The explosion in the price of silver threatens to collapse vital supply chains and the financial system itself.

Spyware Firm NSO's Chief Steps Down as U.S. Lifts Sanctions on Intellexa Executives

After first-term Trump ambassador Friedman was appointed chair of Pegasus-maker NSO as part of a takeover by a Hollywood producer, the CEO steps down amid a possible shift in U.S. spyware policy under Donald Trump

The chief executive of the Israeli spyware maker NSO Group, Yaron Shohat, said on Thursday he was stepping down, according to a letter sent to employees and obtained by Haaretz. The company confirmed the move, which comes amid a broader overhaul – the latest in a series of changes underway at the famous Israeli spyware maker, as it attempts to reinvent itself after a multi-year bitter confrontation with the United States after NSO was economically "blacklisted" by the Biden administration.

Shohat wrote to employees that in light of changes in ownership and a new investment, he concluded that the time had come to "hand over the wheel." Despite a tenure full of "challenges and obstacles," he said the firm "continued to proudly serve our customers – security and intelligence organizations."

He will step down in the coming days and will accompany the company until a new CEO is appointed. In the interim, Akiva Rosner will serve as acting CEO.

Rosner represents Jewish American Hollywood producer Robert Simonds, who is leading the company's new group of creditors. Two months ago, NSO announced the appointment of David Friedman – who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel during Trump's first administration – as executive chairman of the spyware maker, alongside the transfer of control of the company's debt to new owners.

Main Points Revealed from the Meeting

Hidden Sell-Off of US Treasuries: Foreign central banks are quietly dumping US Treasuries through offshore channels, intermediaries, and swaps to avoid triggering a public market crash. Official data hides the scale; direct sales would cause immediate collapse.

Repo Market Instability: Markets are breaking down with erratic spikes, exacerbated by events like Saudi Arabia joining BRICS, leading to three major foreign holders seeking to exit dollar assets.

Impending Pension Losses: Officials estimate $3-5 trillion in losses for pension funds if interest rates rise significantly, with no tools available to prevent it.

Shift in Mindset: Central bankers have moved from denying the dollar's decline to accepting a transition to a multipolar currency world, focusing on managing the fallout rather than preventing it.

Emergency Preparations: Drafting plans for capital controls, restrictions on currency conversions, bank holidays, expanded dollar swap lines, and unlimited bond purchases.

World Economic Forum Davos Jan 19 Attendees to Include TRUMP

Is Trump going to stab Putin in the back and deploy troops to Ukraine? According to Zelenskky – Yes. Is Trump going to keep pirating oil tankers? According to CSIS, the answer is – Yes. Is Trump going to bomb Iran on orders of Netanyahu? A resounding – Yes. Can America decolonize from Israel? Not unless Trump and all of congress resign or are impeached – a slim to nothing odds game.

What’s the end-game? By the time Gaza is decontaminated and rebuilt both Trump and Netanyahu will be in their 90’s or deceased. Trump is spreading America’s military thinly with multiple, simultaneous war efforts. It is only a matter of time before retaliation invites China and Russia and right now Trump is walking a crooked line with Putin and Jinping. Neither of whom want a World War – philosophically more interested in economic evolution and innovation.

But Trump’s about-faces seem to coincide with Netanyahu ‘meetings’ whereby Trump follows stipulated orders. Though it is likely Netanyahu is simply the middleman messenger given he hasn’t the IQ of a tomato. His brain is fried on his sex addiction. He was likely an avid visitor to Epstein Island which is partially why the files cannot be made public without heavy redactions. The question is – who is Netanyahu’s Handler?

Outside of America wherein Netanyahu was also buddies with Biden, Netanyahu’s flight destinations include Cyprus, UK, and Italy. Recently, Hungary has been added to his fray with Orban bending over like a dutiful chairholder for his kingship. Whoever does NOT grovel is added to a potential List on behalf of Netanyahu’s Handler.

For several years Netanyahu has been injecting himself into the government of Cyprus. Like America, the citizens of Cyprus are not as embracing of Israel’s interference in the mechanics of their country. However, the governments of both Cyprus and Greece have drawn closer in military endeavors and cooperation, including Israel selling weapons via it’s defense contractor, Elbit Systems whose Chairman, coincidentally, bears the name of the unknown person mentioned in the Charlie Kirk Dossier, Mikey. It is unclear if Israel is ‘reselling’ military weapons supplied by American Taxpayers…

Within the Greek Cypriot financial system is an institutional body that oversees all financial institutions, The Hellenic Bank Association. The HBA is committed to the 17 global Sustainable Development Goals of the World Economic Forum, as well as their 169 ‘subgoals’.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Greece, is a World Economic Forum Leader, who went to Harvard, worked for McKinsey & Co (a senior partner of the WEF) in the UK, criminalized the dissemination of ‘fake news’, is accused of censoring the media, and was heavily involved with members of the Biden Regime.

Michael Snyder–In A Desperate Attempt To Stop The Bleeding, A Conspiracy To Force The Price Of Silver Down Is Unfolding Right In Front Of Our Eyes

When it comes to metal, Martin Armstrong says, "People who know war and crisis are coming are buying metals. . .. We have creative destruction. You have AI coming in and you have unemployment rising and you have GDP rising. . .. You have shortages in commodities on top of this. . .. Then you have geopolitical nonsense. Anthony Blinken (Secretary of State in the Biden Administration) put sanctions on Russia. Look at the metals. What did it do? It cut off the supply of gold, silver and platinum coming out of Russia. Now, you have China putting in a ban on exporting silver as of January 1, 2026. This is rather important. China controls about 60% of the supply of silver. . .. This is one of the reasons why silver jumped up dramatically. This is a perfect storm. On top of all this, NATO is there only for war. That is it. . .. Socrates is still saying Europe will lose badly in a war with Russia."

Armstrong sees a bull market for gold, silver and other metals for years ahead. One big reason is shortages in the metals. Armstrong says, "I don't see these shortages going away. The bull market is more likely to go into 2032. It will be volatile, and then you've got war coming. Once you get into war, prices are going to go up even more. It's all a mess. This is a perfect storm."
