### WORLD SILVER PRODUCTION: 3 Charts You Won’t See Anywhere Else

by SRSrocco - Dec 22, 2017 8:21 PM

When Columbus arrived in America (1492), the world was only producing 7 million oz of silver a year. Today, the world's largest primary silver mine, Fresnillo's Sauicto Mine, produced three times that amount in just one year (22 million oz, 2016).

Authored by Tom Luongo,

The desperation of U.S. liberals to find some truth in the claims that Donald Trump’s campaign staff colluded with Russian state actors is approaching infinity.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s testimony to the House Intelligence Committee all but confirms that the only ‘proof’ the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller have of collusion is the discredited “Trump Dossier.”

This dossier was compiled by Christopher Steele and sold to the Clinton Campaign as opposition research by Fusion GPS. McCabe stonewalled the HIC on this matter but couldn’t point to anything in the dossier that the FBI verified to be true other than publicly-known knowledge of Carter Page visiting Moscow in 2016.

And the last time I checked (as least for now) visiting Moscow is not a crime.

Neither is what Michael Flynn did a crime either, but let’s not bring facts in to dash the hope of the terminally insane.

McCabe has to stonewall on this issue otherwise he and the rest of the FBI are guilty of acting on behalf of Hillary Clinton to assist in spying on her political opponent. Because that’s where all of this leads if people would take their ideological blinders off for five seconds and look at what we actually know as opposed to what we ‘just know to be true.’

Everyone involved in this sordid affair should be tried for espionage and treason.

Those prominent liberals running around protesting the mere thought of Donald Trump shutting down the Mueller investigation to ‘protect the sanctity of our elections’ are a bunch of simpering morons.

And I’m sick to death of the blatant and rank hypocrisy when it comes to election fraud in this country.

For this reason alone, the Mueller investigation should be shut down.

## The Stupid Show

Look, anyone taking the rumor seriously that Donald Trump was close to shutting Mueller’s investigation down should have their head examined. This was a blatant plant by the Washington Post (and the CIA, let’s get real) to create exactly the kind of response from the Wil Wheatons of our world.

These people are simply ab-reacting noradrenaline junkies living in their amygdalas 24/7 while the world moves on without them.

> Oh, important thing that I forgot: There are hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans who are prepared to take to the streets when Trump tries to fire Mueller, DAG Rosenstein, or otherwise shut down the investigation. We’re organizing here: https://t.co/0NjevMQ4oN (13/12)

> I don’t know if we can stop it from happening, or if there are even enough Republicans in government who are capable of putting our country ahead of their party. But read up and know your history, just in case: https://t.co/79YhjPcKq9 (12/12)

> — Wil ‘Kick the Nazis off the tweeters’ Wheaton (@wilw) December 19, 2017

If this isn’t the picture of someone in serious need of psychotherapy then …

In the same week we also get this little ditty by Newsweek. You don’t think these things aren’t coordinated to evoke this kind of response in ‘soy-boy’ Wheaton?

> Painter, who worked under former president George W. Bush, appeared on MSNBC to discuss the widely criticized Fox News segment that suggested the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign could be considered a coup.

> “The commander in chief is Donald Trump,” Painter said. “There is a risk of him using that power to destroy our democracy, whether you call it a coup or anything else. It’s not from the critics of Donald Trump that the danger is posed, it’s the fact that the man who is commander in chief of our military is engaged in obstruction of justice.”

> The salient point here is why would Trump shut down Mueller?

Mueller has nothing on him. The longer this goes on the worse it looks for everyone involved and Trump comes out looking like the victim of a political witch-hunt.

Trump knows and has known from the beginning that there was nothing to investigate.

The only question has been whether Mueller could invent something through nigh-onto-illegal pressuring of people like Flynn, caught in the usual FBI web of procedural dishonesty, to turn on Trump and perjure themselves to avoid a prison sentence.

## Trump v. Mueller

In fact, the more I think about the sequence of events, the more I think the meeting between Trump and Mueller the evening before Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel involved Trump telling Mueller, “Good luck finding anything, Bob, I’ll hang you by your own rope when this is all over.”

If I were in Trump’s position I would have done exactly that. I would have goaded Mueller into this, knowing full well that Uranium One was out there. This would have lit a fire under Mueller to cast a wide net, turn over every rock looking for any kind of dirt. Doing so would expose the whole rotten mess and Mueller looks like a guy running around investigating himself in the end.

Remember, Trump is the one that brought up Uranium One in the first place on the campaign trail.

In response, Hillary, as she always does, then accused Trump of that which she was actually guilty of – colluding with the Russians and using her position for personal gain.

The people who want to believe in Russia-Gate are missing this in their zeal to rid the world of Trump to validate their own failing world-view.

The longer this investigation goes on the more it will uncover the truth about what happened. In my mind, all the Mueller is doing now is compiling the actual case to exonerate himself over Uranium One and throw the rest of the FBI under the bus.

Given what we already know, I’d say Bob’s done a good job of this and it’s time for him to step aside and let this play out.

Libs are ignorant

overbet Stan522 Dec 22, 2017 9:55 PM

If libs were smart theyd be conservatives

JRobby overbet Dec 22, 2017 10:12 PM

They are not too fucking smart. But reactionary for sure which is entertaining.

Next they will call for multiple impeachment votes all of which will fail, destroying their already weak political careers (oxymoron) one by one like lemmings.

Liberalism is a disease of the brain.

Red-Pill-Girl JRobby Dec 22, 2017 10:22 PM

Capitalism: God's way of telling who's Smart and who is liberal

jeff montanye Red-Pill-Girl Dec 22, 2017 11:33 PM

like the gw bush administration were geniuses. how long did they think they would get away with 9-11? so far so not very good.

and their coverup man was mueller. if he does it for both parties, i.e. doesn't reconsider say hillary clinton's homemade server investigation, uranium one, or most ironically, the gps fusion dossier that was put together by nellie "cia" ohr, ex mi 6 and some shady dudes in the kremlin. and paid for by the dnc and hillary clinton.

that will tell you a very great deal about the deep state, its goals and methods, its power and the limits of its power.

i'm so glad they got old "can't find a zionist in all of 9-11" mueller out of retirement for one last prance around the dance.

let's just see what he finds. and doesn't.

Stan522 jeff montanye Dec 22, 2017 11:36 PM

Neither Bush was conservative..... They both ran campaigns on it to get elected then rejected it once in office.

shitshitshit Stan522 Dec 23, 2017 1:39 AM

Judging by his photos the Mueller guy had for a pretty bad hygiene and eats up a lot of crap in his gender bending food.

If dems would be smart they'd be changing sex and travel to Saudi Arabia while this country is still in peace to discover the true meaning of cultural enrichment.

Great comment, fucktard.

Advice: when you have nothing to say, spare the rest of us and don't post anything.

Bullshit. If anyone were smart they’d realise the whole “lib/con” thing is a scam.

You alll been played. Same old

Yes We Can. But... Dec 22, 2017 9:57 PM

My cut-'n-paste executive summary of this post:

"Everyone involved in this sordid affair should be tried for espionage and treason."

Every day the form of the conspiracy becomes clearer. Being exposed rapidly. This has been nothing short of fascinating to observe.

Some laws are unjust as are those who made them.

Cabreado overbet Dec 23, 2017 12:28 AM

That's a great observation, overbet.

The article is about Mueller, et al....

what laws are you referring to that are "unjust?"

overbet Cabreado Dec 23, 2017 1:32 AM

That would be quite a list. Most gun laws, helmet laws, seatbelt laws, most drug laws, many license laws that require fees above reasonable processing cost, traffic laws requiring me to wait for a green light at 2 am when there isnt another car in sight. Any law that tries to protect me from myself and attempts to fine or incarcerate me if I dont comply. Let's not leave out some of the most obvious such as income tax or Obama care. I mean the list would really be quite extensive.

They're all in and they have a three and a nine. The hand has been played and the river isn't going to save them.

Good luck.

Really? They actually only have a 4. 2 indicted and 2 guilty. Some say more indictments and/or guilty pleas coming next week. I say no. more like week after that.

Bluffing might work if you are playing against someone really stupid.

SoDamnMad erg Dec 23, 2017 3:45 AM

It is amazing to watch the YouTubes of the committee grilling Rod Rosenstein and the guy drops back to saying he cannot provide that information because of this , that and other bullshit reasons. Jim Jordon, Trey Gowdy, Ron DeSantis all pick him apart and wants specifics on information that should put members of the Mueller-FBI Team in jail. Funny that in a couple videos there is an big bruiser of a guy off Rosenstein's left shoulder who must be the FBI hit man (probably put a couple shots in Robert Finicum). All the men on th epanel tell Rod the FBI has lost the trust of the American public. Hell yeah, a long time ago.

The Special Counsel is just a way to pay back some donors of the Clinton campaign. Look at how many lawyers and their teams on the case billing hours and hours to the taxpayer. This will have gone on for a year and all we have is a small fries against Flynn? When you reach a certain level, it doesn't matter who you donate to, you'll get something back even if they lose in an embarrassing fashion like Hillary did.

FoggyWorld 3-fingered_chemist Dec 22, 2017 10:07 PM

Abd this is going to go on and on until they supoena Barron Trump and order him to bring his piggy bank with him to check that he isn't hiding a single ruble.

They are killing time and the nation and just hoping to put in a Democrat of their chosing in 2020.

And the underlying question is just how deep and how wide is that pit of corruption that they are living in fear of. Bet it encompasses things we have never dreamed of - way beyond Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation.

edwin23 3-fingered_chemist Dec 22, 2017 10:51 PM

"lose in an embarrassing fashion like Hillary did.":its not real embarrassing when she won the popular vote by 2 mill. TR atator TR ump won the red neck fly-overs

Oh it was quite embarrassing. The cunt couldn't even come out and tell her purple haired freaks and manginas to go home. Lol, she had to get Podesta the Molesta to do it. Bahahahaha. But she won the popular vote...derrrrrr.

lew1024 edwin23 Dec 23, 2017 12:42 AM

I believe the Stanford studies show that Hillary fixed the election in many of the states with electronic tallying of votes, so no, Hillary did not win the general election. Her problem was she couldn't make the exit polls look good enough, so couldn't steal more votes without being instantly detected.

Lord Raglan edwin23 Dec 23, 2017 1:11 AM

2 million of illegal aliens, dead people and people who voted 2 and 3 times, plus a lot of ballot box stuffing in California where laws don't matter....

"the more I think the meeting between Trump and Mueller the evening before Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel involved Trump telling Mueller, “Good luck finding anything, Bob, I’ll hang you by your own rope when this is all over.”.."

Or, how about, "Bob, you and I understand each other. You serve our interest now, not the other guys. We are going to go under the radar and take them out in one massive swoop. Good luck, Bob, go with my blessing."

East Indian Dec 22, 2017 9:58 PM

This may have unintended consequences. As one of our members pointed out in another thread, if the Democrats get a majotiry in 2018 they will certainly try to impeach President Trump. Lingering this "investigation" till the 2018 elections may go either way - for or against the President.

We are all "blessed" to live through these interesting times. God knows what else we will be forced to witness.

3-fingered_chemist East Indian Dec 22, 2017 10:06 PM

I find it tough to see how the Dems will do anything in 2018. The map is heavily skewed towards the Republicans as far as what seats in the Senate are up for vote. The Dems also have a problem of not having a message to deliver to the American people. What exactly do the Dems stand for right now? They are going to run on raising taxes? Dems really got lazy once Obama got elected. They thought the Messiah was going to pave a road for 20 years of dominance of the Federal Government.

Sebastion 3-fingered_chemist Dec 22, 2017 10:19 PM

Well ALabama just elected a dem senator sooo . . . .

anyway All dems need to do is win the House. Trump agenda stops dead in its tracks. Subpoeana power keeps this thing rolling till 2020. Remember the Bengahzi hearings the house repubs did? imagine x100

Anunnaki 3-fingered_chemist Dec 23, 2017 12:51 AM

It’s all about turnout. Dems delivered their constituents in Alabama. Is that a trend or special circumstance

Arctic Frost East Indian Dec 22, 2017 10:15 PM

Right now I actually believe the Democrats would have a tough time winning anything in 2018. Here’s what’s weird: I NEVER hear support for Democrats in the worlds in which I play. I never hear adulations for Trump but I hear a ton of support for his ideas and agenda. The jokes about Democrats are really funny and everyone joins in on insulting them. I always expect SOMEONE to say some joke against Trump, but it NEVER happens.

Now understand, these are not political places. Not even close, the furthest thing away. It actually is shocking when politics comes up. The ages range all over the place, but it’d say on average younger rather then older (though I myself am old.) I am a stranger to most of them. The only time I join in is to add to the jokes. Antedotal and could mean nothing at all but it always surprises me.

Anunnaki Arctic Frost Dec 23, 2017 12:49 AM

Actually I think they are going to win the House but lose bigly in the Senate

Manchin
Tester
Heitkamp
Donnelly
McCaskill are definitely going down

Sebastion East Indian Dec 22, 2017 10:36 PM

Yes but very unlikely the Senate would remove the president if the House impeaches him. which is ideal for dems to have a lame duck impeached Trump running into 2020.

Anunnaki East Indian Dec 23, 2017 12:48 AM

Liberals deserve a President Pence. Bye bye abortion and Planned Parenthood

gregga777 Dec 22, 2017 9:58 PM

The genesis of the Russian hacking narrative is really quite simple and transparent:

Obunghole "The Magic Hafrican", Hitlery "the Rotten Rodent" Clinton, the Demon-Marxist Nazionale Kommittee and the 17 three-letter Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) agencies all conspired to:

* transfer US Uranium assets to Russia with Russians paying Hitlery and her KKK (Klinton Krime Klan) at least $145 MILLION;
* elect Hitlery "the Rotten Rodent" Clinton President in 2016 and many, many other T R E A S O N O U S crimes against the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America;
* Then, in T R U E Alinsky "Rules For Radicals" fashion, they accused Donald J. Trump of their own T R E A S O N O U S criminal collusion with Russians.

Fortunately, they lost and the training wheels are coming off the entire charade. Hopefully, it will lead them all to a Federal Super Max prison.
