THE BIG PICTURE

The Triumphant Yet Humble King – “The prophecy itself says much about what sort of King the coming Messiah would be: triumphant, victorious, and yet humble, riding on a colt, a foal, the young offspring of a donkey. For all the Messiah’s successes and glories, the prophecy indicates as King He would be on the same level as the people of Israel. With this imagery, the prophecy itself recalls the ancient Mosaic commandments for kings of Israel found in Deuteronomy: the king was to be from among the people of Israel, and no foreigner not of the nation of Israel was to rule; the king was to keep his own copy of the Law, and study it daily; the king was to remember he was as much under the Law as the rest of the people.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Who Controls Your Food… and Your Voice? The Rise of the Precautionary State – “How Risk Management Is Reshaping Freedom in Canada. Most Canadians are too busy living their lives to notice how quietly the rules around them are changing. They are working, raising families, running businesses, and trusting that the systems governing food production, property rights, and public safety exist mainly to protect them. But beneath the surface, a different model of governance has been steadily expanding. A system where authorities can intervene before wrongdoing is proven.” – Connie Shields – A MUST READ FOR ALL CANADIANS AS WELL AS OTHERS!!!

They Want to Stop Lightning Now – “The real danger isn’t climate. It’s the belief we can control nature. There is a point where science stops asking questions and starts issuing commands. We are there. A Canadian startup now claims it can suppress lightning to prevent wildfires. The logic is simple and increasingly familiar. Lightning ignites fires. Fires release carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide contributes to climate change. Therefore, lightning itself has become a problem to solve. But that conclusion only makes sense if you accept a much deeper assumption. That natural systems are errors. And that we are capable of correcting them. This is not about lightning. It is about a fundamental shift in how nature is being framed.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 28, 2026 (VIDEO) – “Climate engineering / weather warfare operations are completely hindering the planet’s ability to respond to damage already done, if these operations are not fully exposed and halted, our days are numbered.” – Dane Wigington

Energy Lockdown: The Drumbeat Begins – “Six years later and nearly to the day, this new attempted lockdown seems to be going the same way, not concerning infectious disease but energy use. Isn’t it remarkable how the officially recommended methods of managing these completely different realms bear so much in common? They both come down to restricting your liberty, rationing your consumption, redirecting your attention, and shouting down critics.Suddenly, this institution called the International Energy Agency holds new prominence in world media. Founded in 1974, it’s an NGO associated with OPEC. It has no hard but only soft power – like the World Health Organization, with whom the IEA shares a similarly authoritative branding. There is a new Fauci too. The head of the IEA is highly decorated and universally praised Dr. Fatih Birol. Though he has never worked in industry, any more than Fauci had seen patients in decades,” – Brownstone Institute

Unfortunately, The Israeli Government Blocks Palm Sunday Worship at Church of the Holy Sepulchre – “For the first time in centuries, the Catholic mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem commemorating Palm Sunday, was stopped as a result of security concerns. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and launches the Holy Week commemorations for Christians which culminates in Easter.” – Sundance

The Donroe Doctrine After Impact Phil Butler – “The internal transformation of power in the United States and the foreign policy decisions of the Trump administration are leading to a systemic weakening of American influence and an increase in global instability.” – Phil Butler

Geopolitics of the Third World War – “American hegemony or multipolarity. Many analysts are now advancing the hypothesis that the Third World War has already begun and that we are in its first stage. Whether this is so or not will become clear in the near future, but for now let us assume the validity of this hypothesis and attempt to survey its geopolitical contours. The essence of the Third World War lies in a radical transformation of the entire architecture of world politics. The international institutions that exist today have long ceased to correspond to the real state of affairs.” – Alexander Dugin

On The Failure Of Shock And Awe In Iran – “Russia also succumbed to the idea of the shock and awe doctrine. After the war with Georgia in 2008, the Russian military was restructured to carry out rapid and destructive military interventions. However, Russia was the first to stumble on this doctrine. In spring 2022, it faced a critical choice: Either fight a serious, bloody war of attrition or settle for a disgraceful peace. Moscow chose war, and the Ukraine conflict has now entered its fifth year. Trump now finds himself at a similar crossroads: Fight or to concede defeat. The problem is that the entire Western military-industrial complex has spent decades adapting to the shock and awe doctrine; NATO and the US possess unparalleled and exorbitantly expensive airstrike capabilities, but don’t have many other resources. If a targeted nation can withstand the initial air assaults, time will be on its side – unlike Russia, the West lacks the resources for a prolonged military campaign.” – Moon of Alabama

The Horror of Another Week In Washington -‘“Boots on the Ground” coming next but that’s not all.The past week has seen the usual mixture of developments flowing from the United States government that make one either want to laugh or cry. On the humor side, though with more than a bit of extreme disgust, there are the latest moves by the megalomaniac-in-chief in the White House to slap his name and picture all across the nation and even on maps depicting the rest of the world. His latest foray was to drop into an otherwise innocuous speech a suggestion that he might be renaming the much-in-the-news Strait of Hormuz after himself, suggesting he might be calling it the Strait of Trump after the US takes it away from the Iranians. ” – PhilipGiraldi

Essential US AWACS Plane Destroyed Amidst New Iranian Attacks, as US Continues Losing Critical Capability in Region – “USS Tripoli has finally arrived in the CENTCOM region, which presumably means somewhere in the northern Arabian Sea. Given that the Lincoln was said to have scurried away to a 1,000km distance, we can only assume the Tripoli will keep a similar range away from Iranian missiles while Trump continues to bide his time with his weak-handed bluffs. In the meantime, US losses have mounted in the region. Today came the following announcements: Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan Airbase was hit with many US KC-135s damaged and destroyed:” – Simplicius

FAILING TO DEFEAT HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL & US PRESSURE SYRIA’S AHMED AL-SHARAA TO JOIN WAR – “penly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area. Understanding the costly price of attempting to physically take all of south Lebanon militarily, both Washington and Tel Aviv have been attempting to devise strategies that would help achieve Israel’s war goals of weakening Hezbollah. One possible option that has been placed on the table is the use of Syria’s military to invade Lebanon’s border and attack Hezbollah, aiming to go after what is labelled critical infrastructure belonging to the Lebanese group. According to reports, the US Trump administration has directly put pressure on Syrian leader Ahmed al-Shara’a to do just that.” – Robert Inlakesh

ECONOMIC NEWS

Jar Farming for Dummies – “After one month of dropping bombs and launching missiles at Iran, Trump has called for a time out. Month one, by and large, was nothing. The impacts to the average person were mainly limited to sticker shock at the gas pump. Brent crude briefly spiked above $120 a barrel, and everyone’s 401(k) took a modest nosedive. Month two, however, is when things really start to get serious. That’s when higher prices are met with physical shortages. The next 30 days are the real make or break moment for the global economy.” – MN Gordon

$100 Oil Is Solving Russia’s Budget Problem – Charles Kennedy

I’m Sorry, But The Fed Has Run Out Of Road – “There is no painless option left. It’s deflationary depression or crippling inflation. There is a special kind of denial that only financial markets can sustain. It is the quiet insistence that everything is fine because the S&P is only down about 10%, as if that number alone captures the health of an entire financial system. It is the belief that until equities are in full free fall, nothing truly serious can be happening underneath. But as we know, underneath, things are already starting to break. That is the part people are not fully appreciating.” – Quoth the Raven

US Dollar Demand Soars: Dedollarization Was a Fabrication of the Bull Market – ““De-dollarization” was a major market story in 2024 and 2025, not because it was true, but because it sounded plausible enough to scare people out of the most in-demand assets. The reality was much simpler. The US dollar remains the world’s global reserve currency because there is no fiat alternative.” – Daniel Lacalle – DANIEL MAY BE RIGHT ON THAT POINT, BUT BESIDE OTHER FIAT CURRENCYM THERE’S ALWAYS GOD AND SILVER AND PERHAPS BITCOIN!!

Tokenization: Fannie Mae Partners With Coinbase To Allow Crypto And Stablecoin Payments For Home Loans And Mortgages – “What could go wrong? This is what I have been warning would happen to housing for some time..I have repeatedly said that tokenization would be introduced to unlock the housing market because tokenization allows for “fractional ownership,” the ability to split assets into multiple pieces and digital contracts. Coinbase and Fannie Mae have just offered that. Moreover, the language used by Coinbase is the same language we have heard BlackRock CEO and World Economic Forum co-chair Larry Fink use to describe tokenization — the talk of updating the “plumbing” of the financial system and the so-called “new physics of money.” ” – The WinePress

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Empires Don’t Collapse From War Alone… They Finally Collapse When The Food Runs Out – “Now here’s the part that actually matters. Because while global systems may be fragile, individual households don’t have to be. In fact, this is where small, practical steps start to carry real weight. First, building a food buffer isn’t extreme—it’s historical common sense. Families that had reserves have always weathered disruptions better than those that didn’t. Then, reducing dependence on imported inputs becomes critical.” – Bill Heid

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK (USED BEFORE)

I used to watch “Highway Patrol”
Whittlin’ with my knife
But the thought never struck me
I’d be black and white for life
I was raised on law and order
I a community of strife
Became a restless boarder
And I never took a wife.

I went lookin’ for Khaddafi
Aboard Air Force One
But I never did find him
And the C.I.A. said Son,
You’ll never be a hero
Your flyin’ days are done
It’s time for you to go home now
Stop sniffin’ that smokin’ gun.

I was travellin’ with my family
In the Mideast late one night
In the hotel all was quiet
The kids were out like little lights
Then the street was filled with jeeps
There was an explosion to the right
They chanted “Death to America”
I was feelin’ like a fight.

So I ran downstairs
And out into the street
Someone kicked me in the belly
Someone else kissed my feet
I was Rambo in the disco
I was shootin’ to the beat
When they burned me in effigy
My vacation was complete.

THE BIG PICTURE

Are We Getting Ready to Put a Fork in It? – “Is the world done—is it time to put a fork in it? Few Americans know what goes on in the Southern Caucasus (Armenia/Azerbaijan), the training ground for US tactics to take down Iran. First came communications repression—Armenia is now completely under US control. When online tactics don’t bring surrender, the US/Israel goes to massive bombing to cause regime change. If that doesn’t work they stir up populations to go against the leadership. If that doesn’t work they initiate proxy war—foreign invaders. These are the tactics brought against Iran, assuming Iranians would riseup against the leadership. So far it’s the opposite. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Trump’s War Game Strategy Poised For WWIII Long War – “Pakistan’s PM Sharif has offered to broker a peace deal between the US and Iran (Israel is not a part of this). The people of Pakistan overwhelmingly support Iran and their former PM, Imran Khan who was couped via classic American intervention and jailed in 2022 setting off violent protests. Imran Khan was to Pakistan what Hussein was to Iraq. In the Global Order as envisioned today – all regime changes occurred for the purpose of gaining traction for the Global Kingship Trump envisions for himself – although his health would appear problematic for that goal to be achieved. The strategy proposed for a Kharg Island win is questionable with some considering a nuclear hit as possible while others postulate a ‘long war’. Instead of listening to the advice of his Military Generals, including four star, Dan Caine, Trump has chosen to follow the advice of hedge fund managers for his strategies and a former major who appears to be quite unstable running a $1.5 trillion department.” – Helena Glass

Trump Goes Amalek on Iran: Israelization of The US Military; Gazafication of Iran & Lebanon – “By rights, Iran then is not only expected to defend its people—but to defend them against any “State [that] allows its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State [USA] for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State [Iran].” By the letter of the law, Iran is fighting fair when it targets the Persian Gulf states, from which attacks on the Iranian people are staged. These eternal universal laws have been sundered by two rogue, nuclear powers, whose nuclear proliferation is undeclared and unsupervised. Obscenely, the US and Israel have justified their attack on a third state [Iran] that has no nukes and has not initiated war in centuries, by invoking nuclear control and non-proliferation,” – Ilana Mercer

Data And The Government – “NPR says “oh noos, the government is buying data!” Really? Precisely why is the government different from anyone else in this regard? Data that we allow to be bought and sold in the so-called “private market” isn’t private anymore. The issue is not the government buying that which anyone with money can buy — its that we permit this sort of collection, collation and abuse to occur in the first place. The extraction of money from you is why the data is collected and sold in the first place. That is, you’re abused in this fashion without being compensated and literally nobody has any way to know where that data is, who’s collecting it and the use(s) to which it is put. It only has value because it can be used to disadvantage you — that is, to in some way extract money from you. If this was no true it wouldn’t be collected, collated and sold in the first place!” – Karl Denninger

Converting Texas to Islam – “The pattern of Islam is to use schools and school boards, government, the courts, art museums, and other major institutions, including outreach to churches, to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally takeover a nation.” – Carole Hornsby Haynes

Same COVID-Style Lockdowns Planned, this Time for Energy (VIDEO) -“Here in 2026, the IEA is telling us to “shelter from oil shocks” just like in 2020 when governments worldwide were telling us to “shelter in place” and be scared of an invisible enemy and bogeymen virus (SARS-CoV-2) whose existence could never be proven. Learn why the same Agenda 2030 agenda of rationing, travel restrictions and lockdowns is being pushed, only this time with a different pretext.” – Makia Freeman

Congressman Issues Alert: Top Scientists Found Dead After Testifying About UFO Files – “Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) warned this week that the pattern is too serious to ignore. Burchett pointed to multiple cases involving individuals with knowledge of sensitive technologies, including nuclear and aerospace research, who have either disappeared or died within the past year. “Something is going on,” he said, referencing one scientist who “had some nuclear secrets” and went missing “the week after the president said he was gonna start releasing some of those [UFO] files.” “We had several folks that have left this earth or disappeared that had some close proximity to a lot of that,” Burchett added.” – Frank Bergman – THE MSM WILL JUST CALL HIM A CONSPIRACIST AND WON’T DIG INTO THE TRUTH. LOTS OF SCIENTIST HAVE DIED MYSTERIOUSLY OVER THE YEARS. IN FACT SO MANY THAT STEVE QUAYLE HAS A SECTION ON HIS WEBSITE ABOUT IT, BUT HE QUIT ADDING TO IT AFTER 2016. NOT SURE WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US Suffers Heavy Casualties In Iranian Strike On Saudi Base As Houthis Enter War With Missile Launches On Israel – “The Houthis have finally entered the war, greatly raising the stakes on what’s becoming a multi-front engagement, given Israel and Hezbollah have already been locked in a ground war in Lebanon. Overnight saw the Houthis send a barrage of missiles on Israel, which is the first such strike since the US began its Operation Epic Fury.” – Tyler Durden

The Home-Grown Shahed Drone Threat to America – “First, watch this very short video: “Launching Shahed-type drones from a moving pickup truck. – ”Folks, we are going to see this attack vector spread around the world, including in the United States.

But the most important point is that ANYBODY can make these in a garage.” – Matt Bracken

A Kid Just 3D-Printed A $97 MANPAD Rocket Launcher – “A viral video circulating on X appears to show a young developer unveiling a 3D-printed proof-of-concept prototype of a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile system, or MANPADS, built for less than $100. According to the project page on GitHub, the five-minute video showcases a “proof-of-concept prototype of a low-cost rocket launcher and guided rocket system built using consumer electronics and 3D-printed components.”Perhaps the kid has a future in working for some ‘war unicorn’ that produces low-cost war tech. That’s certainly what the Department of War is searching for. He created a prototype MANPADS for $97. The Army currently pays $400,000 per unit. ” – Tyler Durden – MORE THAN LIKELY HIS FUTURE WILL BE BEING ARRESTED AS A TERRORIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The New “Lloyds of London” – Maritime Insurance Moves East – “And global shipping along with i. tA tanker insured in Hong Kong or Moscow isn’t operating in a legal void; it’s operating outside the Western system. That doesn’t make it illegitimate, it just makes it inconvenient for those who once held a monopoly on defining the rules. As this dynamic deepens, Western companies may find themselves with little choice but to partner more closely with Chinese shipping lines, even for routes where China is not a port of call. When reliability, affordability, and access are on the line, commercial pragmatism often overrides geopolitical preference.” – Ashes of Pompeii

Absolute Proof That MAGA Is a Dead Parrot – “This…is CPAC. A political sea change is happening in America.The 2026 CPAC(Conservative Political Action Committee) conference, has opened in the Way of the Laughing Buddha. Such inspiration to accurately portray where most Americans really are politically has seldom been seen in our history, so it is appropriate that this happened during this tumultuous 250th Year of our pretend Republic.

Russia Warns of Force Majeure on Oil Cargoes After Port Disruptions – “Russia’s oil exporters are warning buyers that cargoes from its key Baltic ports may not be delivered at all. Russian producers are now saying they may declare force majeure on cargoes from key Baltic Sea ports after a sustained wave of Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out critical infrastructure this week. The epicenter is Ust-Luga, one of Russia’s most important export terminals, where oil loadings have been halted since Wednesday following repeated strikes from Ukraine and a fire that, as of Friday, was still burning. Industry sources told Reuters that shipments may not resume until mid-April. The potential force majeure announcement comes at a time when the oil market is already under strain. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has already taken a significant chunk of oil and LNG supply off the market. Now layer in Russian export outages, and the result is a system with very little slack.” – Julianne Geiger –

THE BIG PICTURE

Trump Extends The Extension on Iran In Prep For False Flag Op. – “The Midterms are around the corner if we make it that long… So far, every Trump backed candidate is trailing every democrat and it looks like a landslide will be captured for all to witness. There is ONE person responsible – Trump. No one else. Everyone’s Power is built on Trump allowing them power.

Big Picture of World Wide Collapse And, Are We All Destined To Eat Less? – “We are already in the early stages of an agricultural apocalypse, and many Americans and people around the world are suffering and dying. With the Middle East war continuing, Qatar shutting down gas production, and both China and Russia blocking fertilizer exports, and super floods in Brazil, energy and fertilizer prices are up considerably; trouble will reach millions, if not billions, of stomachs. It’s a world of trouble. And both social and mainstream media are doing a horrible job of reporting on reality.” – Dr. Sircus

A TRAGEDY OF STAGGERING SADNESS: The Democide of a Young Gang Rape Victim – “The government of Spain, a staunch EU member, murdered a 25-year-old gang-rape victim who was left paralyzed after a suicide attempt by euthanasia Thursday in Barcelona. Noelia Castillo Ramos had changed her mind, and wanted to live despite fighting for years to end her life after being brutally gang raped multiple times by imported Third World replacement migration savages. The government of Spain is guilty of premeditated murder, but it gets worse, because the extermination of white people in Europe is just one component of this intensifying yet longstanding depopulation agenda, with the profit motive always informing the democide; to wit: While the Mockingbird MSM media now claim that Noelia Castillo Ramos wanted to die……what really transpired was that between the government and the hospital standing to extract millions of euros from her organs, this young lady and her entire family were being pressuring to comply with the scheduled euthanasia even though she had already changed her mind and wanted to live.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Europe, for years, has garishly, and in plain sight, planned its own journey to a de-industrialized neo-medieval Palookaville.

The key point though, is that we are long past the point where we should be demanding a reconciliation with the will of the people. These elected officials are only in it for their own benefit. I know I’ve said this before. Actually nothing has changed since about 2008 in that regard (and I don’t mean just Obama). For nearly twenty years we’ve suffered under the will of the government and what little has been preserved of our rights, our dignity, has not been enough to continue to support a government wholly dedicated to its own preservation.” – T.L. Davis

Trump’s Signature To Appear On New Dollar Bills To Commemorate America’s 250th Birthday, A First For Sitting President. Trump Builds Racetrack In DC For Grand Prix – “It’s the end of the empire, with bread & circuses galore. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Treasurer Brandon Beach revealed this week that the department will include President Donald J. Trump’s signature on new currency bills later this year, supposedly to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States. The overall designs of bills will not change, except for Trump’s ⁠signature replacing the Treasurer’s, Treasury officials said. On January 30th, Trump signed an executive order to Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. ” – The WinePress – DESPITE IMAGES CIRCULATING ON THE NET, HIS PICTURE WON’T BE ON BILLS JUST HIS SIGNATURE!!!!

Is a “Democracy” That’s For Sale Still a Democracy? No, It’s an Oligarchy – “Is a “democracy” that’s for sale still a democracy, or is it something else? The question arises from the nature of our political system, whatever you wish to call it: it is an auction for political favors / influence in which the highest bidder wins–as in any auction. “The will of the people” is a useful artifice. Those who collect the largest war chests of cash win elections because they buy visibility via marketing and adverts–just like selling detergent or “the latest innovation.”” – Charles Hugh Smith

Ancient Christian communities being forcefully uprooted from their homes in Israel’s West Bank – “These Christian communities have co-existed in the Holy Land for 2,000 years, now their very existence is threatened.” – Leo Hohmann

NYT Admits Iran Rendered Virtually All US Gulf Bases Uninhabitable – “As we have seen, the USS Gerald R Ford has flunked out of the Middle East, US bases are in ruins or deserted, and US strategic air defense radar installations have gone up in smoke. As others have noted, no adversary in history can be said to have achieved such an effect against the US—except maybe the Japanese at Pearl Harbor.” – Simplicius – BUT WE ARE WINNING SAYS OUR FEARLESS LEADER!!!!

Logic, Logistics, And At Least Another 10 Days.. – “The Pentagon is reportedly choosing ‘final blow’ options if talks fail. There are strong suggestions that if the US steps up its attacks, the UAE and Saudi Arabia will move from defence to offence alongside it, which would change the regional dynamic – they, like Israel, are not able to ‘go home’ afterwards if they fail. This morning also sees news the US may send an additional 10,000 ground troops – and most of those forces could only arrive by next weekend, just ahead of the new Monday deadline. If the US were to take the mouth of the Strait it could lock Iranian oil in, throttling the regime, while letting others’ out, albeit under some fire. In short, we have an extension of the war until at least April 6 as the financial press say ‘24 days to disaster: Trump’s new deadline won’t change oil shock maths’. Oil already at sea pre-war will have been used up by then, revealing the true supply shock.” – Michael Every

The Iran-U.S.-UAE-Pakistan riddle – “What’s in effect now is the rewriting of the global operating system. And the new OS runs on petroyuan.” – Pepe Escobar

The coming military and psychological unravelling? – “Tet v2? In the late 1960’s, America stood at the zenith of its postwar power. Its economy dominated, its military seemed unstoppable, and its confidence was unshakable. The war in Vietnam was going swimmingly, MacNamara’s body counts were the proof of it. Then came Tet. It hasn’t arrived yet, but all indications are that the next Tet is approaching very fast. A military disaster is already unfolding but it is gradual, there are no headlines (yet?) saying “TODAY WE LOST”. A large military operation in the Gulf involving thousands of troops could well be that moment. Geography, logistics, fighting spirit, and for once possibly even technology, all favor the Iranians.” – Ashes of Pompeii

FBI Director Kash Patel’s Emails Hacked by Iran – “Cybersecurity hygiene is apparently only for the little people. There’s a joke among cybersecurity geeks that they changed their password to “incorrect” so whenever they forget it, the computer reminds them: “Your password is incorrect.” Evidently FBI Director Kash Patel did something similar because the Iranians managed to hack his personal email.” – Ken Klippenstein

Cartels Are Going ‘Broke’ as US Fentanyl Supply Drops by Almost 60 Percent: Homan – “Officials report declining fentanyl availability and purity, attributing trends to stronger border measures and disruptions to chemical supply chains.” – Darlene McCormick Sanchez

Pritzker BLAMES TRUMP For Student MURDERED By Illegal Alien Released Twice Under Biden – “The killer, Jose Medina-Medina, was caught and released by Border Patrol twice in 2023 under the Biden administration. Yet Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s eventual response was to deflect blame onto President Trump. While most Democrats stay silent or deflect, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman broke ranks and delivered a blunt reality check. He’s the only high-profile Democrat showing any willingness to acknowledge the obvious: open-border and sanctuary policies are getting Americans killed.” – Steve Watson

ECONOMIC NEWS

Oil prices close at highest level since 2022 as Iran negotiations fail to ease supply fears – Sam Meredith, Lee Ying Shan and Spencer Kimball

Private Credit Cracks -“‘Cracks are spreading in the $1.8 trillion dollar private credit industry. Echoing the 2008 financial crisis but this time gutting the load-bearing walls. On Tuesday the Financial Times reported Ares Management, which runs $623 billion, limited redemptions in one of their flagship funds. That’s the asset management equivalent of a bank run — investors can’t pull their money because it could spark a fire sale that could collapse the whole fund. For scale, $623 billion would make Ares the 9th largest bank in America — just ahead of Capital One.” – Peter St Onge

Harvard Report: Oil Shock Just Beginning – “Here’s why we’re just at the start of an oil crisis” – No mi Prins

US Winemakers and Beer Brewers Face an Existential Crisis: Plunging Alcohol Consumption – “Beer brewers have long suffered as Americans switched to wine. But since Covid, even winemakers got hit, and 2025 was really bad.” – Wolf Richter

$200 BILLION War Debt While Americans Face 17% Import Price Inflation Crisis (VIDEO) – “Peter Schiff exposes the Trump administration’s reckless war financing, revealing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s shocking dismissal of questions about paying for a $200 billion Iran War appropriation. When pressed on funding sources, Bessent called the question “ridiculous” and claimed America has “plenty of money” despite $39 trillion in debt, ruling out tax increases while offering no spending cuts. Schiff argues this proves the biggest threat to America isn’t Iran but Washington’s own fiscal irresponsibility, as the war becomes a convenient scapegoat for the massive inflation already baked into the economy from Trump’s policies.” – Peter Schiff

Missing US Trade Report Data – When and Where Is It? – “Balance of trade data is a key component of GDP. It’s temporarily suspended.” – Mish

Mind the Real Money – Why Gold and Silver are Soaring – David Stockman – NOT SURE WHEN DAVID WROTE THIS BUT THE PRICES OF BOTH DROPPED SINCE THIS WAS WRITTEN!!!

March futures expiry – “It’s clear that as the war rages on, the dollar will be a casualty and gold benefit. But the bullion banks need to square their books for the ride. That’s what markets are about. Looking at the silver chart below, it may be too early to call a resumption of the bull trend but coupled with the lowest open interest for over 20 years, one can only conclude that paper silver is deeply oversold and will struggle to go any lower. Furthermore, when it does turn, it’s set up for a massive run higher given a severe lack of physical and that despite prices almost halving backwardations persist. ” – Alasdair Macleod

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How to Push Through Homesteading Burnout – “Most homesteaders start with abundance in mind but somewhere along the way become less enthusiastic because the blackberries got anthracnose, the cows jumped the fence, and the tomatoes expressed blossom-end rot. Our initial fantasies and dreams turn to reality sooner than we’d like and we’re suddenly faced with a daunting amount of maintenance. The castles we’ve built in our imagination actually require more — more work, more knowledge, more observation, more skill — than we first envisioned. ” – Joel Salatin

Teaching Faith Through Self-Reliance – Cache Valley Prepper

Gas Prices Are Just the Beginning! Here’s What’s Skyrocketing Next – “Before we get into the financial details, we need to look at the broader economic situation in the United States. What is happening overseas does not stay overseas. Our country is tied into global energy, trade, and supply systems, which means conflicts abroad often show up at home through higher prices, delays, and shortages.” – Kate L. Gilmour

THE BIG PICTURE

Israel Has Nuclear Weapons? – “Sorry, Can’t Comment On That. Judge Napolitano showed a clip of a U.S. government official, a nuclear proliferation expert, explaining he could not comment on whether Israel had nuclear weapons. WTF? Israel started working on nuclear weapons early in the 1960s. Everyone knows they have a nuclear arsenal of somewhere between 90 and 200 nuclear bombs (some estimates go as high as 300). Yet Trump administration officials can’t even acknowledge that Israel has nukes. Could you be more slavishly subservient to Israel than that?” – Bill Astore

Insurance only works if you have it before the storm arrives. – “When global uncertainty rises, precious metals tend to attract attention because they operate under a different set of rules than stocks or currencies. Even before tensions escalated in the Middle East, central banks around the world were buying gold at the fastest pace seen in decades. Think about that for a moment. The same institutions responsible for printing currency are quietly accumulating gold. Most Americans spend decades working hard, saving money, and building retirement accounts. But markets can change quickly. A geopolitical crisis, a currency shock, or an economic shift can remind investors just how fragile paper assets can sometimes be. This isn’t about panic. It’s about preparation.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

They Knew About the Strokes. They Pushed the Shots Anyway – “A bombshell Senate investigation reveals the CDC detected a statistically significant stroke signal in November 2022 — then spent months burying it while the White House demanded more boosters.” – Justin Hart

Ditch the sports drinks: Doctors reveal 11 whole foods that prevent painful muscle cramps – Cassie B.

New Climate Study Debunks Key UN IPCC Dogma – “Breaking research reveals the key metric behind so-called global warming is based on “physically meaningless” calculations. If true, it could upend decades of climate science and policy.” – Alex Newman

PFAS Pesticides Are Showing Up on Our Food—And Regulators Are Still Looking the Other Way – “Remember when FDA tried convincing us there were no “forever chemicals” in our food? Well, a new analysis has uncovered that residues of these incredibly dangerous chemicals are showing up on a large share of fruits and vegetables grown in the United States. A new Environmental Working Group analysis found PFAS pesticide residues on 37% of tested California produce, with especially high contamination in fruits like peaches, strawberries, and grapes.” – ANH-USA

NEWS

Who Gets a Seat at the Multipolar Table? – “The unipolar club is closed. The United States no longer holds the only key. A new table is being set in global politics, and the question isn’t whether the world is becoming multipolar. It aleady is. The question is: who actually gets a seat? Not who is invited. Not who is hoped for. Who earns it.” – Ashes of Pompeii

The Only Thing You Need to Read About Iran – “Perhaps 100 people in the entire world know the reality about what is transpiring between the U.S./ Isreal and Iran. Those people, with few exceptions, are NOT talking to the media or posting online. The stakes are too high. The ones who are talking to the media/ posting online are doing so for strategic purposes (misdirection, strategic deception, bluffing, etc.) If you think you know what’s happening because you read what “geopolitical_genius_guy” posted on X or because you listened to “military-influencer” on TikTok or a podcast, you’re gravely mistaken. Consider the following facts about Iran…” – Graham Summers, MBA

Iran: The test the US cannot afford to fail – “Why Iran has become America’s defining test” – Fyodor Lukyanov

The STRAIT Jacket – “It suits the president well. Iran flat-out rejected Trump’s “peace plan” today (again) and continued its attacks around the gulf and at Israel where missile interceptors seem to be stretched a little thin now in their ability to shield the public, None of this stopped the president from continuing to say that Iran is eagerly negotiating for peace, and he hopes to have an agreement later this week, to which Iran gave an interesting response: Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you (Trump) negotiating with yourself? That came from Iran’s top spokesperson for its joint military command, Ebrahim Zolfaqari, speaking on Iranian state TV.” – David Haggith

Boots on the Ground as Israel Sabotages Trump’s 15-Point Peace Plan – “The Pentagon confirms the deployment of troops to West Asia. ormer Army lieutenant general Keith Kellogg thinks all the US need do to turn the tide in Iran is take Kharg Island. “We don’t necessarily have to send troops into Iran, but we need to capture Kharg Island. We need to do it the way the Romans did. We need to put legions on the ground to secure the territory,” he said. The Roman legions didn’t face Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Iran will undoubtedly send a legion of drones, missiles, and rockets against any attempt to occupy Kharg, Qeshm, Kish, Hormuz, or the Greater and Lesser Tunb” – Kurt Nimmo

Is a Ground War With Iran Imminent, or Inevitable? – “The answer is an unqualified ‘No.'” – Ken Klippenstein – GOOD POINTS FROM KEN!!!!

Typical Examples of How U.S.-&-Allied ‘News’-Media Deceive their Public – “On March 25th, America’s AP news-agency headlined “Iran rejects US ceasefire plan, issues its own demands as strikes land across the Mideast” and in the course of their 1,000+ word article, said nothing about Iran issuing any demands, or what they were; and, so, that headline was a lie. The headline implied that the U.S. regime had issued a ceasefire plan to Iran and that Iran responded by issuing “its own demands”; and this was implying that there are negotiations between U.S. and Iran. But Iran has repeatedly denied that there are ANY negotiations going on now between itself and the U.S. regime.” – Eric Zuesse

5-point plan – “Yesterday, Iran rejected the US-proposed 15-point plan, instead laying out its own conditions in a 5-point plan; (1) halt the killing of Iranian officials; (2) means to make sure no other war is wage against it; (3) reparations for the war; (4) an end to all hostilities; and (5) Iran’s “exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.” The probability that Washington would accept these terms in exchange for a ceasefire is roughly equal to the likelihood that Tehran would have accepted the original US proposal…zero. Against that backdrop, the clock on Trump’s self‑imposed five‑day deadline continues to tick down. The relative calm in markets suggests some investor confidence that hostilities may eventually wind down, however slim that prospect remains. ” – Molly Schwartz

Report Alleges President Trump’s Daily Military Briefings Are Framed To Only Tell Trump He Is Winning And War In Iran Is Successful – “Is he being deceived, or is he a knowing deceiver, or both?” – The WinePress

Hegseth Declares ‘Pentagon Will Keep Negotiating With Bombs’ – Trump Seeks To Assure War Ending ‘Soon’ – “White House said to be preparing ‘final blow’ if efforts at talks fail..” – Tyler Durden

Pete Hegseth’s Christianity Is NOT The Christianity Of The Bible – “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sees himself as a crusader. He calls himself a Christian. He believes his faith instructs him to “kill the infidels.” And as did the crusaders in the Middle Ages, Hegseth views the “infidels” primarily as the Muslim people. But Hegseth’s “Christian” crusade goes well beyond that. If he were able to annihilate every Muslim on earth, he would then set his sights on anyone who does not share his heretical Christian Nationalist ideology. With a “divine” mission to “kill, kill, kill” (Hegseth’s words), there is no need and no room for rules of engagement. In fact, Hegseth calls the rules of engagement “stupid.” There is no need and no room for Just War. There is no need and no room for international law. There is no need and no room for constitutional law. As Hegseth sees it, his wars are “anointed” by God.” – Chuck Baldwin

Is Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s Governor, owned by the Sinaloa Cartel? Are 25% of Arizona’s Judges Corrupt? – “Several crime syndicates steal our elections: the Chinese, Venezuelans, the British Empire, Luciferians, the Left. In Arizona, it’s the cartels.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Operation Arctic Frost – Kash Patel vs Joe Kent And The FBI – “Two stories, same topic, different versions: If anyone should be investigated based on their bizarre antics, it would be Kash Patel, not Joe Kent. The Rise of Kash Patel from literally nothingism:” – Helena Glass

ICE, ICE MAYBE… We Should Pay the TSA? – “The People Protecting You at 35,000 Feet Are Donating Bodily Fluids Between Shifts Because Congress Thinks Deporting a Dishwasher Is More Important Than Stopping a Bomb” – 🐺The Wise Wolf – MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GET RID OF BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

California’s ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ joins the ‘Train to Nowhere’ – “‘Nowhere’ is a popular destination among CA government officials. We are $13 billion dollars into a high speed train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. As of this moment it goes…nowhere. Not an inch. Not a stitch of high-speed rail has been laid. What was once projected to be a $33 billion dollar project that would be operational by 2020 is now projected to cost about $128 billion, becoming operational in 2032…but only between Merced and Bakersfield.” – Kira Davis

Britain’s energy nightmare is of our own elites’ making – “The Iran War oil shock must bring an end to decades of national self-harm.” – Ftaser Myers

Russian SMO Enters Doldrums Under Shadow of Iran Conflict – “Quietly, it appears, the Russian Spring offensive season has kicked off, though perhaps with a rocky start. With the battlefield updates out of the way, let us discuss the current frontline trends. Many believe the war has entered a kind of doldrums phase, wherein public interest has waned for the time being, and Russia has lost its edge in the progression-narrative it previously maintained. Part of the ‘perception’ of this has to do with the Iranian conflict taking center stage, which coincided with the late winter and rasputitsa period of inactivity.” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

The number of unemployed getting jobless benefits just fell to a 17-month low. It’s not all good news. – “More people are running out of benefits before they find a job” – Jeffry Bartash

Dow slides more than 450 points, pressured by rising oil prices and doubts over Iran negotiations – Sean Conlon and Lisa Kailai Han

What if this is all part of the plan? – “You don’t have to look very hard these days to see widespread criticism of the conflict in Iran. Personally, I see this from a lot of different angles– some positive, some negative. But at the same time I also think there’s a possibility that what’s happening right now might actually BE the plan. Just consider: the US national debt is $39 trillion. Deficits are piling on an additional $2 trillion per year. Social Security is only six years away from running out of money. And the vast majority of United States Congressmen couldn’t possibly care less. It doesn’t make you unpatriotic or unAmerican to understand this simple truth: US government bonds are simply not as attractive as they used to be for foreign investors. The leadership of every foreign country on this planet recognizes that they could wake up tomorrow morning and find out that their Treasury holdings have been frozen. Or they could be sanctioned. Or there could be another tariff escalation. Or their alliance terminated. Or another military strike. They also believe that Congress will continue to do nothing about America’s spiraling debt and budget deficit.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

I’ve Reached Peak Lobotomized Consumer – “Congrats, system. You win. I am living idiocracy.. There’s a very specific kind of financial confession I’ve had to make to myself recently. I see charges pop up on my phone’s home screen on various credit cards all the time. A lot of times they just say “Apple” or “Amazon.” No details. No explanation. Just a clean, confident withdrawal from my account like I’m renting air to breathe from both of these companies. And like a good American lobotomized consumer, I do absolutely nothing about it.” – Quoth the Raven

Walmart To Implement AI Digital Price Labels At Every Location By End Of 2026 – “DSLs allow us to update prices with a few clicks. A price change that used to take an associate two days to update now takes only minutes with the new DSL system.” – The WinePress

From Gas to Silver: The World’s New Force Majeure Era Has Begun – “Qatar’s halted LNG flows reveal the fragility of global trade—and hint at a coming reckoning in metals, where paper promises may soon meet hard reality.” – The Silver Academy

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The price of beef – “The price of beef has been on everyone’s mind lately. According to the USDA, the average price of beef jumped from $8.40 per pound in March to $10.10 by December 2025. A number of recent articles reflect these concerns: We haven’t bought beef in decades since we raise our own, so I wasn’t familiar with what kinds of prices people are facing. So in late February, I stopped at the beef department of our local grocery store … and was appalled.It is for these reasons, among many others, that we’re aiming to have one animal a year in our beef pipeline.” – Patrice Lewis

The Big “Black Dirt” Secret – “How Ancient Charcoal Could Rescue Your Tired Homestead Soil” – Bill Heid

Overlooked Prepping Items You Need to Stock Up on Now – Fergus Mason

How Long Your Backup Power Will Actually Last – “When the power goes out, most people assume their backup system will carry them for a few days. More experienced preppers know better—and they adjust. They don’t run everything continuously. They cycle loads. They prioritize. They stretch capacity.” – denob

How to Prepare for “Energy Lockdowns”- “I’m basing a lot of this on the response to the Covid lockdowns, because they weren’t that long ago. Everyone remembers how bare the shelves got (and how fast it happened).” – Daisy Luther

THE BIG PICTURE

There Is Hope for Your Moment of Change – “It’s called your “and then” moment. If you are going through a time where you feel life is too heavy, too hard, or too much, don’t give up. The Bible contains numerous examples of people who experienced times of testing or preparation just before a single moment changed their lives forever. It’s called the “and then” moment.” – Kate Dreston

Collapse of US Agriculture – “The American Southwest has entered a state of terminal hydrological collapse. The mountain snowpack that sustains the region has failed pushing American agriculture toward a potential disaster in 2026. This high-altitude frozen reservoir is currently at its lowest level in recorded history, signaling an immediate crisis for the 40 million people and the vast industrial complex dependent on the Colorado River. This is a structural shift in the region’s ability to support human life and economic activity. This regional water crisis collides with a global energy and fertilizer shock. Following Operation Epic Fury, Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, trapping 20 percent of the world’s oil, LNG, and approximately one-third of the world’s seaborne fertilizer. The loss of natural gas impacts fertilizer production globally. The loss of 50 percent of the world’s seaborne sulfur hurts phosphate fertilizer production.” – Sarah Connor – AND FOR THOSE WHO MAKE FUN OF PREPPERS, THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE REASONS PEOPLE PREP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mysterious trading patterns follow Trump into war – Zachary Basu – NOTHING TO SEE HERE,FOLKS. MOVE ALONG!!!!!

White House scrambles to downplay shockingly well-timed bets – “Huge bets keep surfacing on prediction platforms right before President Trump jolts the markets with surprise announcements—but the White House insists there is nothing to see here.” – Tom Latchem – AS I SAID, MOVE ALONG. OH, AND WHERE WERE THE ARTICLES ABIUT PELOSI, WHEN HER HUBBY WAS DOING THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is The World Ready For A Global Energy Catastrophe And A Global Food Catastrophe At The Same Time? – Michael Snyder

After the Epstein Files, It’s Become All But Impossible To Believe He Killed Himself – “It’s time to talk about the ultimate Epstein conspiracy theory” – Tom Elliott

Unproven in the Field: Terrana’s RNA “Plant Vaccines” Deserve Serious Scrutiny – “World Economic Forum contributor Noubar Afeyan, the billionaire who co-founded Moderna, has launched a company that plans to use “the language of nature to give plants new instructions.” Called Terrana Biosciences, the company will manipulate the vast ecosystem of self-replicating RNAs from across the plant world, rewriting them with unique instructions to make any desired trait and solve problems at any point in the plant’s lifecycle. Terrana—launched last July by Flagship Pioneering (the folks behind Moderna)—is all about “native” RNA-based tweaks for crops.” – Tracy Beanz & Michelle Edwards

Palantir And Nvidia Partner To Deliver Sovereign AI Operating Systems For Governments And Datacenters – “In a radical co-design of sovereign AI, we are proud to introduce: The Palantir Sovereign AI Operating System Reference Architecture with NVIDIA” – The WinePress

Pfizer to seek FDA approval for Lyme disease vaccine candidate despite trial miss – “Pfizer said not enough people contracted Lyme disease to be confident in the results, but cited “strong efficacy” for its decision to move forward. Partner Valneva has said the Lyme disease shot could reach annual peak sales of more than $1 billion.” – Angelica Peebles

IF I WAS MOSSAD… – “Today, Laura Loomer as acting director of the US Mossad, has warned that Israel will commit a false flag operation in the US imminently with ten times the destruction and casualties as the Twin Towers… Of course, she inserted, Iran for Israel, but we all know who is the false flag maker of coups, destruction and death for the past 60 years. And yet every single US President is shocked by Islamic terrorism. Shocked, I say! IF I was Mossad – what American city and structure would I bomb to realize the most casualties? In March, Larry Silverstein acquired ownership of the US Bank Tower in LA and bought ‘terrorism risk insurance’. World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein “fortuitously” took out terrorism insurance just months before the 9/11. He received $4.557Billion from the insurance. He bought the building for $3.2 billion 2 months before the attack. Appreciation is a bitch.” – Helena Glass – NOTHING TO SEE HERE THOUGH!!!

FOOD CRISIS BEGINS: Supply chain already being affected by US/Israel-Iran war, and guess who’s ready to step in and profit with fake-meat alternative proteins? – “Bill Gates and the state of Israel have a plan to feed the world when WWIII-driven famine hits and people can no longer afford to buy dwindling supplies of meat, fish, etc.” – Leo Hohmann

Exclusive: ICE’s Bounty Hunters – “Leaked database shows how ICE pays off local cops to do their bidding. While ICE agents are temporarily confusing things even more at airports, behind the scenes the Trump administration is paying a posse of local police to carry out its immigration war.” – Ken Klippenstein

NEWS

Chaos, War, and Murder Continue in the Face of a Failed U.S. Empire – “We are in the middle of hell in this now heinous authoritarian country called America. To not see this or act against it, is pure pathetic madness. It is as if everything going on here is like living in a giant national Hollywood soap opera; a cesspool to be sure. The difference of course, is that this mess is real, regardless of the actors pretending to be ‘leaders’ of this totalitarian governing system. Can any even imagine all that is going on at once, while ‘Rome’ burns to the ground?” – Gary D. Barnett

The American Rubicon – “If one sought to identify the quintessential “government” agency, it would be difficult to improve upon “the TSA” as your choice. consider: TSA is a relatively recent institution created a scant 45 days after the 9/11 attack and a month before that ghastly exemplar of DC naming inversion “the Patriot Act” came to be. Prior to TSA, airports ran their own security and “security lines” were basically not a thing. “Thus began the misery of TSA and shoe removal and let me count the ounces of your shampoo and long lines with gropers and annoyances at the front most of whom just seem to be milling around to no good purpose in an overstaffed pantomime of security theater. – El Gato Malo

The Problem Isn’t “Kings”, The Problem Is US Presidents – “The problem is US presidents, not kings. The problem is the US empire, not Trump. The United States needs drastic, revolutionary change, not daytime protests designed to be as inoffensive as possible” – Caitlin Johnstone

Patriotic Purge: The Real Cost of War – “Fighting for corruption and profits. War has never made the lives of the common people any better, with the exception of our fight for independence and the War of 1812, in which our shores were attacked. It has padded the pockets of those who were already rich, and paved the way for new fortunes for those willing to sell their souls. WWI introduced deadly globalism to the world. WWII made the world safe for communism and Zionism.” – Donald Jeffries

Mercy, Forgiveness, Peace – “In Trump’s America, a lot of words have gone out of style. Words like compassion, generosity, forgiveness, grace, mercy, and especially peace. “Punch ‘em when they’re down” Hegseth symbolizes the fake-tough-guy attitude of Trump and crew.” – Bill Astore

Iran Can’t Accept Trump’s Absurd ‘Plan’ I- “f the reported details are correct, the so-called plan includes many of the same unrealistic and maximalist demands that the administration has been making for the last year. – Daniel Larison

Strategic Failure: Trump’s Contradictory Iran Strategy Unravels – “US President Donald Trump appears to be continually backtracking and/or contradicting himself on his various announcements regarding Iran. While his rhetoric attempts to project dominance, the administration’s actions reflect a state of crisis and suggest that it is being forced to back down.” – Robert Inlakesh

The European Union Hates Hungary, Loves Ukraine – “The EU discards members, protects non-members. While the E.U. and NATO fight Russian authoritarianism by protecting Ukrainian authoritarianism, both institutions have remained relatively quiet as member states sustain actual attacks.” – J.B. Shurk

Destruction of America – “Our country stands on the brink of…well, something. And something bad. I won’t pretend to know precisely just how bad, but I know it won’t be mild. What I’m talking about are two different parts of the Democrats’ current play in Congress. In particular, the current shutdown of DHS and the SAVE Act. These two things shouldn’t look like they have anything to do with one another, at least on the surface, but you don’t have to dig too deeply to see where the connection is. Both involve Democrats trying to protect illegal aliens—I hate the term, personally, but I refuse to allow the left to pretend illegals are just immigrants and equate them with those who followed the rules to come here—and both need to be dealt with if we want to step away from the brink.’ – Tom Knighton

Biden White House COVID Stroke Cover-Up Exposed – “A Pattern of Institutional Deception Finally Revealed in Stunning New Email Revelations” – Sayer Ji

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Delusions, Magic Tricks, and Resistance – “Secretary of War Tats Pete Hegseth announced that the Administration will be seeking $200 billion more from American taxpayers to insure that the ongoing imperial catastrophe in the Middle East has the necessary funding to be the Most Colossal Catastrophe in History because Donald Trump and Israel deserve nothing less. BBC is practically salivating at the prospect of 5000 US Marines invading Kharg Island, Iran. OK, let’s look at Kharg Island.The Marines would have to be supplied by sea. Note the Strait of Hormuz to the right. US Navy ships carrying those supplies, not to mention the Marines themselves, would have to run a gauntlet of Iranian missiles. Or they can try supplying them by air, you know, like the French did at Dien Bien Phu. I’m pretty sure the Iranians have heard of that one.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP, GOOD AS USUAL!!!

It Is Being Reported That 1 Million People Have Been Displaced From Lebanon In Just Weeks, As Massive Bombings From IDF Decimate Entire Towns. – Celia Farber

Is Cuba Next? (VIDEO) with Mario Braga – “The Trump Administration is now openly saying it may “take Cuba next”. What does that mean? What would it look like? And why does the US want to do this?” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Where will the winds take Cuba? – Cuba can still be categorized as a socialist system, but it is already far removed from any orthodox, Marxist conception of “communism.” Despite Cuba’s historical resilience, a product of its revolutionary experience, we have already witnessed that, in the long term, embargoes and sanctions can undermine the willpower of leadership and the population. Furthermore, let us remember, the generation in power in Cuba is no longer the revolutionary generation.” – Raphael Machado

Because it’s entirely possible they would have asked for the American Girl Eid a-Fitr Celebration Outfit for their birthdays—the thing comes with a hot pink rhinestone-studded headscarf, for crying out loud,” – Jenna McCarthy – WHILE JENNA COMPLAINS ABOUT AN ISLAMIC OUTFIT THAT CELEBRATES A MUSLIM HOLIDAY, KEEP IN MIND THEY HAVE A ZIONIST OUTFIT FOR HANUKKAH AS WELL FOR THE AMERICAN GIRL DOLL. AND OTHER CULTURAL HOLIDAYS AS WELL. I DON’T RECALL HER COMPLAINING ABOUT THOSE OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Lasting Political Solution To The Afghan-Pakistani War Is Extremely Unlikely – “Neither wants to submit to the other’s polar opposite demands on the three issues central to their security dilemma, Afghanistan is incapable of conquering Pakistan, and Pakistan won’t accept the enormous costs that overthrowing the Taliban and indefinitely occupying Afghanistan would entail.” – Andrew Korybko

America’s Cost Of Living Is Exploding – These Numbers Are Alarming – Peter Reagan

There Goes the Spring Selling Season: Mortgage Rates Jump, Mortgage Applications to Purchase a Home Drop – “Mortgage purchase applications are down by 35% from the same period in 2019 in a housing market that remains frozen.” – Wolf Richter

The Greatest Economic Crash Ever – “The “greatest economy ever,” as the king and all the king’s men (and women) keep calling it, is creating the greatest private-credit crisis ever. A crisis that is increasingly being described as something that could rapidly achieve critical mass like the Great Financial Crisis did keeps blowing up relentlessly. Today, yet another private credit fund that holds investments in many issuers of private credit, jumped on the heap of those that have already been throttling back on how much investors can withdraw from their funds in order to prevent an account-draining rush down the sewers of corporate history. Apollo Global Management became the latest shadow bank to cap redemptions from one its biggest private credit funds” – David Haggith

Why Silver Is Doing What It Shouldn’t – “Really?!? Silver is doing everything wrong. War risk is rising, inflation isn’t dead, and global instability is spreading. Under normal conditions, silver should be ripping higher. Instead, it drops — and that contradiction is the entire story. When markets stop making sense, they start sending signals. Most investors think silver is malfunctioning. It isn’t. This is a deliberate stress test designed to shake out weak conviction and force bad decisions at the worst possible time. The market’s job is to make you quit right before the move.” – Kerry Lutz

Silver’s Violent Liquidation: Is the Bottom In? (VIDEO) with Guru David Morgan – ” After silver hit a massive high of $120 earlier this year, it saw a violent 50% retracement. David explains the mechanics of this “liquidation phase,” the role of the futures market, and why he believes a massive supply-demand squeeze is still on the horizon.” – Financial Survival Network

Because while you’re making your property harder to break into, you may also be sending a different message:” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

The Stealing of America: You’re Not a Citizen—You’re a Revenue Stream for the Power Elite – “You’re not imagining it. Everything costs more. Everything is monitored. Everything feels like it’s designed to take—from your wallet, your time, your freedom. That’s because it is. The government has turned everyday life into a revenue stream—funding endless wars, bloated agencies, surveillance systems, and profit-driven policing… all on your dime. You’re not just paying taxes. You’re paying to be watched. Paying to be policed. Paying to be controlled. This isn’t government. It’s a business model.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

What Will You Do When There Is No Food? – “I wrote and published this article on April 5, 2022, 4 years ago. What I wrote then about what was happening at the time, and what was coming in the future, is exactly what is happening now; only much faster and at a much more advanced pace. While I was looking at this from multiple perspectives, and of course at the time, we were in the midst of the fake ’covid’ hoax, which was being used in much the same way as the so-called Iran war is being used today,” – Gary D. Barnett – LINKED GARY’S ARTICLE THEN AND IT WAS WORTH READING THEN AS IT IS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are You Holding a Weapon of War in Your Hand? Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes, but slightly more complicated. – “And just to make things extra efficient for the cyber intruders, we’ve layered AI on top of all of it, so instead of being forced to painstakingly review footage for weeks, now anyone can just… search it. Instantly. People, patterns, vehicles, routines—pulled up like you’re summoning a restaurant reservation. The issue isn’t that cameras exist. At this point, that ship has sailed, circled back, and installed three more cameras on itself. The issue is that once the system is in place—once everything is recorded, stored, and searchable—you don’t get to decide who ultimately accesses it.” – Jenna McCarthy – YOUR CAMERA SPIES ON YOU, YOUR CAR CAN TOO AND EVEN YOUR APPLIANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Government Knew: Declassified Documents Link Lyme Disease to U.S. Bioweapons Program – “282,800 radioactive ticks released across Virginia. A suppressed second pathogen. A 60-year cover-up. ” – Justin Hart

The Food Supply Chain Is Breaking. Again – “Spring has sprung, which means seeds that were planted in late winter are starting to germinate. They’re hungry and will only grow to their full nutritional potential if they’re well fed. But that, apparently, isn’t happening, as fertilizer supplies are interrupted by yet another pointless Middle East war. The result? Global food shortages that might dwarf the COVID-era Costco-hoarding mess of recent memory. Here’s an overview:” – John Rubino

Iran War Disaster: Planned Energy Lockdowns and Global Famine? – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Who stands to benefit most from US/Israel war on Iran? Globalists waiting in wings with their Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and digital control grid – “Everything from greater restrictions on air and auto travel to clamp downs on speech and press freedoms is on the table as the world grapples with global energy crisis triggered by Trump’s war.” – Leo Hohmann

Energy lockdowns Down Under? Calls for ‘Covid-style’ rules as fuel crisis escalates – “The spectre of lockdowns 2.0 looms as an Australian Premier has called for “Covid-style” rules to manage the escalating fuel crisis sparked by the war in Iran. New South Wales leader Chris Minns — whom Matt Taibbi once called “Australia’s biggest wanker” over his enthusiastic support for hate speech laws — yesterday said a “nationally consistent approach” was needed to implement measures such as fuel rationing and working from home.” – Rebekah Barnett

The Real Epstein Story: Eugenics, Cloning, Genetic Engineering, Transhumanism, and Directed Evolution What if Jeffrey Epstein’s darkest crimes weren’t the ones you’ve heard about—but the ones buried in “science”? We did the research, and the truth is almost unbelievable.- “Jeffrey Epstein was more than just a perverted Deep State operative; he was a critical player in some of the Insiders’ most horrific agendas. Buried within the millions of pages of Epstein documents released so far is evidence of something even darker and more monstrous than the crimes now starting to come to light.” – Alex Newman

We should prepare for another Covid lie – the claim Covid, not the “vaccines,” caused the embalmers’ clots. – Bill Rice Jr.

Were the unvaccinated treated (literally, as well as statistically) differently from the vaccinated? – Jonathan Engler

The United States Of Apathy. Everyone Has Become Dead To Events And Anything Evil Around Them – “There have been so many times, so many days I seriously asked myself and asked God why I am doing all this labor to report on this stuff? To warn the people around me that could care absolutely less and are willfully ignorant to everything? I think that’s been probably the greatest burden and discouraging thing for me is witnessing how it seems no one around us cares.” – The WinePress – I HAVE FELT THIS WAY A TIME OR TWO MYSELF WHILE DOING THIS WEBSITE.

Beware of AI Slop (and not so Slop) Videos targeting your susceptible Brain Vector – “Right now, cute baby and animal videos are Exhibit A of the Mind Experiment” – Sage Hana

NEWS

The End Of The Islamic Republic: Chaos Reigns – “Nobody Knows How This War Will End. Yesterday morning came the news that President Trump and the Iranians were “talking”, leading Trump to postpone any deliberate targeting of the Iranian power grid. Such has been the chaos of Operation Epic Fury over the past few days, whipsawing from the fallout of war, to major escalation, to possibly a chance for peace. How this war ends is not merely unknown, it is completely unknowable.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The US’ Attempted Capture Of Kharg Island Would Be The Ultimate Gamble – “The US will have lost the Third Gulf War if China can still rely on Iran as a reliable low-cost energy supplier while turning the yuan into a global reserve currency that challenges the petrodollar.” – Andrew Korybko

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! The World Got Trumped Again! – “It would appear Iran’s counter-threat hit Trump in the rump like a Shahab-3 missile suppository. As soon as Trump saw that his big threat fell on deaf ears, he found a way to chicken out of his bluff today by telling the nation the US and Iran had held “productive” talks; therefore, he is going to delay destruction of Iran’s power plants for five days to see where the talks go.Iran didn’t let him get away with that face-saving move and called his claim of “productive” talks “fake news.” That didn’t matter, though, because Trump’s assurances had already achieved their purpose. This was a TACO Trade that worked to perfection. ” – David Haggith

TRUMP LIED – 2500 Marines and 3 Warships Heading to Kharg Island For Friday Arrival – ” Trump says he has brokered a cease fire for five days. Israel is bombing Iran’s infrastructure. Meanwhile a rabid Wall Street gyrates with every Trump statement. There are three possible reasons for Trump’s lie:” – Helena Glass

Leaked Document: Iran War Meets Little Brother – “Info about the war is being censored — with the help of private companies” – Ken Klippenstein

Echos of Gallipoli? Hormuz and the Geography of Hubris – “In a naval chokepoint, always bet on the shore over the ship. The lesson for any modern planner looking at Hormuz is not to doubt American firepower, but to respect the defender’s will, the terrain’s tyranny, and the multiplying effect of asymmetric technology. ” – Ashes of Pompeii

Strait Of Hormuz Closure Brings Empire To Brink – “In all, approximately 11% of global maritime trade passes through the Strait annually, accounting for 20% of the world’s total oil supply. Iran’s blockade, coupled with Resistance strikes on refineries throughout the region, will cause lasting chaos in energy markets and impact availability for years to come. Yet, despite a preponderant mainstream focus on the implications of the Strait’s closure for oil and gas, many vital commodities underpinning the operation of major industries worldwide also regularly transit through in substantial quantities. Approximately one third of the world’s seaborne fertilizer supply passes through the Strait every year. Many farmers are already operating without profit, and grave concerns about how long this can be sustained widely proliferate. ” – Kit Klarenberg

Lessons About the Middle East from an Old Globe – “What will the “Middle East” look like in 100 years?” – Bill Astore

Rubio Is Impressive, DeSantis Is Formidable, but Vance Is the Future of the GOP – Alexander Muse

Sohmor, Lebanon: A Legacy of Persecution and Resistance, Now under Sustained Zionist Bombardment – “Sohmor is a town in West Bekaa that has a history of horrific colonial persecution, yet has survived, and continues to resist the Zionist ethnic cleansing agenda in Lebanon.” – Vanessa Beeley

Markwayne Mullin confirmed as DHS secretary with support from two Democrats – Ramsey Touchberry

The Iran war spills over into the U.S. economy: Inflation rises and growth slows – “Mideast conflict spawns fresh uncertainty, S&P finds, just as tariff worries recede – Jeffry Bartash

The Bull Market Is Over — And the MAG-7 Pulled the Trigger – “Put simply, this bull market was driven primarily by the MAG-7. And while much of this performance was driven by actual results, it’s critical to note the impact that investor enthusiasm played, particularly in regard to the MAG-7 build out of AI-infrastructure. As I noted earlier, MAG-7 profits roughly doubled between 2022 and 2025. However, MAG-7 share prices TRIPLED over the same period. This multiple expansion (when investors are willing to pay MORE for growth) was driven by investor enthusiasm for the potential of AI: the MAG-7 were and remain the key players engaged in the AI-infrastructure buildout.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Risk and Privilege – “As systemic risks rise, what matters is the thickness of one’s buffers against bad things happening. Those with wealth, power and privilege have sea walls, the rest of us have crumbling sand castles.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Collapsing COMEX Open Interest: Gold And Silver Price Analysis – “Betraying the notion that it is overrun by “speculators” and exacerbating the daily volatility, total contract open interest in COMEX gold and silver has collapsed to levels not seen in over a decade. What, if anything, does this signal for price in the short term? Of course, for now, the only thing that matters to price is the trend in the geopolitical headlines. As long as war and strife continue to dominate the narrative, precious metal prices look to remain pressured. The narrative is that higher energy costs will lead to inflation, higher interest rates, and a rising U.S. dollar. Those factors combine into a stew that has led to selling in gold and silver nearly every single day since the war began three weeks ago.” – Craig Hemke

$580 million in oil bets placed moments before Trump’s Iran post – FT – “The highly concentrated flurry in Brent and WTI futures could signal possible insider knowledge that triggered a sell-off, the outlet has suggested” -RT

Moody’s cuts rating on private credit fund run by KKR and Future Standard to junk as bad loans grow – “Moody’s said the fund’s underlying asset quality had worsened more than its peers. Non-accrual loans, meaning loans that borrowers have stopped making payments on, climbed to 5.5% of total investments at the end of 2025, one of the highest rates among rated business development companies, according to the report.” – Hugh Son

This version uses spelt flour, mixed grains, apple cider vinegar, and yeast to create a soft, flavorful bread that is baked right in the jar, sealed while hot, then processed again for longer keeping.” – Heidi Hawthorn

Disconnect from the Bullsh*t (VIDEO) – Pat Mac – GOOD ONE. SHORT AND TO THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reclaiming Sanity in an Insane World – “Stop looking for truth in the noise” – Sarah Connor – GOOD READ FROM SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Civilization Is Under Massive Strain, and Every Week The War Goes on, Its Going to Get Worse” – “Things are getting very real very fast. For several reasons, it is fair to say that WWIII has already started, meaning the entire world is being affected, though it’s not just a fighting war. It is an energy war, we have a full-out vaccine war, a money and debt war, and a fertilizer problem, which is looking every day more and more like a food crisis we do not even want to think about.” – Dr.Sircus

Spain’s New “Hate and Polarisation Footprint” Has a Strong Whiff of Totalitarianism – “One of the hallmarks of totalitarian regimes is the conversion of political rulers into unquestionable authorities on truth and falsehood and virtue and vice. Instead of concerning themselves with external actions that palpably disrupt public order or attack basic rights like property and bodily integrity, totalitarian rulers use all the means at their disposal to school citizens on the right and wrong sorts of attitudes, beliefs and speech to adopt in their everyday life. In short, government becomes the policeman not only of public order, but of social and personal morality.” – David Thunder

Chaos, Walkouts, and 95% Failure Rates: The Case Against the TSA Is Now Undeniable – “Why the Democrat Funding Freeze Should Be the TSA’s Last Act. It is the third shutdown in less than six months that has forced the officers who screen airport passengers and luggage to keep working without pay. Each episode has compounded the damage. Each episode has revealed more starkly the fragility baked into this model. And each episode has made the same question more unavoidable: why are we doing this at all? Federalizing screeners was a non-sequitur solution to a wholly different problem. That foundational error has now had twenty-five years to metastasize.” – Alexander Muse

The First Heatwave of the Year… and the Same Old Narrative – “How long term temperature records challenge the climate narrative” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Insane in the membrane – getting ahead of the meningitis fear curve – “Don’t just get in line like you did last time, please. So lots of cases of meningitis in temporal proximity to vaccination and many were linked to other vaccines as well. Considering there are absolutely no studies done on counter-indications with regard to pumping young people full of so many vaccines, this doesn’t come as a surprise to me. The current meningococcal (meningitis) vaccines on the market in the U.S. as of March 22, 2026 are Menveo, MenQuadfi, Bexsero, Trumenba, Penbraya, Penmenvy. The ones most associated with AEs in VAERS is Bexsero and Trumenba.” – Jessica Rose

Epstein COVER-UP Deepens; FBI Officers Raise Alarm – “Bags of SHREDDED DOCUMENTS destroyed at NY jail days after his death” – Steve Watson

NEWS

Workers and Consumers Are the Last of Their Concerns – “Surprise, the Oligarchs Come First, Second, and Last. President Trump’s senior economic adviser said the quiet part out loud: the U.S. economy is fundamentally healthy for the richest, the owners, the oligarchs. The Iran War shouldn’t threaten them; indeed, it may enrich them. But the war will hurt consumers and workers—and that is the last and least of the Trump administration’s concerns. There you have it. Corporations are our new citizens. And you? If you’re lucky, you get to make a choice: consumer, warrior or prisoner. Which will it be?” – Bill Astore

This is complete strategic incoherence. – “We are being led to the abyss by a madman who is pulling ideas out of his ass hour by hour and posting them on social media. Generals and Admirals need to start resigning. I say this as someone who voted for Trump 3X, went to rallies, and drove 11 hours to attend J-6 in person.” – Matt Bracken on X

Trump calls off strikes on Iranian energy – “The US president has ordered the Department of War to postpone attacks on such facilities after “productive” talks with Tehran” -RT

Iran’s state news agency rejects Trump’s claim of ‘constructive conversations’ – “‘There is no direct contact with Trump, not even through intermediaries’ — Fars News citing a source ‘Trump backed off after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia'” – RT on X

Trump’s bombardment of fake news so far is working quite well. But where is it heading? – “Despite all the hype from U.S. media, it is important to stress that Trump has not yet acted. The real worry here is how naïve and frankly stupid Americans are, as one option that Trump has, other than using nuclear weapons in Iran, is creating a false flag attack on U.S. home soil. Not only would that allow him to announce a ’state of war’ which would justify cancelling the midterms, but it would also force EU countries and Japan to ramp up their ’free hugs’ policy to a whole new level. Free hugs are not free, by the way.” – Martin Jay

Trump’s Desperate Search for an “Exit Strategy” – “How does one create an exit strategy from a trap of one’s own making, which has resulted from miscalculation, hubris and blunders, while bringing the world closer to nuclear war, and still put a positive spin on what is recognized by most as a humiliating defeat for oneself? This is the task now facing President Donald Trump, as his decision to ally with the sociopathic war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to start a war against Iran has backfired. ” – Harley Schlanger

Final Escalatory Act Awaits as Iran and Israel Trade ‘Warning Shots’ on Each Other’s Nuke Plants – “For those who thought the war could not “heat up” even more after Israel’s provocation against Iran’s largest gas field, it has apparently entered its final decisive act. After the failure of the main operational phase, wherein the US-Israeli hydra was rebuffed from inflicting any kind of decisive military defeat on Iran, we have come to the logical conclusion, where now threats of existential devastation against critical civilian infrastructure have reached the last escalatory rung.” – Simplicius

Trump: Open Hormuz Strait or Face Bombed Power Plants – “Trump was asked if he had ordered the bombing of desalination plants. He responded by saying Iranians “are among the most evil people ever on earth, they cut babies’ heads off, they chop women in half, what they did, take a look at October 7th… I know nothing about a desalination plant other than to say if they’re complaining about a desalination plant, we complain about the fact that they shouldn’t be chopping babies’ heads off, okay?” There is no evidence Iran had anything to do with the October 7. There is absolutely zero evidence they chopped off the heads of babies. Trump’s off-the-cuff remark is yet another preposterous and evidence-free allegation, but then that’s Trump. Increasingly, he makes statements that are obviously false and often nonsensical. He knows a large number of MAGA cultists will believe what he says, no matter how grotesque and implausible. Iran will launch its now largely unstoppable ballistic missiles at Israel’s civilian infrastructure, and it will do the same in Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait. The entire region will go dark and thirsty if Trump follows through on his threat. Or maybe he will change his mind. I don’t think so. He is surrounded by a Zionist cabal, most importantly his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the Israeli Prime Minister and internationally wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has visited Trump at least four times as of late. He does not possess the ability to break free of pernicious influence.” – Kurt Nimmo

Israel’s Media Propaganda Decimated By TRUTH – “The first persons/media to claim Iran killed 40,000 Iranians were in the US and UK: Netanyahu (speaking thru a medium from Hell) has stated that Iran is targeting European cities and the al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. There is absolutely no logic to the assertion other than the fact that Israel is the king of false flag operations to blame their enemy, aka, October 7th Negev.” – Helena Glass

And it doesn’t matter whether you have 10,000, 10 million, or a billion. It doesn’t matter if your institution goes down, you’re toast. Get out of the system. Because when this happens, you’re not going to have access to your cash. You’re not going to have access to your stocks, your insurance portfolio. You’re not going to have access to anything. I mean, even if you did have access, you’d be down 60, 70, 80, 90%. If if you were able to sell,” – Liberty and Finance

The TACO Trade Is Back — But the Real Story Is 5.2% Inflation Expectations – “President Trump just unveiled another massive TACO. Stocks immediately ignited higher. As I write this, the S&P 500 is up 2.4%, the NASDAQ is up 2.6% and the Russell 2000 is up 3.8%. Stocks had been in VERY serious trouble late last week, so this announcement from the President is a welcome relief! It was also extremely expected. From a technical analysis perspective, the S&P 500 had broken below the all-important 200-day simple moving average. This is THE long-term bull market trendline for stocks. So the odds greatly favored an intervention by the President. ” – Graham Summers, MBA – WAS DELAYING THE BOMBING OF IRAN’S INFRASTRUCTURE JUST A PLOY TO GET THE MARKET BACK UP!!!

China Is Gobbling Up Physical Silver – “While the paper-driven silver price swings all over the place, the Chinese have been gobbling up physical silver. China imported 790 tonnes of silver through the first two months of 2026, with 470 tonnes flowing into the country in February alone. This is happening in a silver market that is already short on metal.” – Mike Maharrey

They focus on numbers first, like how many rounds of 9mm, how many boxes of 5.56 or maybe a few hundred shells for a shotgun. It sounds reasonable on paper, but it ignores the one factor that actually determines how much ammunition you need: what you expect to use it for. In a real emergency, ammunition is not just about defense. It becomes a tool with multiple roles. It protects you, feeds you, trains you, and in some situations, it even becomes a form of currency.” – Bob Rodgers -GOOD ADVICE FROM BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

God’s Choices Are God’s Justice – “We know that consequence comes for us all. All that we do rebounds back on us, for better or for worse. Anyone who has accumulated any life experience at all can surely attest to the truth of this. If we have done well, if we have worked to obey God’s Law and to be an instrument of His Will, we are promised good things in the hereafter.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The FBI Knows Where You Go – “I’ve written several columns about how new and late model vehicles equipped with what’s styled “connectivity” – the capability to send and receive data, like a smartphone and not necessarily with your knowledge or consent – are being used to create real-tme records of your comings and goings and many other things besides. Well, now we know it’s not just the corporatocracy – the vehicle manufacturers, the insurance mafia, etc. – that’s mining your data. It is also the FBI. “The FBI is buying up information that can be used to track people’s movement and location history,” according to Politico, which quoted FBI Director Kash Patel as follows: “We do purchase commercially available information that’s consistent with the Constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us,” Patel said during testimony before Congress last week.” – Eric Peters

The Enemy Is Not Each Other – “On Trauma, Scapegoats, and the Machinery of Division. The idea of ‘antisemitism’ doesn’t randomly get reinserted into the national conversation – it gets reintroduced when it’s needed for something bigger. As I grew older, I came to understand that nearly every group on this planet carries their own trauma. Persecution, displacement, violence, loss is the story of history across continents, races, and other creeds. And those in power – regardless of their own background – have become masters at weaponizing that pain. They’ve figured out the formula: take legitimate grievances, amplify them through media and institutional messaging, then channel that energy toward each other instead of toward the systems that actually benefit from our division.” – Joshua Stylman – VERY GOOD READ FROM JOSHUA!!!

How to Make America FEEL Great Again – “An Introduction to the Patron-Betrayal-Myth-Destruction Cycle that Brought Down Every Republic in History. There is a particular species of man that history keeps breeding, the way a swamp keeps breeding mosquitoes — simply because the conditions are irresistible. He arrives at the tail end of a republic, when the institutions have grown fat and slow and the citizens have grown bored of the tedious work of self-governance. He is magnetic. He is confident. He is, above all else, a storyteller. And by the time the republic realizes what he is, it is already too late, because the people have fallen in love — with the myth he has built around himself like a cathedral built around a corpse. To understand how we arrived at this present American moment — this gaudy, rolling catastrophe dressed up in red hats and executive orders — one must go back, as all useful things require, to the French Revolution. Specifically, to a man most people have either never heard of or have confused with a brand of sparkling water: Maximilien Robespierre.” – A Lily Bit

Canada Pushes Sweeping Surveillance Bill Forcing Mass Collection of All Citizens’ Data – “Canada’s Liberal government is facing backlash after introducing a sweeping surveillance proposal that would force companies to collect and store sensitive data on every Canadian, regardless of whether they are suspected of any crime. Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act (2026), mandates that electronic service providers retain user metadata for up to one year, making it accessible to law enforcement and intelligence agencies with a warrant. The metadata includes location data, device information, and other digital identifiers.” – Frank Bergman

Seeing Trump Clearly – “The Calculated Plan Behind the Iran War, Venezuela, and Greater Israel. What if Trump’s apparently chaotic thought processes and intuitive decision making are all a blind, a charade? What if we are really witnessing, in the Middle East and more widely, a carefully constructed plan with very definite objectives? Has Trump in fact “planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway”, while flinging the chaff of apparent chaos? I realise that this is not intuitive, but bear with me… Again, the narrative is being spun that Trump did not foresee the closure of the Strait by Iran. That is plainly a nonsense – every commentary on a potential Iran war for half a century has focused on the Strait of Hormuz. The only possible explanation is that Trump does not mind the closure. While, as Trump says, the United States does not need the oil that comes through the Strait, the apparent weakness in his case is that higher oil prices are universal and hit Trump’s support, particularly as Americans fill their gas tanks. But to concentrate on this is to make the fundamental error of imagining that Trump cares about what is good for the American people. He does not. He cares about what is good for Donald J. Trump and his immediate circle.” – Craig Murray – VERY INTERESTING ANALYSIS FROM CRAIG. MAYBE TRUMP ISN’T AS DUMB AS HE ACTS, EVEN THOUGH HE’S AN IDIOT!!!!!!

Robert Mueller Dies at Age 81, Trump ‘Glad He’s Dead’ – “Just the facts, none of the spin.” – Liberty Nation Authors

If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP – Trump on Truth Social

Trump’s threat of more strikes met with promise of retaliation by Iran – “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was noncommittal when asked about Trump’s threats to strike Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t opened, and whether Israel would join. “I think President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. And whatever we do we do together and as far as possible in confidence,” Netanyahu Israeli prime minister said Sunday.” – Michael Ramsey

Attacking Iran’s Power Plants Would Be Despicable – “U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not fully reopen the Strait ‌of Hormuz within 48 hours, a dramatic escalation that came barely a day after he talked about “winding down” the war. Threatening to damage or destroy power generation for the entire country is outrageous. If the U.S. does this, it will be inflicting collective punishment on the civilian population on a massive scale.” – Daniel Larison

Far From the Madding Crowd Peace and quiet at the end of the world… – “Call it what you will, dear reader… but when the words “obliteration,” “irreversible destruction” and “oil blockade” start popping up in headlines about the world’s key oil chokepoint, it’s generally not a positive sign for peace and prosperity…” – Joel Bowman

Putin’s Top Aide Believes That The Third Gulf War Might Destabilize Afro-Eurasia For Years – “The “negative impacts on the agro-industrial complex in Asia, Africa, and Europe” can lead to widespread starvation, while “the shutdown of energy-intensive industries in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, and the European Union” can lead to widespread unemployment, with both sparking unrest.” – Andrew Korybko

Cuba says its military is prepared as Trump’s threats multiply – “A senior Cuban official said the country is preparing for a possible military assault as President Donald Trump increases economic pressure on the government in Havana and suggests it could be the next US target after Venezuela and Iran.” – Tony Czuczka

The Active Civil War – “If one wants to get to the heart of my political ideology, it’s not conservativism, or republicanism, it’s individual rights above the state. The battle to secure individual privacy rights is the fight that should be waged across the US. If I were to recognize a war that should be fought, that is the war I would choose, not Iran, not Ukraine, not Gaza” – T.L. Davis

Sen. John Kennedy Goes Full Beast Mode on Cowardly Colleague: ‘By God, Stand Up and Face the Unpaid!’ – “Senator Kennedy is a man with a well-developed sense of propriety, which has led him to propose that, as long as some members of the Senate (Democrats) are blocking legislation that would get Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees paid, then the Senate shouldn’t get paid, either. Seems only fair, yes? On Sunday, while the matter was being debated, and while Senator Kennedy had the floor, he moved for a motion to cut off every Senator’s pay until TSA was getting paid. Here’s where things went south. Next, there was an objection, apparently from Democrat Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) – who then fled the chamber, leaving the proceedings and Senator Kennedy baffled. That’s when Senator Kennedy went beast mode, “If a member of this body disagrees with what I’m doing, then BY GOD they ought to come DOWN HERE and stand up in front of the United States Senate, and stand up in front of the American people, and stand up in front of God, and stand up in front of country, and STAND UP in front of ALL these GOOD PEOPLE that aren’t being paid and say: ‘HERE’S WHY.'” “Maybe we need to change the Senate rules, Mr. President!”” – Ward Clark

Mamdani’s Tax Fantasy Is Already Failing Somewhere Else – “If the rich are not paying enough, the definition of rich quietly expands until it includes whoever is still around. In 2023, the first year the surtax took effect, Massachusetts experienced a net outflow of $4.2 billion in adjusted gross income. That number increased eight percent from the prior year. This was not driven by a sudden collapse in population or some unrelated shock. It reflects a steady and measurable movement of income and the people who earn it out of the state.” – Quoth the Raven

$100 Oil, Weak Metals, and War: The System Is Under Pressure (VIDEO) – “Despite rising geopolitical risk, gold and silver moved sharply lower and remained volatile throughout the week. This is largely due to a strong dollar and rising interest rates, which are currently outweighing the traditional safe-haven demand for metals. Morgan emphasizes that this is typical in the early stages of a crisis, where liquidity and capital flows favor the dollar before eventually shifting back toward hard assets.” – David Morgan

COMEX PANIC: Clearing House Quietly Becomes Buyer of Last Resort as Silver Delivery Pressure Explodes – “March 19, 2026, may go down as the day silver’s fault lines became too visible to ignore. The CME’s own house account — the clearinghouse itself — just stopped 114 out of 138 delivery notices for the March silver contract. That’s 570,000 ounces, or roughly 82% of the day’s entire delivery flow, absorbed by the exchange to keep the system from seizing up. This isn’t “routine logistics.” It’s the market’s plumbing fraying under real physical pressure. When the house account becomes the buyer of last resort, it means the shorts can’t deliver — full stop. It’s the institutional equivalent of a fire alarm, and it’s blaring loud.” – The Silver Academy

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I think I know now what’s making me sad
It’s a yearnin’ for my own back yard
I realize maybe I was wrong to leave
Better swallow up my silly country pride

Going home, running home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Going home, and I’m running home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I was born

When the weather’s better and the rails unfreeze
And the wind don’t whistle ’round my knees
I’ll put on my weddin’ suit and catch the evening train
I’ll be home before the milk’s upon the door

Going home, running home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Going home, and I’m running home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I was born

But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong
Should I stray to the house on the hill
Let it be known that my intentions were good
I’d be singing in my alley if I could

And if I’m called away and it’s my turn to go
Should the blood run cold in my veins
Just one favor I’ll be asking of you
Don’t bury me here, it’s too cold
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, won’t you carry me home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from

Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from

THE BIG PICTURE

Is a Golden Age for Russia About to Dawn? – “It’s THE country in the right place with the right leader at the right time. Trump’s treasonous cuckery to Israel led to an illegal war with Iran, which of course shut down 20% of the world’s oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz. Europe, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and more all face potential disaster, but there is one oil-exporting nation which can supply them with all that they need without fear of the Empire mucking things up, and that’s Russia.” – Ohio Barbarian

Palantir Is Leading a New Age of Empire – “Palantir has merged American empire, Zionist military infrastructure, surveillance capitalism, and technofascist ideology into a single architecture of control. A former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public statement, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, and many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation. He is not alone.” – Guy Christensen

Palantir’s Peter Thiel Takes His Deranged Antichrist Lectures To The Vatican – “His monologues in Rome were described by the Associated Press as “One of the hottest tickets in the Vatican’s backyard these days is for a four-lecture series on the Antichrist.’” – The WinePress

Pentagon to adopt Palantir AI as core US military system, memo says – “Palantir (PLTR)’s Maven artificial intelligence system will become an official program of record, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon leaders, a move that locks in long-term use of Palantir’s weapons-targeting ‌technology across the U.S. military. Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military, which has carried out thousands of targeted strikes against Iran over the last three weeks.” – David Jeans – GUESS WE CAN OFFICIALLY BLAME PALANTIR FOR THE STRIKE ON THE IRANIAN GIRL’S SCHOOL SINCE THE MILITARY ALREADY USES IT’S MAVEN SOFTWARE FOR TARGETING!!!!!!!!!!!

Wireless Radiation Limits at Least 200 Times Too High to Protect Against Cancer Risks – “Wireless radiation safety limits are at least 200 times too high to protect people from cancer risks, according to a study published March 14 in Environmental Health. Current limits are also 8 to 24 times too high to protect against male reproductive harm, including decreased sperm count, sperm vitality and testosterone levels, the scientists concluded.” – Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

The Epstein Files: A Peek Behind the Dark Curtain, Pt. 3 – “Distracted but not confused. When we last left our possibly dead math teacher without a college degree turned billionaire sex trafficker, we had learned several disquieting things. Like how the elite apparently like to eat other humans. Pedophiles are bad enough, but cannibal pedophiles? And we saw how Jeffrey Epstein was intimate even with the Pope. Now that the Trumpenstein administration has obeyed its marching orders from the possibly dead Bibi Netanyahu, and entangled us in a war that cannot be anything other than an unmitigated disaster, most of the populace has been distracted from all those secret code words for sex with minors. It’s obvious that leading Zionists freely deploy the pearl of wisdom found in one of Epstein’s emails, where he proclaimed “The goyim exist only to serve us.” Well, who can argue with him? The only reason the goys in the Trump White House did something so counterproductive to the interests of their own country is because they clearly exist only to serve their Israeli masters.” – Donald Jeffries

World’s largest gas field hit: How close is a global energy crisis? – “Israel’s recent strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field and Tehran’s retaliation on key energy infrastructure in several Gulf countries is more than just another escalation of the war roiling the Middle East. What began as a campaign of decapitation strikes and base‑to‑base missile exchanges has escalated into dueling attacks on energy infrastructure that risks igniting a major energy crisis globally whose effects could reverberate for years.” – RT

MURDER INC. – “The ‘Great America’ that President Trump has been promising the public looks too often more like Al Capone’s gangster-ridden Chicago of the 1920’s – except even more violent. At least a senior member of Trump’s government has come out and spoken the truth: The move comes weeks into active strikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites, leadership, and infrastructure, with Iranian retaliation underway and global oil markets feeling the strain. So far, US and Israeli strikes, guided by America’s galaxy of formidable intelligence satellites that blanket the Mideast, have truly managed to decapitate Iran’s technical, military and political leadership. The US was following Israel’s well proven tactic of assassinating enemy leaders. These were not the days of Waterloo… Not so in the Mideast where Israel follows Stalin’s famed, dictum ‘no man, no problem.’ Israel has relentlessly killed much of the Palestinian leadership, from Yasser Arafat down, often leaving only marginal figures in charge. Now it’s Iran’s turn for what Israel’s military calls ‘mowing the lawn.’” – Eric Margolis

Understanding investing and how to ride out bad markets. – “A stock is a claim on the assets and cash flows of a company. If you realize that, then (assuming those things remain sound) when the price of the stock declines, it becomes more attractive for you to buy. that is the professional/serious view of investing. When it goes “on sale” you see it as more attractive to purchase. (note that we’re talking about “investing” here, not trading) most “retail” investors claim to know this, but don’t. their mindset is mostly self-deception. Here’s why: they are not actually buying a claim on a company, They are buying a stock price. It’s really that simple and everything else emerges from that.” – El Gato Malo

The Coming Crisis No One Is Ready For: When Truth Becomes Optional – “Not long ago, people said seeing is believing. A photograph meant something. A video clip carried the weight of proof. When a camera captured an event, most folks assumed it showed something real that had actually happened. But those days are fading fast. Artificial intelligence can now mimic human voices, fabricate lifelike images, and generate videos so convincing they can fool trained eyes. A person can “say” something they never said. A face can “appear” in a place it never was. A recording can show an event that never occurred. In other words, reality itself can now be manufactured with the click of a mouse. The deeper threat is that we’re entering an era where events themselves can be invented out of thin air. The lie no longer needs a seed of truth to grow.” – Bill Heid

There are dozens of trace minerals that are key for various functions of your plants growth, development, reproduction, and self defence.” – Hobbit Farmer
