What Once Explained Everything Now Explains Nothing – “If we believe substituting self-serving cover stories for a truly realistic appraisal is going to generate real solutions, that is the ultimate delusion.

Empire at 250: Can the Principles of 1776 Survive the American Police State? – “This is a year of strange anniversaries. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a band of revolutionaries declared their independence from a king. America’s founders rejected concentrated power. They denounced standing armies. They distrusted government secrecy. They risked their lives to escape a ruler who could tax without consent, wage war without accountability, and govern without meaningful restraint. Twenty-five years ago, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, America embarked on a very different journey. The federal government claimed extraordinary emergency powers. Surveillance expanded. Wars multiplied. Executive authority grew. Constitutional safeguards were weakened in the name of security. One anniversary marked a revolt against empire. The other marked the normalization of it.” – John & Nisha Whitehead – JOHN, SPOT ON AS USUAL!!!!!

Commission Report Implicates Israel in Genocide of Children – “Deliberate targeting of children is a key element establishing genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces. The report documents severe physical and mental injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood, separation, disability, repeated displacements, starvation, and the collapse of education and healthcare have erased childhood and will continue to affect children in Gaza throughout their lives, a wide range of crimes Zionist Israel vehemently denies despite an abundance of evidence to the contrary.” – Kurt Nimmo

Fed Talks Tough But Money Supply Explodes Higher – Peter Schiff

Are American Consumers Actually “Resilient?” – “This resiliency, however, could mean at least two different things. On the one hand, it could signal that households are earning enough money to maintain — or even grow — their standard of living. On the other hand, it could signal that they are borrowing to cover growing gaps, taking their falling real income, and kicking the can down the road. Would you like to take a guess as to which might be happening currently? ” – Antón Chamberlin

Enjoy These Gas Prices For Now – Cushing Crude Inventories Enter Critical Zone – David Jensen

America’s Hidden Gold Switch – And the Silver Supercharge Waiting Behind It – “There is a line in the Federal Reserve’s own accounting manual that, once understood, changes how you see this entire moment in monetary history. In Section 2.10 of the Financial Accounting Manual for Federal Reserve Banks, the Fed describes the Gold Certificate Account – the way the U.S. Treasury “monetizes” its gold by issuing certificates to the Federal Reserve Banks. When the official price of gold is changed, Treasury “adjusts the account and, simultaneously, the deposit account.” Read that again: once the official price is changed, the Fed must re-mark its books, and Treasury’s balance at the Fed moves with it. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s the operational wiring for a gold revaluation – an overnight repricing of the United States’ 261.5 million ounces of gold from the archaic statutory value in the low $40s per ounce toward a number that actually matters.” – The Silver Academy

This fascistic moment ( with VIDEO) – “A brilliant video reveals dark rumblings of discontent. LOTS of people are talking about “Storm” — a seven-and-a-half-minute film directed by Romain Gavras that features the Swedish rapper Yung Lean (Jonatan Leandoer Håstad, his stage name is a play on words: lean is a recreational street drug made by mixing prescription cough syrup with soda and hard candy). The video consists of two parts — “Storm I” which is a short drama set in an all-boys school and “Storm II” that includes stunning choreography by Damien Jalet. Let’s start with Storm II because that’s the clip that is generating the most discussion.” – Toby Rogers

cranky again – “Oh I do sometimes have to acknowledge my profound stupidity about Socialism. I certainly basically understood it to be at its heart a great levelling where wealth was evenly distributed from the rich to the poor. That has always been the theory that always seems to have failed catastrophically with millions dead by the end of it. The “it’s going to be different this time,” has never worked. So I don’t quite get this country’s direction at all. It seems that the middle class and the poor are paying for everything while the rich get richer. In fact the poor are paying for the rich to do so.” – Sylvia Shawcross  -GOOD ONE FROM SYLVIA!!!!

FCC Wants to Kill Burner Phones By Forcing Telecoms to Get All Customers’ IDs – “The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones—a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase—which would impact privacy-conscious people, to domestic abuse survivors, to journalists, and many more. The FCC plans to do this by legally forcing the country’s telecoms to store a wealth of personal information about essentially all phone customers, including a government issued identification number and their physical address,” – Joseph Cox

Work for free, feed on the sun – “When leaders forget their job is to serve the people, ordinary suffering becomes a punchline, a sermon, or a problem to be managed. Marie Antoinette almost certainly never said, “Let them eat cake,” but the line has endured because it captures a universal and persistent truth: rulers can become so insulated from hunger, prices, wages, and daily survival that ordinary suffering becomes invisible to them. Which brings us to Yemen, where a decade of war and political fracture has left hundreds of thousands of public sector workers — teachers, doctors, civil servants — without regular pay.” – Collapse Life

Escalation Without Dominance: The Dangerous Gap Between American Firepower and Influence – “For over a century, the United States enjoyed a unique geopolitical luxury called escalation dominance. Except for the Soviet Union, Washington could consistently threaten to raise the stakes in any military conflict, knowing it could easily outgun any opponent on the battlefield. Washington projected power globally because it possessed the capacity to inflict catastrophic damage while remaining largely insulated from the consequences. Today, literally today in Geneva, that specific historical era has definitively and offically ended.” – Ashes of Pompeii

The Denver Post’s Wolf Pup Problem – “When the facts become inconvenient, the image often tells a different story. No reasonable person believes a wolf pup was attacking cattle. The livestock attacks that have become increasingly common since Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program began are carried out by adult wolves. Adult wolves kill livestock because that is what wolves do. They are predators. They are not Disney characters. They are not plush toys. They are apex carnivores. Yet readers were presented with an image carefully designed to evoke sympathy rather than reality.” – Brian C. Joondeph

So long, Starmer. – “Yay, I guess. There goes our sixth “leader” in ten years, and in comes our seventh. I know some quarters – on both right and left – will be going full Holy Grail… But I can’t bring myself to care about what is, at absolute best, a PR exercise. The only real change is that, moving forward, I will likely be italicizing the word “Sir” a lot less. As always, when there’s a leadership change, people will rush to talk about “legacy”. But Starmer doesn’t have one. He’s just sort of there. The process that started before he arrived carried one while he was there, and will continue after he’s gone.” – Kit Knightly

The 5th Circuit Just Lit the Fuse on the Next Big Second Amendment Fight – “Most non-shooters don’t get how a firearm suppressor (often incorrectly called a silencer) works. Too many stupid television shows and movies have a shooter screwing a small object the size of a flash hider onto the barrel of a pistol or rifle, then firing the piece with a barely audible thwip. That’s not how it works. Europe, hunters routinely use suppressors to avoid annoying people with loud reports; they are considered more or less a requirement. Here in the United States, though, they are (stupidly) regulated in the same manner as fully-automatic weapons under the 1934 National Firearms Act.” – Ward Clark

Health, Fitness, and The End Of The World – “There’s a stereotype of preppers, and it’s not kind: A middle aged or older man with a BMI that passed 30 before he was 30 and grew by 1% every year, a ton of guns, canned food, and a half-hearted vegetable garden. I know because I resemble that. As I’ve been struggling to recover my health, I’ve had a few realizations that have kept me on the path to fitness. Health is something money can’t buy. Ultimately, whether you’re healthy and fit is a question of discipline and commitment. Having children or dependents should serve as inspiration for the average prepper to do more than just go to the range and plink at blue helmet cutouts. ” – D.F.

Empires End in Military Hubris – “Trump is an ego-driven fool, unknowingly writing himself into a Shakespearean tragedy. I keep hoping, against hope, he will wake up to the reality but, seemingly, he does not.

Fathers Are The Standard – “In my experience, people want their fathers to be proud of them. Fathers are the standard. Fathers are our first benchmark for what constitutes excellence.

Fathers are presumed to set the example, and to point out the good path to their children.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Bill of Rights Museum – “Lysander Spooner said it plainly in 1867: the Constitution has no authority over anyone who never consented to it. At the time, people thought he was being provocative. A century and a half later, the evidence is on his side.

The Bill of Rights is still printed. It’s just not particularly enforced. And the gap between what the Constitution says and what Washington actually does has grown so wide that at some point you have to ask Spooner’s question: Was the document ever really in charge? Let’s go through the evidence.” – Sean Ring

Whereas, Moscow is more focused on the respite that the Steve Witkoff – Jared Kushner negotiating team would now have to turn their attention to the Ukraine issue.

It only becomes preparedness once you’ve actually proven, with your own hands, that you can use it. Camping, fishing, and hunting are all great ways to relax and spend time with the family. They’re also great ways to improve your survival and preparedness related skills, and most people sleep on that second part entirely. ” – Off Grid Survival

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I’ve seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle
Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine
Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind
And I don’t remember church bells, or the money i put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
On the house at the end of town
Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called my name

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

Many years since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She always handy with a song
But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland

 ( Dixie Chicken by Lowell George and Martin Kibbee )

THE BIG PICTURE

You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too – “Recently, I was engaged in a deep conversation with an ultra-liberal type. What struck me most during this conversation was how many of these people (assuming this one person represented many) seem unable to grasp a very basic truth: two contradictory ideas cannot exist in the same reality. They can’t have their cake and eat it too. They have to choose. But they typically do not. It was the same pattern every time we came upon diverse views on a particular topic. She eagerly embraced Statement #1 (having the cake), but adamantly rejected the logical consequences of Statement #2 (eating it). This is a serious problem. With this kind of logic, it’s impossible to reach any real conclusion. Having the cake cancels out eating it—and in the end, you’re left with nothing.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Invention Secrecy Act allows the United States government to classify ideas and patents under “secrecy orders,” which indefinitely block the public from ever learning of them.

Strait of Hormuz Closed Again: This ‘War’ Was/Is a Pre-Plotted Scam – “Arguments about who won and who lost this insane fraud called the ‘Iran War,’ which has never once ended, are asinine to say the least. There are many fools in the Trump camp who insist that ‘we’ won, but these are either main-stream idiots, or worse, many so-called ‘alternative’ sources who are obviously controlled opposition. They would of course call me a “disinformation operative,” all based on ad homonym bull shite. First and foremost, they are all liars, as the only winners in any war are those at the top of the power, financial, and political pyramid, while all others, which includes the entire general population, always lose. That is no different this time around in this fake, staged, and fraudulent ‘Iran war.’” – Gary D. Barnett

Oil Markets Need More Than a Peace Deal to Recover – “The Iran framework agreement gave an immediate boost to markets, with shares rising and oil prices dipping. But whether this translates into durable economic gains will largely depend on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Ben Cahill, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center, indicated that this trickle needs to grow if the hope of an economic peace dividend is to be realized. “It’s all about tanker traffic. Agreements on paper don’t matter much unless they really get oil moving again through the Strait of Hormuz, because that’s what everyone will be monitoring — the number of tankers exiting the strait to carry oil, gas, and other products to market,” he told RFE/RL.” – RFE/RL staff

The Sport of Kings The Great Game and its Ancient Counter – “On April 27th, 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy stood before the American Newspaper Publishers Association and spoke words that would echo through the decades. He spoke of a conspiracy—”a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy,” he called it—that relied not on armies but on infiltration, not on invasion but on subversion, not on elections but on intimidation. He named what he saw with a precision that’s never been improved upon. He saw it. He named it. Publicly. Precisely. Two years and seven months later, he was dead.His brother, five years after that. One death is grief. Two is horror. But when you see the same method deployed against the same kind of person—across three decades, across three continents, inside the families and institutions they built and led—you’re no longer looking at tragedy. You’re looking at doctrine.” – E.M. Burlingame

Adults aged 50-64 have a 0.015% of dying from the flu vs. 0.3% from a flu injection = a 20-fold (1900%) increase).

Peace and the Perpetual Persecution Complex – “The Luck of the Non-Irish. Just the other day, President Trumpenstein negotiated a ceasefire with Iran. I guess it’s a peace deal, but they’re calling it a Memorandum of Understanding. You’d think that this would be considered a good thing. Think again. It is a very bad thing, according to every high profile Zionist, who all have raging war boners. Because of this too late and too little gesture of half-assed diplomacy, poor Trumpenstein is in hot water with the non-Irish. They may be changing the Israeli streets named after him as we speak. Perhaps they prefer Rubio Boulevard? After all, Vice President J.D. Vance is now despised by the Zionists as well. I’m not sure what he did. Perhaps they sensed an unsatisfactory level of enthusiasm for this nonsensical war? Maybe he was disgusted at the killing of 150 Iranian girls?” – Donald Jeffries

The “Deal” – “It is hard to make sense of – to believe – that the “deal” supposedly reached between the United States and Iran means the war’s over. It probably means the war is on pause, again. Israel hasn’t agreed to anything, for one – and even if Israel did, Israel’s word is worth about as much as (dare it be said?) Hitler’s, with regard to promises of non-aggression. Peace in our time? Maybe a kind of peace for a couple of weeks. But it all seems to good to be true. Why would the leadership of Iran give up control over the Strait of Hormuz?” – Eric Peters

The First Secretary of War Loses A War – “With the details of the signed Memorandum of Understanding still unclear, it does appear, for all intents and purposes, that the United States has lost the war with Iran. That means Pete Hegseth, the first Secretary of War, has lost a war. As if the US couldn’t look more foolish, the MoU gives the US nothing it wanted when it comes to the military objectives it was pursuing in Iran. The only big “accomplishment” is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but not “toll-free” as US President Donald Trump claimed.” – Mac Slavo

The Iran War Is Dismantling The American Empire – ““Overgrown military establishments” now define the United States. For the U.S., war has little to do with defense and everything to do with feeding an always-hungry war-based economy. Congressmen and senators from both parties are perpetually compelled to satisfy the insatiable lust for money from the public treasury by the military-industrial/surveillance-technocratic establishment in return for generous “contributions” to their re-election campaigns. The annual taxpayer funding for the war profiteers is more than $1.5 trillion. That amounts to 750 military bases in over 80 countries all over the world.” – Chuck Baldwin

The Most Probable Immediate Future in the Middle East Will Satisfy Few – “Thoughts on the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran. Enough of the US Empire’s ruling oligarchy has decided that the Strait of Hormuz must reopen, and remain open, to force Trump to go around Israel and make enough of a deal with Iran to do that thing. Israel will, of course, try its best to sabotage it by inflicting atrocities on Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Iran will eventually retaliate forcibly against Israel. Netanyahu will be inclined to gamble that he can force the US back into the war, but the odds are against him. Chances are Trump, and the AIPAC-dominated Congress, will continue to funnel money and weapons to Israel.

The initiative originally gained support as a way to “end animal cruelty”, but the details of the proposed law turned out to be a vegan’s version of Orwell. ” – Tyler Durden

A Letter From Desolation Row – “Perhaps you have noticed – if you have any idea who I am or give a damn – that I have slowed down my political analyses of our current situation. It’s gotten tiresome since little changes despite all the spilled ink. An example from 2021. The Orange Man was out and the Comatose Man was in the White House.

IRAN DEAL #40 – Epstein’s Ball and Chain Blackmail Over Trump – “The Deal is not a deal per se, it is a 60 day pause. Giving both sides the opportunity to ramp up supplies.

And the Ayatollah is still dead. There is no ‘victory’ here. There is no surrender. The markets made money for elites while Americans paid for inflated consumer goods. What we did witness was the fact that our government, our Congress, view humans as disposable entities. Valueless.” – Helena Glass

Eating survival food full time can keep you alive, but the body does not experience that switch as a neat spreadsheet of calories, servings, and expiration dates. It experiences it as a sudden change in fiber, sodium, water demand, meal volume, fat quality, protein pattern, gut bacteria, and micronutrient intake.” – Bob Rodgers

Death of Kyle Busch: “Nothing to See Here” (VIDEO) – “Kyle Busch was a two-time Cup champion and fierce competitor holding NASCAR’s all-time record of 234 national series victories. While the mainstream media brushed his unexpected death off to “pneumonia and sepsis” I wondered why there was no mention of the causative organism, use of ECMO, and how unusual it was for a 41 year old man to die of an illness where the average age is 77 years and after 4-6 days in the hospital ICU. “Died of pneumonia” — that’s what the public was told. “I’ve never had a man in his young 40s die in 24 hours of a hemorrhagic pneumonia.” This is not a marginal observation. It is a statistical near-impossibility in the absence of some underlying pathology.” – Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

And it may be over soon. Isn’t that amazing. A war in Iran has killed thousands of people. Like an uncontrollable, unpredictable, natural disaster. Like an earthquake. No mention that Israeli and U.S. missile and bomb strikes killed thousands of Iranians, so many of them innocents, including the now infamous strike on a primary school in Minab that killed 150+.” – Bill Astore
