He discussed the challenges posed by bureaucratic hurdles and judicial inefficiencies in India, while also noting the hardworking population and positive demographic trends that could drive consumer demand. Ryan cautioned that excessive debt could impede economic progress, drawing parallels to past crises.

We caught up with Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver Corp (🇺🇸 DVS - 🇨🇦 DV) — the rare “silver unicorn” rewriting the rules of silver exploration in North America. While most of the world’s silver comes as a byproduct from mega-mines in Mexico and Peru, Dolly Varden’s British Columbia project is a high-grade, primary silver mine in a top-tier jurisdiction — making it one of the few pure silver plays left standing. Shawn breaks down how his team has defied brutal junior mining conditions to: ✅ Secure an NYSE American uplisting — joining an elite club of only ~10 pure silver equities. ✅ Complete three strategic acquisitions with minimal dilution — growing the land package from 15,000 hectares to over 100,000 hectares in just months. ✅ Launch an aggressive 35,000-meter drill program, already underway with four rigs turning — with eyes on adding another 20,000 meters if the data supports it. ✅ Lock in an oversubscribed $28.75 million financing at the highest share price in company history — doubling the treasury and avoiding a dreaded down round. We also dug deep into why the big silver and gold producers are getting rewarded — but advanced juniors like Dolly Varden remain undervalued… for now. With historic high-grade past producers now consolidated under one roof, supportive major shareholders like Hecla and Eric Sprott, and multiple catalysts on deck, Dolly Varden is positioned to break out as silver approaches historic levels. 👉 Don’t miss Shawn’s forecast for drill results hitting before the Rick Rule Symposium in Boca Raton — and why this cycle might turn silver stocks into the tech stocks of tomorrow. 📈 Ticker Symbols: 🇺🇸 DVS (OTC) 🇨🇦 DV (TSXV) 👉 Visit: https://dollyvardensilver.com 🔔 Subscribe & stay informed on major milestones, upcoming drill campaigns, and silver market trends. #silverstocks #DollyVardenSilver #Gold #MiningStocks #FinancialSurvivalNetwork #KerryLutz #ResourceInvesting **Disclaimer This interview is sponsored by Dolly Varden Silver, and Financial Survival Network has received payment to conduct this interview of thirty-one hundred and fifty dollars.

In a bold declaration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. has officially ended government-sponsored censorship through the State Department. In this episode, Robert Ian of ConquerChange.com breaks down Rubio’s April 17th, 2025 interview where he claims the Global Engagement Center—the controversial censorship arm of the State Department—was shut down in late 2024. Rubio reveals how this censorship infrastructure, originally created to counter radical extremism after 9/11, was quietly weaponized to silence American voices, especially during the 2020 election and early pandemic. NGOs were used as proxy hitmen, tagging U.S. citizens as "foreign agents" to justify de-platforming. Now, Rubio promises transparency, a deep investigation into who ordered the censorship, and a commitment to free speech as the antidote to disinformation. But questions remain: Will this effort truly dismantle the censorship machine? Can the U.S. push back against European Union censorship laws targeting American speech abroad? Or is this just another PR move? We explore it all—with hard questions, historical context, and a close look at what this means for freedom of expression in the digital age.

In this compelling commentary, Robert Ian of conquerchange.com dives into the issue of media gaslighting and the distortion of facts surrounding free speech and censorship. He highlights constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley’s recent blog post addressing a false claim repeated by NPR and others: that the Supreme Court rejected allegations of government coordination with social media companies to censor content. Ian clarifies that the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Murthy v. Missouri was solely about the lack of standing for Missouri and Louisiana, not a judgment on the merits of the censorship claims. Ian emphasizes Turley’s point that no Supreme Court decision was made regarding whether government pressure on social media platforms violated the First Amendment. He critiques the mainstream media and figures like law professor Mary Anne Franks for perpetuating this falsehood, labeling it a deliberate misrepresentation. Ian underscores Turley’s long-standing defense of the Constitution and free speech, noting the growing scarcity of credible voices like his in today’s media landscape. The commentary also connects this issue to broader concerns, such as the weaponization of free speech against ordinary citizens and the dismissal of evidence like the Twitter and Facebook Files as “conspiracy theories.” Ian warns that censorship is a direct threat to freedom and calls for vigilance against these troubling trends.
