THE BIG PICTURE

Crucifixion and Renaissance – Whether one believes in the deity of Jesus or not, whether one believes that Christ was resurrected on an April day 2000 years ago, or not, there is no disputing the magnificence of the “New Way” brought into being by the Nazarene. It toppled the Roman code in a relatively short time. And despite the corruption of its message by the institutions entrusted to promote it — alas, the fate of institutions is always one of perfidy — it has survived in many of us, skeptics, agnostics, atheists and believers, and it guides our approach to life.”” – New Zealand Doc  – VERY GOOD READ, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND DESCRIBES THE SUFERING JESUS WENT THROUGH BECAUSE CRUCIFIXION WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE PERSON SUFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter Isn’t God Saying “You’re Fine as You Are”… It’s God Making You New -Bill Heid

The System Being Built While the World Burns (VIDEO) – “Announced at Davos in January 2026, the carbon market platform EcoGuard automates the full carbon credit lifecycle. The carbon market is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2035. This infrastructure is designed to be “invisible and ubiquitous” — the goal is for every transaction, settlement, and data point to be managed behind the scenes so that the user is not aware of it. Also at Davos last January, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said that AI “will destroy humanities jobs,” and described a future in which high school students train for factory jobs, no one goes to college or immigrates, and black-box software run by major government contractors determines whether society is being run properly. For the more compliant, the so-called 15-minute city, smart city, and freedom city models are being built to incorporate digital ID, carbon tracking, and population monitoring. Where you live, how far you travel, and what your carbon footprint is are already being tracked in multiple countries and several US cities” – Greg Reese  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GREG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Seditious Global Censorship Project Tightens Its Noose – “That the assassination of Charlie Kirk might have been a shadow government operation is gaining traction in the hive mind. Some of Candace Owen’s suspicions are gaining serious adherents in that the curious are nailing down some of her assertions, scattered as they are, preposterous as some appear. The Egyptians, the Masons, the building in Delaware, what the what? I don’t know if Erika Kirk is an old fashioned MKUltra sex operative – they apparently specialized in creating them – but Kirk himself apparently, was entirely within her thrall, uxorious in the extreme. Until he wasn’t. She was a full-on partner at Turning Point, managed the donors, their money and put on events especially for them, and he was sent out as the face of the operation. On his last night, there is suspicion – given his actions and his texts to friends – that they were headed for a divorce as he planned to uncouple from his Chabady Jewish supremacist funders. Plus, very against the Iran war.” – Elizabeth Nickson

The Deep State Doesn’t Send Hitmen — It Sends Invoices. Until now… – “People imagine the deep state as shadow figures and black helicopters. That’s the movie version. The real version is a law firm’s billing system. The deep state’s most reliable weapon has never been secrecy. It’s been time — specifically, the billable hour. Every motion filed, every extension requested, every round of “further review” is another invoice. Another drain. Another reason to quit. You don’t need to defeat someone on the merits if you can exhaust them on process. The Parking Fight Is the Template.  It sounds small. That’s why it’s perfect. Most people assume they’re wrong when they get a ticket. The system counts on that assumption. The cost of fighting — time, process, confusion — exceeds the fine. So they pay. Multiplied by millions of citations a year, that’s a billion-dollar operation built entirely on the expectation of surrender. But once you understand the actual foundation — notice requirements, sign compliance, proper setup under federal standards — you start asking different questions. Those questions expose structural cracks that were always there. The system just depended on you never finding them. The parking fight is a microcosm of every fight against an institution that weaponizes process.” – Kerry Lutz

The ‘Anti-Cancer,’ Heart-Friendly Seed That Pharma Doesn’t Want You to Know About – “Flaxseed contains some of the most well-studied anti-cancer, cardioprotective compounds in all of nature. It costs pennies. It grows in the ground. And yet — it remains one of the best-kept secrets in modern medicine.” – Sayer Ji

NEWS

Trump & The Pentagon Will Collapse America Into Darkness – “Hegseth Firing 4 star Generals. There are varying reports regarding the number of generals and admirals Hegseth has fired, with numbers ranging between now 23 to 34. The reason is clear – Trump will only tolerate ‘Yes Men’ and Hegseth complies while depleting not just the highest ranks, but destabilizing war and troop strategies that will put thousands of lives in imminent danger. The idea of Marines on the ground is suicide. The idea that some two-bit former Fox News Host can fire a 4 star general is insanity! It is incredibly demeaning. The outcome should result in mutiny. It is like putting sailors on a ship with no captain or parachutists on a plane with no pilot.” – Helena Glass

Warrior USA – “This might be the most hilarious self-own ever: “Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. “You’d have a much different country.” Yes, indeed, we’d have a much different America if the government wasn’t spending trillions of dollars buying weapons, supporting terrorists, and waging wars, but that’s not what corporate elites and wannabe warlords want.” – Bill Astore

Why the US Regime Pretends Israel’s Nuclear Weapons Don’t Exist – “It’s difficult to find much of anything we might call “good” coming out of the current US-Israel war against Iran. Yet, one positive development has been the fact that Israel’s deceitful practice of pretending it has no nuclear weapons program is now untenable. ” – Ryan McMaken

At The Mountains of Madness and Empire – “The Mad Emperor of the US Empire went on live television the other night and did the Dementia Dance. We saw this before during the four long, increasingly irrational and hysterical years of the Biden Administration. Trump just hasn’t deteriorated to slurring. Yet. We all know the drill. The President of the United States stands there and repeats one favorite trope after the other, in no particular order. All his old one-liners, jumbled up and spun in contradictory directions because the mind of the speaker is out to pasture, or maybe reminiscing about a rich pedophile’s hideaway. Donald Trump is not in charge. He’s a trapped and scared old man, unable to think as well as he could just a few years ago,The problem is, he is trapped by people who have the goods on him and they are even more insane than he. These people are called Zionists, and they are utterly mad, ” – Ohio Barbarian

Disaster: Operation “Stone Age” Begins to Backfire – “A mere day after Trump promised to send Iran back to the “stone ages”, the US had its most disastrous 24-hours of its airwar against Iran thus far.” – Simplicius

Iran war: A Grand Imperial Fantasy? (VIDEO) – “Vnessa Beeley, “Ryan Cristián (The Last American Vagabond ), and Myriam Charabaty – “We all sit down with BettBeat Media to add invaluable context to the genocidal project in West Asia and Persia, led by Washington and the Zionist cult, with British puppeteers in the shadows. We discuss the portrayal of the wars for survival in this region from Western outlets, the lack of cultural perspective and civilisational understanding with some of the conclusions being reached.” – BettBeat Media

Iran’s Oil Reserves & Foreign Aggression – “Much of world’s third largest reserve consists of Iranian Light crude, which is almost as valuable as West Texas Intermediate.” – John Leake

Netanyahu Boasts 70% Of Iran’s Steel Production Capacity Destroyed – “What has become clear is that Iran’s two largest producers – Khuzestan Steel Company and Mobarakeh Steel Company – have both been knocked offline after repeated US-Israeli strikes, with officials warning it could take months to restore operations, and that’s assuming this can be done even as the bombs still rain down. President Trump has meanwhile warned that Washington has yet to begin “destroying what’s left” of the Islamic Republic’s infrastructure. Major bridges have already been taken out, and even medical and pharmaceutical complexes, along with instances of deadly attacks on schools.” – Tyler Durden

How Likely Is It That The Gulf Kingdoms Diversify Their Export Routes After The War Ends? – “They now hate Iran for damaging their energy infrastructure and therefore don’t want to indefinitely pay it “petroyuan” as part of the “toll” system that the Islamic Republic is flirting with imposing.” – Andrew Korybko

Islamic Networks Now Inside Catholic Charities – “Actively Importing Muslims into America for Grant Money…” – Jim McCraigh

Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch: (11 second VIDEO) – “CNN: “Why do you want to be here?… Why do you love being a part of history? Kid: “We’re going back to the f*cking moon, that’s why!” ” – Libs of TikTok

DOJ Is DONE Releasing Epstein Files – “New acting AG Todd Blanche declares full release complete — even as millions of pages remain unreleased. Todd Blanche wastes no time covering up for the Epstein child trafficking network and says he has no idea which country Jeffrey Epstein was working for or spying for. He says there is no evidence in the Epstein files that proves Epstein was a spy.” – Steve Watson  – GUESS TRUMP HAS GOT THE RIGHT MAN TO RUN THE DOJ NOW!!!

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

What the US Embassy Attack in Baghdad Means for Preppers – “The Global Ripple Effect Why should a drone attack halfway around the world matter to your family’s preparedness plan? Because it proves that cheap, easily transportable, and concealable, mass-produced drones can successfully defeat multi-million-dollar defense systems. If state and state-funded actors can mass-produce $50,000 drones to overwhelm advanced security, they can target military bases, critical infrastructure, and shipping routes globally. This creates a chain reaction that directly impacts your daily life: When the seriousness of the world ramps up, the best response is calm, practical action. So, the focus should be on building resilient systems for your family. With that in mind, here is what you can do right now to prepare for these global shifts.” – Brian Duff

DIY 5-Gallon Bucket Gardening Stand – “While growing food in the ground is the traditional way to garden, it can be pretty frustrating. You have to deal with pests, disease, too much sun, too much rain, and sometimes even too much wind if a major storm blows through. Any of these can easily kill plants you’ve been nurturing for months. All of this is why bucket gardening has become so popular. You have more control over the soil, it’s easier to prevent pests and disease, and you can move them around if the weather isn’t ideal. To make them look even better and to use your space more efficiently, you can put them in a raised bucket garden stand.” – Heidi Hawthorn  – NICE STURDY STAND THAT ANYONE CAN BUILD, DEFINITELY BOOKMARKING OR PRINTING THIS ONE MYSELF!!!

11 Forgotten Methods to Preserve Food Without Power. #1 Will Surprise You! – “You probably have a freezer full of food right now. Maybe a chest freezer in the garage, a freeze dryer you’re proud of, and a pantry that took years to build. That setup is impressive, but it has one weakness that most preppers don’t like to think about: every single bit of it depends on the grid staying on. When the power goes out for a day, it’s an inconvenience. When it goes out for a week or longer, your stockpile starts a countdown you can’t stop.” – Olivia Brooks

Atrial Fibrillation Off The Grid – ” I’m going to talk about a problem rarely discussed in survival circles and my thoughts on what you could do about it off the grid.

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Matthew 27:57-61     When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.  And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

THE BIG PICTURE

Experts Warned For Years That A War With Iran Would Happen This Way – “Time has a new article out in which unnamed sources assert that the Pentagon was caught totally off-guard by Iran’s aggressive retaliation against the US-Israeli onslaught which began last month,..It’s so wild how we keep seeing reports that Iran’s retaliation caught the US off guard. For all the years I’ve been paying attention to this issue I’ve been reading experts and analysts saying if the US attacks Iran, Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz and strike US bases and the energy infrastructure of US allies in the region. ” – Caitlin Johnstone

The White House Prayer Council – A Satanic Ritual in Blasphemy – “Trump’s grip of Christianity was put on full display for all the world to see as he stumbled through a script he apparently did not ‘pre-read’. While his influencers praised the fact that he mentioned Jesus by name is so cringeworthy as to border blasphemy in lauding a script that was decidedly false teachings. Franklin Graham’s choice to read from the Book of Esther brought the house down to its knees in groans and whispers of Zionist infiltration due to its spurious authenticity.” – Helena Glass

The She Wolf’s Husband – “By now, you have heard about – and probably seen – the interesting story regarding the husband of Ilse, She Wolf of the SS. That is, Kristi Noem, the now ex-head of the SS (ICE). Ordinarily, who cares whether her husband likes to wear women’s clothes and preen on TikTok? Private kinks are not the public’s business, so long as it’s consenting adults. But Noem’s business was very public. She is a person who wielded – still wields – government authority and thus the goings-on are very much the public’s business and not just on account of the salaciousness. These revelations about Noem’s husband could have been compromising. I mean, before they were revealed. The threat, that is to say, of their being revealed by whomever had the the kompromat. Was Ilse – is Ilse – under duress?” – Eric Peters

The Red Line – “Why do the news anchor ladies of CNN, Erin Burnett, Kate Bolduan, always look so depressed on the air? They never smile. Their faces always register something between grave concern and hysteria. Is it the network’s cratered ratings? The pending hostile takeover by Paramount / Skydance (led by conservative David Ellison)? Too much botox, zombifying the small facial muscles? Or is it self-loathing from being compelled to slant everything they report on in the direction of a lie? There does seem to be some hidden hand in Narrative Central issuing prescribed story-lines to the networks, and that hand seems to be tinged with malice for anything and anyone seeking to rescue our country from chaos, penury, psychosis, and jihad. ” – James Howard Kunstler

9/11 Jersey Girl Reads: “A Half-Truth Is Still a Whole Lie” (VIDEO) – “The open letter penned 23 March read out by Patricia Casazza. Please note, this reading is very emotional, as words on a screen CANNOT convey the hurt behind what was penned. Too many people call themselves “truth seekers”, but are in actual fact, NOT interested in finding truth for themselves and will rather blindly follow those in the 9/11 “truth” movement, who play the spin game, instead of looking for 9/11 accountability. Jersey Girl and 9/11 widow breaks her silence in a raw open letter to the US Government and the entire truth movement: drop the egos, stop the half-truths, confront ALL evidence!” – 9/11 Revisionist

WHITE PEOPLE GET MURDERED ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND YOU DON’T HEAR JACK-SH*T FROM THE MSM ABOUT IT. DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY THAT IS.

Trump Blithered and Blustered, and the War Got Worse – “What a difference one little speech makes!” – David Haggith

POTUS Goes Full Stone Age Retard – “It’s pretty clear what the TV screen caption should have read as the Donald expectorated a veritable shower of bully boy phlegm and sputum at the White House cameras last night: Attention JD Vance—activate the 25th Amendment now, POTUS has gone full retard into veritable delusionary madness. That’s right. There was hardly a sentence in the speech that accords with reality in any way shape or form. Not even remotely.” – David Stockman

Trump, fresh off being anointed America’s new messianic savior, purges military of dissident generals, promises to ‘destroy what’s left of Iran’ – “Two U.S. military aircraft, an F-15 fighter jet and an A10 Warthog, downed in the last 24 hours in the Persian Gulf. Everything we are hearing points to an imminent ground invasion of Iran being ordered by Donald J. Trump. This could change, of course, but as of 3 p.m. on Good Friday, it’s not looking good.” – Leo Hohmann

Sanctity Lost: Even Neocon Pantheon Declares US a ‘Rogue Superpower’ The era of American exceptionalism in the eyes of its most fanatic imperialists has drawn to an end. – Simplicius

War On Iran: – Not ‘Getting’ Iran – War Delusions – Losing The Status Of Superpowe – “Trump’s speech on Wednesday night did not offer anything new. But taken together with his threats to bomb Iran back to stone age, points to the further escalation of the war. Trump and some around him still do not ‘get’ Iran. They never in their own life held any principle they would not deviate from if money was to be made. Iran, in contrast, does have principles that are not up for sale. It is beyond Trump’s comprehension that such exit:” – Moon of Alabama

BATTLE OF THE DECADE Floating hospitals, hovercrafts & drone lasers: Trump’s force ready to land in Iran…& what regime has in store for them- “The Sun told how plans had been drawn up for Trump’s 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to storm vital island fortresses to unlock the Strait of Hormuz. But now the Pentagon has given its clearest sign yet of invasion intentions after ordering prefabricated bunkers for island occupations, sources say. Trump has had his crosshairs firmly set on Iran‘s main oil terminal on Kharg Island – where 95 per cent of its oil is shipped.” – Katie Davis and Martin Arostegui

Senior Iranian Official Involved In Reaching Out To Vance Severely Wounded In Airstrike – “A top Iranian official who was involved in diplomatic outreach and indirect talks or messaging with the United States and Pakistani mediators was reportedly critically wounded in a US-Israeli strike. Kamal Kharazi, an 81-year-old senior adviser to Tehran and former foreign minister, lost his wife in the Wednesday strike on his home, state media has said. Some analysts and pundits have accused Israel in particular of trying to sabotage any US-Iran talks, as the Netanyahu government wants to see complete regime collapse in the Islamic Republic.” – Tyler Durden  -THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, TRY TO KILL SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO NEGOTIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit List: Iran Threatens US and Israeli Corporations IRGC said companies have supported US and Israeli military operations in Iran.

Trump Seeks Record $1.5 Trillion for Military, Paid for by Huge Cuts Elsewhere – “To pay for his F-upped war, Trump wants cuts in the EPA, Education, Disaster Funding, TSA, Health. Budget lies also needed.” – Mish

Treasury: Federal Government is Bankrupt – “It’s official: the federal government is bankrupt. You probably knew this. But Treasury admitting it is comforting. Or perhaps terrifying. Last week the Department of Treasury released it consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2025, reporting that the federal government has just over $6 trillion in assets — land, buildings, student loans. But, according to Treasury, it has nearly $48 trillion of debt. That comes to negative $42 trillion. Which is roughly half a million dollars for a family of 4.” – Peter St Onge

Can the Market Economy Be Trusted? – “Contrary to mainstream economics, neither the central bank’s expansionary monetary policy nor the government’s expansionary fiscal policies can cause an increase in savings or production. On the contrary, the expansionary policies weaken the process of savings formation thereby weakening the prospects for economic growth.” – Frank Shostak

This is the Weirdest US Labor Market I’ve Ever Seen – “Weak demand for labor and job destruction at federal & state governments should push up unemployment. But the supply of labor has plunged.” – Wolf Richter

Financial storms ahead – “Financial instability is about to get much worse making the short-term outlook for gold and silver uncertain, but long-term being reaffirmed. It is a buying opportunity for the brave. Until this morning, gold and silver were enjoying a reasonable rally while the broader markets appeared to be under the impression that in the war against Iran America’s proposals to end it would get some traction. But markets appeared to be ignoring Iran’s denials that any talks were taking place. ” – Alasdair Macleod

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Quiet Strength: How Ordinary People Become Leaders In Hard Times – “There is a particular kind of person who reveals themselves during a crisis. They are not usually the loudest voice in the room, not the one with the most impressive title or the most polished way of speaking. They tend to be the neighbor who was already outside assessing the situation before anyone else had finished panicking, or the coworker who quietly started making a list of what needed to happen while everyone else was still processing the shock. These people do not announce their leadership. They simply begin doing what needs to be done, and others naturally fall in behind them without fully understanding why.” – Bob Rodgers

The Underground Garden Battery: How Wood… Charcoal… And Metal Turns Your Soil Into A Self-Sustaining Engine – Bill Heid

Solar Panels for Off-Grid Living: How to Build a System That Actually Works – “Going off-grid with solar is one of the most significant investments a self-reliant homesteader can make. Done right, it eliminates your utility bill permanently, keeps your property powered when the grid fails, and gives you the kind of energy independence that no amount of prepping supplies can replace. Done wrong, it drains your budget on undersized equipment, leaves you in the dark when you need power most, and sends you back to the hardware store for parts you should have bought the first time.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

5 Tools For Clearing Overgrown Land – “Clearing overgrown land can be a daunting task. Choose the right tool for the job and it can be a breeze! Here are 5 of my favorites that make clearing overgrown land satisfying and fun!” – Grace Campbell

NEVER Throw Away These Items! (Do This Instead) – “If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a corner of the garage or barn where random stuff just piles up. Old jars, bent screws, a cracked garden hose, that washing machine drum you swore you’d do something with. Most people look at that pile and see junk. On a homestead, though, that pile is a goldmine. Every jar, pallet, and stray bolt is a project waiting to happen, something that saves you a trip to the store and keeps perfectly good materials out of the landfill. ” – Olivia Brooks

 

 

 

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Matthew 27:23-25     And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

 

John 19:28-30    After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

THE BIG PICTURE

The Technate of America: The 1940 Nazi Blueprint Behind Trump’s Iran War That Makes My Brain Want to Explode – “Jiang asks the question nobody on cable news has the attention span to ask: if the Middle East oil is gone, where does the replacement come from? Canada. Venezuela. The United States. And who just took Venezuela. And who is threatening Canada. And who tried to buy Greenland. And who had his Secretary of War unveil something called “Greater North America” that claims every nation north of the equator as an American security perimeter. Jiang calls this “the Technate” and says it like he invented the concept over lunch. He didn’t. It has a name. It has a history. It has a map. And here is where things go from “interesting YouTube lecture” to “I need to sit down and possibly throw up.” So why isn’t anyone stopping this? Because 70 million Americans think the front man was sent by Jesus. I voted for Donald Trump twice. He was solid the first time. Probably would’ve been fine the second time. But this isn’t the same man. This is an old man nearing the end who can see what Musk and Thiel are building and is making sure the Trump family has a seat at the new table. The Christianity is the costume.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT TECHNATE OF AMERICA BEFORE, SEE POSTS ON  09/04/25 AND 01/21/26

Academic Study: Why Won’t German Women Mate With Migrants? – “The ongoing Western social engineers’ jihad to deracinate the white race by herding European women into the warm embrace of Third World migrants has not, so far, gone as swimmingly as the architects of globo-homo race communism had hoped. Indeed, the majority of the migrant-native sexual relations in Europe appear to be the non-consensual type. Enter the crack social scientists of EU-funded academia to figure out what went wrong so as to expedite the mongrelization. Of all the war-torn “refugees” fleeing oppression, they all just happen to be horny men who arrive on European soil with no women of their own to fornicate with. What are the odds the demographic migrant cookie crumbles like that — serendipity for the social engineers who aim to force blonde women into the arms of brown carpetbaggers! Anyway, potential obvious reasons German women won’t take up sexual Congress with Syrian migrants, which one doesn’t need an academic study funded by Brussels to determine:” – Ben Bartee

Marco Rubio, Tell Us Again Who The Lunatics Are That Have An Apocalyptic Vision Of The Future – “The lies about Iran emanating from the Trump administration are not only multitudinous; they are malicious and fallacious. It has been confirmed by U.S. intelligence agencies, including by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard under oath before Congress in March 2025 that Iran did NOT possess a nuclear weapon and was NOT pursuing a nuclear weapon. This has been the consistent testimony of our intelligence agencies for at least the last 20 years. Yet, during those same 20 years, Benjamin Netanyahu and Senator Lindsey Graham have been constantly fomenting that Iran is two weeks away from possessing a nuclear weapon. It was all a lie. And the same people who accused Iran of building a nuclear weapon also accused Iran of being the “Number One sponsor of terrorism.” This is likewise a bald-faced lie. Our own State Department identifies Sunni Islam subgroups such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, ISIL, al-Nusra, etc., as leading the list of terrorist organizations. Yet, these are the groups that Donald Trump helped to put in power in Syria, and he continues to fund, arm and train these terrorist organizations.” – Chuck Baldwin

War May Be about to Widen Hyugely – “Has Israel’s nightmare begun? Are we marching relentlessly toward Armageddon?. Now that the Houthis have joined the war and Iran has stated they are tasked with closing the Red Sea, this war could easily become a global catastrophe. We all know how easily this tiny group of dessert rats managed to shut down the Red Sea for all shipping traffic last year. Imagine that both sides of the Arabian peninsula now become shut down to shipping. Now you’re talking a loss of maybe 40% of oil supply being cut off and an enormous amount of other commercial shipping through the Suez Canal.” – David Haggith

Stone Age Bombing – “I watched President Trump’s speech to the nation last night on the Iran War. The lies and boasts flew thick. According to Trump, America is winning and winning big. Under Joe Biden, America was “crippled” and “dead,” but Trump has reanimated the dead and healed it. (An obvious aside: Trump has a serious Christ complex.) From dead and crippled, America is now the meanest, toughest, hombre in the valley. We take what we want and if you resist we’ll bomb you back to the Stone Age.” – Bill Astore

Trump Rides Crazy Train Straight to Hell – “The president threatens to bomb a nation of 93 million people “back to the Stone Age, where they belong.” After listening to President Trump ignominious, incoherent, and depraved address about the Iran War, I racked my brain to think of other leaders in history who combined mendacity, stupidity, and arrogance in such equal measures. I couldn’t think of any other foreign policy utterance in history that matched the lowness of Trump’s..” – John Leake

Iran and Arabia: A Study in Contrasts – “Shared history: divided geograhies, religions and politics. The geopolitical tension between the Arab world and Iran goes far beyond a contemporary dispute over resources or borders; it is rooted in millennia of distinct historical trajectories, a religious schism dating back over 1,400 years, and a stark contrast in how statehood itself was forged.” – Ashes of Pompeii

“Make A Deal Before It’s Too Late”: Trump Threatens Tehran (Again) As Iran/Oman Draft Protocol To Re-Open Hormuz – “World’s most important oil price hits record high as Trump threatens Iran:” – Tyler Durden

Pam Bondi ousted as attorney general, source says – “She will be replaced for now by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who will serve as acting attorney general, Trump said. The president wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration and offering no specific reason for why she would be leaving.” – Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins and Hannah Rabinowitz – ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pam Bondi’s Two Gigantic Failures Overshadowed Her Middle Management Skills or Fox News Appearances – “There is a particular irony in Pam Bondi’s departure from the Justice Department that the political class seems determined not to discuss. She was confirmed as Attorney General last February with the explicit mandate to restore discipline, accountability, and purpose to a department that had spent four years operating as the enforcement arm of progressive political ambition. By every measure of institutional loyalty, she delivered. The first reason she’s gone is a bit complicated. She couldn’t get any high-profile indictments or arrests to stick. None of them. The second, bigger reason she’s gone is not complicated at all, and it has nothing to do with the usual Washington parlor game of “palace intrigue.” Bondi was removed because she committed what is, in this administration, the cardinal sin: she managed a high-profile political liability with all the grace of a man trying to defuse a bomb with oven mitts. The Epstein files debacle — a slow-motion disaster of mismanagement, contradictory statements, and stagecraft that backfired spectacularly ” – JD Rucker

Trump polled advisers about replacing Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief – “Exclusive: Pressure intensifies for Gabbard after president’s displeasure with Iran war testimony” – Hugo Lowel

Gulf States Considering Network Of New Pipelines To Bypass Strait Of Hormuz – Tyler Durden

The US Is Making A Play For Belarus’ Most Strategic Export – “Average consumers across the world have probably never purchased anything from Belarus, but among the agricultural industry, its potash – a high-quality fertilizer – is globally renowned. Not only is it very effective, but it’s also plentiful, with Belarus accounting for 15.9% of total production. This makes it the world’s third-largest producer. The West imposed sanctions on Belarus’ most strategic export after summer 2020’s failed Color Revolution, but the US just removed its sanctions in late March.” – Andrew Korybko

It’s Past Time To Privatize The Post Office – “The USPS in its current form needs to be put out of its misery. The USPS now is the predictable outcome of trying to run a massive logistics operation through a government bureaucracy that moves slowly, resists change, and answers more to politics than to performance. Even Amazon, a company that started as an online bookstore (what could be less efficient to ship than godd*mn books — bricks?), has figured out how to build a better delivery network. Meanwhile, visits to post offices have fallen off a cliff, but the system has barely shrunk its footprint. Labor costs remain enormous, productivity lags, and the workforce is structured in ways that prioritize stability over efficiency. The contrast with private carriers like FedEx and UPS could not be clearer.They have built systems that deliver packages faster, track them more precisely, and adapt to changing demand almost in real time. ” – Quoth the Raven

The Market Law Of One Price—How The Donald Bombed Energy Consumers, Too – “The Donald plunged into one hell of a hornets nest when he took the bait from Bibi Netanyahu and launched an all out “kinetic” war on Iran (as distinguished from the brutal economic war Washington has been waging for decades). But now that the gasoline pump price has breached $4/gallon and is heading higher, he’s desperately looking for an off-ramp.” – David Stockman

The Forgotten Shade Crop “Big Timber” Tried to Bury… And Why It Belongs in Your Backyard Right Now – “There’s a berry bush thriving in backyards across Europe that most Americans have never tasted, never planted, and in many cases, never even heard of. That’s not by accident — it was pushed out of sight. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Every gardening book you’ve ever read drills the same rule into your head: fruit needs full sun. Six to eight hours minimum. More is better. It’s repeated so often it feels like a law of nature — as predictable as frost in November. But then along comes a plant that quietly breaks that rule.” – Bill Heid

In a real crisis, whether you are dealing with a storm outage, a rushed evacuation, a sick family member, civil unrest, or just the grinding stress of staying alert when everything feels unstable, sleep can disappear faster than most people expect.

THE BIG PICTURE

And the game goes on – “Oh perhaps I’m all wrong, I don’t know. But so it is that people are doing as expected and indeed with reason: complaining about the price of groceries (which are outrageous) so that they can start a pilot project of a government-owned and operated grocery store in Toronto; complaining about the price of houses (which is also outrageous but dropping dramatically) and the number of emigrants coming in looking for houses competing with native-born, and the homeless crisis (all of which are real), so they can eventually provide government-owned and operated housing; Oh, there’s more of course but I’m old and tired and can’t list everything really. It would take a book or twelve. It all seems so militarily centralized doesn’t it? Or am I seeing things again?” – Sylvia Shawcross  – GOOD ONE FROM SYLVIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Threats to U.S. National Security – “No, Not Iran. Iran has no capability to strike at the U.S. directly, and even if it had, Iranian leaders know that any attack on the U.S. would likely provoke a massively destructive U.S. response that would make the current war look like a schoolyard skirmish. So, looking dispassionately, what are truly the biggest threats to U.S. national security?” – Bill Astore

3 Truths When Spiritual Strength Turns Mushy – “Sometimes our faith can be on fire one minute and a puff of smoke the next.” – Kate Dreston

Non-Irish Gone Wild: Hail the Synagogue of Satan – “Exposed for all the world to see. As we sink deeper into the inexorable Middle East quagmire, it’s increasingly obvious that a tiny but influential segment of our population is more emboldened than ever. The non-Irish, as I prefer to call them, have dropped all pretenses. The leadership of the magical Two Percent is growing more strident, more entitled, and less likeable. I guess that can happen if a superiority complex is instilled in you from childhood. What could be more impressive to put on your resume, than that you are one of God’s “chosen” people? The world’s perpetual victims aren’t satisfied. They want us to destroy all the other countries in the Middle East. They aren’t going to scrap the Greater Israel Project. ” – Donald Jeffries

International Polio Fools’ Day: The original 1941 “isolation” of “poliovirus 1” was a coverup of botched tonsillectomies… and much more. – “The story of Mahoney-baloney… dedicated to Polio Fools worldwide” – Sasha Latypova.

Time to Tune Out Spyworld – “We frogs have been boiling so long, few notice the heat. A major unreported consequence of our acceptance of the fact that both private and public actors analyze our every digital move has been a steady devaluing of privacy. All surveillance states assume the person attempting to retain private thoughts or beliefs must be guilty of something, and since 9/11 both major parties have come to embrace that underlying premise with a vengeance. Every click, post, or right turn now is recorded by surveillance institutions, and we’re drowning in political media that never, ever shuts the fuck up.” – Matt Taibbi

Vaccine definition broadened to push new therapeutics – “Vaccines will be redefined in Australia, paving the way for emerging technologies like monoclonal antibodies and mRNA therapeutics to be listed on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) alongside traditional vaccines. The National Health Amendment (Passive Immunological Products) Bill 2026, passed in the Senate this morning, changes the legal definition of ‘vaccine’ to include passive immunisation products, which give your body pre-made antibodies. The current definition of vaccines only encompasses ‘active’ immunisation products which teach your body to fight a disease by provoking an immune response. The change will be a boon for pharmaceutical companies,” – Rebekah Barnett

Trump Spins New Goals for his War, Denies the Ones he already Talked about as He Hints at Rushing for the Exit – “So much winning, it’s hard to pick the exit. Trump is making overtures of ending his war before he has accomplished any of the objectives he waved around during the war’s first few weeks. Ironically, he has longtime warmonger Lindsay Graham encouraging him to shut it down quickly.” – David Haggith

Trump Threatens to Leave NATO, Chastises European Allies – “Trump threatens to leave NATO if allies don’t help reopen the strait. But it’s not his decision.” – Mish

Is Trump planning a ground invasion of Iran on Good Friday? – “The president’s ‘weaponised unpredictability’ is destabilising for the Middle East and the world — but there is a growing feeling that it is a ploy to buy time” – David Charter,

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Stress Fractures and Growing Desperation – “Iran destroyed an AWACS spy plane at Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Well, there goes at least $500 million up in smoke. How much more of this winning can the Empire take? I guess we’ll find out. Our Mad Emperor seems to be determined to find out the hard way, by launching a ground invasion of Iran. Just in case the Trump Administration fails to wreck the ship of Empire on the shoals of ancient Persia, there’s a backup plan: Operation Total Extermination. I swear I can’t make this shit up. That’s the name of the operation to arm the Ecuadoran military to the teeth and drop bombs on all its borders to kill druggies, which means druggies who aren’t paid by the CIA.” – Ohio Barbarian  -THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP, GOOD READING AS USUAL!!!

The Iran War You’re Not Hearing About – “Inside the clandestine effort to bring about regime change. “Our objectives here from the very beginning had nothing to do with the leadership,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera yesterday, denying once again that the Trump administration is seeking a change in governments. It’s a pretty weird thing to say given that the opening salvo of the now month-long war was to target the leadership in Tehran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and numerous others at the top lev” – Ken Klippenstein

The Trump Economic Effect – Make America’s Billionaires Bigger Again – “The Strait of Hormuz remains shuttered from every western country with perhaps the exception of Spain. As officials walk out of Military pow-wows shaking their heads in disgust, it appears Hegseth’s advisors have zero strategy with regard to a ground invasion. A suicide mission. Today, Trump has declared the EU must figure out its own means of dealing with Iran given America doesn’t need the Strait… Except America is the reason it is closed. Now Trump is telling Europe they have a choice either buy from America or buy from Russia. Of course, Trump’s specific actions caused that Brent Crude price to spike over $108 settling at $103.7 from its 2025 price of $61. NOT including massive shipping fees from America to Europe – adding an additional near $4 per barrel. Russia has already realigned its clients with India representing a significant increase.” – Helena Glass

TAXES = DEATH: The IRS Just Contracted Palantir To Build An AI‑Driven Audit‑Selection Tool – “The criminal IRS just awarded Palantir a $1.8 million contract on March 6, 2026, for an AI tool called SNAP to prioritize “high-value” audit targets, which in short order will be weaponized against all Americans. The hiring of perhaps the single most dangerous NWO globopedo BigTech company by the Trump administration to help enforce the collection of unconstitutional “income” taxes for the upcoming AI-driven social credit score digital gulag nightmare dystopia is especially troubling.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Put simply, this is the first legitimate opportunity the bulls have to take the reins since the war in Iran began. And while the setup is decent for stocks, things look much more compelling for precious metals and precious metals miners.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Silver: Do I Buy, Do I Sell, or Do I Do Nothing? – “Everyone’s asking the same question right now—and for once, it’s the right one. Silver isn’t trending cleanly up or down. It’s sitting right on a decision level, and what you do here matters more than what you did at $120 or $50. This is where positioning gets separated from guessing.” – Kerry Lutz

I remember thinking this was one of his weird habits, like the way he’d spit on his hands before grabbing the axe. Years later, I’m out building my own fence line and I catch myself reaching for a coffee can without even thinking about it. In reality, my grandpa wasn’t being strange. Actually, he was a genius.

THE BIG PICTURE

The Staged ‘War’ Between the U.S., Israel, and Iran Is a Trap – “What began by looking like a simple and horrible ‘war’ of brutal aggression against Iran by the U.S on orders from Zionist Israel, has now shown its real colors. It has become impossible to view this as any real ‘war,’ and it has become obvious that this strategy, all these false flags; are at best a coordinated effort by those globalist oligarchs striving to digitize, starve, and control the world through technocratic means. This is all being played out with a particular script meant to achieve multiple agendas, nefarious all, and to in essence, figuratively capture and cage all of the masses, taking control by psychological, digital, and physical measures to eliminate much of society while taming and altering the rest. All of this is contingent on eliminating the individual.” – Gary D. Barnett

Death Throes of the American Empire – “Iran Might Take it All Down. The American empire approaches a tipping point. The 2026 US-Iran war threatens the dollar’s dominance and the established global order. Every empire comes to an end, often to the sound of applause. Sometimes a new order is formed to pick up the pieces. Sometimes the transition is marked by global chaos, nationalism, and isolationism.” – Sarah Connor

President Trump’s Ballroom Is Cover for the Biggest AI Data Center in the World – “FDR did it. GWB did it. Now DJT is doing it and this is the most consequential White House move in decades. Follow the Money Into the Ground: the donor list deserves scrutiny not because it represents corruption, but because it reveals the project’s actual architecture. Among the 37 confirmed donors are Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Meta — the full constellation of American cloud computing. Also present: Booz Allen Hamilton, which generates 98 percent of its revenue from U.S. government contracts and specializes in intelligence and data analytics. And most telling: Palantir Technologies and Lockheed Martin. ” – JD Rucker

Canadian Parliament Passes Hate Crime Law That Could Fine And Jail Residents For Quoting The Bible And Promoting Antisemitism – “Free speech and freedom of religion are now under grave threat and scrutiny after the Canadian Parliament passed a bill allowing for the criminalization of religious beliefs, specifically when quoting passages from The Bible. On March 26th, the Canadian House passed Bill C-9, Combating Hate Act” – The WinePress

New Bill Opens Door for Killer AI Weapons—Pentagon Can Override Ban and Deploy Autonomous Lethal Systems – “Waiver clause grants a single Pentagon official the power to authorize AI-driven lethal force under “national security” conditions, with Congress only notified after the factJon” – Jon Fleetwood

The Cult of American Exceptionalism – “American exceptionalism is often mistaken for a political policy, but it is actually a form of religion, a semi-secular cult. It demands faith rather than evidence. While frequently associated with the political right, its core tenets permeate the entire American psyche, including some on the left who claim to oppose the status quo. Above all, stands the absolute conviction of most Americans, but especially the ruling class, that America is divinely graced, on this earth to lead humanity towards prosperity and light. Chosen by God!” – Ashes of Pompeii

The Sound of an Empty Chamber – “In the final scene of 1950’s Saturday-afternoon Westerns, the bad-guy pulled the trigger and the only sound from his revolver was the click on an empty chamber. He ran out of bullets—only to meet his fate. That what’s happening in wars perpetuated by the US/Israel. Each has an outcome determined by number of troops—and more importantly, ammunition. For example, in Ukraine, Russia fires 8X more artillery than Ukraine (NATO)—hence 8X more Ukrainians die. There’s a difference. In Ukraine, the Russian strategy is well thought-out. In Iran, the US/Israel has no strategy. If they have a strategy, it’s to create chaos—a strategy devoid of military intelligence, having to rely on decapitation strikes and carpet-bombing. And because Iran is proving to be resilient, US bombing targets are increasingly—war crimes on civilians.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Trump Signals Final Sadistic Punishment as Consolation For Lost War “If you must end it emptily, end it loudly.” – Simplicius

‘Burn It Down’: Destruction Of Persian Gulf Energy & Fertilizer Production Capacity – “What Is The Primary Goal Of The Attack On Iran? With the daily flip-flopping that we see, the marketing of the war effort has become a farce. Apparently. However, as mentioned previously, the vast scale of the Iranian military’s missile and drone programs were well known before the attack began as was Iran’s resulting attacks on countries supporting the US/Israeli effort. Nobody was shocked. It is thus no surprise that today oil and LNG production and shipping facilities are on fire throughout the Gulf and that production, refining, and shipping capacity will likely be impaired for years to come if things go well.” – David Jensen

Trump lashes out at UK and France, telling allies ‘the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore – Holly Ellyatt and Kevin Breuninger

Gangster Trump The Rhetoric of Obliteration – “Nice country you have there, Iran. It’d be a shame if you lost it. That’s the gist of Donald Trump’s recent threats to Iran on “Truth Social.” It’s hard to exaggerate how demented this post is. So, the Iran War is a war of “retribution”? The U.S. is butchering and killing because allegedly the Iranians have “butchered and killed”? And the Don is going to “obliterate” Iran’s power grid and possibly desalinization plants as well, possibly killing millions of innocents over time, because Iran has quite predictably exerted control over the Strait of Hormuz?” – Bill Astore

Hijacking Religion: How the Pentagon Turned the Sermon on the Mount into a War Manual. – “The language of modern government is the language of empire. It is the language of domination, retaliation, conquest and control—of enemies to be crushed, nations to be subdued, and dissenters to be silenced. Under the Trump Administration, the language of empire has also been imbued with a religious fervor that recasts Jesus Christ—not as a peacemaker—but as a mascot for power, conquest and control. War has been dressed up in patriotism. Wrapped in Scripture. Called “righteous.” Marketed as “peace through strength.” But this is not a holy war. It is a political war dressed up as holy.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Trump Still Trumped – “Reality speaks louder than the president who keeps tying his own words in knots. First, on the main subject, the president continued today to boast about how well negotiations are going, Iran continues to say everything he says about negotiations is a lie.” – David Haggith

Is Israel behind “Iran-backed terror cell” targeting Europe? (VIDEO) – Wyatt Reed / The Grayzone

In widening NATO spat, Rubio calls for the alliance to be “reexamined” while Trump tells U.K. and other allies that “the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore. – “We’re in the middle of another NATO spat. The Americans are accusing the Europeans of disloyalty and ungratefulness, while the Europeans are quietly (or, in the case of Spain, not-so-quietly) criticising the Iran war and preparing for the looming energy crisis. Spain was the first NATO ally to deny the United States access to the jointly operated Rota and Morón air bases for Operation Epic Fury.” – eugyppius

Trump Goes Commando – “Iran “raid” replaces ground war and you’re supposed to clap. Most Americans are bracing for a massive ground invasion of Iran, one that military sources tell me will not happen. That’s because there’s another plan entirely. What’s in store is a “raid,” all of these sources agree. Of course, it all depends on what Donald Trump orders, and sources say they don’t know what that might be on any given day. So they offer the White House different alternatives,” – Ken Klippenstein

Renowned trends forecaster Gerald Celente predicts Trump won’t order ground invasion of Iran unless… – “He suggests that only one thing could force Trump’s hand to do the unthinkable and launch full-fledged ground invasion” – Leo Hohmann

US Treasury Launches ‘Office Of The Whistleblower,’ Encourages Americans Report Fraud And Snitch On Churches, Bessent To Offer Cash Rewards “President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters.” – The WinePress   – WHICH CONGRESSMAN DO WE START WITH FIRST!!!!

The Kiev grifter regime taps the Gulf war racket – “When Ukraine’s puppet president shows up anywhere, one should immediately suspect a scam in the making. Corruption follows this con artist and his crony regime like a bad smell. His schtick of turning up at summits begging for more Western taxpayer billions has grown tiresome and, frankly, a bit implausible given the embezzlement scandals that the Kiev regime is mired in. But, fear not, the grifter machine that passes for an unelected presidency in Ukraine has found an exciting new diversification for export markets. The trouble is that this capitalist business model has quite a few holes in it, if one cares to look. Five weeks of war in the Middle East have created a profitable business opportunity.” – Finian Cunningham

Ukraine’s Strikes Against Russian Oil Refineries Risk Worsening The Global Energy Crisis – “The further reduction of Russian oil exports could lead to a price spike that destabilizes the global economy and ultimately weakens the US’ one as well, but it’s unclear whether Trump will punish Zelensky for this or if he cynically wants him to facilitate that scenario as part of a global reset.” – Andrew Korybko

Farm Action’s Letter to Congress, Lambasting the Concentration of Fertilizer Makers and its Impact on Prices – “Waves of mergers and acquisitions across food and agriculture have funneled power into the hands of a few dominant corporations. Their unchecked integration has hollowed out competition, giving them outsized control over how Americans farm, work, and eat,” – Wolf Richter

The “Good News” Is Always the Same: the Stock Market Is Up–Until It Isn’t – Charles Hugh Smith

THE US IS INSOLVENT THE DEBT CAN NEVER BE REPAID – After a strong rise over the past few years, a correction has naturally raised doubts. But focusing on short-term movements risks missing the broader reality. Because precious metals are not driven by sentiment or market timing. They are driven by the underlying condition of the financial system itself. And that condition is best understood through one simple lens: debt. Over the past decades, US debt has not grown linearly, but exponentially—” – Egon von Greyerz

How Prepper OPSEC Mistakes Turn You Into a Target – “Most preppers spend years quietly building their supplies, skills, and plans. They invest real money in food storage, water filtration, communications gear, and defensive tools. Then, in a single unguarded conversation with the wrong person, or through one too many posts on a public social media account, all of that careful work gets exposed. Operational security, commonly called OPSEC, is what stands between your preparations and the people who would take them from you when things go sideways.” – David Andrew Brown

They are a centuries-old engineering solution to a real and permanent problem: how do you keep chickens alive, productive, and secure without electricity, synthetic materials, or factory infrastructure?” – Ask A Prepper Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

Dr Robert Malone quits the CDC, says there may be a MOLE inside the Agency – “I’m not a Malone fan. Never have been. Nevertheless…he just resigned from his job on the CDC vaccine advisory committee, quit the Agency, after, according to him, Kennedy asked him to stay. Malone obviously thinks the CDC is a major mess and can’t be redeemed. He cites constant bickering and internal sabotage. And about the mole? I’d be shocked if there was just one at the CDC.” – Jon Rappoport -PERHAPS MR.MALONE IS THE REAL MOLE!!!

Rothschild – Create An Empire Funding ALL Sides via 5D Chess- “President Trump defers his military strategy in Iran to podcaster Mark Levin. Mark Levin states American young men will sacrifice their lives for the statehood of Israel while supporting genocide of Palestine and Lebanon. The Trump influencers cheer chaos and death believing it is all 5D Chess. Rothschild funds wars, it funds banks, it funds NGO’s whose sole purpose is to disrupt society, divide society, and create internal riots. They are not democrat or republican, they are the remnants of a rewritten history. They funded Hitler. Bolsheviks. FDR, Churchill and Reagan. Hitler was supposed to win WWII. General Patton didn’t get the memo. Now Trump has the memo: Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Greenland, Canada.” – Helena Glass

Rothschild Agents, Iran & the Coming Civil Wars ( VIDEO) with Brigadier General Blaine Holt (Ret) and EM Burlingame – “EM says that he believes Joe Kent resigned so publicly three weeks ago because the latter believed that President Trump was “under duress” from the interests pushing for war in the Middle East and that he wanted the President and those in power to know that the Special Operations community does not support a war with Iran. He says that after 30 years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc, and going further back to Vietnam, the veteran community is extremely bitter about the false premises and the futility of these campaigns and how while they were putting their lives on the line,” – Forbidden.News

Illinois Bill Turns Hospitals Into Mass Influenza Shot Intake Points for Every Adult, Mandates Universal Identification and Targeting System – “SB3487 expands influenza targeting from age 50+ to 18+, requiring hospitals to systematically identify and offer flu shots to every adult patient.” – Jon Fleetwood

€170 Billion of Irish Savings Directed to War – “The savings of the nation amounts to 170 billion euros resting on deposit in various banks, credit unions and financial institutions. The European Union through an EU Commission body named The Savings and Investments Union are very eager to unlock all of this cash and prise it away from Irish peoples savings and personal accounts.” – Gerry O’Neil  – THE BANKSTERS AT WORK!!!!

CV19 Vax Causes Explosion in Cancer (VIDEO) withDr. Betsy Eads – ” I told you that there was going to be an explosion of cancer. This is all cause cancer, hematological and solid tumors in five years. Well, it’s 2026. It’s been five years, and the latest graph shows for 2026 an explosion for hematological cancers and solid tumor cancers, and that is just through February of 2026.” – Greg Hunter

Did GOF monkey escape in 2024 create a deadly epidemic in South Carolina? – “No. Did you think “GOF viruses” leak from labs and cause illness? LOLs, Do you want to know what’s up with that “deadly meningitis outbreak in the UK”? Here it is. It’s another fake news headline, and an infomercial for a yet another stupid and poisonous vaccine:” – Sasha Latypova.

Springtime for RINOs – “Went to the No Kings assemblies in my town and the next nearby town on Saturday. Mental illness as far as the eye could see. Old folks, too, as far as the eye could see, predominately of the female persuasion: the devouring grandmothers. The Democratic Party has marshalled mental illness as its premier campaign strategy, and lately it is winning bigly around the country as mental illness becomes the go-to cope option for the ragged remnants of Boomerdom. They believe things that are patently insane, for instance, the latest proposal by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) that illegal immigrants deserve reparations on account of being “traumatized” by U.S. immigration enforcement actions. If it feels like the Democratic Party is at war with our country you are not hallucinating. The president gets no help whatsoever from his own party, as you see in the disgraceful hijinks around the urgent issue of election reform.” – James Howard Kunstler

‘No Kings’ cost cities billions In police overtime – “No specific cost estimates have been released for policing the Court Jesters (No Kings) protests, according to chatGPT. There are, however, reasonable estimates that reach over $2-billion. That’s quite a large sum for a crowd that, just months ago, was calling to defund police.” – Kenn Gividen

Two Weeks To An Iranian Nuke—The Ultimate False Flag Lie – “The now endlessly repeated notion that Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium (HEU) is tantamount to having a nuclear weapon within weeks is downright malefic. Indeed, this gross deception is so thoroughly fallacious and dangerously misleading that it needs be debunked lock, stock and barrel. So we begin with the War Party’s hoary claim that the roughly 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium possessed by Iran as of May 2025, according to the IAEA, could have been further processed to weapons-grade levels (90 percent or higher) in a matter of a few days or weeks using existing centrifuge cascades. And, then, poof, they would supposedly have had ten nukes. Actually, they would not have had any nuclear bombs at all. Not even remotely.” – David Stockman

DEEPER LIES: Trump Displacement Syndrome Hits MAGA in Bitter Outrage over Betrayals – “The Iran War is defeating President Trump as lies upon lies are no longer working for him in markets or with supporters.” – David Haggith

The Worse the War, the More the Lies -“The Danger of Dishonest Wannabe Warlords. Donald Trump once described himself as “a very stable genius.” He doth promote too much. Trump’s defining qualities are by now well established: he’s a narcissist, a bully, an empty vessel that makes plenty of noise, and a habitual liar.” – Bill Astore

Either John Thune Leads the Senate and Ends the Filibuster, or JD Vance Needs to Step In – “The SAVE America Act cannot wait on procedural timidity. Senate Republicans have one senator to convince — and if their Majority Leader won’t do it, the President of the Senate must.” – JD Rucker

It Happened Again – “The story and characters are painfully predictable. An 18 year old White kid named Seth Jackson, shown below with his parents…….sees a friend being attacked by a group of “teens”…well, let’s dispense with the euphemisms,.” – Arthur Sido

Rubio’s Sharp Rebuke Of Zelensky Clarified A Crucial Nuance – “Secretary of State Marco Rubio sharply rebuked Zelensky for claiming last week that the US promised Ukraine security guarantees in exchange for withdrawing from Donbass. In his words, “That’s a lie. I saw him say that and it’s unfortunate he would say that, because he knows that’s not true. What he was told is the obvious: security guarantees are not going to kick in until there’s an end to a war, because otherwise you’re getting yourself involved in the war.” This clarified a crucial nuance.” – Andrew Korybko

At the same time, U.S. business activity has slowed to an eleven-month low. On their own, each of those might be manageable. Together, they tell a more complicated story.” – Peter Reagan

Global Energy Crisis Or Iranian Surrender In Five Weeks? – “In the case of the Strait of Hormuz, any direct damage to America is minimal. Only 7% of all oil shipments to the US actually travel through the Homruz, and, Venezuelan oil is helping to fill that gap.

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

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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. The Iranians invented and developed the small attack drone niche, the Russians copied it with their Gerans, and now even the USA is belatedly copying it with the Lucas. 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. This year’s conference opened with the very Republican-looking host asking his conservative Republican audience, Trump voters one and all, if they supported the impeachment of Donald Trump, and hilarity ensued because material reality.” – Ohio Barbarian

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 next maritime hot zone: Why the Red Sea can’t escape the Iran crisis – “Rising tension around Iran is elevating the Red Sea from a secondary theater to a critical axis of global trade” – Samir Bhattacharya

Donbass’ Final Status Is Reportedly The Last Main Stumbling Block To Peace – “Provided that Zelensky and Ukrainskaya Pravda right before him are telling the truth, then it looks like the most meaningful elements of a Russian-Ukrainian peace deal and subsequent Russian-US “New Détente” were already agreed to in Anchorage, but contingent on Ukraine withdrawing from Donbass.” – Andrew Korybko

So, this is a reset of the positioning, and they have shaken out a lot.

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. Everyone’s Israel First has now essentially destroyed America and the legacy pill is on Trump. Israeli refugees claim they want to come to America. While America is sending our boys to Iran to be killed to preserve the Epstein pedophiles from certain castration.” – Helena Glass

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

Cult Classics – “Too many things are out of whack. Some are actually breaking. A physics of events is at work that will bring our affairs back to true, but expect it to be painful. Okay, you’ve been warned.  Asia, especially, suffers bigly with the Persian Gulf shut-down. Europe, for years, has garishly, and in plain sight, planned its own journey to a de-industrialized neo-medieval Palookaville. We have way more to worry about here in America with our own apocalyptic coteries and claques. And our broken institutions. Is it not obvious that the Democratic Party exists now solely to punish half of the country that would prefer to not wreck our republic? The Democratic Party has no other program. Now consider those figures and factions in the Republican Party who won’t lift a finger to allow election reform. Tomorrow, Saturday, brings another Neville Roy Singham production of “No Kings” demos across the nation, a field-day for the senile. They want to abolish ICE. They want illegal aliens to stay here and they want them in the voting booth. Go out and ask them why that’s a good idea.” – James Howard Kunstler

Inside the Criminal Gangs Planning to Steal 2026 – “I am re-running my stolen election pieces while the SAVE Act languishes in the Senate. The fact that it is not passed, indicates that both R and D are fully compromised. The Democrats are lost, but RINOs need primarying hard. They are like the politicians in Canada who won’t stop MAID. We need MAID up here because our health system is so overburdened we need people to die. And Fast.” – Elizabeth Nickson

What Will It Take? – ” I would say that voting doesn’t matter, that we should all just accept the fact that our government is at war with its people and that can be true, but electing people like Mamdani in NY is not the answer either and that forces us into the voting booth, because we know the aims and purposes of the left. 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

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

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

$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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
