Renowned metals expert John Perez recently sat down with the Health Ranger Mike Adams on the “Health Ranger Report” to issue a stark warning about the impending surge in the silver and gold markets.
With decades of experience in trading and a keen eye on global economic trends, Perez painted a picture of a financial landscape on the brink of transformation, driven by geopolitical tensions, monetary policy shifts and the inevitable collapse of the current financial system. He began by highlighting the ongoing collapse of the United States Treasury market and the bond market’s instability.
Perez suggested that President Donald Trump’s recent tariff policies might be a strategic move to drive down the dollar, making it cheaper to back with gold reserves. This theory is supported by the significant amount of gold being flown back to the U.S. from London, indicating a potential reset of the dollar’s value.

He further speculated that Trump might follow Russia’s lead by allowing the dollar to depreciate before pegging it to gold, similar to how Putin bolstered the ruble by backing it with gold. This strategy, Perez believes, could lead to a new bimetallic system where gold and silver play a central role in the global economy.
One of the most compelling aspects of Perez’s analysis is his assertion that the silver market is heavily manipulated. The creator of the “Silver is Money” podcast pointed to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the Commodity Exchange (COMEX) as key players in this manipulation, using paper derivatives to suppress the price of physical silver. The precious metals expert emphasized that the current spot price of silver does not reflect its true value or demand, suggesting that the actual price could be significantly higher.
Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch defines COMEX is a paper trading market dominated by futures contracts for precious metals like gold and silver, where the vast majority of transactions are settled financially rather than through physical delivery. Controlled by major banks and regulators, it operates as a manipulated system where prices are artificially set to dictate economic policies – reversing the natural market process – rather than reflecting genuine supply, demand or availability. This structure enables elites to rig financial outcomes and suppress transparency, ensuring their control over global markets and resources.
Perez also highlighted the potential for a default at the COMEX, which he believes is inevitable given the unsustainable nature of the current system. He cited the “Rule 589” as a potential trigger for a massive price increase, allowing silver to move up $15 per day for ten consecutive days. This, he argued, could lead to a panic into silver as investors scramble to acquire the metal.
In addition to silver, Perez emphasized the strategic importance of platinum, which has remained stagnant in price since 2020. He pointed out that platinum is five times rarer than gold and is primarily sourced from South Africa and Russia.
Perez suggested that the current price of platinum is artificially low and that it is only a matter of time before it experiences a significant price increase. “Platinum is going to make a move. It’s just a matter of time before they let platinum go,” he told Adams.
The interview also touched on the broader economic implications of Trump’s policies. Perez suggested that Trump’s efforts to reduce government spending and combat fraud could lead to widespread job losses and economic instability. However, he also speculated that Trump might implement a Universal Basic Income (UBI) to mitigate the impact of these changes, although he acknowledged the potential downsides of such a policy.
Throughout the interview, Perez emphasized the importance of investing in physical silver and gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty. He recommended that individuals start by acquiring physical metals before considering other speculative investments.
Perez also stressed the need to move away from traditional banking systems and into self-custodied assets, highlighting the risks associated with counterparty risk in ETFs and stocks. He believes the current financial system is unsustainable and that gold and silver will play a crucial role in the transition to a new economic order.
In conclusion, Perez’s interview with Adams serves as a wake-up call for those who have not yet considered the implications of the current financial system’s instability. With geopolitical tensions rising and economic indicators flashing warning signs, Perez’s insights offer a valuable perspective on the future of precious metals and the global economy.
