Putin’s New Gold Standard and False Flag Operations by US

Bob Moriarty
Archives
Apr 7, 2022

You would tend to think that after as many false flag operations as the US has behind them, they would start getting better at it. But no, they are just as bad at it as they have ever been.

The whole Ukraine fiasco was created out of whole cloth by the US and the Neocons on behalf of Soros, the Davos gang, Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. The Rand corporation planned it three years ago.

Zelensky has been playing sock puppet for Nato for years. He’s good at it; he is after all an actor. And while the Russians have been kicking the shit out of the Ukrainians, Zelensky doesn’t care how many of his countrymen die. The latest false flag is the massacre of civilians in Bucha. Zelensky thinks the world is so stupid that they will take his word for the war crimes without investigation. Alas, the murders took place after the Russians left and after the Nazis moved back in. Clearly the world needs to investigate the activities of the Nazis who have been committing war crimes going all the way back to the US sponsored coup in 2014.

In 2014 someone encouraged snipers to go to the top of tall buildings and shoot anyone they wanted, both protestors and police. But if you think about it, the protestors wouldn’t shoot protestors. Likewise the police wouldn’t shoot the police. But Victoria Nuland wanted international attention to the terrible nature of the legally elected government of the country so she told her Nazi friends to shoot at both sides.

She understood that the international community wouldn’t get into an uproar unless something terrible happened. She told the Nazis that the world would pay attention only when a hundred or more of the people in the square were killed. So the Nazis killed exactly one hundred and we got our regime change. Thanks Victoria, the world owes you for your contribution. I do hope you live long enough to make it to the war crimes trials to be held after your tiny little WW III ends.

Putin put Russia and the world back on a gold standard on March 28th. Russia understands it. Clearly they planned it. But the world is still clueless. The EU has a simple choice. They can remain a lap dog for an out of control US or they can wake up and smell the roses.

When I say out of control, Biden vetoed the Keystone Pipeline and is refusing to allow new drilling on Federal ground. At the same time he has approached both Venezuela and Iran and begged them for fuel. And no doubt the actions of Putin in trying to defend Russian borders has him utterly confused, after all two million illegal immigrants have entered the US in the last year.

In 2009 Quinton Hennigh and I went to Tanzania to visit a gold project I had there. We chatted about a lot of things including how a gold standard should be administered. Quinton came up with a set of coins in both gold and silver that we felt should be the form of exchange.

I’m told that some $4.2 trillion a day is traded in the foreign exchange markets. If every country went to a gold standard based on grams rather than Dollars or Rubles or Pounds billions of dollars in fees could be saved.

China obviously is part of Russia’s new gold standard. It is taking the rest of the world longer to wake up. Germany canceled the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in a fit of pique to teach Russia a lesson. Evidentially they are going to punish Russia by shutting down the German economy. Just a couple of days ago the EU announced a ban on Potash from either Russia or Belarus. If Germany can be brave enough to be willing to shut down their economy in support of the most corrupt country in Europe, in an act of solidarity the EU is willing to let their members starve.

I do hope aliens do not exist. In spite of a lot of evidence that suggests they do exist, I just want to hope they don’t. Looking at the “leaders” of this world would convince any half smart alien that this world is an insane asylum.

Noram Completes CVZ-72 At 428ft (130.m) With Near Surface Mineralization, Over 323ft (98.4m) Of Visually Ric

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2022 / Sandy MacDougall, CEO of Noram Lithium Corp. (“Noram” or the “Company“) (TSXV:NRM)(OTCQB:NRVTF)(Frankfurt:N7R) is pleased to report that the Company has completed hole CVZ-72 (PH-06) on its Zeus lithium clay deposit in Nevada to a total depth of 428ft (130.5m). Visual inspection of the core confirmed that clays previously shown to be high in lithium grades appeared near surface and extended down to a depth of 400ft (121.9m) for a total drilled intersection of 323ft (98.4m).

Figure 1 – Two boxes of core from CVZ-72. The box on the left is from depths of 253-261.5ft (77.1-79.7m) and shows some of the black, highly reduced mudstone/claystone. The box on the right is from 288.5-298ft (87.9-90.8m) and is typical of the somewhat less reduced blue mudstone/claystone. From past drilling experience, both lithologic units are usually high in lithium content.

Figure 2 – Location of all past drill holes (Phase I to Phase V) previously completed in addition to the 12 proposed holes for Phase V1 currently underway. Phase VI holes are indicated in purple.

“We are incredibly pleased with the results from CVZ-72 albeit not surprised. Drill hole CVZ-72 was completed at 428ft (130.5m) and had predictably encouraging lithologies. Past programs have shown this to be highly mineralized material. This is exactly what one would like to see with infill drilling. Figure 3 below shows a cross section with CVZ-72 and two adjacent, previously drilled holes. The blue, green, black and magenta layers in the figure indicate claystone layers that have been shown to host the higher lithium assays from past drilling as is shown by the histograms of lithium values on the two adjacent holes. The adjacent CVZ-68 was one of the better high-grade holes with a very thick clay intercept. The drill intercepts thus far continue to be very encouraging” commented Brad Peek M.Sc. CPG., VP of Exploration and Qualified Person for this and all 5 of the previous drilling phases of Noram’s Zeus lithium property.

Figure 3. Comparative lithology for drill holes CVZ-72 as compared to CVZ-53 and CVZ-68, which were drilled as part of the Phase IV and V programs. CVZ-53 and CVZ-68 had long intercepts of high grade lithium. All of the lithology units except the brown mudstones have relatively high lithium concentrations in previous drill holes on the property. The histogram on the sides of CVZ-53 and CVZ-68 are the 5m composited lithium grades in ppm Li. The section has a 4X vertical exaggeration.https://embed.fireplace.yahoo.com/embed?ctrl=Monalixa&m_id=monalixa&m_mode=document&site=sports&os=android&pageContext=%257B%2522ctopid%2522%253A%25221542500%253B1480989%253B1481489%2522%252C%2522hashtag%2522%253A%25221542500%253B1480989%253B1481489%2522%252C%2522wiki_topics%2522%253A%2522Nor-Am_Cup%253BLithium_carbonate%253BNevada%253BCompany%253BLithium%253BZeus%253BDrilling%2522%252C%2522lmsid%2522%253A%2522a077000000LnOyOAAV%2522%252C%2522revsp%2522%253A%2522accesswire.ca%2522%252C%2522lpstaid%2522%253A%25226625f156-2f2a-3a3c-a183-387a2f813ed1%2522%252C%2522pageContentType%2522%253A%2522story%2522%257D

CVZ-72 is the second of the 12-hole Phase VI drilling program which is expected to upgrade approximately 175 million tonnes of the current 827 million tonne Inferred Resource to the Indicated category. Core samples from CVZ-72 have been shipped to ALS Laboratory in Reno, Nevada for assay processing on a “rush” basis. Assay results are pending.

Noram Completes Cvz-70 At 463ft (141.1m) With Near Surface Mineralization and Over 350ft (106.7m) Of Visually Rich Clays

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2022 / Sandy MacDougall, CEO of Noram Lithium Corp. (“Noram” or the “Company“) (TSXV:NRM | OTCQB:NRVTF | Frankfurt:N7R) is pleased to report that the Company has completed hole CVZ-70 on its Zeus lithium clay deposit in Nevada to a total depth of 463 ft (141.1m). When logging and visual inspection of the core was completed, it was noted that mineralization appeared immediately near surface and extended down to approximately 387.0 ft (138m) for a total intersection of 380ft (116m).

Figure 1 shows the Zeus project drilling to date with the various drilling phases color coded. The arrow points to the recently completed CVZ-70 hole. Other planned Phase VI holes are indicated in purple.

Figure 1 – Location of all past drill holes (Phase I to Phase V) previously completed in addition to the 12 proposed holes for Phase V1 currently underway. CVZ-70 and other planned Phase VI holes are indicated in purple.

“Drill hole CVZ-70 is an incredibly encouraging hole for Noram. Figure 2 below shows a cross section with CVZ-70 and two adjacent, previously drilled, holes. The blue, green, black and magenta layers in the figure indicate claystone layers that have been shown to host the higher lithium assays from past drilling. The 380-foot (116-meter) intersection in CVZ-62 was one of the thickest claystone intersections by far. CVZ-70 appears to likely rival this and prior holes from prior programs. Thicker intersections such as this one will have profound implications on future resource tonnage calculations” commented Brad Peek M.Sc. CPG., VP of Exploration and Qualified Person for this and all 5 of the previous drilling phases of Noram’s Zeus lithium property.

Figure 2. Comparative stratigraphy for drill holes CVZ-70 as compared to CVZ-61 and CVZ-62, which were drilled as part of the Phase V program. CVZ-61 and CVZ-62 were two of the longest intercepts drilled on the property to date.

How will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affect global food access?

Original Source: https://oec.world/en/blog/post/affects-of-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-on-global-food-access

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is endangering, even more, the supply of food. Russia and Ukraine play a critical role in food production. In 2019, for example, the two countries accounted for sixteen percent of global exports of cereals, including wheatbarleysunflowers, and corn. Moreover, the U.S.Russia, and Ukraine dispute the top spots in global exports with Brazil, Argentina, and Canada. Although we don’t have 2021 data for Ukraine, as recent as 2019, the country referred to as “the breadbasket of Europe” was the fourth largest exporter of cereals worldwide.View in Trend Explorer →

The drought and supply chain disruptions have impacted food trade and driven prices to historic highs. Cereals, for example, set record prices in 2021, increasing 48% in the last five years. Higher prices are the result of a historic drought affecting crops in the U.S., and value chain bottlenecks. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we will experience even higher prices and reduced access to food. With the war, there will be less production of crops, reduced trade, and higher costs of fuel, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs linked to oil and gas prices.

With the invasion, cereal exports from Ukraine will virtually stop, and financial sanctions will likely affect exports from Russia, threatening food security worldwide. In addition, the war will impact food access in several countries: EgyptTurkeyIranBangladeshNigeriaMoroccoYemenTunisiaAzerbaijan, and Sudan, among others. In 2019, these ten countries imported $20.9B in cereals, almost 44% from Russia and Ukrain.

But two countries are facing a bigger problem with constrained supply.Egypt and Turkey account for 17% of global wheat imports, and they are also the biggest importers of wheat from Ukraine and Russia.

In 2019, these two countries imported $6.82B of wheat; 71% came from Russia and Ukraine. And those numbers have grown more. In 2021, for example, Egypt imported $1.39B from Russia, an annual growth of $65.7M (34.1%).

Wheat is essential for Egyptians’ diet. People in Egypt consume bread at twice the global average.View in Trend Explorer →

And it’s not only Egypt: more than 95% of Russia and Ukraine’s cereal exports to Africa are wheat. In 2021, for example, Russia exported $2.84B of this crop to Africa, an annual growth of $42.2M (11.8%).View in Trend Explorer →

The war comes as wheat imports by Turkey and Iran will double in 2022 as a regional drought limits domestic production in these countries. In 2021, for example, Turkey imported 6.7 million tons of wheat ($1.58B) from Russia, an increase of $10.9M (5.26%) in one year. And Ukraine ranks second.View in Trend Explorer →View in Trend Explorer →

Egypt, Turkey, and many other countries in Africa and Asia will see their wheat supply cut dramatically. There’s a need to find alternative suppliers. There is a country that exports as much wheat as Russia: the U.S.View in Trend Explorer →

The U.S. continues to be one of the world’s largest wheat producers, with close to 17% of global exports. On average, the U.S. exports 50% of wheat grown. In 2021, the U.S. exported $7.29B of wheat.View in Trend Explorer →

The U.S. is the biggest exporter of cereals globally, with $30.5B in 2021. However, two-thirds are corn ($19.4B), and $7.68B are wheat.View in Trend Explorer →

Most wheat exports from the U.S. go to Asia and North America. In 2021, the U.S. exported only $68M to Africa and none to Turkey.

There is only one big problem with American wheat exports; they are declining. In 2021, the U.S. exported 1.48B of metric tons of the crop, 23% less than the previous year.

A historic drought in the U.S. is grasping an area responsible for a fifth of fruits, cereals, and vegetable exports globally. From the Gulf of Mexico to the North Pacific to Main Street, farmers, ranchers, and consumers face the painful effects of the Great American Drought. As heatwaves get more extreme and frequent, we are experiencing a point upward from the High Plains to West to South.

Oregon, Texas, and Louisiana concentrated more than 90% of wheat exports in 2021. However, the drought has affected 41% of yields in the U.S., reducing exports by 29% metric tons and increasing the prices of flour and other wheat products.View in Trend Explorer →

The drought is also affecting other wheat exporters. France, responsable for around ten percent of global exports of wheat, has decreased its exports too due to bad weather. In 2020, for example, wheat harvest was 25% less than 2019 because of unfavorable weather conditions. A once in 100 year drought is also affecting Argentina, a country with five percent of wheat exports.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine poses severe risks to global food security. The war introduces considerable uncertainty into an already tight food supply chain. Although Egypt and Turkey will experience significant disruptions to their wheat imports, the effects are far reaching. Countries in Africa and Asia are highly dependent on Ukraine and Russia for cereals, particularly wheat.

With droughts and skyrocketing food and gas prices, there is the risk that some may seek to restrict exports. But, as we have seen before, trade restrictions on food have harmful effects, particularly on the most vulnerable countries.

Going to Get Bad, Really Bad – David Morgan

Original Source: https://usawatchdog.com/going-to-get-bad-really-bad-david-morgan/

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Last year about this time, precious metals expert and financial writer David Morgan was warning about massive money printing and the so-called “everything bubble” popping.  Inflation is the pin, and it found the bloated debt bubble.  Now get ready for some pain as Morgan explains, “It’s going to get bad, and I mean really bad.  There is already mass starvation at the lower end of the economic scale in third world countries. . . . Prices are going to be untenable for many people, especially those in the middle class. When you get gasoline going up to the $5, $6, $7 range and you’ve got food going up to the level it’s gone up to and continues to go up to, it’s going to be bad.  I am focusing on real stuff, not the bond market or what the price of gold is going to do.  I am talking about day-to-day living. . . . When gasoline goes from $3.50 per gallon to $5.50 per gallon and you start doing the math on how much it takes to fill up your car and drive it back and forth to work every day, all of a sudden you’ve got diminishing returns.  Then factor in what your heating bills and what your grocery bill is going to be.  So, there is going to be a lot of people at the margin, and the margin keeps moving up.  It’s a few percent of the population.  Then it’s 10% and then 20% and so on.  When food gets to be 50% of your budget, then there are food riots.  That’s the trend . . . and I think we will get there. . . . We know the ‘Arab Spring’ was not about politics.  It was about food.  We are going to see ‘Arab Springs’ spring up all over the place because of food costs and availability.  You can have a lot of money and not be able to get food too.”

It’s not just physical assets that are going to be affected, but the financial system too.  Morgan says, “What is all this going to do to the financial system?  It’s breaking, but it’s been broken for a long time.  We just have not seen the end result—yet.  I don’t think the bankers really thought this through all the way.  If you look at the way Russia is, they are a hardened people.  They are used to suffering.  They are used to standing in line for bread and potatoes.  They are not like other nations. . . . This is going to get uglier and uglier and harder and harder.  I do not think this is going to get resolved anytime soon.”

What does Morgan see coming?  Morgan says, “There are going to be cyber-attacks, and they are going on right now.  There is going to be communication breakdown.  Number three, there are going to be consequences that nobody can see at this point.  And to reiterate, it’s a mess, and it’s going to get messier, and it’s not going to be resolved quickly.”

Morgan see’s gold at $2,300 by the end of this year and silver near $40 per ounce.  In 2023, all bets are off, and Morgan contends you could see both metals way higher than they are now.  Morgan says, “Silver will outperform gold in the long run on a percentage basis. . . . Silver will outperform gold four to one.”  Morgan also says, “Demand for the metals from pensions funds and other big money managers is a “trend that is just getting started.”

Morgan also talks about the importance of cash and what the signal will be to get out of the U.S. dollar.
