The COMEX silver exchange has experienced a dramatic decline in trading volume, with open interest reaching historically low levels of only 100,000 contracts, indicating that traders are losing confidence in the market's integrity. Major banks including JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank have been identified as the primary participants in silver futures trading, with Wells Fargo alone taking over 5.5 million ounces. The Silver Institute's reported industrial silver consumption figures are unreliable because they artificially inflate supply numbers by including hedged positions that are often massively underwater, effectively hiding the true supply deficit. The actual silver shortfall is significantly larger than reported, with the real deficit potentially reaching 360 million ounces compared to the reported 40 million ounces. This manipulation creates a rigged market where the physical supply constraints are concealed, and traders are advised to hold physical silver rather than relying on exchange-based instruments.

SILVER ALERT! Silver Traders Leaving COMEX Exchange! Silver Supply & Demand Data Lies! (Bix Weir)Added:
Pay me, pay me, pay me my silver now.

>> It's where roada.com.
We are at June. We are in June 2026.
Um, lots of things heating up. Which way will Silver go? It's been They've been controlling it around 75 bucks, getting down to 72, getting up to 79.
Where are they going to put it? I don't know. And I don't care. Nor should you.
Um, you want to hang on to your silver till they go away. And it can be seen very easily that the volumes are just crashing on the comics.
Look at this. There's only 100,000 open contracts.
That is I think it's the smallest in history. Let's check right here. Uh, open interest. The these are like the total market of comics futures and options.
We are way down here down at the bottom of that line. So, yeah, we we're looking at close to the bottom. I think a couple days ago was the bottom. Um, but as you can see over since this goes back to 2013, we're just literally bouncing on the bottom. Nobody believes the criminals on the comics anymore. Nobody believes the United States has free markets. Why would anybody participate in a market that's not free? That's our problem. And uh they're finding it hard to get rid of the shorts because no one wants to go short anymore. Um I don't know what the banks are going to do. Probably some kind of false flag. Blow up a building, blow up 10 buildings, set off nuclear bombs. I don't know what they're going to do to get out of it. Uh their little operation that they ran in January was so obvious to anybody who looked at it, and let me show you where it is.
Tell me what you see. Tell me what you see in this graph right here.
Hold on.
Tell me what looks odd. What looks odd?
Gee whiz. If you're at the CFTC and you look at this, what would you think looks a little strange? Oh, January. Look at this. A spike up. This is the commercials, the swap dealers. This is the banks, the criminal banks, JP Morgan, HSBC, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, all the criminals we know and love did this. They ran the price up in January and then they slammed it down.
The exact same operation they do every single time. They want to get the weak hands in and destroy the price of silver, destroy the sentiment. And it works every time. Not as much these days, but it still kind of works.
Remember everybody was asking you, "How can I get silver back in January? People only buy when the price goes up. That it's the opposite of what you should do.
You should be buying when the price is down. And if you're a trader selling when the price is or hang on to it. If you know the the game is rigged and you know that rigging is about to end, all you can do is hang on to your silver with both hands and say, "I'm going to sit back and watch it happen."
So yeah, uh we're currently in the middle of the moving averages. Remember every day that the moving averages stay above uh you know the 200 day stays above $66 now it keeps moving up and up.
Do you guys remember like a year ago I'm like oh my god one day we're going to break 50 and then it's off to the races.
Well then it went off to the races and we know what the banks did and they slammed it down. We will be off to the races again very soon. The biggest problem that they have now is they're running out of physical silver. Look at the inventories. They are running out of physical silver. They are at uh 84 84 million ounces in the eligible category sorry in the registered category and then eligible is 316 which is both sorry the total is 316 eligible is 232 of that 110 million ounces are SLV silver.
So you can just track subtract out 100 million ounce 110 million ounces.
Probably a lot of that is in the 84 of registered by JP Morgan Chase. Another fraud that they perpetrate.
I heard Jamie Diamond out there talking crap about uh uh Coinbase. Coinbase is, you know, the banking cabal is pissed at cryptos because they didn't invent it and they don't control it. That's the only reason they're pissed. Imagine if Jaime Diamond had Reggie Middleton's patent for DeFi.
Could you imagine that? JP Morgan would be, "Oh, we are the greatest uh we're the greatest company ever because we control and own all of DeFi and smart contracts and CBDC's and stable coins.
If they had written and got approved the Reggie Milton patent for Veritasium, the world would be very different right now. But they didn't. So they're trying to crush everything else related to cryptos. In the meanwhile, they're picking it up as as they as they crush it down, they pick up as much as they can.
Don't forget who JP Morgan Chase is. The number one banker for Jeffrey Epstein.
He would bring in he was the best sales rep in all of JP Morgan Chase. He was a consultant. He didn't work directly for the bank as far as we know.
That's got to come out. And I think it is all this insane things that Trump's doing right now.
I think I think this is the endgame. We can't have everybody loving Trump. We can't have MAGA win because half the country hates MAGA. The other half loves MAGA. And now now even the MAGA people are saying, "What the hell is Trump doing? Why are we going to war? Why hasn't he released the files?
You got some guy saying, "Oh, it's just part of his game, you know, he's just getting to where he needs to be." To me, yeah, his it needs to be that we hate government. So, maybe that's what he's doing. He's pushing us away. I don't know.
I tell you, I don't like his market rigging attitude. It started the first day he took office in 2016. He was the biggest rigger of all time and he continues to be the biggest rigger of all time. Stock market will not stop going up. Of course it won't.
How could it? If you have a a literal printing press of of derivatives of anything you want, complete control of every single market on the planet through derivatives, unlimited derivatives. Wouldn't you use it? Of course they would. But it's not free market. And people are starting to say, "What in the hell is going on with these markets?
How how is the stock market doing so well when the people are doing so poorly?
And it's all going to come to a screaming halt one day. And that's going to be the day they shut down the comics, they shut down the LBMA, they shut down the NASDAQ, they shut down the banking system.
It's not them shutting it down. It's it's them stopping the rig.
You either rig it or it dies.
And right now the United States is losing. So, and we've rigged the system. So, one day we're going to say, "Well, screw you.
We're not going to lose. We're just going to end the game right now." And who wins? The country with the largest debt. Who has the largest debt? The United States of America by far out of any country. We have the largest debt.
It's crazy, right?
The US wins. Even if we lose, even if the stock market crashes, we win or when the stock market crashes. And the biggest thing about problem with the stock market is everything's rehypothecated.
Meaning, you don't own your share.
It's at the DTCC. And oh, by the way, they don't even they can't even keep track of all these shares. High frequency trading. You think any of those shares ever settle? No, they don't. There's so many fake shares out there in the stock market, the bond market. Every single thing is fake that you see out there in the financial world. Get something real. Get it in your own possession.
Uh like I said, we are at the uh second day of deliveries.
So far, they have delivered, drum roll please, 1,843 contracts. That's only 9 million ounces.
Now, let me put this into perspective.
Perspectus. Perspective. Yeah. Um, last year was the biggest comic year ever. A total of 104,48 contracts, which is 521 million ounces were delivered last year on the comics.
521. We're already in June and we only have 178.
So, we're running way below last year.
Maybe 60 50 60% of last year or where we were last year. And why is it because people aren't used don't need as much silver? Yeah. The the silver institute likes to say that they always come out and say, "Oh, no, no, your silver use is going down." But then they have to rig it. They have to rig their numbers to make it look right. So you look at the right here, the silver survey, annual survey, they're like, "Holy crap, look, the the amount of silver used in industrials is down 3% in 2025."
Except every single industry is up that uses silver is up way more than 3%. How is it that they're not using any silver?
Cuz they lie. Cuz they lie. They cheat, they steal, you name it.
This whole silver reporting industry was started really by Jay Aaron and Goldman Sachs back in the 70s. They were the only ones out there saying anything.
Our friend Jeffrey Christian tells us this all the time. He just they the CPM group just released their latest yearbook. I do buy it. If I'm going to criticize the guy, I got to know what I'm talking about.
But yeah, he's talking about how Yeah, you know, we bought I worked for Jay Aaron. We did the largest silver analysis back then. Uh, and then Goldman Sachs bought us and I decided we should spin off CPM Group from Goldman Sachs. I decided Jefferson's got to be like 80 90 years old. He doesn't he doesn't age. He should start getting a gray toupe.
I know it's mean, but he's been he's said a lot worse things about me and my friends at Gata, by the way. So if he is the one providing the numbers, who's providing the real numbers? Nobody.
So they did the numbers for the silver survey for 5 years and then metals focused her took it over the silver institute. The institute is one person, Mike Dorenzo. That's all it is. And he's a jackass.
Mike Dorenzo. Give him a call. Talk to him. He Oh my god, this guy is incredible. He should be retiring soon.
I would I would think that Jeff Well, why does Mike Dorenzo need to retire? He doesn't. He doesn't do anything. You might as well, you know, stick it out.
CPM Group gives them all the numbers.
Not CPM. It used to be CPM. Now it's Metals Focus gives them all the numbers.
And they lie. I've shown that a million times. So, how are they lying this year?
The big lie is right here.
They're saying that in the in the narrative they say 50 million ounces was hedged in silver and they add that to the supply so that they don't show a monster deficit.
They don't tell you who is doing the hedging. They say, "Oh, these are all short-term because the price went up."
They give you a couple names. The biggest, I think it was 8 million ounces, very short-term hedge. It's probably closed by now because it's massively underwater. any hedges, all 44 million of these hedges, if they were real, they'd be massively underwater.
The the mining companies have learned you cannot hedge metals, especially silver, because you will lose your Bareric went bankrupt because of their hedging games.
But you look at their board of directors, it was Bush Senior and Kissinger and all those guys. This is a game. This is a con, a control system that we're in the middle of.
So yes, you can use the silver institute, the silver survey as toilet paper, but that's about it.
They said last year industrial down 3%.
They're expecting down 3% in 2026. They can't name the industries that are down.
Even solar's up.
When they move to from uh Perk to Topcon, they increase the amount of silver massively. And yes, there is a little thrifting, but not what they're saying.
There is no company that's mass-producing the solar panels with barely any silver in it. And they're I mean they're even saying, "Oh yeah, the non-s solar panels are going to be the future. Good luck with that. Keep lying."
So the silver the the solar industry continues. I mean, it's massive right now and will continue to grow until they get enough. Especially with the straighter horm stuff going on, it makes sense to put solar in. And while money is free, every government, including China, is making as much many solar panels as possible.
Why wouldn't you? Doesn't matter how many how much silver you use, it really doesn't matter because they rig the price. They keep the price low. At $75 silver, yes, they're going to still make a hell of a lot of solar panels.
And the Silver Institute will continue to lie to you.
So you might ask, okay, who is who is running the silver market these days?
What criminal banks are the ones participating the most? And and and how much how are they participating? So if we have 9 million ounces that have been delivered, it's going to be pretty easy to see who was the short going into the who was the long and who was the short going into the delivery day which started Friday. So, let's take a look.
You'd think it was JP Morgan, right? The JP Morgan customer had been number one for years and years and years since they got bust in 2019. They are the number one provider of silver and the number one taker of silver. Not anymore. As I said, JP Morgan Chase is getting out of derivatives for some reason. They're trying to. They're now number three.
They were number one for his since history, the beginning of the recording of this stuff. So his JP Morgan Chase customer account, they only took they only provided 228 contracts, which is a little over a million ounces and really had none. 82 contracts stood for delivery. So who's playing the game?
There's BMP Barnabas. Takes a little bit. They just keep taking a little bit and little bit. Same with Scotia. Those two are part of the cabal, but they're not doing much. who did it this year or this month. Here they is. Wells Fargo Bank over 5 million 5.5 million ounces for Wells Fargo Bank because it's part of the derivative uh silver lease from JP Morgan to BFA and then subleass to entities like Wells Fargo and HSBC.
So WS Fargo took the most silver which means they got to pay it back to somebody else later. HSBC provided a big chunk of it, 2.5 million ounces.
And McCquory, McCquory's customer, whoever that might be, play Black Rockck, provided 800 contracts, which is 4 million ounces.
That's pretty much all you have. And then Deutsche Bank was taking 2 million ounces. It's the same names over and over. This isn't a market of thousands of thousands of investors trading back and forth to determine the price of silver. This is a a market of less than eight big banks rigging the price of silver all through Virtue Financial is running their their computer rig jobs because you still look at the volume. I mean although it's down from the past, look at the volume right here on May 29th, last Friday. volume, 42,000 contracts. You think, wow, that's low comp comparatively, right? It's still over 200 million ounces of silver traded in a single day and they can't even come up with, you know, 9 million ounce to to pay off. Like, what are they still waiting on right here? 2.5 million ounces that have not delivered this month. What are they waiting for? I don't know.
Who was it that waited till the the very last day? It was BFA last month, the very last day to to make deliveries because they didn't have it. These are all banks that are insured by the FDI that you pay taxes to. You pay taxes to your government so that these guys can play criminal rigging games. It's embarrassing for the world, but hey, it is what it is.
So, I asked Grock, I said, "Who publishes the most accurate silver annual reports?" And Grock said, "The Silver Institute, of course, Mr. Mike Dorenzo, congratulations. You won the the prize for the most accurate silver annual report." And the reality is, it's probably true.
It's probably true that it's the most accurate. It's a complete con job, but it's more accurate than the CPM group, which is the only other one published since 1990. combines public data, trade stats, company reports, hallmarking data with in extensive indust industry interviews, covers global supply. It's a benchmark report.
And then other reports, the USGS, which is just the production and reserves.
I mean, it's government data. It's just boring. There's no analysis. And then there's Jeff Christian CPM Group. And then third is Metals Focus, who gives the Silver Institute their numbers. So there's only two left on the planet.
Jeff Christian, we all know about him and the Silver Institute run by Mike Denzo.
So Jeff Christian and Mike Dorenzo are the only two people providing this information. And all the silver companies, all the mining companies, all the jackass CEOs can't figure out that these are lies. Complete and total and utter lies.
The industrial silver consumption is not minus 3%. That's a lie. If you take out this 44 million ounce 45 million ounce net hedging supply, we have a not a 40 uh a 40 million ounce shortfall, but rather an 84 mill shortfall. And by the way, that's not even the shortfall.
They don't count the ETFs.
They don't count the ETFs in the shortfall. If if the amount of silver going into the ETFs, the silver institute doesn't count it. The actual shortfall last year was 318 million plus the 44 is 360 million according to their own data.
And it's a lot more than that. That's that's literally it's a third of what the annual production was with all the the supply was with my production and recycling.
I think they overhyped the recycling number two, but my production I don't even think my production was 844 because there were some mines that went down.
Sorry, 846.
So, I don't know what we can do about this. Um, there are laws that say you can't knowingly publish false information, but apparently laws don't really matter in the silver world.
So, what can you do? you can get as much as you can, much silver in your own possession, and wait out the con. Uh, interesting post here by Cliff talking about, so there was this guy, an ex CIA official. They find 40 $40 million in gold bars that he had on he kept at home. Supposedly, you know, the CIA has to pay off their uh constituents, their partners in crime in gold or cash or probably cryptos, too. and he just as kept asking for more gold and they just kept giving him more gold. Ended up with 300 gold bars.
Who knows if the gold's real either.
None I'll guarantee you none of those bars have been drilled. It's the only way to tell.
They have some machines you can like fullon X-ray through it, but most of the time they do the scratch and sniff test which is ridiculous. Just the coating on the outside.
Anyway, Cliff says, uh, so this is part of the data set that was headed by quote new money, which was first shown in his data in 1997.
It had a constitutional dollar as the primary forecast. This set grew over the years to include descriptions of a Treasuryisssued dollar that was connected to goldback bonds. That's what Judy Shelton is kind of talking about right now. I think it's a much bigger program, but we'll get to that in a second. It was the end of the Fed and the IRS within the data and was concurrent with BTC being used by the governments and corporations to settle international trade deals in the data.
This was to emerge at the beginning of what I call the sci-fi world. We are there now. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Um Peggy and Sterling Seagrave read Yamashita's gold. Uh it's called Gold Warriors, American Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold. Really interesting stuff. Nobody really knows the true amount uh that the Seagraves were tapping into. Um it could be hundreds of thousands of tons. It could be 6,000 tons, which is like kind of the the uh what the mainstream will tell you, which is 192 million ounces. It's so much more than that. So much more than that. Go check it out. And then check out uh Wishes and Rainbows, the the Fed comic that I found in 19 or 2007 on January 1st. And where does Ruda where is Rudus scrging around to find the colored flowers in the caves of Cobblestone Canyon, which is the Grand Canyon obviously, and it's all about gold. You read that, read my analysis. Go to roada.com, watch the videos on explaining what the road theory is. Here's Alan Greenspan is Ruda in this in this situation here.
This is back from 1980. Um the grandma is Arthur Burns, the mentor of uh Greenspan's mentor. Um and then grandma's saying, "Oh, we can we can find the beautiful colorland if we look in these caves at Cobblestone Canyon." And then the grandma says, "Hey, don't you try to do that or the big people will step on you." It's a It's a horrific terrifying comic for a little kid. Thank you, Federal Reserve Bank. Um, and they they're big and they might accidentally step on the little people who go visit. And then Greenspan says, "I'm not afraid, Grandma. Often playing those cases and someday I will find a way back to the color land, which is the gold standard."
And then Ruda runs around and pushes the rock and then voila, you find gold inside the Grand Canyon behind these cliffs. You go in and voila, there's the land of color land where uh Arthur Burns said, "Oh, I dream of those colors. I had them when I was a kid, but we don't have them anymore." Blah, blah, blah.
And then Ruda takes a little bit of the colored flowers, leaves, and says, "I'll back I'll come back." And then there was a big uh cave-in and she couldn't find her way back to color land.
It's all about going back to a gold standard. And then all these things that happen. Look, there's more over here.
and they can find more. If we plant the seeds, we have these black tears from the flowers. We plant that. That's all about the uh the pro dollar right here is the black seeds. This is the weirdest comic book ever, obviously. Um, but it it is very telling published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston with a teachers guide that explains that they're talking about scarcity in a monetary system and that you have to have gold in a monetary system to stabilize what the amount of money that's uh circulated and that's Rud's job is you know first is to create the petro dollar which was an agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries that they would only sell oil in US dollars creating artificial demand for the dollars. Trump's trying to do that with cryptos now uh with stable coins. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Artificial demand. Artificial. Why not just say, "Hey, let's go back to a gold standard.
We'll have money that actually is something and has value, which I think we will be very soon." Uh but they set up the petro dollar, which is Rut talks about. And here's something really interesting. The mayor says, "How are we going to allocate the money?"
Everybody's now saying, "How are we going to allocate new money?" Obviously the the whole world needs a new money because the old money is failing and the the people who decided to make the old money fail all the current people in charge of our financial system will not be the new deciders. They will not they will be called out for the criminals that they were um Jeffrey Epstein was kneedeep in that world and that'll come out. And here's Ruda writing 911 in the sand if you can believe that 11 plus 9.
Um, and then this, so this was released on January 1st, 2007, and on 9/11 of 2008 is when we were hours away from the monetary collapse. Um, and then they bailed out the banks. Will we bail out the banks again? I don't think so. I don't think there's enough uh political potential or will or trust in Congress for anybody to do anything ever again. I think it's the end of Congress when the next banking collapse happened.
Goodbye Congress. Hopefully we our constitution will withstand the pain, but who knows?
And Rud said, hey, let's allocate money according to social security, which I think is that's pretty good idea.
Everybody gets a little something and then, you know, we have social social security to take care of the rest. But the reality is we're moving into a time, Elon's been talking about this a lot, where we're not going to need money or not for the basic necessities because we'll have computers and robots and all that to take care of it all for us.
That won't be smooth. Some people like their jobs, some people don't. It'd be nice to have no debt, right? Everybody say, "Oh, but I'll lose my savings account." The biggest problem in the world right now is debt.
is debt and then misallocation of all this all what we call assets today the electronic blips and the Federal Reserve notes and all that I mean the the you know.1% owns the vast majority of it all and it's if you have a stock or bond or anything that's held that the DTCC not in your name under the name and seed in company seed as in you're seeding ownership over to somebody else it's insane But then the end of the in this thing in the road to Ruda documents the end of the day is we go back to a gold standard.
Go check it out road.com.
Um and check out uh Jeff Christian's latest silver just tested $72. What happens next? I use Jeff Christian as a sounding board for what the banking cabal wants us to think where they're trying to steer us. When when he panics is it means the banking cabal is in in trouble.
He He's so easy to read. It's great.
Thank you, Jeff. You are providing the community of conspiracy nuts a uh a valuable service. Every time you freak out, we know we're getting we're getting to the the nitty-gritty of where we need to get, which is removing the banking cabal, removing CPM Group, removing the Silver Institute from the entire markets and starting fresh.
Should be exciting.
That's all I got for you. Uh, go to road.com, join the private road. We're currently giving away one of those Veritasium tokens. Go check it out.
road.com. I'll talk to you later.
