Silver will only break out when the system has run out of ammunition.

A long time ago, they found that keeping silver, wheat, and two other commodities in check pretty much kept all commodities in check over the long term.

The artificial suppression of commodity prices has crippled expansion of raw resource supplies and is a key component factoring into current shortages. It's how the absolutely insane scenario unfolds where most of our commercial produce comes from california, mexico, and guatamala rather than from local production - how aluminum refinement in the U.S. hit effectively zero for two years in the 2010s.

The whole balance of the power structure hinges on the ability to keep market exploitation of raw resources under their control - as resource exploitation means economic mobility and freedom.

I would also argue their suppression is a huge part of disposable culture that has arisen. Because raw resources have their market value gimmicked low - the free market has been slow to adopt solutions to recycling efforts as it is only commercially viable for a few resources.

If we had real price discovery of commodities, you would see urban and rural wealth practically invert overnight and every landfill would become a gold mine. The tweakers would have every landfill sorted and scrapped out in 36 months.

Fraud may vitiate everything, but the case will still end up before SCOTUS.

The problem lay in the fact that the election process states that the States are to appoint electors. The States select the President via the electors. The public election is a courtesy/tradition. There is no constitutional provision for a popular election for the Presidency. States have traditionally, and per their own legal processes, apportioned their votes in accordance with the popular vote.

So, even if those state elections were fraudulent - the problem is that the federal process doesn't stipulate how the electoral college is to vote.

About the best thing that could be done is to simply nullify the election - but then what does that mean for all executive action? - and while we can say "it is like it never happened" …. How does one even begin to carry that out in practice?

Does it filter down through the line of succession - IE - does the Speaker become POTUS?

Fraud vitiates everything effectively means that the election never happened, and that would mean that the office of the President and Vice President was technically vacant when President Trump left office.

Does that mean that if Pelosi tried to act as the President during that time, that it goes?

When is the next election for the President held?

This will be a constitutional crisis as the foundations of a democratically elected republic have been shaken and the people who currently seat much of that republic - who have long benefited from the corruption - are the ones who are supposed to be the ones to sort out what happens.
