and molybdenum (named for Molly Brown).

(WABAC, to the future, machine) Sherman, Wm Tecumseh’s brother (for when velvet legislation doesn’t work … Sherman’s march to the oh say why can’t you see?). Same Snidely Sibling as put his name to the defunctified “Antitrust Act” that didn’t & won’t deflect Peter Thiel et al.
Gold is “now illegal tender.” And snitches “will get a slice of civil asset forfeitures they call in.” So it is written, so let it be done: the first commandment.
Pharaoh’s faro table & Mose gets manual’d … every time, but for rule proving exceptions that fuel the sugared tank of gamblers ruin rune-hope (what happens in Vegas stays everywhere, every when):
Far from perfect, but some decent flake in Lobaczewski’s Political Ponerology - The Science of Evil, Psychopathy, & the Origins of Totalitarianism re predicting what abnormal psychologies - with a little ton of help from their normie captives - will do (it isn’t all that open-ended).
I don't think there will be another gold heist. Right now, gold isn't considered as money by the government; they don't want to monetize it. Besides, following the precedent of Freaking Drunk Roosevelt (FDR), they'd have to pay for it.
On the separatism issue, wouldn't making big cities like Chicago their own city-state be an good solution? Chicago holds the rest of Illinois hostage, same with NYC and NY state. NYC's population was much smaller relative to the rest of the state when the Constitution was written.
On X, Grok mentioned that on March 26 there were over 49,000,000 SLV Shares sold short. On April 16, the number was at a 5 year high… combined with a bearish put-call spread… I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t want to see a fast short squeeze. I want the short frogs to boil… and you do that slowly. Keep an eye on the Friday London Fixes. Higher highs and a dropping silver:gold ratio is the sign.

I think Doug is on to something:

POTUS strikes me a Peronist.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Maybe?
Yep, analysing satellite data

An attempt by the bullion banks to keep physical prices suppressed. (In reality shorts on PSLV don't allow physical withdrawals).
