A list of ten events that may give some sense of the trajectory of Western Civ at this time, and looking at Silver pricing and the machinery that determines it outside actual market forces: links 1 for February 1, 2026

1. Nothing can be taken at face value, if it’s consequential to the powerful and the very wealthy. (Please see the recent post on Telos based analysis)

The following video is a look at the obvious manipulation of precious metals price around the world to affect the consequences of those changes on those with a vested interest in cheating the system.

Frankly, everything you ever need to know about how the markets work should have become obvious by watching the GameStop scandal.

A little additional note on all that, and maybe even as a footnote to the article on telos based analysis.

Any system which affects outcomes will, over time, become controlled by the people most willing to do whatever they have to do, to control those systems. The reason being that over time, people willing to do more and more things that let’s say, ethically normal people would be unwilling to do, will be in control of systems of power and finance, It is inevitable. The inverse is, systems select for those willing to do what others will not—and then protect them with narratives.

The Democrat Party, and frankly, The Republican Party, and all political parties in Canada are perfect examples. If you want to be the leader or whoever actually controls those entities, you likely will have to do things non-sociopaths can’t fathom ever doing. Sometimes ever fathom anyone doing. Elite power structures often involve symbolic transgression — acts that signal detachment from ordinary moral constraints and reinforce in-group loyalty, would be a sanitized way of saying it.

• Epstein: criminally established, with documented involvement of extremely powerful figures

• Prince Andrew: formally settled, publicly disgraced, removed from duties

• Clinton ties: flight logs, testimony, photographic evidence — not conjecture

• Bohemian Grove: a real, annual gathering of elites; the ritual exists; it is filmed; it is acknowledged

• “Spirit cooking”: not invented; it exists as a documented cultural/artistic practice among elite social circles, however one interprets its meaning

At a certain point, people likely have to show fealty to the powerful to get in the game by showing your determination as well as making yourself vulnerable by participating in these activities and rituals. It isn’t that for one example, these people believe in the existence of Satan per se, but they may fully understand the benefits of participating in seemingly Satanic ritual, which in real life may bestow on them the benefits they seek which are legendary in terms of the non-metaphorical deal with the devil. In other words, making themselves vulnerable to blackmail by participating in a Satanic ritual may give them the same wealth, power and fame they might have traded their souls for in the Faustian sense. Maybe it was always that way. Maybe that is what Faust was talking about in the first place.

All this to say, nothing we are told is likely meaningful at face value about anything important. It is all about what outcome is desired by the dissemination of the information. (telos) And over time, any system that controls wealth or power, is likely to be controlled by people who’s willingness to do evil is roughly equivalent to the amount of wealth and power they gain access to.

Personally, I hold out hope that Donald Trump is the rare exception. They could not find any real charges against him to get him out of the way. They had to invent non-existent crimes to convict him. And their stunning determination to get him shows what a threat he is to the system as we tend to believe it is. Time will tell though.

2. Related: If one was trying to repair the system from within the system, things would move very slowly. When judges are corrupted, perhaps as described by the mechanisms above, or more conventionally by desire of personal gain or fear of consequences, it can be difficult to see real justice as written in law be applied equally to all parties. But, if the system is still salvageable, then the things we all care about, the stolen elections, the malfeasance of influential people on the left that not only break serious laws with impunity, but are rewarded for it, and often very very well, will take place very slowly. The ‘i’s must be dotted and the Ts all crossed just so.

We can hope this is a data point confirming the system beginning to self correct.

3. It appears that the media is continuing to laser paint law enforcement for attack, and people who watch it continue to obey.

4. A proper response to Tucker “Qatarlson” and Candice Owens

5. “The war abroad always comes home”. I would hazard a guess this is a call to civil war against the USA using Gaza and soon Iran as an excuse.

Hopefully he is an illegal and ICE can deport him to somewhere more like he wants the USA to become.

6. Endless cascades of data showing the 2020 election was stolen. One can only hope that this is getting the public ready for actual arrests, and trials and sentencing of people who rigged the 2020 election against the American people. Once enough people come to accept the facts over the narrative, policy is easier to change. Canada after all, is still pimping the mRNA shots for Covid. We have Zero large scale counter-narrative efforts that are effective out there. So people are still injecting this goo, and still filling the halls of cardiologists and oncologists waiting rooms.

7. Met admits it failed to protect Jews from ‘racist mob’ in Notting Hill

The Metropolitan Police has admitted that it failed to protect Jews from a “racist mob” at a Notting Hill restaurant.
Scotland Yard has apologised for the “distress” caused to the Israeli business owner and “wider Jewish community” over its policing of pro-Palestinian demonstrations last month.

The apology came after a cross-party group of 89 MPs and peers wrote to Sir Mark Rowley, the Met Commissioner, to express their “extreme concern” about the way protests outside the restaurant were policed.
They said the restaurant, Erev, and its takeaway counter, Miznon, in Notting Hill, co-founded by chef Eyal Shani, had been “targeted by extremists on seven occasions since August last year”.

The letter, seen by The Telegraph, goes on to detail one of the protests which took place on Jan 9, which they say amounted to “violent disorder” and left diners at the restaurant feeling intimidated.

]he MPs and peers described how “around 50 protesters were allowed by police to stand close to the restaurant’s entrance, chanting violent and intimidating slogans amplified by loudspeakers and drums”.

Footage shared on social media at the time of the protest showed one activist proclaiming the “right to resist by any and all means necessary, for the full liberation and from the river to the sea”, to cheers from the crowd.

On the other hand, the Met, along with the courts managed to give Kevin Krehan the death penalty for putting a strip of bacon on a mosque doorknob. So we know they are very good at polishing mosque knobs.

8. Dropping vaxx MANDATES means dropping them OFF THE MARKET

? MODERNA CEO AT DAVOS: NO GOVERNMENT MANDATES = NO NEW VACCINES ?

Big Pharma just admitted what we’ve been screaming for years: Their entire business model depends on forced uptake through government recommendations and mandates… Not on safety, efficacy, or voluntary choice.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week (Jan 22, 2026), was asked if RFK Jr.’s HHS reforms cutting vaccine mandates and recommendations would hurt their business.
His response? “Oh 100%.” ?

He told investors publicly: Moderna does NOT foresee investing in ANY new Phase 3 vaccine trials in the foreseeable future.

Why? “You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market… your market is much smaller because you don’t have a recommendation by the government.”

Translation: Without the government forcing billions of doses via mandates, bulk purchases, and universal recommendations, even basic safety trials using real placebos become “too expensive.” They won’t bother developing new vaccines unless they can count on coercion to guarantee massive sales.

We’re just asking for placebo-controlled trials to prove real safety and quality, something every real medicine requires. But Bancel says: If you demand that, and don’t force it on Americans, there’s no way to make money.

This confirms what we already suspected. The mRNA is built on emergency authorizations, mandates, and taxpayer-funded coercion. Strip away government force and the pipeline suddenly “dries up.”

Watch the full video breakdown right here—straight from the CEO’s mouth, no spin needed.

The bottom line appears to be that none of the vaccines would actually pass the placebo trials we all thought they had been through, but none of them actually have. If the state forces them to test the injections, then they won’t make them. Interesting.

9. Concerning the little essay at the top of the post…

10. If you read (or listen to the audiobook) Bella Dodd’s confession of her communist activities in the US back in the 40s and 50s you will understand exactly why teacher’s unions were created. If you watch this video you will know she achieved her objective.
