Forensic Accountant Explains Why Silver Is Spiking and How He Is Lobbying the States for Sound Money

Rob Kientz, a former forensic accountant and a staunch supporter of Austrian economics, says that five years ago he predicted that the silver supply would run out, and it has been drained globally. He said that recently, thousand ounce bars were flown over to London to cover the shortage. Daniel Diaz said that over 12,500 metric tons is standing for delivery at the end of this month, but the LBMA has only has 4,600 tons. Shanghai has 2,600 tons. There isn’t enough silver to deliver. It is believed that China and other countries are demanding delivery. The ‘big four’ banks, JP Morgan, HSBC, Citigroup and Bank of America, are the market makers that hold all the derivatives that have suppressed the markets. There is an industrial shortage. Silver is a strategic metal for the United States. Diaz warned against confiscation of gold if it revalues.

Kientz is working with ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council that drafts legislation, and is educating state lawmakers in sound money that maintains its purchasing power over time through scarcity, durability, and resistance to arbitrary inflation or manipulation. Kientz says he is pushing for states to buy gold and silver reserves. Kientz is lobbying legislators and explained how people can donate their time or money to the cause to get states onboard.

Alaska Plots AI-Driven Digital Identity, Payments, and Biometric Data System that May Deny Access

Alaska redesigning its myAlaska digital ID system that would weave “Agentic Artificial Intelligence” that can read documents and fill out forms in addition to making digital payments on behalf of residents who interact with it. A system that can act “on behalf” of a person is also capable of observing and predicting their decisions.

Biometric authentication, including facial and fingerprint verification, are planned. Alaska’s move is part of a broader US trend toward national digital identity frameworks that are likely to evolve into a permanent, cross-agency tracking infrastructure.

In the future, identity verification might become routine for accessing even basic online platforms. Once digital identity becomes the default mechanism for accessing financial systems, healthcare, or even social media, “consent” is all but a formality. People who refuse may be denied access, similar to China’s social credit score system that has denied people the ability to work, travel and rent a home, and has debanked individuals.

Twins Arrested for Threatening to Shoot ICE Agents and Torture, Hang DHS’ Tricia McLaughlin

Earlier this week, federal agents and Absecon, New Jersey, cops arrested twin brothers Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores for threatening to murder ICE agents. They also threatened to torture and hang Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman Tricia McLaughlin.

Mexican cartels have created a three-tiered bounty system to monitor, harass, and assassinate federal agents for cash. Gangs in Chicago including the Latin Kings, deployed rooftop spotters “equipped with firearms and radio communications,” reportedly track the movement of ICE and Border Patrol (CBP) agents “in real-time.” The spotters then relay the agents’ coordinates. “This surveillance has enabled ambushes and disruptions during routine enforcement actions, including recent raids.”

Australia’s Social Media Ban for Those Under 16 Is Structured Like a Global Intelligence Op

A law was implemented on December 10, 2025, requiring all Australian social media users to prove their age on websites and apps including Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube. Users under the age of 16 are banned from accessing the sites/apps. Platforms are verifying users’ ages with official documents or by using AI systems that estimate a user’s age by scanning their face on camera, which is an obvious violation of privacy. Australia’s policy sets a benchmark for other governments considering teen social media bans, including Denmark, Norway, France, Spain, Malaysia and New Zealand.

Compliance will be a problem due to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Ultimately, the goal is a digital ID. When they say it’s for the children, it’s never for the children.
