Black Rock's Larry Fink now leads the World Economic Forum (WEF) and BlackRock's Rick Rieder will now control the Federal Reserve.

If they're implementing a global Technocracy economic system, these are the people who you'd want in control.

Africa is sitting on the real energy transition bottleneck 🌍⚒️

This map isn’t about oil or gas.
It’s about critical minerals.

• Lithium, #copper, manganese, #RareEarths
• Artisanal and small-scale mining dominates supply
• High relevance, Low control and High geopolitical risk

The #energy transition doesn’t fail on demand.
It fails on where the metals come from.

Whoever secures supply from #Africa chains controls:
🔋 batteries
⚡ grids
🤖 EVs
🧠 industrial leverage

The next #commodity supercycle won’t start in London or New York.
It starts here.

Gold and silver are now 1st and 2nd by global market cap

🥇 #Gold $35T
🥈 #Silver $6T

They sit above every equity market, crypto, or #commodity complex.

This is a statement about where global capital trusts value right now.

When the 2 oldest monetary assets dominate the leaderboard,

the message is clear.

🚨 St. Moritz, the town that serves as a meeting point for Europe's elite of the wealthy.

-: Unusual shots from one of Switzerland's airports:

#RioTinto has until 5 Feb to bid or walk.

Market talks 15–30% premium and a $260bn+ combined giant.

But this isn’t a horserace.

This deal is a quiet admission that organic growth in mining is broken.

• #Copper at $13,300/t
• 10 Mt supply gap by 2040
• Majors failed to build projects a decade ago
• Now M&A is the fastest way to secure future metal

Rio wouldn’t be buying #Glencore for synergies or cash flow.
It would be buying optionality on scarce copper assets.

And #bhp staying out?
That looks less like hesitation and more like discipline. Cooling-off rules, CEO transition.

When miners start buying each other instead of building mines, the pipeline is empty.

What happens when there’s no one left to merge with, and greenfield exploration becomes unavoidable again?

🇺🇸 Secretary Rubio’s Call with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa al-Sudani

The Secretary and Prime Minister discussed Iraq’s ongoing deliberations to form a government, emphasizing their shared commitment to ensuring that Iraq can fully realize its potential as a force for stability, prosperity, and security in the Middle East. 

The Secretary emphasized that a government controlled by Iran cannot successfully put Iraq’s own interests first, keep Iraq out of regional conflicts, or advance the mutually beneficial partnership between the United States and Iraq.

#BTC in the last 3 months.

#Gold is on a HISTORIC run with the price hitting a new all-time high of $5,100.

In the last 2 years:

- Gold jumped from $2,030 to $5,100
- Up more than 150%
- Added over $21 trillion in market cap
- U.S. Gold Reserves value has increased from $531 billion to $1.33 trillion.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Israeli media published a list of potential targets for joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, with most of the sites linked to oil and gas facilities.

The United States as we know it is over.

The era of unlimited printing and zero consequences is done.

The Fiat experiment is dead. The great reset is here. Prepare accordingly.

#Copper is the second most used material by the DoD.

Trump said on July 9th that "America will once again build a dominant copper industry".

Uranium miners spent a decade massively underperforming equities☢️

Now that relative down cycle looks finished

• Long base, multi-year reset
• Nuclear back as baseload power
• AI + electrification = steady demand
• New supply still slow and capital-constrained

Are we at the start of #uranium catching up… or already late?
