THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Iran Threatens To Destroy Region-Wide Infrastructure As Trump’s 48-Hour Ultimatum Ticks Down, Mass Casualties In Southern Israel – Tyler Durden

War As Gangsterism – “Escalating, Sonny Corleone-Style. If you’ve seen The Godfather, you know it doesn’t end well for Sonny. Nor will it end well for the United States if Trump and his wartime consigliere Bibi continue to choose escalation and further warfare.” – Bill Astore

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

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

US wants ‘to colonize us again’ – Lula to Latin American leaders – “Brazil’s president has slammed the US kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and the oil blockade of Cuba” -RT

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gold & Silver Takedown Intensifies On Friday But Who Is Selling?(PODCAST) with Alasdair Macleod – “Today’s markdowns in gold and silver are simply sucker-plays designed to deceive amateur investors who will come to regret being hoodwinked into selling by professional traders.” – King World News

At its core, Bill C-270 reflects something simple: A growing discomfort with how self-defence is currently understood and applied in Canada.” – denob

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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