Gold & silver price outlook While Zang does not foresee a complete collapse in 2025, she predicts increased volatility, suggesting that spot silver could reach around $50 while spot gold could reach $3,500 to $4,000. However, she also points out that the actual fundamental value of gold is closer to $40,000, and silver is around $2,000. https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2025-01-27/banks-are-big-casinos-when-system-implodes-itll-take-everything-it-lynette

US equity futures and global markets are tumbling as rising weekend fears that China's DeepSeek's R1 AI platform could lead to a collapse in capex spending plans, have culminated in a wholesale rout of tech names around the world. And since tech is by and far the most important sector to global equities, almost nothing has been spared (with the possible exception of the energy sector which for months was used as a pair trade to fund tech longs). As a result, what as of 6pm on Sunday night (when futs opened) was a mere DeepSelling trickle. https://www.zerohedge.com/market-recaps/deepsink-global-markets-crash-cheap-china-ai-panic

As expected, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is resigning after more than nine years leading Canada, amid a collapse in approval ratings and a rebellion within his political party. Trudeau, 53, currently the longest-serving leader of any G-7 country, announced Monday he plans to step down as head of the governing Liberal Party. He will remain as prime minister until a new leader is selected, and parliament has been suspended until March 24 while that process is underway. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trudeau-out-canadian-prime-minister-likely-resign-week

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was mercilessly heckled on Monday after a Liberal Party fundraiser at the Canadian Museum of History, as his administration teeters on the verge of collapse. "You failed Canada," shouted conservative commentator 'Right Blend,' as Trudeau grinned like an idiot. "You've ruined our country! You're done! Walk away, you don't have an ounce of your father's integrity..." https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/youre-done-trudeau-mercilessly-heckled-government-implodes

Europe is disintegrating as legacy political regimes are collapsing over across the world. Just one week after Marine Le Pen precipitated the collapse of the French government, on Monday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote in the German Parliament on Monday, a defeat that effectively ended the increasingly unpopular government he has led since 2021 and ushered in elections early next year. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/timing-absolutely-terrible-german-government-collapses-just-one-week-after-french

In this week’s episode of the Collapse Life podcast, James Corbett joins host Zahra Sethna to explore the challenges and future of independent journalism. With mainstream media trust at an all-time low and censorship on the rise, Corbett shares insights on what both consumers of content and creators of content can do to parse truth from fiction, support the decentralization of information, and empower ourselves to be informed without falling victim to addictive and demoralizing social media. https://activistpost.com/2024/11/the-future-of-decentralized-media-james-corbett-on-collapse-life.html

Never, ever forget this: The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide No matter how bad you think COVID policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed. It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/cdc-planned-quarantine-camps-nationwide

You don’t need to be a fan of Jeff Bezos, any more than of Mark Zuckerberg, to recognise that it is a good thing that prominent representatives of the financial and political elite of modern societies, whatever their personal flaws and contradictions, at least begin to express doubts about the conduct and values of media organisations. Some truths, no matter how obvious, will not resonate across society until prominent opinion leaders viewed as “safe” or “established,” say them out loud. Bezos opens his Washington Post op-ed by pointing out that public trust in American media has collapsed in recent generations and is now at an all-time low https://www.zerohedge.com/political/jeff-bezos-right-legacy-media-must-self-reflect

Hours after the German government collapsed, forcing Chancellor Olaf Scholz to call for a confidence vote that he said would take place on January 15 (which if he were to lose, which is virtually certain, will force a snap election by March), Reuters reports that Germany's cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft law that would allow the army to gauge the readiness of the country's 18-year-olds to serve in the Bundeswehr as it looks to boost troop numbers for NATO obligations without resorting to conscription https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hours-after-collapse-german-cabinet-approves-draft-law-military-service

The Real “Green” in the Green Agenda They don’t really care if it all collapses in the end (which it will) as long as they get rich at taxpayer expense in the meantime. All of this behavior is clear as far as it goes. What is not clear is the extent to which the Green New Scammers are doing this with your money. The best example is multibillionaire Larry Fink, who runs the giant BlackRock investment fund. Fink has been aggressive in promoting the climate scam along with racial quotas, DEI and defunding police. He’s entitled to his opinions. But is he entitled to pursue his radical agenda with pension fund money from conservative states and institutions? https://activistpost.com/2024/10/the-green-new-scam-is-dying.html
