Precious Metals Lack A 'Narrative' Today

I received a communication very recently discussing the prospects for silver.

Categorically it is not possible to view price stability exhibited in both gold and silver markets as absent of interference by 'the Russians...' It must be 'the Russians,' after all - it can't be a concerted effort by the global network of Clearstream-enabled Central Banks. Because then that would be criminal fraud and conspiracy to cheat traders and investors and others.

But regardless of whoever is doing it, it is difficult to see near-term price rises without some obvious change in this scam of limitless forward selling using printed fiat and then 'buying in' on the shaken out 'longs' and even commercial vault holders of physical.

Yet, against the background of this seeming absolute 'control' of the market, is the existence of an unacknowledged crack in the fabric of all bankers' 'space-time continuum.' Clearstream, the public-company owned iteration of what was originally the vital Swiss Settling and Custody Aktiengesetz that all Central Banks previously depended on for the SWIFT system, has had a declining uptake against competing platforms such as the basic internet Blockchain system. What this really means is that something has gone wrong with the 'elite.' They control nothing now. Theoretically, maybe, they could control some aspects of governments' policies to do with the internet, but they literally cannot control the actual internet itself because it is independent - with modern wireless systems - of network infrastructure run by government, or even 'seen' by governments.

We might have to face some situation at some point around the next corner, in which banks and traditional currencies develop insurmountable problems concerning being universally accepted tokens of exchange. I mean it seems silly, but what if dirty Russian 'money' starts transferring London real estate using BitCoin... It's not going to see the City of London prevent them from doing this, because money laundering using false valuations, is how London functions economically at all, and as long as they (the London Freemasonry 'masters') get their 'cut' they're not going to object especially not if it means not getting any 'cut' at all if they do object. If money is 'dirty' because it is from dubious Russian sources, BitCoin is far easier to 'acquire' without the taint if you happen to be a Russian oligarch with access to a Moscow semi-government financial account ledger.

Yeah. We've got a problem all right. And the media doesn't want to talk about it and governments are certainly not going to admit it. Literally, it's already the case that banks are an irrelevancy. Sure they still pay political lobbies, but to do what? They can attain no further control (from where they once were at the zenith) and have actually already lost control of the monetary tiger.

Very nice 'Damascene' silverware

Gold and silver have not changed their roles as a monetary 'backstop.' We can definitely look at slowly averaging a meaningful physical position.

But in terms of wider public demand, the public always needs a media-led 'narrative.' Gold Rush Fever! Spanish Silver! Pirates' Treasure!

Even the Chinese, who once were the leading exponents of silver casting, never talk about gold or silver in the terms they once did. Nor do the Japanese, and nor does anyone else for that matter.

There are some amazing arts that were historically associated with silver mining and silver stores - Damscening, the art of inlaying different metals, usually against silver or gold, produced stunning works in antiquity. Same with Toledo silver worked sword hilts.

A 'dirham' is an Arabic silver coin, as you well know

Sterling silver tea services are still bought at auctions but not given any kind of significant notation in the present-day media.There is a whole specific Russian silver style of craft that used to command huge prices - probably still does, but it is conducted outside of the media's glare.

There is no narrative going on in the general media and the public has lost interest in silver and gold.

And what does that mean?
