Since we cannot know with certainty because farmers never inform the cattle of their intentions aforehand, it could be anything. And it could be as easily that Trump is Mr. Fix-It and the VP choice might be a signal which affirms such.

What can be seen is that there is a roll back of Woke going on. This has been certain, at least to me, ever since Musk almost effortlessly bought Twitter. This trend now in motion is not expressly designed for 'our' benefit (you, me and us), but of necessity in order for the high orders of the ruling establishment (class) to retain control such as is necessary for the maintenance of continued power.

I think the first Trump presidency was beta-testing, probing the infrastructure for strengths as well as for weaknesses ... and an identification process of the lay of the land and its cast of characters.

Also, I noticed that whoever was behind Trump did NOT contest the Great Banana Republic Election of 2020, not with any determination whatsoever. In that sense, I think maybe that Sidney Powell and Lin Wood got played. And yet the mission got accomplished which was total exposure of the political rot, including election vote counting. And I think that the four years of President Cabbage was always in the game plan as preparation of ground. And after all, the ground is always prepared ahead of the planting. Show folks how bad things really are and get as many dummies on board with The Plan as possible.

I think that Trump will get in as Mr. Fix-It, a rebranding of the franchise requiring a total restructure (financial, economic, political and to a large extent, social and cultural). And it looks to me that the undertaking in this direction is well underway. But this is only my guess based upon perceived trends in motion. And one must allow that any serious derailment (like a McCackle presidency) of what is now trending could require a stark reassessment, even including Western Civilization in a catastrophic collapse (and right now, we are real close to lights out!).

So, this election is indeed pivotal. And everything is on the board for winner take all. High stakes. And if VP McCackle gets in, all bets are off. And most of the above is flawed and a total overhaul reassessment will be in order. However said, a big tip off is that Wall Street, a lot of it, is now for 'change we can believe in' and not the same old, same old slogan change.

Massive uncertainty about the future is pretty much baked into the cake these days, that's for sure. We are pretty much frozen from a planning any big expense at this point., we are keeping powder dry in case we need it to eat if it all hits the fan.

Uncertainty -- no doubt about that. Almost impossible to guess what comes next. And yet the tell tale thing I've been noticing over the past year or so is that the very best in the financial alternative community seem unable to say what is coming next other than comments on instability in markets, liquidity and so on. And so, what exactly is going to happen next is anybody guess. The only real agreement is that some kind a big monetary restructure has to happen, as big or bigger than Bretton Woods. Accordingly, the smart big money has been migrating from paper to hard assets, including the commodities sector, including gold and silver.
