Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin warns that the retail precious metals supply chain is far more fragile than most realize, sharing a cautionary story of a large established client who couldn’t get pre-1933 gold from a major nationwide dealer without pre-wiring the full ~$750,000 payment before locking in price. Schectman argues that waiting to execute a “big bang” strategy at the perfect moment is a fool’s errand because the market can’t absorb even a 10-20% surge in demand, and premium costs plus hedging risks are making dealers reluctant to hold large inventories.
He emphasizes that the price action is misdirection (the “casino floor”) while the real story is in the vault—massive ongoing COMEX deliveries, China importing record silver in February as prices were being crushed, and sophisticated players quietly accumulating physical metal while mainstream media dismisses gold’s role as a safe haven.
Retail supply chain fragility: A proven, platinum-tier client couldn’t get pre-1933 gold from a major dealer without wiring the full payment before price lock-in—showing how hedging costs and cancellation risks have changed industry practices.
Why dealers won’t hold inventory: Higher prices mean higher margin costs for hedging; client order cancellations in a moving market create unlimited losses for the dealer unwinding hedges, making dealers more cautious about taking large orders on credit.
The 10-20% demand surge problem: There isn’t enough metal globally to handle even a modest increase in retail demand; when public awakening happens, “getting product will be the most difficult thing, period.”
Recent shakeout was healthy (for the bull market): Margin increases flushed out speculators and weak hands; metal now sits in very strong hands with low COMEX open interest—setting up for the next leg higher.
Massive ongoing COMEX deliveries: Silver withdrawals hit 135 million ounces in Q1 plus 4.236 million more in first two weeks of April, with 8.26 million additional issued/stopped; gold deliveries around 1.86 million ounces in same April window—nearly a billion dollars in each metal in just two weeks.
February anomaly: 37-38 million ounces of silver left COMEX (160% of what was officially delivered) during a price crash; someone moved 2 million physical pounds of silver and ran the logistics—unprecedented behavior that mainstream media ignores.
China as the smart money tell: During February’s silver price beatdown, China (already the world’s second-largest producer) imported more silver than in any month in recorded history—directly contradicting the narrative that silver is out of favor.
Media narrative debunked: The argument that Fed non-cuts, higher energy/CPI, and inflation are “bad for gold” ignores that gold rallied massively during the fastest rate-hike cycle in history (0 to 4%); price action is “management of perception economics.”
“Focus on the vault, not the casino”: Price is a tool of misdirection; the only thing that matters is who’s standing for delivery—central banks and other highly sophisticated, wealthy entities who run complex logistics aren’t doing this for fun.
Florida hurricane analogy: Schectman describes empty Publix shelves and 3-block Costco lines two days before a hurricane that wasn’t even hitting his side of the state—you find what you need when you don’t need it, because when you need it, it’s gone.
Being early vs. being late: Even if you perfectly time the market top or bottom, the logistical reality (websites down, phones busy, “notify me” buttons everywhere like during the Ukraine invasion) means you can’t execute the trade you planned.
Cost-averaging strategy: Rather than waiting for the perfect silver-to-gold swap moment, “layer it like an onion” as prices enter your comfort zone; smooth out the uncertainty instead of betting on timing perfection.
You don’t buy it to become wealthy; you buy it because it is wealth: The key insight isn’t price speculation but the recognition that the most sophisticated, well-capitalized players on earth are accumulating physical—skate to where the puck is going, not where it is.
Coming refusal to sell Westward: The next escalation may be mints in the UK, Australia, Austria, or South Africa simply refusing to send product to the West once they realize the paper-market game is being used to drain their physical inventory.
Professor Jiang argues that the current global situation reflects three competing eschatological visions for world order: the Technate model (a North American continental fortress centered on the US), Pax Judaica (world order centered on Israel/the Levant), and the Third Rome (Dugin’s Eurasian integration model centered on Moscow). He contends the Iran war ceasefire is merely a tactical reset while the US repositions for a phase two ground incursion, with Trump executing a decades-old mercantilist vision to militarily impose “America First” by seizing resources in the Western Hemisphere and forcing the world to buy American oil. Professor Jen believes the die is cast—the Strait of Hormuz situation has already guaranteed famine and economic catastrophe—and that competition between these three visions will likely destroy the world in a Bronze Age-style collapse rather than producing a new stable order.
Three competing eschatological visions: The Technate (North America-centered), Pax Judaica (Israel-centered), and Third Rome (Moscow-centered Eurasian unification)—all working toward eschatological endgames, differing only on which region becomes the world’s center of gravity.
The ceasefire as tactical reset: Americans were losing the war and are using the pause to reposition—Indonesia signed an agreement with Hegseth giving US access to Indonesian airspace (countering Hormuz by threatening the Strait of Malacca, which delivers 80% of China’s oil).
Military buildup continues: The George HW Bush carrier group brings 10,000 more Marines (60,000 total in theater); Trump has requested $1.5 trillion for next year’s Pentagon budget; automatic draft registration starts in December; GM and Ford are being asked to begin munitions manufacturing.
Global naval blockade expansion: Trump’s Iran blockade has effectively become a worldwide maritime embargo—US Navy boards or turns back any ships deemed to be aiding Iran across the Indian Ocean, including Russian shadow fleet, Chinese, and Iranian tankers.
Trump’s consistent mercantilism: Going back to 1980s Barbara Walters interviews, Trump has advocated seizing Iran’s oil at Kharg Island; he views global trade as a scam that funds foreign welfare states at US expense—now militarily imposing what he couldn’t achieve through tariffs (which the Supreme Court struck down).
The Technate of America: A 1930s plan for North America to annex Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Colombia, and Venezuela as a self-sufficient continental fortress; Elon Musk favors this model (his grandfather was an early proponent); explains Trump’s aggression toward exactly these countries over the past six months.
Trump Corollary to Monroe Doctrine: December 2025 National Security Strategy treats the entire Western Hemisphere as US territory, including the lithium triangle and Venezuelan oil; also calls for “monetizing” US naval control of the seas—charging tariffs on global trade rather than protecting free trade.
Deep state civil war thesis: Following Peter Turchin’s “elite overproduction” framework—the clash between Wall Street/City of London globalists and Silicon Valley/AI/Christian nationalists is an organic civil war rather than staged theater, because America is too overextended for any faction to synthesize a stable outcome.
Why the media eased up on Trump: Professor Jen argues the “deep state” struck a deal with a bankrupt, lawfare-besieged Trump after Biden proved ineffectual (allowing Putin to invade Ukraine); Trump now serves as the scapegoat-executor for empire-by-force rather than empire-by-consent.
Marina Abramović’s “chaos magician” framing: Trump accelerates imperial decline rather than controlling it—someone was going to attack Iran eventually, but Trump is speeding events toward a point where a new order must emerge from the old.
Russia’s patience strategy: Putin hasn’t exploited the Iran distraction because he’s giving America “enough rope to hang itself with”—let the US get bogged down in Iran for 10 years, then address Ukraine/NATO in spring 2027; Putin wants to destroy NATO, not just defeat Ukraine.
Modern warfare doctrine: In the nuclear age, you don’t defeat a nation state—you apply enough economic and propaganda pressure to trigger population revolts and civil dissolution, which is exactly what’s happening in Europe around immigration, Ukraine, and EU overreach.
Civil wars everywhere: Beyond the US, Professor Jen identifies similar nationalist-vs-globalist conflicts in China, Russia, and Europe, with elites in every major power having historically been co-opted by Wall Street/City of London finance (including Iran’s reformists vs. IRGC hardliners).
Hungarian elections interpretation: What looks like a globalist win over Orbán may actually be Orbán installing a protégé (as George HW Bush allegedly did with Bill Clinton in 1992) to push through reforms that faced too much populist opposition under the original leader.
The die is cast: The Strait of Hormuz disruption has taken 33% of world fertilizer offline during planting season—famine is coming within 6 months; Earth’s natural carrying capacity is 1-2 billion without modern inputs, and we’re running 8 billion on borrowed time.
China-US rapprochement possibility: Because eschatology concerns spiritual worldview rather than material competition, and China lacks its own eschatological framework, a US-China reconciliation is possible (perhaps as early as May) against the other two visions.
Final outlook: Rather than a clean transition to any single world order, Professor Jen expects the three competing visions to destroy each other in a Bronze Age-collapse scenario—no new world order will emerge from the ashes, just prolonged chaos.
Adam Taggart hosts Jan van Eck (CEO of VanEck) and his CTO Jonathan Wang for a Q2 macro outlook, with van Eck striking an unusually bullish tone across multiple asset classes including AI semiconductors, BDCs/private credit equities, gold, India, and Bitcoin. Using VanEck’s own internal AI usage data as a real-world case study, van Eck argues that corporate America—not consumers—will be the entity happily paying for the massive AI buildout, justifying continued capex from hyperscalers and validating semiconductor exposure. He also flags the recently announced $1.5 trillion defense spending request as a major fiscal warning that strengthens the case for gold as a portfolio hedge, while New Harbor’s John Lloyd and Mike Preston follow up with their own technical read on precious metals and a discussion of how their indicators have flipped constructive enough to remove their hedges and begin adding equity exposure.
AI is being paid for by corporate America, not consumers: VanEck’s own data shows the firm now spends ~$350K/year each on ChatGPT and Claude enterprise licenses, with Anthropic’s run-rate revenue from corporate customers exploding in February-March 2026. This monetization path validates continued hyperscaler capex through 2026-2027 and makes Nvidia look cheap because the market is skeptical the spending lasts—van Eck thinks that skepticism is wrong, and semiconductors remain his top conviction call.
Productivity gains are real and accelerating: VanEck has deployed roughly half a dozen “virtual employees” (compliance, legal, help desk agents) saving an estimated million dollars in headcount costs—more than covering the AI bill. Surprisingly, total token usage is flat despite expanding agent deployment because models are getting more powerful and prompts are becoming more efficient (essentially Moore’s Law for AI), suggesting per-unit costs will fall while total corporate spend keeps rising as adoption broadens.
BDCs and alt credit equities are pricing in a crisis that isn’t materializing: Publicly-listed BDCs trade at ~80 cents on the dollar and alt asset managers like Ares and Blue Owl have seen P/E multiples cut by more than half (Blue Owl now ~9x forward earnings with a ~10% dividend yield). Even assuming an extreme 10% default rate with zero recovery, BDCs would only take a 20% NAV hit—essentially what’s already priced in. Van Eck sees Q2 as the bottom-forming opportunity, though New Harbor’s John Lloyd cautions that NAVs in private credit are committee-marked rather than market-marked, leaving latent risk.
Gold remains a structural buy, especially given the new fiscal blowout: Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense spending request adds enough to deficits to derail what had been an improving fiscal trajectory, mirroring how Vietnam War spending fueled the 1970s gold bull market. Van Eck’s gold thesis isn’t about inflation or geopolitics—it’s about delinkage from the dollar and rising global wealth. Gold corrected precisely to its 200-day moving average overnight (a strong technical support), and selling pressure from Gulf states liquidating to cover oil costs is a near-term headwind, but the multi-year thesis is intact.
The market is shifting from risk-off to cautious risk-on: Ten-year yields didn’t perform well during the Iran conflict (a warning sign tied to fiscal concerns), but New Harbor’s broad battery of indicators flipped constructive in the past two weeks, prompting them to close out their put option hedges and prepare to add equity exposure. The S&P is back near 7,000 with a massive two-week bounce, gold/silver/miners have rallied 20-30%+, and van Eck’s overall message is that pulling out of the market entirely is “a very tough call”—much of the bad news may already be priced in, and reshoring/industrialization tailwinds (reinforced by Hormuz disruptions exposing supply-chain fragility) provide structural support for US economic activity.
Martin Armstrong argues that Netanyahu has been pushing the Iran war agenda for over 45 years and finally found a willing partner in Trump, who naively believed the conflict could be wrapped up in an hour like Venezuela rather than facing a mountainous Persian terrain that even Rome couldn’t conquer. Armstrong sees this as part of a much broader breakdown—his Socrates AI program projects pockets of conflict erupting globally (Thailand-Cambodia, India-Pakistan, China-Taiwan), with Europe falling into depression while the US enters recession, ultimately leading to the end of American hegemony around 2032 and the rise of China as the new financial capital. He believes the only path forward is the eventual collapse of the current republican system of government and a return to true direct democracy, since citizens were never even consulted about going to war on Netanyahu’s behalf.
Netanyahu’s decades-long obsession: Armstrong argues Netanyahu has been pitching the Iran war to every US president for 45+ years and may be driven by biblical prophecy from Samuel (which he quotes when Iranian missiles hit). He has accomplished none of his three stated objectives, the regime remains, the uranium remains, and Armstrong calls him “deranged or possessed” with no rational endgame.
Catastrophic strategic blindness on Hormuz: Armstrong is shocked that Washington gave no consideration whatsoever to the Strait of Hormuz before the first bomb dropped, including the fact that all global financial system cables run through there. His VanEck-style strategic assessment is that if he were Iran, he’d take out refineries across the Gulf and ultimately the cables, bringing Europe and Asia to their knees as the ultimate trump card.
Food and fuel shortage warnings: With 30% of world fertilizer transiting Hormuz, Armstrong recommends people stock up on a couple years of food because Asia and Europe are running dry on diesel (which powers shipping fleets), while the US is relatively insulated since it gets only 3-5% of its oil from the Middle East. Europe faces depression while the US faces only recession, with farmer protests already erupting in Greece and Ireland.
Europe must go to war with Russia to survive: Armstrong argues the EU cannot survive without conflict with Russia because it’s economically disintegrating, with figures like Macron fantasizing about seizing Russia’s $75 trillion in natural resources to revive a Roman-style empire. He notes that NATO’s Rutte finally publicly admitted what Armstrong had heard privately for two years—that Europe cannot conquer Russia without the United States.
Path to 2032 and direct democracy: Socrates projects that 2032 marks the end of American hegemony (with China rising as the new financial capital) and the breakup of large political units including Europe, Canada, and the US itself. Armstrong hopes this collapse leads to a constitutional convention that finally adopts direct democracy on the Greek model rather than the failing Roman republican model, because citizens were never asked whether to go to war on Netanyahu’s behalf.
Chris Irons (Quoth the Raven) argues the market is at all-time highs while the foundation is rotting from termites no one is paying attention to—chief among them the unfolding private credit crisis, which he flagged over a year ago and is now bleeding into headlines through gated redemptions at major firms. He believes valuations are “pornographically overvalued” with the Shiller PE near 35, the consumer is tapped out across every credit category, and the inevitable Fed bailout when something breaks will widen the wealth gap while transferring purchasing power from Main Street to elites. His positioning reflects this: heavily long gold and silver, selective in energy and deep value names like PayPal and Centrus Energy, with only minimal Bitcoin exposure (90/10 gold-to-Bitcoin allocation) and complete avoidance of private credit.
Private credit is the next 2008: By the time gated redemptions hit headlines, psychology has already broken—executives only stop the music after every other accounting trick has failed. Q2 redemptions will be even worse, and the contagion will bleed into regional banks and commercial real estate before the Fed steps in to socialize the losses.
Market is “pornographically overvalued”: The Shiller PE near 35 combined with all-time highs, record margin debt, and a market pricing in geopolitical perfection sets up for a sharp deleveraging event. Irons questions not whether the crash comes but how sharp it will be before the Fed engineers another bailout—and the lower the market gets, the faster the unwind accelerates.
The consumer is tapped out: Subprime auto, credit card, student loan, and personal loan delinquencies are at recent highs, and there’s record housing seller-to-buyer ratios. The “resilient consumer” narrative is sustained only by liquidity from COVID-era stimulus that’s finally running dry.
Investment positioning—gold/silver core with selective opportunism: Irons recommends sound money assets, energy (oil and gas as both profit center and geopolitical hedge), defensive consumer staples, deep value names like PayPal (PE of 8), Centrus Energy for nuclear exposure, and biotech ETFs (XBI, IBB). He also likes emerging markets (EEM, ILF) for the next two years and avoids anything tied to private credit, BDCs, commercial real estate, or speculative crypto/quantum names.
Bitcoin skepticism with 90/10 allocation against gold: Morgan Stanley and Goldman launching Bitcoin ETFs is about fee generation, not validation—they’d ETF a pile of trash if there was demand. With Bitcoin trading like a risk asset (down 40% from highs while NASDAQ hits new highs) and even Saifedean Ammous saying he’d sell at $15,000, Irons sees it as a speculative asset with too many unknowns versus gold’s tangible track record.
Kerry Lutz and John Rubino unpack why gold and silver counterintuitively dropped during the Iran war (margin calls and central bank selling) then bounced on the ceasefire, while arguing the long-term debasement story remains fully intact regardless of short-term squiggles. Their central concern is the private credit crisis quietly unfolding in the opaque shadow banking system—potentially much larger than 2008’s subprime mess—which they believe will trigger backdoor Fed bailouts that ordinary Americans will never see. They also debate whether MAGA has betrayed its anti-regime-change promises with actions in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, and speculate about US military intervention in Mexico to secure silver supply.
Gold/silver counterintuitive moves explained: Margin calls forced selling of liquid assets and central banks like Russia and Turkey dumped gold to pay war-related bills; the ceasefire bounce reflects reduced forced selling, not any change in the underlying debasement thesis.
Private credit is bigger and scarier than 2008 subprime: The opaque shadow banking system dwarfs subprime, with obscure funds gating withdrawals every couple weeks and AI vendor financing creating circular daisy-chain risks. Rubino warns we’re back in a 2007-style setup but on a much bigger, more dangerous scale.
MAGA’s regime-change betrayal: Trump, Vance, and Gabbard ran on ending regime-change wars, but actions in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba show the neocons have effectively taken over the movement. Rubino feels personally betrayed and argues a Vietnam-style proxy war against 90 million Iranians could push deficits from $2 trillion to $3.5 trillion.
Backdoor bailouts already happening: Lutz believes Fed bailouts of private credit are likely already underway invisibly—unlike 2008’s visible foreclosures—and Powell may be kept in the chair to absorb political heat before a clean replacement arrives. Both agree visible bailouts of “shadowy” firms would be politically catastrophic given US debt at 120% of GDP.
Potential US intervention in Mexico for silver: Mexico produces 25% of world silver and the US has already signed a critical minerals integration agreement; Rubino argues stabilizing silver supply against the cartels would be “almost justified” since it’s not technically regime change. The US has invaded Mexico 15 times historically, and Trump may follow suit if cartels threaten supply.
David Skarica, founder of Profit from Pessimism, sold many of his precious metals positions in late February/early March near the parabolic top in mining stocks and is now selectively redeploying into smaller miners with cash flow potential plus turnaround plays in unrelated sectors. He sees the gold bull market as a long-term debasement story (started 1999) that’s in the fifth or sixth inning by time but only the first or second inning by price for juniors, with $40 trillion in US debt making further currency debasement essentially inevitable. He’s also bullish on oil/gas (with selectivity), LNG infrastructure, agricultural commodities via DBA, and contrarianly on wind and solar plays that have stayed cheap despite $100 oil.
Sold the parabolic top, now rebuilding selectively: Skarica sold large mining positions in late Feb/early March when GDX/GDXJ hit highs even though gold/silver had peaked in January, recognizing the move was overextended. He’s now hunting smaller miners with 25,000-50,000+ ounce production potential that could become mid-tier multi-baggers.
Debasement is the core gold thesis: With US debt approaching 130% of GDP (vs 30-40% during the 1970s gold boom) and most Western nations over 100%, currency debasement is mathematically the only way out. He sees the gold bull running until at least 2030, possibly until 2032 when “a Milei-type Republican” might emerge to actually cut spending after the country goes bankrupt.
Gold majors are cheap conservative plays now: Major miners like Barrick are heading toward single-digit P/Es with dividends set to grow as companies retire debt and increase payouts. The GDX/gold ratio is breaking out of a 10-year base, suggesting miners are about to outperform the metal itself.
Concentrated junior portfolio with diversification across sectors: Skarica prefers ~6 well-researched juniors over Eric Sprott-style 100-company portfolios, but balances mining concentration by also owning streaming (Fubo), LNG turnarounds, and stable dividend payers like Altria. He emphasizes Doug Casey’s “bet a dime to make a dollar” philosophy and uses 15-20% stop losses on plays with 500-1000% upside.
Energy plays beyond just oil: LNG infrastructure (especially companies converting Caribbean diesel generators) is interesting given AI’s massive power demand requirements. Wind/solar names have surprisingly stayed cheap despite $100 oil making them more economic, and physical agricultural commodities via DBA capture the cost-push from disrupted fertilizer supply chains.
Peter St. Onge argues that Hollywood is in a freefall collapse, with ticket sales down 40% since COVID, production employment down by a third, and the industry now employing fewer people than Chick-fil-A. He attributes the implosion to studios prioritizing “Marxist propaganda” and DEI mandates over entertainment, citing massive losses on once-bulletproof franchises like Star Wars (Solo lost $100M), Marvel (The Marvels lost $300M), and Indiana Jones. He predicts AI will deliver the killing blow within 3-4 years, since AI-generated video already costs ~$20 per minute (roughly 30,000x cheaper than Hollywood) with token costs dropping fivefold annually—soon allowing anyone to produce a feature film for the cost of a fast-food meal.
Catastrophic industry contraction: Ticket sales down 40% since COVID, last year’s Oscar winners sold 38% fewer tickets than the previous year, and Hollywood is making half as many movies as four years ago. Shooting days in LA collapsed from 27,000 to 11,000, with actor and writer employment down 40%.
The “go woke, go broke” thesis: St. Onge blames the collapse on DEI mandates (the Oscars require 30% of casts to be from underrepresented groups) and ideological content overriding entertainment value. He cites race-swapped shows, gender-themed kids’ programming, and queer-coded reboots of Star Wars, Scooby-Doo, and Sex and the City as examples that audiences rejected.
Beloved franchises destroyed: Star Wars went from a $500M profit on Force Awakens to a $100M loss on Solo, Marvel’s Avengers ($2-3B earners) flipped to a $300M loss on The Marvels, and Indiana Jones lost over $100M. Paramount and Warner—two of the Big Five studios—were just sold to a Trump-allied consortium.
Belated industry course correction: Studios are now cutting “socially conscious” programming, with LGBT advocates complaining that 41% of such characters won’t return due to cancellations. St. Onge frames this not as a moral awakening but pure financial desperation as losses became unsustainable.
AI as the existential killing blow: AI-generated video currently costs about $20 per minute in tokens (~$1,000 per TV episode, ~$2,000 per movie)—roughly 30,000x cheaper than Hollywood production. With token costs falling fivefold per year, within 3-4 years anyone will be able to produce a feature-length Hollywood-quality film for the price of a Chick-fil-A value meal.
Mark (host) interviews Dave Bradley (Bitcoin Brains, founder of the world’s first physical Bitcoin store in Calgary in 2013) on a wide-ranging conversation that pivots from Bitcoin investing fundamentals to Alberta independence. Dave argues real estate’s monetary premium is evaporating now that Bitcoin offers a better long-term store of value, and he’s skeptical of MicroStrategy-style Bitcoin treasury companies in a post-ETF world. The bulk of the conversation focuses on Alberta’s looming October independence referendum, which Dave believes will pass handily—driven by Albertans saving $17,000-$25,000/year per person after separation, with Quebec likely following suit afterward.
Real estate’s monetary premium is evaporating into Bitcoin: Houses gained massive monetary premium because they were one of few places regular people could store wealth against inflation, but they’re a terrible form of money (illiquid, indivisible). With Toronto real estate in free fall and Bitcoin offering superior savings properties, the Karadza brothers’ leveraged rental + Bitcoin barbell trade is risky as cash flows compress when housing deflates.
MicroStrategy premium was always going to evaporate: There was no rational reason to pay 2.5x more for Bitcoin exposure through MSTR versus buying it directly, and Bitcoin treasury companies as a category are past their used-by date now that ETFs exist. The future is companies using Bitcoin as collateral to fund acquisitions (the “HODL Code”), like LQWD actually building lightning infrastructure in the real Bitcoin economy.
Currency wars will collapse the world to 6-7 currencies including Bitcoin: Within five years, weaker currencies like the bolivar and Argentine peso fall first, but the Canadian dollar isn’t far behind given Canada has printed more than any developed nation. Bitcoin at $15T market cap is still small versus gold at $25T and headed toward $100-150T as it absorbs the monetary premium from gold, silver, and real estate.
Alberta independence is a matter of time, October referendum likely passes: Dave’s research shows the average Albertan would save $17,000-$25,000 per year after independence since Alberta pays into Confederation while Quebec is paid to stay. The three-part referendum covers independence, immigration control, and transfer payment renegotiation, with Danielle Smith (a Bitcoiner) hedging via the latter two questions in case the separation vote falls short.
Trump deliberately handed Carney the election as an accelerationist play: The “51st state” and “elbows up” rhetoric appeared at exactly the right moment to flip a guaranteed Conservative blowout into a Liberal quasi-majority, with Steve Bannon allegedly telling Mark “4 more years of Marxism and we get Alberta with all that oil.” Carney is framed as a pawn of the European banker class (Bank of England) actively looting Canada, while Alberta could become the first freedom jurisdiction in the developed world per the Sovereign Individual thesis.
