"Liberal Jim Justice just can't be trusted," says an attack ad produced for the U.S. Senate campaign of U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-West Virginia.

The twin crashes in U.S. commercial real estate and the U.S. bond market have collided with $9 trillion uninsured deposits in the American banking system. In the cyber age such deposits can vanish in an afternoon.
The second and third biggest bank failures in U.S. history have followed in quick succession. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve would like us to believe that they are "idiosyncratic." That is a dangerous evasion.

Hemke's analysis is headlined "Comex Gold JOLTed Again" and it's posted at Sprott Money here:

The threat of a real debt ceiling crisis is growing rapidly. House Republicans are still pushing steep spending cuts that the White House won't countenance, even as the Republicans remain deeply divided on a strategy. And we're now as little as eight weeks away from the "X date" when the Treasury Department no longer has legal authorization to issue new securities and fill up its checking account.

Representatives of the president's Morena party and its allies, nearly unanimously and with little debate, approved the laws in a fast-tracked process without opposition legislators present. Legislators convened outside the chamber's usual voting location after the opposition occupied the chamber to try to prevent the session.

As the U.S. federal government and Federal Reserve head ever more into the abyss of destroying the value of the U.S. dollar, continually breaching debt ceilings, creating asset bubbles, and intervening in and manipulating financial markets, there is an accelerating counterforce emerging in the U.S. that is the antithesis of this madness.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Craig Hemke's monthly wrapup on the monetary metals markets for Sprott Money is an interview with mining entrepreneur Eric Sprott, who says he is investing on the assumption of an economic recession, stock market decline, continued crisis in banking worsened by the collapse of commercial real estate, and strength in the monetary metals.
Silver has been manipulated so long, Sprott says, that one day it could explode seemingly out of the blue.
