US President Donald Trump speaks to the press about a critical minerals stockpile with $12 billion in initial funding, as Washington seeks to lower reliance on China for rare earths and other resources, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on February 2, 2026.

Wall Street is EXPLOITING a new geopolitical crisis, as President Trump’s radical “Project Vault” sends select mining stocks SOARING in a blatant cash grab branded as patriotism. This is NOT about national security—it’s about a select group of billionaires and corporate insiders getting RICH off a manufactured supply panic while YOU pay the price.
Shares of politically-connected firms like Critical Metals and USA Rare Earth skyrocketed after Trump announced a staggering $12 billion public-private scheme. The shocking detail? A MASSIVE $10 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank—your tax dollars—is being funneled to prop up these companies. This is CORPORATE WELFARE disguised as a strategic move, a desperate attempt to hide America’s shocking dependence on China for the materials that power everything from your iPhone to the Pentagon’s F-35 jets.
Experts warn this move is a dangerous escalation that could IGNITE a full-blown resource war. China controls over 90% of the global magnet supply—the VERY HEART of modern tech and weapons. Trump’s project admits a terrifying truth: America is utterly vulnerable, and this stockpile is a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. The real question no one in power wants you to ask: Who PROFITS from perpetual conflict and scarcity?
The establishment media is celebrating the market bump, but they’re missing the DISTURBING implications. We are witnessing the explicit financialization of national survival, where war preparedness is just another asset class for the elite. This isn’t preparedness; it’s a calculated transfer of wealth and a admission that American industry has FAILED. The cold war for resources has begun, and your future is being traded on the pre-market floor. You are now an investor in the decline of the West, whether you like it or not.
