On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I said that as of 5am this morning I was 85% sure the “bombing” of a hospital in Gaza City was from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the “junior” terrorist group in Gaza. By mid-afternoon today, I’m at 99%; one can never be 100% sure of things like this in a world where pretty much anything can be faked.
At 99%, I’d say it’s pretty darn certain.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson laid out some condemnation for corporate media that echoed the initial false report as if it was gospel…
Hamas said Israel bombed a hospital and killed 500 people. We now have found out that:
- Israel didn’t do it, it was a misfire by a terror group.
- The hospital wasn’t bombed, it was a parking lot.
- There is no evidence that 500 died beyond what Hamas said.
And our media parroted it all without question.

Sadly, there have been riots and attacks at embassies across the globe as a result of corporate media’s complicity in spreading the false narrative. But for those who don’t know, I’ll inform you that spreading false narratives and reinforcing the globalist agenda is their primary job, truth be damned.
This is the biggest problem we’re going to have moving forward with the war. The propaganda that comes from both sides cannot be believed. Granted, the pro-Israel propaganda is small compared to the pro-Hamas propaganda, but it still exists. It’s our job to try to disseminate the truth through discernment and proper investigation.
Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer took it a step further by not only calling out the lies but also calling out some of the liars. Moreover, she joined Tim Pool in questioning whether the hospital was even bombed at all or if it was a small rocket that caused minor damage with far fewer than the 500+ reported dead.
The hospital in Gaza was never bombed @timcast. CCTV footage proves that the rocket misfired after it was fired from a cemetery behind the hospital. I have the footage with the time stamp. It shows a rocket, not an aerial bomb.
Meanwhile, large accounts online that are likely being paid by HAMAS and IRGC via the subscribe button on @X are spreading lies about Israel dropping an Ariel bomb on the hospital. The hospital wasn’t even directly hit, the parking lot was.
An aerial bomb would have left a crater in the ground, the shock wave from an Israeli bomb would have leveled all surrounding buildings, and it definitely would not have left the hospital solar panels in tact on top of the hospital.
The image of the parking lot below was taken by an Arab Palestinian. Not an Israeli. The image clearly shows that the fire began in the parking lot next to the hospital.
The roof damage on top of the hospital, which is still standing, is more indicative of shrapnel damage from disintegrating components of a rocket.
Palestinian Islamic jihad fired a rocket into the parking lot of a hospital to spread lies and create a fake narrative that @israel dropped an aerial bomb onto s hospital with innocent Palestinian civilians inside.
The hospital was never Bombed! This whole story was fabricated and even shared by sitting members of Congress like @Ilhan for the sake of inciting more hatred against Jews and Israel.
The photo composite proves it.
This really begs the question…. How did 500 people die in the parking lot? Did 500 people even die? The hospital is still in tact. So where are these alleged dead Palestinians?
Has anyone even seen any bodies?
Or are X influencers like @jacksonhinklle and others making a fortune off of spreading more Pallywood Propaganda for Iran?
@jacksonhinklle you should really issue a correction for the lies you have posted about Israel bombing a hospital.
Must pay well to be a mouthpiece for Iranian backed terrorists.

Through all of this, the most unfortunate reality is that countless masses of people will never hear the truth. They’ll go with the initial report because that’s all they will hear. They’ll blame Israel, riot on behalf of Hamas, and label those of us who try to share the truth as spreaders of “misinformation.” And it’s not just abroad in Muslim-majority countries. In the United States, a huge chunk of people will go forward believing Israel bombed a hospital and killed hundreds of innocent patients and medical professionals.
We truly are living in a post-truth society. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
