## Resource

Today we bring you two audio essays from your favourite geo-political podcasters. First up Philip is looking at the recent attempt to short the precious metals market. Perhaps the push to lower the interest rate is not to juice the economy but rather an attempt ultimately stop the Sell America trade? Meanwhile Andrew’s shouting from the rooftops "it’s right there in the document!". The Donroe Doctrine … Trump wants to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, and the evidence has been there the whole time.
