ARCHBISHOP VIGANO SUES THE VATICAN BANK
by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:
This has been one of those weeks that has seemed virtually impossible to keep up with the flood of news – and hence articles that people have sent – clogging my email “inbox.” From the latest scuttlebutt on the war between Russian and The Ukraine, or the outbreak of hostilities (again) between India and Pakistan or the recent ceasefire thereto and, to the sudden, unusually quick election of an American Pope after the odds against his chances of doing so were running about 300 to 1, this has been a blur of a week to try to keep up with.
A Mega Miner Merger – Silver Price Analysis
by Craig Hemke, Sprott Money:
Soaring Gold Price Boosts Gold Miners
It has been quite the year so far for mining companies. A soaring gold price, combined with falling energy prices, has led to wide margins and rising share prices. However, the silver mining sector has been left behind somewhat. Could that be about to change?
States Move Toward Sound Money With “Transactional Gold”
by Alex Newman, Liberty Sentinel:
With the dollar’s decades-long decline in purchasing power accelerating in recent years, state governments across America are moving quickly to give citizens a constitutional option for both saving and commerce. Known as “transactional gold,” the idea is for state governments to create a system where gold and silver can easily be acquired, stored, used, saved, and turned back to dollars to be spent. Multiple states have already approved bills to do it, with more expected.

Among its headline provisions: permanent extension of the 2017 tax cuts, elimination of taxes on tips and overtime, and the creation of new MAGA savings accounts.
Is there Really a New Tariff Deal Between the U.S. and China? Or was this a Show to Boost Stock Market Value?
by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News:
News headlines today on an alleged U.S. – China trade agreement sent the Stock Market soaring today.
I found it rather curious that even though the trade agreement was reportedly finalized early yesterday (Sunday, May 11th), that both the U.S. and China stated that they would not release a joint statement until the next day, Monday (today).
Was it because they wanted their announcement to specifically have a positive impact on world stock markets? Was that part of the agreement?
Russia is not afraid of Western sanctions – Kremlin
from RT:
Moscow has long adapted to the West’s policies and knows how to minimize the negative effects, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
Russia is used to Western pressure and is not concerned about new sanctions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
He was commenting on a new round of sanctions recently imposed by the UK.
”We already know what we will do once the sanctions are announced and how we will minimize their effect,” Peskov told journalist Pavel Zarubin on Saturday. Russia has learned effective ways to counteract Western pressure, he said. “Therefore, scaring us with sanctions is pointless.”
Uncle Sam’s Chinese Dilemma: America is in Asia, but not of Asia
from 21st Century Wire:
America decided 143 years ago not to be an Asian nation and its confused presence in the region is coming to a close.
Is Washington deluding itself in thinking it will be able to contain and dominate China and the Pacific region?
It turns out that the US has been working overtime to try and somehow remain on top in Asia since 2010. Remember Obama’s infamous “pivot to Asia”? It was then U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes who believed the US could undermine China enough to “get America another fifty years as leader.”

DOGE: This is insane. The moment Kamala Harris lost the election, Biden began sending Democrat-aligned NGOs & companies $1.3 billion per day
DOGE: This is insane. The moment Kamala Harris lost the election, Biden began sending Democrat-aligned NGOs & companies $1.3 billion per day, almost $100 billion before Trump took office. In the prior 15 years the same loan office gave out just $40 billion, just $8 million a day.… https://t.co/WR1PVJMtxG pic.twitter.com/mqHeLz6TWc
