Nothing New Under The Sun 2016

 

THE BIG PICTURE

Are You Ready for the “Rogue AI” Psy-Op? – “The AIs are breaking free, that’s the story. It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their “agents” had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an “unprecedented cyber attack”. The breaches signal that AI’s expanding capabilities are already fueling the security threat experts long feared. Everybody got that? It goes on and on. Whatever happens, there will be loud calls to “regulate AI”, but what that might mean in real terms I couldn’t say at this point. To be clear though, if and/or when the official solutions to made-up problem #4987 are finally rolled out, they will have nothing at all do with controlling AI, and everything to do with controlling you.” – Kit Knightly

“Health Inc” – The World’s Largest Conglomerate Scam – ““Health Inc” – is a new term coined for the conglomerate combined health sector which is the aggregated global health economy: public and private hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals, They all work hand in hand and in a well-coordinated fashion, so as to create one single sector with an enormous political weight and lobbying power. Health Inc is the largest single sector in advanced economies by GDP share, exceeding manufacturing, finance, and defense combined. This alone gives the sector an enormous power, especially in the United States where Health Inc. controls roughly a fifth of the economy.” – Peter Koenig

The Philosophy of Self-Governance – “In all of nature, man is the only living thing that purposely seeks rule and abandons self-governance. I see this as entirely foreign, and completely unnatural. This desire to be ruled, to be coddled, to be told how to act, regulated, and restricted is unique to the human animal. Why is it that the only entity known that is supposedly intellectually superior and has the ability to reason, surrenders independence in favor of dominance by a master? Why is self-responsibility forsaken for a life bound by slavery? Why do people voluntarily vote to choose their commanding ruler, king, and court?” – Gary D. Barnett

WHO FUNDS OUR SMART CITIES, 15 MINUTE CITIES, C40 CITIES: CLIMATE WORKS. Mandami is an operator for c40 like his predecessor mayors. A cult pawn. – “Here’s your control mesh of funders and surveillance pushers.” – LawyerLisa  – QUITE THE LIST FROM LISA!!!!!

“Who Will Rid Me of This Meddlesome Doctor?” – “Fifteen weeks of Anthony Fauci’s newly unredacted email, tracing the campaign to remove Scott Atlas from the White House – from “we should sit down with Scott” in August to “this guy is killing people” – Justin Hart

Flock Cameras are a Systemic Manifestation of Severe Psychopathic Authoritarianism – “It is simply amazing how Republicans and Democrats can all work together, or at least look the other way, while a prison-style surveillance grid is being deployed along our roadways from sea to shining sea.” – Joseph Sansone

Is Remigration Doomed to Fail? – “Why Canadians need to pay attention to Europe’s policies on mass immigration right now.” – Karla Treadway

Gates Foundation Funds First-Ever Creation of 16 Synthetic Viruses Using AI – “For the first time ever, scientists have used artificial intelligence to design complete viral genomes that were physically synthesized and turned into 16 new functional viruses capable of replicating.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH.

Pillagers Vs Producers: There’s Only Two Ways To Save The Western World – “It’s a scene we have witnessed over and over again in the past several years. The multiculturalists set the wheels in motion for a migrant rush into Europe then pretend to be shocked when it happens. They engineer these events by breaking the cardinal rule of western civilization – Never leave the gates open, because the barbarians will see this as an invitation to pillage. Like hyenas circling a wounded animal, they will be uncontrollably drawn to the smell of an easy meal.” – Brandon Smith

The Dirty Turtle Surfaces . . . – “A statement has just been released to the effect that the Old Dirty Turtle has been discharged and is headed home. We are expected to believe this. What he “said” was actually a press release. In other words, someone else wrote those words. No actual word from the Dirty Old Turtle himself. Note – again – that no one credible heard him say these words. We are told he said them, duly reported by the stenography pool. What’s the game here?” – Eric Peters

We Need To Talk About Tucker (VIDEO) – “Last weekend, seven people ate dinner in Maine and announced a political movement. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted the photograph, Tucker Carlson promoted it, and a few days later Carlson presented a ten-point manifesto for an America that would be fair, sovereign, beautiful, healthy, prosperous, religious, honest and united. This all moved with the brisk efficiency of people who had already selected a font. The group called itself America First for everyone; right, left and center… although its publicly identified principals came almost entirely from the nationalist right, and there is no verified party organization, ballot operation or membership structure behind it yet. For now, what exists is a photograph, a broadcast, a set of adjectives and an audience large enough to make those things feel like an institution. ” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Iran Has Trump Right Where it Wants him and Is Turning up the Heat! – “Stocks wilt, oil gets hotter, and the president burns with rage at his chief warlord, then gets laid out flat.” – David Haggith

New York Groceries go Red – “Zohran’s Cheap Eats The announcement came in a press conference earlier this week, where Comrade Mamdani promised 30% discounts for “essential products” at his new city-run grocery stores. The problem, of course, is grocery is a razor-thin industry, sporting profit margins of roughly 2%. And that’s with competent management, which New York City is decidedly not famous for. So even if the socialists somehow manage to run a grocery as efficiently as Aldi or Walmart, the city will be losing an ungodly amount of money — at least 28 cents on the dollar.” – Peter St Onge

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have signed a key defense agreement – “The so-called “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement” between the three Sunni Muslim-majority states brings together oil-rich Saudi Arabia and nuclear power Pakistan as well as Turkey, which has NATO’s second-largest army and a rapidly growing defense industry. It would increase cooperation and deterrence at a time of increased regional uncertainty and threats from the war in Iran.” – Suzan Fraser and Munir Ahmed  – LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS TIRED OF THE U.S. RUNNING THE SHOW!!!

Collapsing Empire: US Creates New African Psyops Unit – “The Pentagon has activated a new psychological operations unit targeting Africa, tasked with “expanding the military’s ability to influence foreign audiences” across the continent. The heavily hyped launch occurs against a backdrop of dramatically and irreversibly waning Western influence and power in every sphere across the continent.” – Kit Klarenberg

What’s Behind Putin’s Decision To Mildly “Escalate To De-Escalate” With Ukraine? – Andrew Korybko

Russia could attack Nato within weeks, US intelligence warns – “Washington says Putin may attempt to test alliance’s resolve at some point between this autumn and 2029. The American assessment changed earlier this year, US officials said, as the Russian president found himself under increasing pressure and unable to secure a victory over Kyiv and the West.” – Joe Barnes and Emily Smith – SOUNDS LIKE MORE CONJECTURE FROM THE WSJ.

Precious Metals Sector Major New Uptrend Alert – “Various factors are converging, which suggest that the Precious Metals sector is about to break out into a major new uptrend, and it looks like we have waited long enough. One factor that has deterred us somewhat has been the lurking threat of a market crash or severe downturn in the market generally, but it looks like they are going to continue to stave this off with massive money creation, with the latest madcap idea being to gift Iran US$300 million for reconstruction if it does what they want it to. Of course it doesn’t have to and won’t, but it gives you an idea of how desperate they are to create money out of thin air.” – Clive Maund

Here are three key takeaways from the disappointing July jobs report – Jeff Cox

The Blue-Collar Path – “Today’s college graduates are being ejected into the real world and finding a cold, harsh reality. The job market stinks. New York Fed data shows that 42% of recent college grads are currently in a job that doesn’t require a degree. Let’s face it. The value of most college degrees is plummeting. Especially liberal arts. The snowball’s rolling down the hill, gathering mass and speed. Blue-collar pay will hold up far better than most “knowledge” jobs over the next few decades.” – Adam Sharp

Gold and silver begin their move – “Investors increasingly suspect that financial markets might be radically mispriced and nowhere is this truer than for precious metals. In summary, while retail investors became increasingly despondent and many chartists with them, the big money has been stacking. And now, open interest appears to be recovering in a tight market. What is true of gold is also true for silver:” – Alasdair Macleod

THE BIG PICTURE

It’s no coincidence the world is on fire with wars, healthcare has become unaffordable or of poor quality, and famine lurks just around the corner – “New white paper by group of Western scholars calls for cutting the world’s population by at least half, from 8 billion down to 4 billion or less. The pieces are falling into place for that to happen. The paper never says exactly how the world should go about reducing the population by such drastic amounts.” – Leo Hohmann – IT’S ALL OUT iN THE OPEN. THEY EVEN PUBLISH IT.

Canada Is Collateral Damage in America’s War ( with a video link) – “But the “elbows up” crowd thinks its just about tariffs…. The algorithm is training us to hate each other. Jason talks about the Christian revival he’s watching unfold globally, his own return to faith three years ago, and why he thinks the people running this system have badly overestimated themselves. “They’ve fooled themselves into believing that they are bigger and more powerful than God,” he says. “They’re gonna find out in a dramatic way that they are not even close.”” – Karla Treadway

THE WATER WARS HAVE BEGUN – “The World Economic Forum has openly proclaimed 2026 the “Year of Water” and has introduced what it calls “Blue Davos,” bringing freshwater, ocean policy, food security, investment, and the so-called blue economy together beneath one institutional umbrella.

The Pedophile Protector-In-Chief Called Out On FOX News – “The high-water mark of any civilized society is the determination of a people to value, love and protect their children. Just recently, a FOX News anchor slipped up and invited a Florida State Senate candidate on his program to talk about the abuse and exploitation of children as it relates to immigration. (Obviously, as soon as the anchor heard what the candidate had to say, he ended the interview posthaste.) Here is the brief exchange: Anchor Trace Gallagher: What is the number that is fine with you? Is there a benchmark? Is it fine? How many children can be raped and it’s fine if you’re in relation to the immigration community? Oliver Larkin: If we’re going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president Donald Trump accountable and all those that have been implicated by the Epstein files that the Department of Justice is still not leaking, and they’ve sent AIPAC after Thomas Massie for having the temerity to hold accountable the pedophiles that are in control of our government. Gallagher: Thank you. We appreciate your time very much. OUCH! That wasn’t supposed to happen. Donald Trump was called exactly what he is on the news network most controlled by Trump and the Epstein Class: FOX News. You see how quickly that conversation ended.” – Chuck Baldwin

Ceuta 2.0: armies march on their stomachs and incentives matter – “This is the whole issue in a nutshell. They came with no food, no water, no plan, betting that the sympathy and generosity of the west would provide all these things for them if they simply looked needy enough. Probably they imagined Go Fund Me’s and humanitarian air drops once the images of their newfound squalor emerged. Probably they imagined food and tents as tribute for not rioting and robbing the town. So long as this incentive exists, they will come. And guess fricking what? Yup, The Red Cross is now in town distributing food to thousands of illegal invaders, giving out blankets, you name it. It’s like watching Nishapur hand out mare’s milk to the mongols.

This actually just happened in Michigan’s Senate primary — with one detail glaringly absent. Basically the entire Democratic Party leadership supported Haley Stevens,” – Ken Klippenstein

Elizabeth Warren Gets Reality Check Over Her Inability to Understand How Rent Works – “The Democrats are going to make the housing issue worse by driving landlords out of business. Sure, that means the government might take over your apartment building but, as people will quickly learn, there’s no bigger slumlord than the government. It’s a basic issue of supply and demand. If there are few apartments but lots of renters, rents will go up. Making it hard to build housing or allowing millions of illegal aliens into our nation reduces the supply and increases the demand. ” – Amy Curtis  – AND DON’T FORGET THE 20% PROPERTY TAX INCREASES THAT MOST DEMOCATIC STATES HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

Plant an Edible Forest Garden – “I’m convinced that imitating natural systems is fundamental to any successful effort to raise food. The idea behind forest gardening is that natural forests produce an abundance of food. People the world over have harvested food from the forest, reaping where they did not sow.

The Massacres are Coming – “We are on a dangerous path. Right wing governments scare people into submitting to fascism. Whether it’s immigrants, Antifa, or communism, they create a loosely defined boogeyman lurking around the corner ready to steal your wealth and freedom. Worse, they tell you these people are figuratively and literally raping and pillaging their way across your land. While the world is experiencing a variety of threats, there is no boogeyman. These narratives are created to deflect your attention from the real problems, pitting the masses against each other or against outsiders. History shows us this works well to divert attention away from true socio-economic and resource problems towards scapegoats.” – Sarah Connor

Then Bari Weiss Fired the Reporter and Buried the Tape To Cover For Trump. – “A billion dollars, three banks, a Senate report nobody in power wants you to read, and a 60 Minutes segment that mysteriously died the moment Bari Weiss got the keys to CBS News. JPMorgan Chase banked Epstein from 1998 to 2013. He and his associates held 134 separate accounts. More than $1 billion moved through them. Epstein wasn’t some client who slipped through the cracks. He was in an elite internal tier JPMorgan literally nicknamed the “Wall of Cash.” Decisions about keeping him were made by executives reporting directly to Jamie Dimon. The bank designated him high-risk in 2008 — the year he was convicted — and kept him for five more years anyway. When JPMorgan finally cut him loose in 2013, did it tell the Treasury Department what it had seen, like federal law requires? No. It waited until 2019” – Dean Blundell

America Reaps What Trump Sows: The Price of Policing the Globe – “What goes around comes around. That is the terrible law of blowback. When the United States bombs another country, threatens its government, kills its people, occupies its territory or attempts to dictate its future, the consequences do not remain safely contained thousands of miles away. They come home. They come home in flag-draped coffins and shattered military families. They come home in retaliatory attacks on American bases and embassies. They come home through terrorist plots, cyber sabotage, disrupted shipping lanes, higher energy prices, depleted weapons stockpiles, and trillions of dollars in debt.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Reflections From the Heart of the Empire: The Old Wisdoms Look Better and Better – “And, in a truly astonishing coincidence, US officials said progress was being made in talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, of course, continues to maintain that they are not negotiating with the Trump Administration because they are all proven liars. Diesel fuel prices are at least $5/gallon throughout the US and over $6 on the West Coast. Things would be much, much worse if China had not reduced its oil imports by half. Because they could, somehow, and because the Chinese don’t want to wreck the global economy, and because China is China. There’s a good English term for that, one that I don’t often associate with governments anymore…let’s see, oh yes…responsible governance, that’s it. But only part of it.

It is not difficult, these days, to see the neo-communist flipside of “Democratic Socialists”—once they find power. Indeed, the more the ossified Democratic Party claims that its growing cadre of socialist renegades are not really socialists, the more they act like—and even appear comfortable being called—communists.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Iran Set To Emerge With More Hormuz Leverage Than Before The War Under Draft US-Oman Deal – “President Trump said late Tuesday that talks with Iran are “moving along very nicely” – in a highly fluid and ambiguous situation where it appears the two sides are only interacting indirectly at best.

Trump Sets Tariffs On 60 Countries To Blackmail China For Rare Earths – “THE Tariff Game: Most recently, Trump rebated a number of companies Billions of dollars in Tariff Rebates. The total amount so far is $81 Billion in rebates to such affected companies as Ford, Walmart, Amazon, UPS, Fedex, Costco, etc… The People who actually absorbed the tariffs via higher prices?

Top Bulk 223 Ammo Options for AR-15 Shooters – “Most AR-15 rifles use .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO ammunition. These cartridges have very similar outside dimensions. However, they are not completely interchangeable in every rifle. Their chamber designs and pressure standards have important differences. A rifle marked .223 Remington should use .223 ammunition unless its manufacturer states otherwise. Do not assume 5.56 NATO rounds are safe because they fit inside the magazine. An AR-15 marked 5.56 NATO can generally fire both cartridge types. Still, you should confirm this information inside the owner’s manual.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

They Really Don’t Care – “This might not apply to all sheep-types, but many of the ones I have encountered simply do not care. This could be the reason we can’t seem to get through to them with the facts we are constantly shoving down their throats. Of course, the ones I’ve talked to may just be saying they don’t care to shut me up, but I really don’t think so. They seem pretty sincere. How could they not care? Now, that is the $64,000 question. People, in general, do not care about things they do not see directly affecting them. They should, but they don’t. People these days, at least, don’t seem very skilled at discerning things that will—if not cared about—eventually bite them in the ass. I think people used to be better at determining such things.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

A Lexicon of Evil Bastards—And Deniers Of Information – “t’s the chicken and egg thing, what came first? And can’t you have one without the other. It’s incomprehensible what Trump is doing to the US and to the world, but so far he’s not dragging the American public along by force, so what is allowing for this madness? Is Trump a force for good? No, he’s not, but he is a force. And though not as apparent as it soon will be, he is becoming increasing desperate. ” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

The United States of Israel – “If Section 219/1217of the NDAA becomes law, we will have surrendered our Constitutional Republic to the Zionists. It will literally be the end of our country as we know it. This new EA would end direct Congressional oversight with supervision by the Secretary of Defense. There would be no Congressional confirmation or ability for removal of an executive agent by Congress. In short, it is the surrendering of the constitutional duties of Congress to a politically appointment agent of the Executive branch of government. This is not what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.” – Scott Ritter  – AS MOST OF AMERICA SLEEPS OR SHOULD I SAY “SHEEPS”🐑, THIS “BS” IS HAPPENING!!!!!

DATA CENTERS ARE BIOWEAPONS & QUANTUM THE TIMEBOMB (VIDEO) – “The data centers were never really about your electric bill. They were never really about the environment either.

President Elizondo Comacho – “The Fuhrer – whoops, president – also says (once again) that the “deal” must encompass the “Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” How many times has he said the same thing already? How many times have the Iranians said that they do not agree? Why does the Fuhrer – er, the president – continue to say the same thing over and over and over? In between pauses and resumptions and threats of resumptions? Because it keeps everyone on edge – and distracted. That is the true purpose of this stupid, evil war – which is more evil than stupid. Ordinary people have their heads on a swivel. They get up in the morning and wonder what insanity has propagated while they slept. Note that the Epstein Stuff has all-but-gone away. A treasonous honeypot operation involving the intelligence apparatus of a foreign entity is alarming but $4.10 per gallon is distracting. Also the worry that it could get much worse – any day now. People having to deal with existential threats to themselves haven’t got time to worry about what the cretins who rule them have been up to.” – Eric Peters

Call Off the Iran War. Just Walk Away! – “After several days of increasing threats against Iran, including social media posts like “FINISH THE JOB!” and “Take the oil. No mercy!,” President Trump has over the weekend called off a planned major escalation in the Middle East. For now. “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II,” he wrote on his social media account. According to various media articles, the US is running dangerously low on missiles, especially interceptor missiles such as the Patriot system. Our ability to protect our military bases in the Middle East appears to be gone. Reportedly, President Trump was warned by his top military advisors that a ground operation against Iran would result in a high level of US casualties and would have no guarantee of success.” – Ron Paul

A Murder Spree Without End – “It bears repeating that everyone killed in these boat strikes is a murder victim. Some of the more than 220 people murdered by our government at sea were likely not involved in drug trafficking at all: I would emphasize that the government has no right to take anyone’s life because of alleged ties to drug trafficking. It bears repeating that everyone killed in these boat strikes is a murder victim. Some of them have been fishermen, and some may have been victims of human trafficking, but they are all victims of a mindless campaign of summary executions carried out on the president’s illegal orders. The boat strikes haven’t made a dent in the flow of drugs into this country, nor was there ever any reason to believe that they would.” – Daniel Larison

US sends more intel assets to Cuba – “The move is one of several actions by the Trump administration to squeeze the communist regime in Havana.

Trump looked at Exxon’s $14.5 billion quarter and Chevron’s $12.1 billion quarter and said oil companies are making too much profit. My skepticism of his comment runs deep.

Off-Grid Doesn’t Mean Untraceable: Property Records, Drones, and Satellite Imagery – “There is a particular fantasy bundled into the off grid dream, and it tends to show up somewhere between the solar panel spreadsheet and the well drilling quote. The fantasy is that if you buy enough acreage in a county nobody has heard of, cut the utility cord, and stop handing your address to strangers, you become invisible. That picture falls apart quickly once you understand how modern land information actually works. Every acre in the country sits inside a recorded chain of title. Every county maintains a parcel layer that feeds a public web map. Federal agencies photograph the entire lower forty-eight on a rolling schedule and give the imagery away for free.” – Bob Rodgers

Let Them Drive Kias . . . – “You may have heard Trump’s braggadocious announcement the other day about the White House’s new fleet of 250 Cadillac Escalades for the the presidential motorcade. “Our guys are very spoiled. They like the Escalade. So do I,” said Trump. What’s most interesting about this is the imperial garishness of it. More finely, as the American empire disintegrates, its garishness waxes. America’s Don – who is a billionaire – isn’t paying for any of it. How much is it? Estimates range from $22.5 million to about $75 million, depending on the extent of the modifications to each of the 250 Escalades. Probably these will be considerable since an as-it-comes Escalade is much too common for our pompadoured Don. It’s a really bad look, but the Don not only doesn’t care – he flaunts it, like John Gotti used to – and he does it at the same moment in time when ordinary Americans are struggling to put regular in the Kias they paid for with their own money, with whatever was left of it after they got tax-fleeced to pay for all the nice things the Don thinks are befitting the magnificence and generosity (to its clients) of the regime. “We look sharp in those Escalades.

You couldn’t have seen a more vivid demonstration of manifest evil than the master bureaucratic grifter formerly self-styled as “The Science” stonewall his way through that fateful reckoning in Sen. Rand Paul’s committee hearing last Wednesday. The score so far: over a million dead in America from the Covid-19 virus that Dr. Fauci helped develop starting as far back as the 1990s, with Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina. Tens of thousands left with serious, lasting injuries from the vaccines they promoted.

Throw it on the ground for the dogs to chew. The magical “six feet” distance between human beings, a figure which Fauci himself admitted “just appeared” and wasn’t based on any science.

Trump’s West Asia Off-Ramp – “Trump’s war against Iran, started for Israel and funded by the American people without the slightest bit of Congressional debate or constitutional adherence, has been lost. Initiating this war, designed by neoconservatives and Israeli talking heads, conducted by a group of real estate bros and a former FOXNews commentator, and executed by not-the-good-looking-actor Bradley Cooper was Trump’s peculiar genius, his 5D chess. He knows exactly who to blame, fire, and throw under the bus. Maybe that’s how he “planned” it (wink, wink). Allow me to speak directly. Sir, just between us, you most certainly won the presidency all three times. Winning is what you do.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The American MIC put together an unbeatable military machine, at least when it comes to blasting the ever-loving shit out of 2nd and 3rd tier countries that can’t really fight back. I call it the “Top Gun Maverick Military Model.” The TGM3 works great in C.G. Hollywood movies, it worked great in the 20th Century against countries like Serbia and Libya, and most importantly of all, it’s fantastic for shoveling endless billions of dollars to our corpulent MIC “defense” industries. And for decades, it kept the rest of the world in line, afraid to test America’s evidently overwhelming destructive military power. That is, until President Donald Trump, tricked by Bibi Netanyahu’s false promise of a quick and easy three-day regime-change victory over Iran, blundered into the greatest military disaster in modern history-” – Matt Bracken

In his trademark bloviating style, President Trump posted to Truth Social that the USA was “locked and loaded” to unleash “levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II”, but that “for the future benefit of the WORLD” he had responded to a request from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off as the outline of a deal had been agreed.

Inflation (gas, groceries, and other essentials) cuts into largely fixed incomes. Health care costs continue to rise and are the leading cause of personal bankruptcies. Higher education often leads to onerous student debt that cannot be discharged through personal bankruptcy. Workers are bombarded with ads to bet money on sports using apps on their phones.

The Debt to GDP Ratio – “There are very few economic statistics that actually matter. Most of what governments publish every month is little more than political theater. They constantly revise GDP, unemployment, inflation, and virtually every other number after the headlines have faded. One measure, however, deserves attention because it tells you whether government is expanding faster than the economy that supports it. That is the debt-to-GDP ratio.” – Martin Armstrong

Your binder holds hard copies of all the details of life that help you navigate the electronic and bureaucratic world we live in. If nothing terrible ever happens, if your life flows by without a single serious event, you will still be grateful to have your paperwork organized and at your fingertips.” – Kathy Harrison  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BEFORE!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

Ceuta as the bridge too far and the fulcrum of change – “One thing is certain: everywhere clan Soros crops up, this disease spreads. They are the plague rats of institutional and incentive capture and like them or hate them, they are incredibly effective. Spain looks to be in real danger of falling as a nation. They created a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants from places that do not believe in spain but only in tribe and who do not believe in rights but only in who may dominate whom. if one seeks to be a wrecker, it’s a brilliant incentive. pardon a million and give them access to your social safety networks and welfare payments which fund a lifestyle far in excess of where they came from. The media is, predictably, either ignoring this or pretending it’s a humanitarian crisis of families and babies. it’s not. this is damn near all men. and they are not behaving well.” – El Gato Malo

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Says AI Data Centers Are Going To Be The Next Revolution In Finance,’ As Trump Says ‘You Can’t Fight Against’ Data Centers – “”It’s very important because you have to convince your community how great these things [are] — you can’t fight it, you have to go with it,” Trump said.” – The WinePress

The Plot to Poison Farmland with Sewage Sludge… and Then Take It Out of Production – “Companies like DuPont and 3M are knowingly poisoning our water and farmland with PFAS “forever chemicals.” They’re not doing it just for profit, or population control, or to make us sick and tired so we can’t resist their rule. Those are side benefits. They’re waiting for the day when they can say that real food is too toxic, even (especially?) the organic farms need to be shut down, and we have no choice but to eat synthetic food made from genetically modified microorganisms raised on waste. That time is drawing near, so we’re hearing a lot about the problem of PFAS, the government is starting to use it as an excuse to condemn farmland, and the corporate overlords are starting to roll out their Frankenfood solution.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

Ancient Structures From Canada No One Can Explain! (VIDEO) – “From a prehistoric medicine wheel older than the pyramids and eerie Arctic stone faces to forgotten Indigenous earthworks, mysterious runic carvings hidden deep in the forest, and the terrifying Valley of Headless Men, these incredible places continue to leave archaeologists searching for answers. Some of these mysteries have finally been solved, while others remain as baffling today as they were centuries ago. Let’s dive in.” – Origins Explained

‘Genetically Altered’ Nuclear Monster Sharks Could Be Eating Whales – “Just what we need right now… A mysterious predator has been tearing into whales, seals, and giant tuna off the New York coast, leaving bite marks the size of dinner plates and sparking theories of a radioactive “Sharkzilla” spawned by decades of government nuclear waste dumping. Because nothing says summer 2026 like the possibility that Cold War bureaucrats cooked up a genetically enhanced killing machine in the Atlantic.” – Steve Watson

The First Waves of the Paradigm Shift Have Arrived – “The tsunami hasn’t. Yet. But it’s building. The first warning waves are already eroding the vacationland shore of establishment politics, both in the United States and Europe. I know the US better, so will focus on it. In Maine, an anti-Zionist veteran seemingly came out of nowhere to clinch the Democratic nomination for US Senate, but our kleptocracy and Israel’s minions managed to put the kabosh on him. In Kentucky, the same people were able to scare enough older Boomers and Silents to the polls to defeat libertarian and anti-imperialist Tom Massie in one congressional district. The problem for them is that the paradigm shift away from Empire and towards utter revulsion and contempt for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel is too large, too deep, and too connected to the dialectical materialist contradictions of the US Empire to be contained. Opposition to AI data centers is now the most anti-establishment position a politician can take to guarantee a lot of instant votes for him or her, and socialists are leading the charge.” – Ohio Barbarian

Corrupt and Despotic Ukraine Is Not Worth Fighting WWIII – “This war is about money, not saving ‘democracy.’ Seeing Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral seemed fitting: Z-Man’s money-laundering operation in Kyiv was the proximate cause of Graham’s death. Had the senator not been working so hard to add to the butcher’s bill in Europe, he would still be alive today. Surely there is a lesson here for some people to see.” – J.B. Shurk

Cuba Crisis: Assessing the Claims Against Havana – “When President Donald Trump declared Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security in a January 2026 Executive Order, the designation was accompanied by a series of sweeping claims. Among them were accusations that Cuba “provides support” to Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, that it “supports terrorism,” and that the Cuban government supports actors who “seek to destroy the United States.” Claims this broad require clear evidence. The history of disputed intelligence assessments including Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, “yellowcake” uranium, and mobile biological weapons programs, are just a few examples where assertions were made while evidence remained lacking or fabricated.” – Patrick Pillow

ECONOMIC NEWS

One Month of Falling Prices Won’t Restore Price Stability – “June’s PCE report showed prices falling as energy prices retreated, but underlying inflation and nominal spending remain too strong.” – Bryan Cutsinger

The “Paycheck to Paycheck” Problem – “Even before this energy price spike, affordability was a big problem. A structural, long-term trend. Hospital services are up nearly 300% in 26 years. Tuition more than 165%. Daycare costs up 150%. And these are based on government statistics, which always undercount true inflation. There are fluctuations, but the pattern is clear. Steadily higher. As a percentage of income, these items are eating up a bigger piece of the pie.” – Adam Sharp

Government Takes a Stake in 6 More Companies, New Total Is 30 Companies – “The federal government is now acting as regulator, customer, financier, and shareholder. Decisions involving contracts, trade restrictions, permits, and additional subsidies can affect the value of its holdings. Competitors have reason to question whether the playing field is level.This is state capitalism / corporatist industrial policy. Calling it communism overstates the case. However, and unfortunately, it’s more government economic intervention into the markets.” – Mish  – ALSO WHO IS TAKING POSITIONS IN THESE COMPANIES AS WELL, TRUMP, CONGRESS CRITTERS, CORPORATE INSIDERS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2007 after Fed keeps rates unchanged – Sarah Min and Joseph Wilkins

SPR Gets Drained to Dump Crude Oil on Global Markets: US Exports of Crude Oil & Petroleum Products Spike – “Crude oil exports hit a record of 5.7 MMb/d in May, exports of ultra-low sulfur diesel hit a record 1.54 MMb/d, etc.” – Wolf Richter  – SEE MISH’S ARTICLE YESTERDAY FOR MORE ON THE SPR!!!!!!!!

Steve Forbes Issues New Dollar Warning – “A strong dollar sounds like good news. It sounds solid. Responsible. Adult, even. It sounds like the sort of thing a country should want to have, and feel proud of. But unbacked currencies are tricky things. See, currency “strength” is almost always measured in comparison with other currencies – not in comparison with groceries, medical bills, electricity prices or the cost per gallon of gasoline. That means the dollar can look strong against the yen, the yuan or the euro while still losing purchasing power here at home.” – Peter Reagan

Cashmere Goats – A Homesteader’s Complete Guide – “The first time I ran a metal comb through a goat’s winter coat and pulled out a handful of fiber softer than anything I owned in my closet, I understood exactly why cashmere carries the price tag it does. Cashmere is not a breed name, it is a fiber classification. Per Werner Creek Farm’s account of raising them, goats naturally grow two types of hair: coarse outer guard hairs and a soft, downy undercoat, and any goat producing a fine enough undercoat can be marketed as a cashmere producer regardless of its formal breed. That is why you will see cashmere coming off Spanish goats, ferals, and various meat-breed crosses, not just goats labeled specifically as Cashmere. Purpose-bred cashmere lines do exist, developed specifically for consistent, high-quality down.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

On the Invasion of Cueta: They always tell you – “A 1990 movie has lived in my head for 36 years… We need to recognize the long game, and understand that the incremental changes are not to be ignored. They are part of the plan. It may be too late for Spain, for Europe. They did not heed the warnings given by the globalist elites themselves. They are overwhelmed and disarmed.” – Kira Davis

$80 Crude, $170 Reality – “Why paper crude prices are lying to you” – Sarah Connor – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM SARAH!!!

Surveillance State Quietly Taking Shape Across America – “Ubiquitous surveillance is just the tip of the iceberg. AI is hooking systems together, enabling a panopticon, a genuine police state. But omnipresent cameras are just the eyes of the beast. The real problem is the creature’s brain, AI.” – Doug Casey

Chaos Agent: Anthony Fauci Represents A System That Needs To Be Cleansed – “I think nothing enrages Americans more than a lack of accountability from government officials. Yes, it happens often, and the public hasn’t taken up torches and pitchforks (yet), but I would point out that these incidents are cumulative and they light a growing fire within the collective memory. Eventually, people are going to snap if they don’t see action taken to rectify past wrongs.” – Brandon Smith

The Curse It is Cast – “Who in this land was not mortally depressed watching Rand Paul’s Senate hearing Wednesday starring Dr. Fauci? (One last time, the center of attention!) We have become a procedural republic, slipping into an impotence of legalistic self-fuckery the way old folks slip into dementia, one lost memory at a time. There sits the murderer of millions cloaked in the banality of his evil — as it was at Nuremburg eighty years ago — and this time, you just have to lump it, America. The law can’t touch him at all. Dr. Fauci ran his own titanically corrupt fiefdom out of the nation’s public health complex. Half-a-million a year wasn’t enough for — let’s call him what he was — an executive bureaucrat.” – James Howard Kunstler

Why Prosecuting Fauci is Off Limits – “Discovery and prosecution of the former NIAID director would expose the entire rotten edifice of the US government. The liabilities would be astronomical.” – John Leake

The Fauci Legend Will Not Die! – “The ferocity of the Covid coverup is a thing to behold.” – Matt Taibbi

Bill Gates Was Secretly Granted TOP SECRET “Q” Security Clearance by the Department of Energy – “During Anthony Fauci’s recent Senate hearing, Senator Rand Paul exposed a stunning revelation: Bill Gates held a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance from 2014 through 2021. A DOE Q clearance is the equivalent of TOP SECRET and can establish eligibility to access some of the most sensitive nuclear information held by the United States government. Why were America’s nuclear secrets entrusted to a known depopulationist?” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – WHY SHOULD ANY ORDINARY CITIZEN HAVE ACCESS TO ANY TOP SECRET INFORMATION, REGARDLESS WHO YOU ARE

Burying Lindsey Graham Won’t Be Easy – “Long ago, great Senators existed. Resolute and accountable, they represented their governors and state legislatures and asserted those interests in Washington. No longer. A regal Senate with a bold populist House of Representatives do not exist. What we call Senate and House do not make federal law, nor do they perform the small number of defined duties described in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. The making of law has become the work of lobbyists and the regulatory bureaucracy, while other Constitutional duties have become entirely too frightening to even consider, much less perform. The hydra-headed executive branch has become the permanent ruler, the center of state power, poisonous and deadly. The hydra was captured in video at Graham’s funeral, as Netanyahu forcefully issued his latest orders to Rubio and Hegseth.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Yemen, an Islamic betrayal and the expanding battlefield – “Never underestimate Yemen. Yemen shall resolutely match escalation for escalation. Just as Iran is doing.’ – Pepe Escobar

Saudi Arabia’s Choice To Join Trump in Bombing Iraq A Monumental Mistake! – “Desperate for money, Ukraine is taking military drones and advanced weapons out of commission and is selling them on the black market to whomever has the cash. While continuing to demand the EU and US supply – more weapons. Iran continues to ‘retaliate’ for every US hit with latest being Jordan and Kuwait. At what point does the Middle East understand the US and Israel are NOT their friends?” – Helena Glass

Trump and NYT Say There’s a Russian Spy Base in Cuba. Turns Out, It’s a School – Reed Lindsay

The Socialist Monster Awakens – “The Left’s socialist revolt did not come from nowhere—it was the inevitable offspring of years of Democratic radicalization, now turning against the party that created it.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A Wolf In New York City Mayor’s Clothing – “The latest proposals from City Hall suggest New York is becoming a laboratory for communism in America.” – Quoth the Raven

BORDER ‘INVASION’ Hundreds of migrants storm SECOND Spain enclave as ‘shots fired on border’ after 60,000 breach EU territory in 24 hours – “The chaos in Ceuta, which has a population of under 84,000, has spread to Spain’s second North African enclave of Melilla.” – Georgie English and Gerard Couzens

The Gibraltar calculus: Is Spain’s Ceuta included in Abraham Accords? – “The obvious question, the one every wire service asked, was what triggered the surge. The more interesting question is who benefits, and why the answer keeps circling back to Washington and the alignment it built. What on the surface looks like a sudden migration crisis bears all the hallmarks of a coordinated strategic push. A manageable border breach, instantly weaponized by American MAGA influencers and Israeli figures, recalls Rabat’s original bargain: entry into the Abraham Accords in exchange for U.S. recognition of Western Sahara.” -Yakup Kenan

Entire Russian City Enveloped In Smoke & Darkness After Major Refinery Attacked – “The major Russian industrial city of Volgograd, in the country’s southwest, is being engulfed in smoke and darkness on Friday after a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks scored several hits on key sites. A sprawling energy facility, as well as warehouse belonging to the online retailer Wildberries, went up in flames, resulting in several injuries. During the attack a residential area was also struck, resulting in the death of a woman in her destroyed home.” – Tyler Durden

The Student Loan Crisis Is Exploding – “Student loan defaults have surged to 9.2 million borrowers, representing roughly one in every five people with student debt. What is astonishing is the speed of the deterioration. There were approximately 6 million borrowers in default last August. That figure jumped to 7.7 million by December. By April it had reached 9.2 million. Another 3 million borrowers are reportedly at least 90 days delinquent and appear headed in the same direction.” – Martin Armstrong

Top 0.1% Pay more Tax than Bottom 80% – “New IRS data says the top 0.1% of taxpayers — one in a thousand — pays more than the bottom 80% of taxpayers. Turns out we’re eating the rich after all.” – Peter St Onge

PM sentiment low as it gets – “Few investors are interested in major upheavals facing global finances. Disinterest in summer is normal, but this is a time of maximum danger to personal wealth. It is a fact that after 55 years of this fiat currency regime, the top 500 investment managers with an estimated $140—$150 trillion under management are clueless about money and credit. For them, gold and its PM cousin silver is losing them “money”. This is why sentiment is gloomy. But if they account in gold, they still have their gold and no credit risk. This is important, since without doubt credit risk is escalating. No chart tells you this, so technical analysis as commonly practiced is no guide, because all charts share the basic assumption of the clueless millions. All commodities, stocks, and bonds are always priced in national currencies, which are credit issued by government agents with their counterparty and hidden debauchment risk.” – Alasdair Macleod

A Head for an Eye: The Government’s War on the American People – “We have been ambushed. We should be talking about the dangerous, destabilizing things being done to this country. We should be talking about the data centers spreading across the landscape, We should be talking about the government’s growing network of detention centers and its family-separation policies, We should be talking about license-plate readers, facial recognition, government databases and artificial intelligence capable of turning our movements and associations into a digital dossier on every person in America. We should be talking about masked government agents, endless war, disappearing constitutional safeguards and an imperial presidency accountable to no one. Instead, we are trapped in a vicious loop of nonsense, mania, political demagoguery and manufactured spectacle while the country goes to hell in a handbasket.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Really no need to as so many have: From the Fauci Diaries emerges a person so egotistical that he leaves a self-written trail of his own criminality. How this man can escape indictment and imprisonment or execution is beyond belief. It is not just Fauci. It is the pharmaceutical industry, the medical profession and Big Pharma bought-and-paid-for medical boards. It is the whore media. It is the dumbshit American masses who lack the intelligence and knowledge to wonder if they are being driven by fear to an unknown destination.” – Paul Craig Roberts

A Horrific Genocide of Christians – “Most of the world is raised on the mandatory remembrance of a particular 20th-century genocide. We see it in films, in school curriculum, in state ceremonies; to question a single detail of its official narrative is to risk ruin, censorship, and legal penalty across most of the Western world. But almost no one speaks of the slaughter that preceded it. The one that wrote the very playbook of modern totalitarian murder, and whose architects, tactics, and ideological heirs remain in power today, operating under a new flag, with a new name, and the same unquenchable thirst for domination. The Bolsheviks, many of them Jewish revolutionaries returned from exile in the West; Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein), Yakov Sverdlov (Solomon), Grigori Zinoviev (Radomyslsky), Karl Radek (Sobelsohn), Maxim Litvinov (Wallach), Lev Kamenev (Rosenfeld), Moisei Uritsky, seized this ideology and turned it into a machine of slaughter.

She and her husband still have important things to do, and they need to be kept safe and sound while they pen agreements for Netflix programs about NBA players and stuff. This is the same mentality as the climate crusaders who board private jets to Europe to discuss how you shouldn’t be allowed to continue driving the 2002 Toyota Tundra that was all you could afford because of greenhouse emissions. They have important things to do and can’t be bothered with waiting in line or dealing with TSA, but you can wait for the (electric) bus.

Understand why rising treasury yields will impact borrowing costs for everyone. This analysis breaks down the current state of the bond market and what it means for long-term economic stability. We examine the mechanics of future debt issuance and why the bond market is flashing warning signs about the influx of new treasuries hitting the system. Investors and finance professionals will gain clarity on how treasury yields interact with broader borrowing costs. By looking at the supply-demand imbalance, we clarify the specific mechanism forcing yields higher to attract buyers in a crowded market environment.” – Stacking Surfer 🏄 and Miles Franklin Media

Silver Is the Real Shortage. Oil Is the Distraction. – “That doesn’t mean oil isn’t important. It powers the global economy and remains one of the world’s most strategic commodities. But there’s a critical difference between a temporary supply disruption and a structural shortage. The two are often confused, and investors pay the price.” – Kerry Lutz

US Savings Rate Tumbles Despite Lowest Jobless Claims Data In 57 Years – “The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits remained near its lowest levels since 1969 last week at just 197k (below the 200k exp)… Continuing jobless claims are also falling back to cyclical lows… Additionally, both income and spending are also trending higher… But overall, the savings rate is tumbling…So, the ‘low hire, no fire’ economy leaves Americans still spending but higher prices are forcing savings to be drawn down to maintain quality of life.” – Tyler Durden

Kevin Warsh Speaks: Short, But Pointless – “…a lot of words, almost no vision, and plenty of carefully engineered ambiguity.” – Quoth the Raven

Kevin Warsh Missed The Boat—Inflation Won’t End Until The “Ample Reserve Regime”Is Deep-Sixed – “Not a good look for Kevin Warsh, taking a powder on what is self-evidently a crying need for the Fed to get its Big Fat Thumb off the money market and allow short-term rates to find a rational, noninflationary market clearing level.” – David Stockman

During a short outage, a closed, well-packed freezer may hold its temperature long enough for power to return. During a prolonged grid failure, however, the freezer becomes a countdown clock.” – denob – HAVE LINKED SIMILAR ARTICLES BEFORE!!!

How to Fake Your Death, Go Invisible and Survive SHTF – “This is not about faking your death, forging documents, or ducking out on debts, court dates, or child support. You already know that’s fraud, and no SHTF scenario makes it legal. This article is about something every serious prepper already values: going gray. That’s the real skill of making yourself hard to track, hard to notice, and hard to target when the systems you’d normally rely on stop working. Going gray doesn’t start the night the grid goes down. It starts months earlier, in how much your street already knows about your business. Someone remembers the generator in your driveway, the garage light on at 2 AM or the questions you asked about their well. You don’t need a bug-out bag if you’ve already spent years being the guy everyone points to first.” – Jim A

THE BIG PICTURE

Rand Paul threatens to hold Fauci in contempt after he declines to answer questions – “Anthony S. Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a Senate hearing Wednesday where Republicans pressed the retired government scientist on whether he was sufficiently truthful in past testimony about the coronavirus pandemic. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), a longtime adversary of Fauci, concluded the nearly three-hour hearing by saying the committee is planning a vote next week on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress.” – Dan Diamond and Anna Liss-Roy – THOUGHT HE COULDN’T INVOKE THE FIFTH BECAUSE OF BIDEN’S PARDON. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fauci can’t even look them in the eyes – “POWERFUL MOMENT with FAUCI in the docket. The good doctor can’t even LOOK at the people he impacted. Sen. Bernie Moreno confronts the megalomaniac with the impact of his TERRIBLE Covid policies.” – Justin Hart

Senator Paul Should Ask Fauci Why Moderna’s 2016 Patented Gene Sequence Turned Up in SARS-CoV-2 – “Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, the Wuhan Lab, a critical gene patent, and the U.S. government’s curious lack of interest in what appears to be a smoking gun.” – John Leake  -AS I SAID YESTERDAY IT’S ALL GOING TO BE A SHOW!!!

Why You Shouldn’t Give Up: Your Moment Could Be Right Around the Corner – “40 is a long time, but your 41 is coming.” – Kate Dreston

The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing – “For 140 years, one organization has quietly supplied nearly every Labour Prime Minister in British history, founded the London School of Economics, written the blueprint for the NHS, and shaped governments across the world, all while using a wolf dressed as a sheep as its actual emblem. This is the true, documented history of the Fabian Society. Founded by nine people above a shop in North London in 1884.” – Karla Treadway

WH AI Action Plan – Whoever Has The Most AI Data Centers – WINS! – “Contrary to the narrative that AI is being created to make our lives better or as Musk levies, to make Ai our personal slaves, AI is 99% about War.

Here Comes the President . . . – “The President of the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu, arrives in town this week to “confer” with his viceroy, Donald Trump. That is, to give him his orders. Everyone understands the nature of the relationship, especially those who refuse to acknowledge it. The real president of the United States instructed his viceroy to start this war and now he is back (again) to instruct him to expand it, probably. Iran stubbornly refuses to accept defeat since it has won – so far – by not losing.” – Eric Peters

The neverending cries of crisis – “Rahm Emmanuel was credited as saying, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” He was probably paraphrasing Machiavelli when he said it… Still, in the history of the United States, various crises have been used as a pretext for any number of actions by presidents and/or Congresses that ultimately resulted in an upending of the constitutional order. The unfortunate truth is that when people get scared, they’re willing to accept anything so long as the voice demanding it sounds like they’re going to make everything better. Government overreach is nothing new, but it makes bolder gains during a crisis. And, when authoritarians realize that, all they need to do is create more crises to react to.” – Tom Knighton   – GOOD READ FROM TOM!!!!

Socialist Seattle Mayor Gets Schooled on Raising Taxes – “Socialism in the land of the free. What does a Democratic Socialist leader do when her city is facing a $175 million budget deficit? Why, raise taxes, of course. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson isn’t winning any brownie points with citizens or other politicians. The cost of doing business in the Emerald City has been driving companies away, and Wilson’s wave-goodbye indifference has only heightened the problem. Now, the mayor wants to boost taxes – again… Seattle and New York may be separated by nearly 3,000 miles, but they’re reading from much the same playbook: bigger government, higher taxes, and promises of more “free” benefits. ” – Kelli Ballard

Detroit Gets Drafted: Ford And GM Head Back To The Battlefield – “Defense production sits squarely at the center of that effort, with Washington increasingly looking to private industry to expand military manufacturing.

ECONOMIC NEWS

Americans Are Cutting Back on Groceries – Recession Watch – “Politicians can point to a lower inflation report, but they cannot explain why Americans are standing in grocery aisles putting food back on the shelf. CNBC reports that consumers are spending less on groceries, forcing companies like PepsiCo, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Campbell’s, and Conagra to slash prices and rely on promotions simply to move inventory. Millions have reached the point where every trip to the store has become an exercise in deciding what they can live without. The numbers tell a much darker story than the headlines. Americans now owe roughly $1.25 trillion in credit card debt, the highest level ever recorded. The average credit card balance has climbed above $6,500, while interest rates on many cards remain above 21%.” – Martin Armstrong

Rate Hike Today? – “Today would be the perfect time for Kevin Warsh to do something almost nobody expects: raise interest rates.” – Quoth the Raven

China Just Shut Down Retail Silver Trading. The Real Story Is What Came Before It. – “Here’s why you should be following this Chinese government move that didn’t make headlines – and what it means for silver today. Chinese regulators remember what happens when retail traders get caught on the wrong side of leveraged commodity products. That’s why the official explanation for what just happened to silver makes sense. But here’s the thing. This isn’t a temporary suspension. What’s left is physical pricing. And that’s worth understanding, because the Shanghai Gold Exchange doesn’t work like Western exchanges.” – Nomi Prins

Inflation Pain Is Worse Than the CPI Indicates, But You Already Knew That! – “We all intuitively know that prices are rising faster than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicates. We feel the pain every time we go to the grocery store or gas station. But just how much is price inflation impacting us here on Main Street? I started pondering this question the other day when I ran across a graph tracking the price of a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup since 1895. You’ll notice an interesting phenomenon. The cost of a can of soup remained relatively stable until around 1973, when it suddenly started to climb more rapidly. And what happened in the early 1970s? President Richard Nixon severed the dollar’s last connection with the gold standard, making it a purely free-floating fiat currency.” – Mike Maharrey

An Interesting Divergence Is Emerging Between The Fed And Other Central Banks – “Warsh’s predilection for the Fed to “say less” contrasts with the approach of the RBA, who are busily implementing review findings encouraging better communication. Warsh, on the other hand, seems to take the view that the wizard retains more power if he remains behind the curtain. Saying less would neatly resolve the risk central bankers face of painting themselves into a corner when goaded into issuing forward guidance by enthusiastic journalists.” – Benjamin Picton

These 10 Watering Mistakes Waste 50% of Your Water – Olivia Brooks

The Legal Gray Zone of Rainwater Collection in Drought States – “Homeowners across the American West have been quietly setting rain barrels under their gutters for years, often without realizing that in some counties this small act sits in a strange legal limbo. On one hand, state agencies plead with residents to conserve water, offer rebates for efficient fixtures, and publish glossy brochures about sustainability. On the other hand, some of those same states technically restrict how much rain a person can legally store on private property, a contradiction that leaves plenty of people scratching their heads.” – Bob Rodgers

There’s no honest national inventory, plenty of departments won’t say where their cameras are, and the ones bolted to shopping centers and apartment complexes are harder to spot than the ones on utility poles.” – OFFGRID Survival
