Morgan Stanley Predicts China Will Lead the $5 Trillion Humanoid Market

by Hua Bin, The Unz Review:

An investor friend sent me a Morgan Stanley report published in April titled Humanoids: A $5 Trillion Market. The report validates my hypothesis that embodied AI (i.e. humanoids) is the next frontier beyond foundational LLMs.

The opening of the report is certainly attention-catching:

Morgan Stanley is making a strategic commitment to telling the story of embodied AI – leveraging our platform and relationships to help our clients identify the next crop of multi-generational compounders transforming industries and creating new markets we believe canΒ exceed the size of today’s global GDP.

β€˜We’re Already Past The Tipping Point’: Academic Sounds β€˜Civil War’ Warning For High-Migration Western Nations

by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart:

A London academic has appealed to policymakers and military leaders to consider taking remedial action to minimise the impact of civil wars, which he warns have become a distinct possibility in Western nations.

Professor of War in the Modern World, David Betz of King’s College London, has claimed that many European countries now exhibit signs of being in a pre-civil war state. According to his research, there is a statistically significant chance of a war breaking out in the next five years in a Western state, and given Europe’s interconnected nature, it could spark similar conflicts in neighbouring nations.

Central Banks Are Funneling Your Money Into Their Accounts

by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Mercola:

Story at-a-glance
  • Catherine Austin Fitts warns that central banks are creating digital currencies to transform money into a control system, enabling personalized surveillance and punishments
  • Approximately $21 trillion was stolen between 1998 to 2015, with funds being directed toward a network of 170 secret underground government bases
  • The Bank for International Settlements operates with sovereign immunity and zero transparency, allowing it to move trillions between accounts without legal oversight
  • Rising chronic disease rates are draining both government and family budgets
  • To build personal resilience, Fitts recommends developing a personal mission, distinguishing between official reality and actual reality, prioritizing risk management, and building community connections

Walmart and Amazon Explore Issuing Their Own Stablecoins, Good Idea?

by Mish Shedlock, Mish Talk:

Do we need more stablecoins?

Corporate coins could take payments activity away from banks and the traditional financial system. I am 100% O.K .with that.

What Is a Stablecoin?

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is pegged to another asset, typically the U.S. dollar.

Regulation will likely ensure that US dollar stablecoins are physically backed 1-1 by US dollars or very short term treasuries to guarantee liquidity.

Why Gold is Still King

0

by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:

While gold has been used to hoard wealth since the beginning of history, many mainstream experts still deride it in favor of nearly any newly invented investment opportunity. Financial advisors only suggest thatΒ gold should make up under 10% of an individual’s portfolio.Β Independent individual investors, dark money, and governments have recently contributed to gold’s spike in investment use, but mainstream financial advising professionals still use it far less than would be reasonable. They steer away from gold’s long-term stability because they cater to an audience that is conditioned to want far higher returns with an unreasonably low amount of risk. They have also confused the high convenience of electronic assets for investment value. Lastly, they hold to the assumption that the current socioeconomic system will be sustainable for an indefinite period of time.

Implications Of The Impending Failure Of London’s Platinum Market

by David Jensen, Jensen’s Economic, Precious Metals, & Markets Newsletter:

On June 8, 2025 Bloomberg published an article noting the soaring lease rate for platinum in London and showing the lease rate approaching 15%.

That was followed this past week by former metals trader and precious metals analyst Robb Gottlieb reporting that the 1-month London OTC platinum lease rate had increased to 24.5%.

Figure 1 shows a mark-up (in yellow) of Bloomberg’s platinum lease graph showing the scale of Gottlieb’s reported spike in the London platinum lease rate.

From ‘Nazi’ to ‘Tyrant’: How the Left Tries to Shift the Moral Center

by David Manney, PJ Media:

Bush = Nazi: A History of Moral High Ground

In the early 2000s, if you disagreed with the left, you weren’t just wrong, you were a nazi.Β 

The ultimate slur.Β The go-to insult.Β The end of discussion.Β 

George W. Bush was painted as Hitler-lite. His war in Iraq? Nazi behavior. His surveillance programs? Fascist seeds. The moral panic wasn’t about policy; it was about persona. About painting the right not as misguided but as monstrous.

Success and Loss: Hit Twice by the Same Hurricane – Part 2

Resolution and Improvement Plan

Finally, the clouds lifted, more sun arrived, and our power problems dissipated. From that point, we did fine waiting for the utility power to be returned. Eventually it was returned. But I had learned an important lesson: I started hunting forΒ a better charger!Β Much later, I learned there was a chance that my gasoline β€œinverter generator” could provide steady enough power to pass for β€œutility power” and directly power my 48V inverter/charger systems with far more power β€” but that hasn’t been figured out (yet). What I did find were additional non-computerized 48V battery chargers on eBay, designed for golf cart lead acid batteries. Warning: it turns out they have their own β€œsmarts” in the form of a relay that has to see 48V to begin charging β€” but I was able to easily rewire around the relay to get around that problem. That skill would turn out to be important, within weeks.

Silver Resets: How High Can It Go?

0

by David Russell, Silver Seek:

For years, silver has been the forgotten metal. It sat quietly while gold took centre stage. Traders dismissed it. Central banks ignored it. Most of the financial world barely gave it a second glance. But something has changed.

Silver has surged past $36 an ounce, not with a gentle climb, but with the kind of force that suggests this move is not a fluke. It is a response to pressure that has been building for a long time.

This is not just a technical breakout. It is a fundamental shift. Silver demand is rising sharply, especially from industrial sectors. Solar energy, electric vehicles, AI servers, and even water purification systems all depend on silver. Yet supply has not kept up. Mining output has stagnated. Recycling has not increased. Inventories are being drawn down. At the same time, geopolitical risks are disrupting trade, energy costs are rising, and trust in financial institutions is wearing thin.

How $100T Debt Time Bomb Fuels America’s Looming Fiscal Crisis

from Sputnik News:

The $34 trillion US debt is just the tip of the iceberg – unfunded obligations make the insolvency crisis far worse, Marc Ostwald, chief economist at ADM Investor Services International, told Sputnik.
The unfunded liabilitiesβ€”over $100 trillionβ€”from Medicare and Social Security don’t show up on traditionalΒ debt balanceΒ sheets, but they are very real long-term obligations, he emphasized, noting: β€œNo one wants to talk about it in political circles, because the problem is so large and no one has a clue how to resolve it.”

What The Riot Planners Are Plotting To Do Next Could Be Far Bigger Than The Chaos That We Are Currently Witnessing

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Have we ever seen more than 1,500 simultaneous political protests all over the nation on the same day? TheΒ riotingΒ andΒ looting in Los Angeles has been going on for several days, but the left was never going to be satisfied with causing chaos in just one city. They want this to spread to other cities and become a national protest movement, and it appears that they are succeeding. Chaos is beginning to erupt in other areas of the country, and what the riot planners have scheduled for Saturday is truly frightening.

President Trump has already sent thousands of troops to Los Angeles, but will they also soon be needed in San Francisco?
