Bob Moriarty: We’re about to enter the golden age of mining!...(October 19, 2026)
Metals and Miners...
Summary
Bob Moriarty argues that the stock market crash he predicted is underway, citing 59% of Dow and S&P stocks down 20% and 41% down more than 30%, and that the AI bubble is bursting with seven stocks making up 40% of the S&P. He says the West’s debt-based system is collapsing under $40 trillion in funded debt that will never be repaid, so inflation is certain (with deflation in housing), while an energy crisis, diesel shortage and the worst El Nino since 1877 threaten famine and unrest, especially in Europe. His conclusion is that this crash sets up the greatest buying opportunity of his lifetime and the start of a golden age of mining, with silver, copper and tungsten in shortage, gold possibly revalued by the Treasury (Judy Shelton), and investors advised to hold cash and physical gold.
Top 5 Key Topics
- Market crash is already underway: Moriarty says 59% of Dow and S&P stocks are down 20% and 41% are down over 30%, with the NASDAQ off over 2% on the day and the Korean market down 5% then 8% on consecutive days. He calls the AI bubble burst, says margin calls will force selling of even the best mining stocks, and says it will make 1929 look like a kid’s birthday party.
- Golden age of mining ahead: After 20 years of devastated exploration, the EU is pledging about $1.5 trillion and the US is pumping money in, and majors are buying juniors with big projects. Only 2% of the financial marketplace is in commodities, so he expects a boom across wheat, corn, copper, tungsten, gold and silver, with miners hardest hit in the crash but first to recover.
- Critical metals and China’s leverage: Tungsten is up hundreds of percent because China refuses to export and controls the price, so only projects reaching production within two to three years will win. Rare earths are not rare, the bottleneck is processing, and he says F-35s are being parked for lack of radar materials while silver is in shortage on Samsung solid-state batteries and solar, copper is short, and gold has an 80-year above-ground supply.
- Debt, inflation and gold revaluation: With $40 trillion in funded debt that cannot be repaid, he says the choice is default, taxes or inflation, and inflation wins, citing boot camp pay rising from $75 to $2,289 a month. He expects deflation in housing at the same time, thinks Judy Shelton will revalue gold (Frank Giustra says $53,000), and warns the government may tax or restrict gold the way Roosevelt did in 1933.
- Energy, famine and Western collapse: He says a fuel crisis is already here, with four-hour gas lines in Indonesia, a US diesel shortage leaving crops in the field, Middle East facilities needing 7 to 10 years to recover, and the worst El Nino since 1877 threatening mass starvation. He sees Europe breaking down through riots in France, Belgium, Italy and Albania, leaders with 15 to 16% approval, a collapsing petrodollar, and power shifting east to BRICS, with China buying more gold as the price fell from 5,600 to about 4,100.

Mark Thornton: The Empire Has No Clothes...(October 17, 2026)
Minor Issues...
Summary
Mark Thornton argues that the US has become a bankrupt, despotic empire whose government has lost public trust (under 20% versus nearly 80% in the gold standard era), and that Trump, captured by Zionist donors, the military-industrial complex, the Israeli lobby and the deep state, has made this plain with approval at 31 to 32%, a war against Iran, and talk of inflating away the national debt. He contends the fiat dollar is a fake currency that has not been true money for a century, that sanctions and the seizure of Russia’s Treasury holdings are driving foreign central banks and ordinary people toward gold and the repatriation of gold from the US and UK, and that the Iran war has ended the petrodollar’s special status. His conclusion is that changing faces in Washington cannot reverse the decline of empire, and that only a bottom-up, nonviolent ideological shift toward small government, local self-determination, sound money and limited state power can produce real reform.
Top 5 Key Topics
- Collapsing trust in government: Thornton cites polling showing trust in the US government under 20% versus nearly 80% in the gold standard era, with Trump’s approval at 32% in Reuters/Ipsos and 31% in AP-NORC. He says Trump was captured by Zionist donors, the military-industrial complex, the Israeli lobby and the deep state, and points to the suppressed Epstein files and the lack of any serious investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
- Debt, money printing, and fake dollars: He says the world sees America as bankrupt, with politicians not even debating the debt, and he calls Trump’s remark to Time that the debt could be inflated away a shock to the world. Printing money is a hidden, immoral tax, he argues, and the fiat dollar has not been true money for a century even though counterfeiting was a capital crime under the 1790 Crimes Act.
- Gold and de-dollarization: Thornton says the US sanctions on Russia and the seizure of its US government securities exposed the risk of Treasuries, so foreign countries are buying more gold. Ordinary people in Europe and Asia are following, and nations are pulling their gold out of the UK and US vaults.
- Iran war and imperial overreach: He argues the Iran war exposed the limits of US military power, undermined the Gulf states’ security and ended the petrodollar’s special status. He calls the war purposeless, citing the attack during negotiations, the killing of Iran’s supreme leader and strikes on civilians, and adds the threats against Canada, Greenland and Cuba and the capture of Venezuela’s Maduro.
- Bottom-up, nonviolent path to reform: Thornton says empires follow an ancient pattern of foreign aggression and domestic despotism, and that swapping politicians will not fix it. Reform must be bottom-up, with small local states, individual self-determination and strictly limited government, and he favors the nonviolent fall of communism as the model over violent revolution, while noting younger Americans’ contact with foreigners makes them unwilling to fight wars.
Brent Johnson: The All-Weather Portfolio Built for What Comes Next...(October 16, 2026)
Monetary Metals & Co...
Summary
Brent Johnson argues that the shift toward less global cooperation and more authoritarianism is inflationary for things like copper, groceries and fuel, but that massive global debt, crowding out and AI-driven job losses are deflationary forces for stocks, home prices and other assets, which he now concedes makes stagflation real. His answer is not to predict which force wins but to hold an all-weather portfolio built on gold as the foundation of the investment pyramid, backed by 5,000 years of history, with yield-bearing gold from Monetary Metals filling the gap between low-risk bullion and high-risk miners. Beyond investing, he says downside protection, a strong personal network, and learning to use AI are essential, because those who embrace AI will ride the wave and those who do not will be left behind.
Top 5 Key Topics
- Inflation and deflation fight at once: Johnson says deglobalization raises prices, for example buying US copper instead of cheaper African copper, which hits the grocery store and the pump. At the same time, heavy debt and crowding out stall growth, so stocks and home prices can fall while copper rises.
- Stagflation is no longer a copout: He used to dismiss stagflation as a refusal to make a call, but says he now believes it because he is living in it. Some prices will inflate and others deflate, and he admits he does not know which force wins.
- AI as a major deflator: If AI puts large numbers of people out of work, he asks where the money will come from to push asset prices higher, whether copper, stocks or gold. He also says AI is the most impactful development of his lifetime and that people must learn to use it or get left behind.
- Gold as the portfolio foundation: Rather than trying to be right about everything, he says to be prepared for everything, with gold as the base of the investment pyramid given its 5,000-year record. He says adding gold raises return and lowers risk, and gold with a yield does even better, which is why he joined the Monetary Metals board.
- Stay in the game: Asset prices trend up over 20 to 200 years but often go flat or down for 10 to 15 year stretches, so everyone, even young high-growth investors, needs downside protection to avoid being a distressed seller at the bottom. He adds that owning assets beats stuffing cash under the mattress, and that a strong network of family, friends and contacts is a key safety net.
