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

Gray State: Pentagon Signs Deal To Make Palantir AI “Maven” Its Core Military System – Its Most ‘Revolutionary’ Surveillance Tool Yet To Track Civilians And Increase The Kill Chain – The WinePress – LINKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY, BUT THIS IS A MORE IN DEPTH ARTICLE ABOUT IT AND PALANTIR AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!

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

The 5 Critical Items That Should Be In Every EDC Kit Everyday Carry (EDC) – “When assembling an everyday carry kit, it is incredibly important to be selective regarding the items which you select.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The overwhelming question is how many children of the bloated Senators and House signed up for active duty? Barron? No, apparently he is too tall… Is there a height exemption? Apparently, there is a height exemption – it is 6.66 feet, although exceptions can be requested. No joke.

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

An Ominous Confession – “Trump never apologizes – but he tried hard to last night, when he said the following on his Truth Social platform: “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.” “Out of anger”? Isn’t it the Iranians who have the right to be angry? Trump apologizes for the Israelis’ anger – over being hit back after they hit first. Oy vey! It continues: “Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.” Pinhead says what? He admits the attack was ill-advised and kind-of, sort-of apologizes for it and then says the Iranians “unjustifiably and unfairly” attacked the LNG gas facility in Qatar! This is like the guy caught beating his wife who moans about how she made him do it – and she’d better not do it again.” – Eric Peters

Is Netanyahu Dead Or Is It An Elaborate AI Mindscrew? – “As I have articulated before, it is a battlefield for our minds, it is Sixth Generation warfare. The rumors began to spread after Bibi had noticeably been absent from strategic meetings and did not make any public appearances. However, on Tuesday night, Forbes posted a clip of U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Netanyahu walking and talking together. But many people in the comments said this video looks more AI than the last ones we’ve seen.” – The WinePress

Surveillance for Sale – FBI Increases Data Tracking – “The FBI has now openly admitted that it is purchasing location data on Americans, confirming what many suspected for years. Director Kash Patel testified that the agency “does purchase commercially available information” and uses “all tools” to carry out its mission, which includes data capable of tracking people’s movements without a warrant.” – Martin Armstrong

Elderly Canadian woman offered euthanasia before doctor even asked what was wrong with her – “A senior who went to Vancouver General Hospital for a diagnosis and treatment after experiencing sudden pain was offered euthanasia by a doctor – before the woman had even been asked what was wrong with her. Miriam had not asked for euthanasia. She had not even asked about euthanasia. She had not yet received a diagnosis. But still, she was offered a lethal injection that would kill her immediately – in all likelihood, simply because she is an elderly woman. Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala. ” – Jonathon Van Maren

The Political Left, Multiculturalism And The Dark Alliance With Islam – “Today, the notion of even discussing the agenda of “Stealth Jihad” in a public venue in 2026 is labeled “racist” by progressive activists and left wing politicians (even though Islam is not a race). If you were to go back in time around 15 years ago and explain to people what is happening today in terms of third-world immigration, they would probably laugh in your face and call you a conspiracy theorist. In 2026 in Europe the plan is nearly complete and in the US the plan is well underway. The change in how our society views Islam as an untouchable subject is largely due to a dark and convenient political alliance between the woke left and the Stealth Jihad.” – Brandon Smith

Does anybody remember Vietnam, when observing the Iran “not a war?” – “I’m getting a strong feeling of Vietnam déjà vu with Sec-War Pete Hegseth’s daily repetition of of our record-breaking Iran bombing raid sortie numbers. We’ve seen this movie before, and it does not have a happy ending. The MSM talking head brainiacs suggesting “boots on the ground” in Iran are absolutely, clinically, insane. Like it or not, we’re all in the same energy boat, because oil and gas are fungible commodities in a global market. Allies, enemies, all of us. You don’t throw hand grenades in the life raft.” – Matthew Bracken  – GOOD READ AND ANALYSIS FROM MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trapped – “3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. Let that sink in. These aren’t military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK – Crews running out of WATER – Port authorities REFUSING tolet them dock – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it.” – Tennessee Country

The Human Costs of War – “Command Chief Master Sergeant (ret.) Dennis Fritz went on “Judging Freedom” yesterday and spoke with force and eloquence about the human costs of war. Every American should watch and heed this video. Especially the last five minutes or so.There is nothing whatsoever wonderful and wondrous about dead Iranian schoolgirls in Minab, obliterated by a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile on February 28. Roughly 165 to 175 people died in that strike—most were schoolgirls between 7 and 12 years old. There are heartless ghouls among us—we must not take our lead from them. ” – Bill Astore

America’s Justice System Evolving to Lenin/Stalin Communist Bolshevism – “Trump wants emergency funds of $200 billion for a war he claims he already won, although he might still obliterate Iran out of vengeance for daring to retaliate. We have spiraled from a Biden dementia to a literal psychotic, and we should be very scared. I know I am. The consequences of his actions will playout for years to come. The two people who completely misled Trump on the Iran Negotiations, Kushner and Witkoff, are eerily silent about their actions:. Witkoff has reportedly been pleading with Iranian officials to talk with him to no avail. Of course, the US has zero reputation left as Lies have become the mainstream identity. The Senate called for Witkoff to appear for a briefing. Oddly, the man who started a global war centered in the Middle East is not detained by the FBI or CIA for treason, and instead the FBI is investigating former army warrant officer, Green Beret, and CIA paramilitary officer for internal leaks while labeling Joe Kent an antisemite. Guess we know who called for his investigation.” – Helena Glass

Focusing on symptoms over root causes – “Connecting the dots for lazy intellects. Since the U.S./Israel-Iran war started on February 28, the conservative media have shifted their reporting focus in a very obvious way, churning out anti-Muslim content like Willie Wonka churns out chocolate. I feel like it’s a flashback to the 2002-2008 era when Muslim fearmongering was ever-present and palpable. Look at what they did here, and look at what they’ve done there!” – Leo Hohmann

Congress Knows It Has a Spending Problem, But Won’t Fix It – “Fiscal discipline is politically costly, but inaction will be disastrous. How can we restore sanity to federal budgeting?” – Romina Boccia

Kristi Noem’s Replacement Bows to Protesters – “ICE’s reputation is in the toilet and Trump-world knows it,Senator Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s next homeland security chief, testified before his colleagues this week and apologized. He’s sorry about the ham-fisted conduct of the department. He’s sorry about warrantless searches. He’s sorry about the labeling of protesters as terrorists. In his confirmation hearing, Mullin sounded like a disgraced politician begging for a second chance. Ask yourself: when have you ever heard the Trump administration apologize like this before? It was an extraordinary act of surrender to the public.” – Ken Klippenstein

More Americans Are Relying on Debt to Get By – “You’ve probably seen the headlines. Inflation is cooling. The worst is behind us. That’s technically true. But it’s also widely misunderstood. Inflation measures the rate of increase in prices – not whether prices are going down. If inflation drops from 9% to 3%, that doesn’t mean relief. It means prices are still rising… just more slowly.” – Peter Reagan

With AI job replacement finally putting some numbers on the board, it’s a useful time to ask what happened last time we wiped out two-third of jobs: The Industrial Revolution.” – Peter St Onge

PMs predictably volatile – “Paper gold and silver have sold down in very light trade. The bullion establishment is scrambling to close its shorts and go long as the outlook for gold gets increasingly bullish. The chart below shows that gold could be described as consolidating nicely giving it a firm platform for its next leg up against the dollar. Meanwhile, the war in Iran is destabilising the world’s exporter of investment capital — Japan. The consequences are bound to speed up the collapse of bond and equity prices, and therefore the life of all fiat currencies. Despite its current volatility, physical gold remains the true safe haven.” – Alasdair Macleod

SurviveX First Aid Kit Review: What It’s Actually Worth When Things Go Wrong – “In fact, I rarely write any reviews and I only do it when I feel the products deserves to be shown. However, after getting this kit and going through it piece by piece, I realized it’s not your typical “throw it in a drawer and forget it” kind of first aid kit. I wanted something better than the tiny kits you find at gas stations, but not full-on paramedic gear. Somewhere in the middle. What I got ended up being closer to a serious emergency kit than I expected. Most people already have some kind of first aid kit at home, but if you take a closer look at what is actually inside, you quickly realize that most of them are built for convenience, not for real situations.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

Stop Resisting! – “It’s a very strange thing to hear someone whine about being punched in the face after they walked up to someone and cold-cocked them without warning. That is what the state of Israel and its apologists are doing right now. Tel Aviv is in ruins! Civilians have been killed by the Iranians! Well, what did Israel and its apologists expect? Apparently, the expectation is that the Iranians just accept Israel murdering 170 schoolgirls as well as the rest of the murder and mayhem that came along with the joint Israeli-American sneak attack on Iran. This is what’s meant by chutzpah – a word that encompasses audacity and insolence and hypocrisy. We have arrived at what might be described as the ne plus ultra moment of cognitive dissonance. At least in some quarters. The people who decided to start this war and felt no compunction about the murder and mayhem they decided to rain down upon Iran now complain about the same being rained down upon them.” – Eric Peters  – GOOD ONE FROM ERIC AND ERIK BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both Ends Against the Middle – “There is not question that the left is sick—that Trump became president for a 2nd time because Harris is the dumbest person ever nominated to run from either political party. But, under the Trump reign, it’s becoming obvious that the right are conducting a full-blown effort to match the left—as brain dead. If it isn’t obvious to you by now, MAGA (casting itself as American), is an unAmerican, unconstitutional faction in support of Israeli Zionism.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

DON’S DIGITAL DOMINOES! – “BEYOND THE BOARD: TRUMP’S ‘SPEED RUN’ SECURES THE HEMISPHERE WHILE THE WORLD IS STILL LOADING… The talking heads on cable news are still flipping through 20th-century textbooks, trying to apply Kissinger-era logic to a TrumpGPT reality. They call it “chaos” because they can’t see the HUD (Heads-Up Display). In the high-stakes game of global Risk, the United States has stopped playing by the “turn-based” rules of the UN and started playing a real-time strategy (RTS) game where the APM (Actions Per Minute) are off the charts” – Kerry Lutz  -IS THERE MORE TO TRUMP’S STRATEGY THAN MEETS THE EYE. INTERESTING THEORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

History Rewritten – Politicians Are The Weapons of Mass Destruction – “How was the Middle East created? In 1916, British diplomat Mark Sykes and French diplomat François Georges-Picot divided the region per a pinky swear promise that the Arabs would assist in overthrowing the Ottoman Empire. Instead of upholding their promise, they turned the middle east into two colonies: France got Syria and Lebanon while Britain got Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine. When Edmond Rothschild began extending settlements in Palestine for his Bolshevik compatriots, The House of Rothschild formed terrorist cells to fight the Arabs and the British leading to the Balfour Agreement. To this day, the majority of Arab countries view Picot and Sykes as terrorists after they assassinated Arab intellectuals in 1916. The aftermath of WWI was a mess of colonialism, chaos, and Lies.” – Helena Glass

NEWS

Is a Revolution Percolating in the US Military? – “As Marco Rubio blurted early on, it is a war for Israel, with US military commitment not requested, but demanded by Netanyahu. As Joe Kent, Trump’s top Counter Terrorism Advisor, stated in his recent resignation letter, the war on Iran is based on an Israeli lie, “the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.” What Joe Kent believes, and what he does, is important. A combat hardened veteran and MAGA team player, he represents the thinking of many former and current military members, and their civilian counterparts, who have been around long enough to understand that civilian control of the military does not mean the President can do “anything he wants.”” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Things Go Haywire as Israeli Escalation Throws Iran Conflict into Dangerous New Phase – “Things really hit the fan earlier today after Iran’s largest natural gas field, the South Pars, was struck by Israel. This field reportedly accounts for 75% of Iran’s natural gas production and 80-85% of its electric grid.” – Simplicius

A toddler’s guide to international affairs – “Foreign policy in the age of Trump. For his entire life, Donald Trump has inhabited an ecosystem constructed entirely of mirrors that only reflect approval. He has always been surrounded by courtiers who nod before he finishes a sentence, validating his notion that each impulse is equivalent to a command. When you live in a golden elevator where everyone presses the button for you, you begin to believe gravity is optional.” – Ashes of Pompeii

Russia Sends Oil and Gas Tankers to Crisis-Hit Cuba, Defying U.S. Blockade – FT – “Russia has dispatched two tankers carrying oil and gas to Cuba as the island grapples with a deepening energy crisis exacerbated by a U.S. oil blockade, the Financial Times reported Wednesday. The ships would be providing the Caribbean island nation with its first energy shipments in three months. Fuel shortages have pushed Cuba into one of its most severe economic crises in decades, with widespread blackouts and disruptions to basic services.” – The Moscow Times

How Did the Military Industrial Complex Convert Tulsi Gabbard? – “It wasn’t so long ago that Tulsi Gabbard articulated the principled stance of a classical liberal along the lines of George Washington, James Madison, and John Adams, all of whom exhorted the American people to avoid foreign entanglements and to regard the perennial calls for war with skepticism. What happened to her?” -John Leake

From a structural perspective, the conflict accelerates several longer-term realignments in the global energy and security landscape.” – Phil Butler

Trump 2.0 Must Urgently Declare Its Position Towards Nukes In Estonia – “The potential transfer of tactical nukes to the UK’s control for use with their planned Estonian-based F-35As would unprecedentedly worsen the already dangerous NATO-Russian security dilemma.” – Andrew Korybko

Now, however, as we look at the 1-year chart for the S&P 500 index shown further down the page, we see that it has been eroding support near its rising 200-day moving average in the recent past to the point that this support is now believed to be on the point of failure.” – Clive Maund

Do No Harm (Terms and Conditions May Apply) (VIDEO) – “That promise held for about two thousand four hundred years. Then Larry Ellison put your medical records up for sale and his data centers under NDA. The HYPAAcritical Oath. I’ve been covering Oracle for a while now, tracing threads across media consolidation, federal cloud contracts, classified AI authorizations, and a data architecture that keeps getting bigger every time I turn around. Oracle paid $28.3 billion for the company that built that system. They let it deteriorate, lost clients, watched a veteran die because of a software error, and are now reportedly considering selling the whole thing off. Which raises a question that’s been keeping me up: if they’re willing to walk away from the company, what exactly did they keep? I think the answer is your data. ” – Audrey Henson

Power Without Principle: The Rise of the Bully Presidency – ““When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab ‘em by the pussy. You can do anything.”— Donald J. Trump on seizing women, Access Hollywood (2005) It’s been 20 years since Donald Trump bragged that, as a star, he could do anything—even assault women—and get away with it. Two decades later, what once sounded like crude bravado has become a governing philosophy: might makes right, power excuses everything, and accountability is for other people—not this president. Despite the Access Hollywood recording—and everything it revealed about his character—Trump was elected to the White House twice. And ever since, he has governed exactly as he promised: as a man who believes he is unaccountable, entitled, and free to act without limits.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Strait of Hormuz – A Very Strange Tug-of-War – “Since the US/Israel began their war – sorry, their “targeted, limited, combat operation” – hard facts have been hard to come by. In a more than usually cloudy combat narrative, we’ve been told that Iran is winning AND losing, depending who you ask. It’s a regime change war, but also it isn’t. Various Iranian officials have been killed, and some came back. Netanyahu was briefly dead, too. There was talk of a tactical nuke. Nowhere is this fog of war thicker than in the Strait of Hormuz, about which it is seemingly impossible to get a *ahem* strait answer.” – Kit Knightly

Rushing Up the Escalation Ladder – “And we all know where this escalation may lead. The recent elimination of three senior Iranian officials – Major General Gholamreza Soleimani, Ali Larijani, and Esmail Khatib – cannot be understood through the lens of conventional Western military logic alone. To view these strikes merely as a degradation of command-and-control capabilities is to miss the profound cultural and theological engine that drives the Islamic Republic. In the Shiite tradition, and specifically within the revolutionary ethos of Iran, death is not always a defeat; often, it is the ultimate validation of faith.” – Ashes of Pompeii

God, Guns, and Christian Zealots in the White House – “Governments that want to send young people to die in distant countries have always faced the same problem: the arithmetic of the transaction is unfavorable. You are asking a twenty-three-year-old to trade his life for a geopolitical objective he cannot see, in a country he cannot find on a map, on behalf of politicians who will not be going themselves. Across history, the most reliable solution to this problem has been God. Tell the soldier he is not serving the state—that cold, bureaucratic, manifestly self-interested entity—but rather serving the Almighty. Make the war a crusade. Make dying for Washington indistinguishable from dying for heaven.” – Thomas Karat

Failing The Iran War, Failing Venezuela’s Economy, Trump Sets His Sites on CUBA – “The Trump rhetoric directed toward Cuba and the Cuban people is evil. Netanyahu’s soul is inhabiting Trump. There seems to be no other explanation. When Trump took control of Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro, he effectively diverted all Venezuelan oil exports to Cuba leaving them to depend on the power retained until the lights literally went out.

How many economists had that on their bingo card for 2026?” – Joel Bowman

Time to Sweep ‘Political Correctness’ into the Dustbin of History – “Leftists need to learn to take a joke. American leftists chose the Soviet model. They silenced political opponents by making non-leftist beliefs fireable offenses and punishable crimes. They taught an entire generation that masculinity is “toxic,” that the Founding Fathers were “patriarchs,” and that America is “systemically racist.” They leaned into online censorship and viewpoint discrimination. In other words, the biggest supporters of “political correctness” have been the country’s most divisive, sexist, racist, anti-Christian, anti-American, and discriminatory group of people ever to exercise so much political and cultural power in the United States.” – J.B. Shurk

Civil War: Original MAGA vs the Neocons – “For many voters, the best thing about Donald Trump, the presidential candidate, was his entourage. He was surrounded by smart, courageous people who had spent years opposing the Aristocracy on existential issues like regime change wars, vaccine mandates, censorship, and illegal immigration. With them running major departments and dominating cabinet meetings, at least some good things, it seemed, might get done. And some good things have indeed gotten done. But lately, relations between the major players have taken a darker turn. The MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement has descended into a civil war over its central issues, with old allies becoming, in some cases, mortal enemies.” – John Rubino

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Iran War Is About to Unleash a Inflation Shock the Fed Can’t Stop – “When most people think about oil and its uses, they think of gasoline and cars. But the reality is that oil prices input to just about everything in the economy. In this contex, higher oil prices can cripple an economy in a step by step fashion. The first sector to get hit is transportation. Higher oil prices means that every shipping truck, every cargo ship, every airline faces sharply higher operating costs. This is why the Dow Transportation Index collapsed over 10% as soon as the conflict with Iran began.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Fed votes to hold rates steady, notes ‘uncertain’ impacts from Iran war – “The Federal Open Market Committee voted 11-1 to keep the benchmark federal funds rate anchored in a range between 3.5%-3.75%. The policymakers are navigating their way through higher-than-expected inflation readings, mixed signs on the labor market and a war.” – Jeff Cox

Hot Producer Price Inflation Adds to Fed’s Complex and Worsening Inflation Problem – “Worst 6-month PPI inflation since August 2022 (+5.3% annualized). After multiple rate cuts by the Fed, inflation heats up everywhere: services, food, energy, other goods.’ – Wolf Richter

Wholesale prices surge again and show inflation flowing through pipeline of the economy – “Producer-price index has risen 3.4% in the past year” – Jeffry Bartash

LIQUIDITY LAVA! Private Credit Meltdown Torches Gold & Silver as Investors Dash for Cash 📉 – “The $2 trillion private credit market—the “shadow bank” darling of Wall Street—is finally hitting the wall, and it’s dragging your “safe haven” metals down into the pit with it. As of March 18, 2026, the industry isn’t just seeing cracks; it’s experiencing a full-blown liquidity rupture that has sent shockwaves from the boardrooms of BlackRock to the gold vaults of London. If you’re wondering why Gold has dipped below the $5,000 mark and Silver is going below $80 despite a global geopolitical powderkeg, here’s the cold, hard truth: Investors aren’t selling metals because they want to; they’re selling because they have to.” – Kerry Lutz

Why Credit Creates Bubbles That Break the Economy – “When credit scales faster than it can be absorbed by productive investments, the resulting credit-asset bubbles break the economy. This is the result of asymmetric scaling: credit (i.e. debt, money borrowed into existence) can be created in virtually limitless billions with a few keystrokes, while productive investments scale only incrementally.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Yuan Buys the Strait: Petrodollar Bleeds Out. Gold & Silver to Surge on America’s Latest Self‑Inflicted Wound – “Every day 20 Million barrels of oil ship through Strait of Hormuz.

It died quietly at a tollbooth in the Strait of Hormuz.” – The Silver Academy

News reports may mention disruptions—fuel shortages, transportation issues, labour disputes—but stores are still open, and shelves are still mostly full. Then the buying starts. It doesn’t take panic to empty a store. It just takes a slightly elevated number of people buying a little more than usual. Within a day or two, the most familiar items begin to disappear: fresh meat, dairy, bread, and bottled water. Baby supplies and pet food follow close behind—categories people don’t think about until they’re gone. To the untrained eye, the store still “has food.” But the shift has already begun.” – denob

12 First Aid Myths That Could Cause More Harm Than Good (VIDEO) – Daisy Luther

Fuel Storage for Survival Retreats – ” Gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, Coleman® fuel, and other petroleum products – all can be stored. For long term survival purposes, only one vehicle fuel is worth talking about: Diesel. Why pick diesel fuel? Simply, because it stores so much better than gasoline. It offers better mileage in similar vehicles than gasoline would (so you get more bang for the storage volume)” – Flighter

THE BIG PICTURE

Hooray for Hannity and Levin! – “It is only natural that Trump is back-slapping Mark Levin and Sean Hannity. Glenn Beck is no doubt feeling left out. Levn and Hannity – and Beck – are of course regime apologists. In between trying to “tell you about” Rough Greens and such. They represent Conservatism, Inc. The well-oiled grift that long-ago co-opted what was the grassroots conservative movement of Taft and Buchanan, which was nationalist and populist; i.e., it was America (not Israel) first. That had to be stopped, of course. Nationalism and populism are dangerous things from the point-of-view of international bankers and international corporations – so they bought puppets to control the nationalistpopulist movement. Trump is their man. There has been no other man so adept at telling the sore-beset conservative rank-and-file just exactly what they need to hear. He plays them like a Stradivarius. Levin and Hannity – and Beck – providing the orchestral accompaniment, to the strains of Lee Greenwood. It pays very well. These guys are multi-millionaires because they are sponsored by billionaires,” – Eric Peters

Masters Who Rule Presidents – The Power Pyramid – “THEORY: All presidents are appointed by the Masters who Rule. Elections are a farce to dimwit The People into a belief that Power is within their control. Political parties are simply a tool to maintain the fear quotient of the opposing party. Money doesn’t exist. Ownership doesn’t exist. The Georgia Guidestones warned us – as of 2022 they were destroyed by unknown assailants who have never been identified despite surveillance camera footage. Everything about humanity is rooted in ‘death’. The Masters decide who will be their next victim and the presidents/prime ministers – obey” – Helena Glass

A Booster Dose of COVID White Pills – “Reflecting on the silver linings of COVID six years after the “pandemic” changed our lives and the world forever. COVID was a bitter black pill that turned into a white pill. Six years ago, COVID was declared a pandemic that required unprecedented emergency powers to stop. The fearmongering propaganda was unrelenting: 15 days to slow the spread! Flatten the curve! Stay at home, save lives! Mask up! Get boosted! Follow the science! Trust the experts! Meanwhile, leftists rampaged during the summer of love with no repercussions. A senile president was installed after campaigning from his basement. On his way out he pardoned Dr. Fauci, who had engineered all of the destruction. During the depths of the “winter of death and disease”, we could be forgiven for blackpilling.” – Yuri Bezmenov  – GOOD READ FROM YURI AS USUAL!!

You Can’t Have A Free Country When The Government Makes Choices For You – “Americans have an incredible array of choices for food and consumer goods, but government monopolies in education, health care, and energy are ruining our lives.” – Jim DeMint

Oil price hysteria – “So, let us start with the bare facts.[1] The graph above shows monthly averages for the Brent spot price of crude oil back to 1988 in current prices. This price exceeded $100 for 6 months in 2008, 42 months from 2011 to 2014, and 6 months in 2022. Over the last 20 years the monthly average Brent spot price has exceeded $100 for 23% of all months. This is hardly a rare occurrence, though it is not routine.” – Gordon Hughes  – WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE FACTS $100 OIL IS NOT THAT UNUSUAL!!!

You’ll be drinking Granny and Grandpa soon – “Scotland has legalised “green cremations” and the Law Commission is considering it for England and Wales. The problem with liquifying human remains is that we don’t know how much of Granny and Grandpa is ending up in our drinking water – they are forcing us to become cannibals.” – Rhoda Wilson

Warriors’ Casino: The People Making A Killing Gambling On War – “Insider trading on the end of the world?” – Ryan Lovelace

MAHA Fail: Judge Temporarily Blocks RFK And HHS From Changing Childhood Vaccination Schedule, Challenges RFK’s CDC Vaccine Board – ““This is a great victory not only ​for vaccines and public health in the United States, but for science,” said Richard Hughes, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, on a call with reporters.” – The WinePress

WHO Convenes Global Session to Dictate How the Coming Influenza Pandemic Will Be Run – “Foreign pandemic governance cartel is “[p]reparing for and responding to an influenza pandemic.” – Jon Fleetwood

 

 

 

NEWS

Trump Trumps Himself as MAGA Melts Down in Near Mania over its Betrayal – “What a card!. As a result of all of Trump’s lying and deflecting and delaying and especially his total betrayals of major campaign promises, today’s headlines section of The Daily Doom reverberates with the clamor of MAGA tearing itself apart. Trump is turning out to be everything I’ve said you could expect him to be as he now throws his past supporters into the meat grinder, because the second you criticize him, you’re gone.” – David Haggith

Either Iran or Israel Has to go – “The Zionist agenda of Greater Israel is not consistent with the Existence of Muslim Iran (or Turkey and Saudi Arabia). Unless the Zionist agenda is renounced, Iran has no choice but to fight to its own death or to Israel’s death. The fact that Iran has never seized the initiative, has never used its strategic advantage, but has sat on its butt waiting, indeed inviting, an attack, suggests that Iran does not comprehend the Zionist Agenda.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Cuba, Iran and Little St James – “Cuba as distraction from the Persian distraction from Epstein. In the high-stakes but low brow theater of American foreign policy, failure demands a distraction. With the Trump administration’s Iran strategy in tatters after seventeen days, the search for a quick win intensifies. And in the DC corridors of power, it is likely one name is coming up: Cuba. In typical Trumpian fashion an urgent distraction is needed to distract from the now misfiring distraction from Epstein. The Caribbean worked once before (but does anyone still remember Venezuela and Maduro), so why not again?” – Ashes of Pompeii

Deprivation and depopulation: inside Cuba under US siege (VIDEO) – “On the ground with Cubans suffering through the humanitarian crisis imposed by Washington. Danny Shaw, a scholar of Latin American and Caribbean studies and longtime supporter of the Cuban revolution, documents harrowing conditions across Cuba. Traveling from Holguin to Banes to Santiago this February, Shaw finds a population increasingly deprived of nutrition, with dwindling transportation options as gas runs low, schools are shuttered, and surging inflation makes life unaffordable. The US embargo has hollowed out once-thriving areas, pushing young people to migrate.” – The Grayzone  – GOOD HALF HOUR VIDEO FROM THE GRAYZONE!!!!

Trump says he can do ‘anything I want’ with Cuba – “”I do believe I’ll be … having the honor ​of taking Cuba. That’s a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form,” Trump told reporters as ⁠the island faces an unprecedented economic crisis, exacerbated by an oil blockade the U.S. imposed after capturing former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” – Daniel Trotta

Is having no war plan Trump’s ‘plan’? – “The Iranians have a vote on when the war ends. And they say that they are just getting started. The U.S.-Israeli stand-off air-strike model of waging war is being challenged by a quite different strategic asymmetric war – one first planned by Iran more than 20 years ago. This is important to understand when trying to judge where the war balance sheet truly lies. It is like comparing oranges with lemons; they are essentially different in character.” – Alastair Crooke

Donald Trump flips out in unhinged rant after allies refuse to send ships to Iran – “Trump has been begging for other countries – including the UK – to send ships to help in the Middle East. Today he has revealed they all said no” – Mikey Smith

China Eyes Taiwan as U.S. Far East Missile Defense Relocated to Mid-East – “I predicted long before the Iran war kicked off in March that 2026 would be the year the CCP pulls the trigger on its long-awaited incursion across the Taiwan Strait to reclaim what it views as its wayward island redoubt. Among other reasons for my crystal-ball prophecy, Xi Jinping himself essentially declared the conquest as a Chinese New Year’s Resolution of sorts, describing the forced “reunification” of Taiwan with China as “unstoppable.”” – Ben Bartee

U.S. counterterrorism director Joe Kent resigns over war: ‘Iran posed no imminent threat’ – ““Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote in his letter.” – Kevin Breuninger  – YEP, EXACTLY WHY TRUMP DID IT AND ALSO TO GET EPSTEIN OFF OF EVERYONE’S MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the resignation of Joe Kent is a big deal – “Expect a smear campaign to commence against decorated combat veteran who says Trump makes decisions within ‘echo chamber’ whose loyalties are to Israel first, and America second.” – Leo Hohmann

Gavin Newsom’s Former Chief of Staff Received Thousands in Taxpayer Cash While Under Fraud Investigation – David Lindfield

Shocking video shows Donald Trump discussing his Iran war plans in 1987 – “The video captured an interview with late journalist and television personality Barbara Walters in December 1987, where Trump appeared to predict the current crisis in the Middle East and laid out his war plans if he were president.’You’re going to have a war, and it’s going to start in the Middle East,’ Trump predicted to Walters during the interview.” – Chris Melore

Now they’re trying to make St Patrick woke – “The Irish president wants to make Patrick into the patron saint of globalism. Not on my watch.” – Brendan O’Neill  – LINKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY IN AN ARTICLE BY STEVE WATSON AS WELL!!!

NATO Is In A Dilemma Over Whether To Join Trump’s Proposed Hormuz Naval Coalition – “Trump intimated that he might cut off arms sales to them for transfer to Ukraine if they reject his demand, thus likely handing Russia the victory that they’ve sought to avert for four years already, but they also don’t want to risk military losses to Iran either that could doom their politicians’ careers.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

January JOLTS—Largely Good News Report Shows Broader Job Growth. Corporate media naturally retained its fixation on job openings, as if the pretense that there is a job waiting to be filled is economically the same as actually filling the job. It isn’t, of course, but that reality has never kept corporate media from dismissing hiring while hyping mostly fake job openings.” – Peter Nayland Kust

US Pending Home Sales Barely Bounce Off Record Lows Despite Tumbling Rates In Feb – “After reaching a record low last month – with the decline blamed on weather – pending home sales bounced modestly in February (up 1.8% MoM vs -0.6% MoM exp and -10.% MoM prior). Year-over-year home sales continue to decline (down 0.6% YoY)..” – Tyler Durden

Housing Remains in the Gutter, But Mortgage Rates Are Creeping Back Up – “After falling to 6.0 percent, the MND average 30-year rate shot up to 6.41 percent yesterday. It’s now 6.36 percent. Don’t expect housing to contribute anything to GDP in the first quarter of 2026.” – Mish

Ever wonder where $7 TRILLION goes? So does the government. – “It’s not that the OMB is lazy or incompetent; it’s that there are simply too many federal programs… and the complex web of spending makes it virtually impossible to tally up all the various offices, agencies, sub-departments, committees, special advisory boards, emergency programs, etc. that exist in the federal government. Congress makes things much worse when they appropriate annual funding for some program— sort of ‘fire and forget’. So decades go by since a program was originally created…yet it continues to receive money each year even though nobody knows what it’s for. Bottom line, the government now spends $7 trillion each year. And they can’t figure out where it goes.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

Wealth Taxes Raise Less Revenue Than You Think – “Historically, wealth taxes have raised little revenue and routinely underperformed official projections. The same dynamic appears likely to repeat itself in the United States. A recent analysis by five Stanford economists at the Hoover Institution examines the proposed California wealth tax and finds that its projected $100 billion in revenues relies on unrealistic assumptions.” – Adam N. Michel

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Turn Your Fences Into Food! – “Vines have a quiet talent most gardeners overlook: they turn empty air into food. Along a fence, up a trellis, across a shed wall, or over a pergola, these climbing plants transform vertical space into a living pantry. On a homestead where every square foot matters, vines are one of the smartest ways to multiply your harvest without expanding your garden beds.” – Bill Heid

55 Survival Supplies You Can Never Have Too Much Of – Alan UrbanHow to Prevent Pigs from Escaping and How to Catch Them – “It turns out that getting stubborn pigs to return to their paddock isn’t quite as easy as it might sound! Pigs are not only intelligent, but they’re set in their ways. And once they’ve escaped, it can be super difficult to get them home. ” – Rebekah Pierce

7 DIY Projects Using Cinder Blocks – Olivia Brooks

Why You Need an EDC Strategy – “The key to a solid EDC kit for you is to match the items to the environment you expect to find yourself in and the circumstances that are most likely to come up for you. That means every day, not just in a bug out situation. You might not need a compass, for example, if you live and work in the city. And is a cellphone charger really on your list if you spend most of your time outdoors? This is where having a good Everyday Carry Strategy comes in.” – Dan F. Sullivan

THE BIG PICTURE

Everything Is a Psyop: Therefore Everything Is a Fraud – “As this performance of terror continues, it becomes more and more obvious that the entirety of these recent events is one big staged fraud. This fakery involves not only the U.S., Israel, and Iran, but also England, Europe, and likely Russia, China and much of the world’s ruling classes. This does not mean that people are not being killed, but governments kill people at will whenever it suits there chosen agendas, all without any conscience that could alter the outcome sought. Hence the term, human fodder. These thoughts harken back to the most important adage that is that everything happening in government is premeditated, planned long in advance, and therefore, all aspects of what is perceived by the masses, whether partial reality or not, is a psyop, and everything is a fraud. This truth could not be any more obvious than it is today.” – Gary D. Barnett

“All of Our Great TSA Agents” – ““Thank you,” says the president, to “all of our great TSA agents” – those blue suited government workers who serve essentially the same function as guards in a prison, which is of course what airports have become. 1/7 With some differences, of course. Prisons house criminals whereas airports are full of ordinary citizens just trying to travel by air somewhere. If an actual terrorist wanted to get on an airplane, he could do so easily – by buying or just renting a private airplane, where TSA Security Kabuki is not performed. We are supposed to be believe that actual terrorist organizations lack the money to rent airplanes – or even buy them, if they needed to. Of course, we are also expected to believe that steel-framed buildings with multiple/redundant support columns can collapse straight down at near-freefall speed as a result of office fires after not having been struck by a jet airliner.” – Eric Peters

War, Oil And Debt: Which Threats To The US Economy Are Legit? – “Iran has the potential to become a “linchpin” disaster, but the conditions are not right for one yet. For now, I continue to believe that the most significant danger to the global economy and the US economy is still the European oligarchy and their push for war with Russia over Ukraine. Any move by the Europeans to deploy troops to the region could result in a large scale war that would dwarf the events in Iran and completely derail already fragile economic structures. If you’re worried about global Armageddon, look to Ukraine, not Iran. The largest secondary hazard is domestic.” – Brandon Smith

Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way? – “The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down. Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives. It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is – against free travel against fossil fuels and against people being able to afford basically anything.’ – Kit Knightly

WHY IS PETER THIEL IN ROME? – “Peter Thiel is in Rome to host a secretive, invitation-only conference focused on the concept of the Antichrist, blending theology, technology, and political ideology. Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, frames technology and data-driven power as the modern Katéchon, or “braking force” that delays the Antichrist’s rise. Thiel also identifies technological regulation and “woke” global governance as modern forms of the Antichrist, warning that these forces erode individual freedom and delay human advancement. In contrast, he sees technology companies—like his own Palantir—as a restraining force that delays the Antichrist’s rise by preserving progress and data-driven power.” – Frances Leader

Guess What Ireland’s President Said About St. Patrick’s Day… “New leader turns national holiday into a globalist lecture. Irish President Catherine Connolly marked her first St. Patrick’s Day in office with a message that reframed Ireland’s patron saint as a symbol for open borders and ‘global citizenship’, urging the Irish to embrace migrants amid ongoing surges in arrivals that have sparked nationwide tensions.” – Steve Watson

The Female George Soros? – “MacKenzie Scott splashes out billions. She has given away $26 billion, almost all of it to relentlessly lefty causes. She has more than $30 billion left, and she’s determined to give that away, too. No one in the history of the world has ever given away so much money as quickly as MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife. In total giving, she has already breezed by George Soros, and he has only $7-1/2 billion left.” – Jared Taylor

DMSO, AI, and The Great Transformation of Information – “Unfortunately, DMSO has languished in an unusual spot. It was widely used throughout the pharmaceutical industry, a component in many drugs and was the active agent in a few FDA approved therapies but simultaneously, despite decades of protest (including by Congress) and being widely used around the world, the FDA essentially banned DMSO from medicine in America, and few even know about it (demonstrating that medical policies is often the result of politics rather than science). Because of this, I felt it was worth publicizing the mountain of forgotten literature showing DMSO worked, and once I did so, many people reported profound improvements and disbelief that something like DMSO existed,” – A Midwestern Doctor

The Age of Printed War: Central Bankers and the Machinery of Permanent Conflict – “Wars don’t just cost money; they are the business model of broken money. Follow the trail from owl coins to oil chokepoints, and the ending writes itself.” – Jon Forrest Little

 

 

 

NEWS

Is There A Way Out For Stupid? – “How do we end this US excursion into the arcade? This is the question the Pentagon and the White House should be working night and day to answer. Heads should be rolling in the White House and Pentagon. American sailors and airmen should be sent home now, starting with the long overdue return of the USS Gerald Ford. In this Epstein-inspired orgy of gleeful mass decapitations, unneeded boutique wars, and presidential kidnappings, our men and women in uniform are being treated as slaves and concubines to the emperor, not as America’s sons, daughters and protectors. Beyond this, the White House leviathan needs to get truth-based, immediately. We will not live down the ongoing insanity of the words coming out of the pie holes of Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, and Chris Wright.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

What’s Really Driving the Iran War (VIDEO) – “The Iran War, into which we are now 15 days, may well be called WW3 in hindsight. It is not a war fought for the usual reasons, such as theft of resources. This is war driven by religious madness, by eschatological lunacy, where those pushing end times beliefs and messianic prophecy are driving the actions of both the US and Israel.” – Makia Freeman

Netanyahu’s Potential Assassination Leaves White House in Panic Mode – “TRUMP PUSHING ALLIES ON STRAIT OF HORMUZ: Except the US has no more allies. The US has a few countries which want America’s money – but allies? No. Argentina is just another Debt to Taxpayers. The EU is backing off. The Middle East is backing off. The only ones pushing bigger and greater war are Netanyahu and Trump. Rumors of Netanyahu’s death are gaining traction as Israel released two obvious AI fakes. Which leaves Trump in left field fighting a war that Iran will use to economically destroy America undermining Trump’s legacy. A Lone Hyena.” – Helena Glass

Time to Pull the Plug On Trump and Netanyahu – “No US interest is served in allowing political domination by Israel” – Philip Giraldi

Trump Attacks Iran’s Oil Terminal on Kharg Island. “U.S. Troops to West Asia”? Suicide Mission – “President Trump and his War Department confront a quandary. The effort to topple the government of Iran and destroy its ability to protect itself has stalled. It is common knowledge airstrikes alone are unable to accomplish the goal of unseating a government. The only option for Trump is to send ground troops. As part of an effort to flip the narrative and change the perception of the war, Trump rebuked the corporate media. On March 14, he demanded they stop reporting on damage and losses inflicted on the US by Iran. Not long after Trump posted his diatribe, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr went on X and said that broadcasters “are running hoaxes and news distortions” and they have a chance to “correct course before their license renewals come up.” According to Carr, reporting facts about the US-Israeli war against Iran is not “in the public interest.” Apparently the First Amendment and the truth are also not in the public interest. The damage Trump mentions has little to do with the floundering effort to overthrow the government of Iran and balkanize the country and everything to do with leveling with the American people about an undeclared war that does not have clear objectives and a conceivable exit ramp.” – Kurt Nimmo

Frustrated by Failure, an Unhinged Trump Begins to Tilt as Hormuz Standoff Heats Up – “The ‘Special Combat Operation’ continues accumulating unbridled triumphs with Trump’s announcement that he had visited upon Iran’s Kharg island a most biblical of retributions. The very next day, it was reported by multiple MSM outlets that Iran was shipping oil from the island as normal.” – Simplicius

Trump says US may strike Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub ‘just for fun’ – “In comments to NBC News, US president also deflates hope of deal with Tehran, saying ‘terms aren’t good enough’” – Guardian staff  – YEP, WAR IS JUST ALL FUN AND GAMES FOR THE TRUMPSTER!!!!!!

Decoding Trump’s Demand For China To Join His Proposed Hormuz Naval Coalition – “Trump wants to throw Xi into a dilemma before his upcoming trip, which he threatened to delay if China doesn’t join the US’ coalition, but it’s still possible that Xi flips the tables on Trump somehow.” – Andrew Korybko

War Prayer in the White House – “Mark Twain, Anyone? I wasn’t aware that evangelical leaders came to the White House to pray over Trump. I’ve been in oval churches, built in that shape so that there are no corners where the devil can hide. But what if the devil is hiding in plain sight? These so-called christian evangelicals are a scary bunch. I recently wrote to a friend that being a Christian is fairly simple: love God, love thy neighbor, and remember that Christ is the Prince of Peace, the healer of the sick, the benefactor of the downtrodden. What we have instead is a heretical brand of “christianity” with a Warrior-Christ where we’re supposed to despise our neighbor if he’s not a Zionist and/or an evangelical who loves Trump.” – Bill Astore

Betrayal: Trump Loosens Visa Restrictions To Import More Foreign Workers To Address Farm Labor Shortages – “Lowering wages for H-2A workers will not lead to more American workers in agriculture or increased pay for native workers,” – The WinePress

Heading toward heartbreak- “Later this year, we’ll have the midterm elections. Historically, the president’s party loses seats in both chambers, and there’s not really any real indication that this year will be any different. It might be, but we’re just not seeing a whole lot to really suggest it. And that’s bad, because we had a golden opportunity to reform America. We had a majority in the House and Senate, a majority at the Supreme Court, and President Trump in the White House.And we had a chance to make it happen, to reform what America actually is. We didn’t. But when that pendulum swings back the other way, expect the cancel culture to return in full force. The system that we all rely on will likely try to turn on us once again. The IRS, the ATF, the FBI, and anyone else who can poke into your life just might, all because you stood up for what you believed.” – Tom Knighton  – ALL BECAUSE TRUMP WENT FULL BLOWN MIGA INSTAED OF MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: We are Stumbling on the Truth around us Because we Cannot See it – “Thanks to endless government deceptions and now the fog of war, the best we can do to find the truth is stub our toes on it and hope not to trip over it. This past week, we got to see something a little closer to the truth, as even the Trump administration had to cut their original claim of 1.4% growth IN HALF. They came back and reported was really only 0.7% after all.” – David Haggith

US Secretary of Energy Says High Gasoline Prices Might Last Weeks – “Given that diesel and fertilizer prices are soaring, I have a question. So, when is the next farm bailout?” – Mish

Iran’s Currency War Gamble: US Dollars in the Crosshairs and What it Means – “As we have seen with the recent escalations in Iran and throughout the Middle East, the structural backdrop of the global energy market is now shifting. Iran is taking direct aim at cargo ships, and specifically oil tankers, passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Yet, the situation is set to potentially change beyond conflict and military escalations. Now, reports are detailing that Tehran might be considering a move that would directly challenge the dollar’s supremacy by allowing oil to pass through the Strait, provided that the oil cargo is traded in Chinese yuan.To understand why this matters, we have to look at the “Petrodollar.” The petrodollar isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a 50-year-old arrangement where major oil-producing nations price their exports in U.S. dollars. ” – Nomi Prins

PCE Price Index Shows Little Change. That’s A Problem – “Is The US Economy Flirting With Stagnation?” – Peter Nayland Kust

U.S. Government Debt Black Hole Got Bigger in February – “I could almost put this story on a monthly repeat. The federal government ran another big budget deficit in February, as the national debt nudges close to $39 trillion.” – Mike Maharrey

LBMA’s silver house of cards collapses: London DEFAULTS on physical delivery – “The LME suspension is a default. LME paper market has run out of readily deliverable 1,000‑oz bars. The LME’s refusal to specify which metals are affected or how broad the suspension is makes one conclusion inescapable: given the law of logic and David Jensen’s earlier work on London’s silver shortage, this blackout almost certainly covers silver—and strongly implies the market has already defaulted on meaningful physical delivery. This is exactly why India, just two weeks ago, moved to cut LBMA and LME out of its precious‑metal valuation:” – Niko Moretti

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Emergency Shelter Risks: Why Shelters Are Often the Worst Option – “When disasters strike in the United States, the official message is simple: go to a public shelter. Schools, churches, and community centers quickly become temporary housing for evacuees. For many people, that sounds like the safest option available. But the truth is that shelters come with serious downsides that rarely get discussed openly. ” – Bob Rodgers

The $1 Solar Water Heater Hiding In Your Backyard – “It isn’t smart. It doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi. And it doesn’t need a single watt of grid power. It’s just a black garden hose and the same sunlight the Romans used to fill their bathhouses with steaming water two thousand years ago. In other words, the simplest solar technology imaginable may already be sitting in your backyard. And once you see it, you can’t really un-see it.” – Bill Heid

Communication Blackout – What Happens When the Outside World Goes Silent – “Don’t risk your life unnecessarily. Use technology but don’t become dependent on it. Create a small hard copy of important contact information, including addresses and keep it in your wallet. Make a family radio communications plan and practice it regularly.” – Cache Valley Prepper

THE BIG PICTURE

We Are Called. We Should Call Others – “We are called by God to do the right thing—and all too often we do not do that right thing. We only need to turn on the evening news to see the poverty, war, suffering, and injustice that abound in the world. If we are honest with ourselves we must admit we have been called by God to rise above such evils, to make decent provision for the poor among us, to make peace and not war, and to end injustice by treating those who are suffering with mercy and compassion. That such evils persist in the world is the measure of our failure to do the right thing.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Erika Kirk: Beauty Queen of the Psyops – “Born Again Blondes Have More Fun. Shortly after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last September 10, his grieving widow appeared on the scene. There was something significantly “off” about her behavior. “Everyone grieves differently,” we were counseled. Erika Kirk seemed to adopt the kind of grieving process that we’ve seen in the wake of so many mass shooting events. Just who is Erika Kirk? Was she a honeypot, who after flaming out in the world of reality TV, took on a new, much more important assignment? Why are there so many questions surrounding her family history? And what about those kids? The photo above is identical to every other one I could find. No parent documents the lives of their children like that.” – Donald Jeffries

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 14, 2026 (VIDEO) – ““Experts warn about ‘Godzilla’ superstorm that could change the planet in 2026. Global impacts could include floods and droughts around the world” (Ulilad Tech). “Gargantuan hail, destructive tornadoes” (Chicago Tribune). “Explosive mid-March storm to impact 200 million” (AccuWeather). The consequences of climate engineering and climate collapse are manifesting by the day, far worse is coming, time to buckle up.” – Dane Wigington  – DANE’S WEEKLY VIDEO, A MUST WATCH THIS WEEK!!!!

Turkey Is the Next Iran – “Muslim disunity has made it easy for Washington during the first quarter of the 21st century to go to war against Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Iran, in order to free for Greater Israel the land from the Nile to Pakistan. The governments of these Arab countries, blinded by disunity over a succession fight 14 centuries ago, were unable to unite in common defense and were destroyed one by one. If Iran falls, Turkey will be next. Indeed, Turkey set itself up by helping Israeli-America overthrow Syria.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Whackiest Communiqué Ever Written by a U.S. President? – “Trump expresses hope that China and other nations will send warships to the Strait of Hormuz. Does President Trump know that Iran is permitting oil tankers destined for China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz? Note that every military planner who considered what Iran would do if attacked by the U.S. has predicted it would close the Strait of Hormuz as an economic lever against the United States. Trump writes of the “attempted closure” and the need to “keep the Strait open and safe” as though the Straight is not, in fact, closed.” – John Leake

New weapons of mass destruction – “Massive drone swarms as WMD. The introduction of drone control using AI will further optimize the process of destroying large area targets. In fact, drones will become highly accurate WMDs.

At present, no state is able to repel a simultaneous attack of a thousand drones (or even tens of thousands).” – Ashes of Pompeii

CIA Assessment: The Resistance Cannot Be Crushed – “The Judaeo-American war on Iran was intended to be a lightning strike routing, fought exclusively from the air, lasting only a few days. Instead, Washington and its Zionist proxy have blundered into a major multi-front conflict, which could well threaten the Empire’s very existence. The initial US aerial bombardment’s centrepiece was Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s February 28th murder. Initially hailed by Western media as “the assassination of the century,” the vile act has resulted in catastrophe for the perpetrators. Now, Mojtaba Khamenei, the slain Supreme Leader’s son, has taken his place. Iranian citizens of every ethnic and religious extraction braved US-Israeli airstrikes to celebrate his ascension.” – Kit Klarenberg  – FUNNY HOW THE MSM NEVER REPORTED ON THEM CELEBRATING.

ECONOMIC NEWS

Running On Empty – “The massive barrage of missile strikes, the chaotic swarm of counter-drone attacks, and the succession of Mojtaba Khamenei offer sensational headline material. Yet the real destruction, the kind that reshapes civilizations, isn’t happening in the smoky ruins of Tehran. It’s happening in the empty shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz. Skyrocketing oil prices are a noted precursor to declining economic activity. Higher gas prices are not just an inconvenient market fluctuation. They act as a regressive tax on every single human being who eats, moves, or buys things. When the price of gas spikes and the pumps run dry, the very foundation of the global economy crumbles.” – MN Gordon

The Greatest Risk for the Global Economy Is Stagflation Driven by Governments, Not Oil. – “In the worst case, a new energy shock triggered by war with Iran would bring stagflation pressures across the global economy, especially in the economies that have been unable to strengthen their energy supply chains since 2022, like the European Union, which is still in a low-growth environment subject to significant impact from energy shocks. Even if the conflict is short‑lived, the disruption to the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf infrastructure has made the oil market go from an oversupply of 4 million barrels per day, according to the IEA, to a tight balance, as shipping routes come under pressure.” – Daniel Lacalle

Treasury Yields Jump, 10-Year to 4.28%, 30-Year to 4.90%, Mortgage Rates Spike to 6.41%, on Inflation & Deficit Fears – “US Government sold $651 billion of Treasury securities this week into these rising yields.” – Wolf Richter

It is bubble economics and also control. . .. We are talking about something that is entirely demonic.” – Greg Hunter

All signs point to gold price strength – “Inflation, higher interest rates and a strong dollar are bad for gold prices. On the other hand, war, geopolitical stress, bad job reports and stagflation are good for gold. The consensus on gold prices for 2026 is cautiously bullish, with many analysts expecting the precious metal to consolidate at higher levels. I believe gold will see resistance at $5,000, with $100-200 moves on either side for the short term at least.” – Richard Mills

LYRICS FOR THE WEEK ( A COUPLE FROM THE MURPHYS )

I’m a sailor peg
And I lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping off
To find my wooden leg

I’m a sailor peg
And I lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping up to Boston whoa
I’m shipping off
To find my wooden leg

( I’m Shipping Up To Boston by The Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie )

 

Well how do you do, young Willy McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while ‘neath the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day and I’m nearly done

I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the great fallen in 1916
Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
Willy McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound a death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart, is your memory enshrined?
And though you died back in 1916
In that faithful heart, you’re forever 19

Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed forever behind a glass pane
In an old photograph, torn and battered and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound a death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

Now Willy McBride, I can’t help wondering why
Do those who lie here know why they died
Did they really believe when they answered the cause
Did they really believe that this war would end wars?

But the sorrow, the sufferin’, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying were all done in vain
But for Willy McBride, it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again

Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound a death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

THE BIG PICTURE

Insanity, Debt, Unlimited Oil Price Hikes, Famine, and Aggressive War – “My, my, much of the world is shutting down, told to stay home, to work from home, to use less energy, and to restrict travel, all while prices on fuel skyrocket. This is almost similar to another scam called the ‘covid pandemic.’ This is heavily affecting Asia at this time, but the longer this U.S. (Trump) and Israeli (Netanyahu) war idiocy continues, the risk of much higher prices, shutdowns, and economic upheaval will only increase in scope and area. These consequences of aggressive war and regime change always affect the general populations the most, and certainly the ‘unintended’ (not) consequences will become much more in number and severity, likely including famine in many parts of the world.” – Gary D. Barnett

What it is – “What it is is the hubris. Where is the gravity of this “controlled collapse” from our revered leaders?” – Sylvia Shawcross  – SHORT AND TO THE POINT FROM SYLVIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On The 6th Anniversary Of The Covid Plandemic, The World Is Being Thrust Into A New Catastrophe And Climate Lockdown With Oil Shocks Caused By War In Iran – “Crisis Economics 101. This latest war is the next leg of the Great Reset launched in 2020, as the world faces supply-chain and energy shocks echoing the plandemic.” – The WinePress

FBI Case Files Link Epstein to Jimmy Savile – “Newly uncovered documents have linked Britain’s most notorious child predator, Jimmy Savile, to Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The files connect Savile to several other figures connected to Epstein’s network.” – Frank Bergman

War Abroad Should Not Mean Less Freedom at Home – “History suggests that wartime often reshapes the relationship between citizens and government. The United States remains one of the last English-speaking countries where speech and thought are still broadly protected. That did not happen by accident. Yet when we look honestly at the past century, a pattern becomes difficult to ignore. Nearly every major war America has entered has been followed by some erosion of liberty at home.” – Mollie Engelhart

We Are Beings of Light – “How plant blood hidden inside your mitochondria silently harvests the sun — and what this means for everything you thought you knew about energy, aging, and what it means to be alive.” – Sayer Ji

Heads-up: Food crisis incoming – “Prices will rise, shortages will occur. Dear reader, the coming food crisis requires immediate action: 1. Change your diet: Shift toward plant-based proteins like lentils, beans, and chickpeas. Legumes fix nitrogen and require less synthetic urea. Also, this cheap source of protein (especially dried beans) reduces exposure to price volatility. 2. Start your stockpile now: Buy shelf-stable commodities before retail prices adjust. Focus on rice, oats, pasta, and dried beans. 3. Grow and preserve fresh foods: Start plants indoors this spring (in the northern hemisphere). Research what grows in your area and begin seed starting this weekend. Learn to can fresh food to preserve what you grow or supermarket deals.” – Sarah Connor

The a-spiritual President and his Demonic War. – “A holy war and the unholy leader driving it. “The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.” — Donald Trump, 2015 on Bloomberg Politics’ program, With All Due Respect. US President Trump is the most obviously a-spiritual US president I can recall in my life-time—although, Bill Clinton, perhaps, warrants special mention here too. The Trumpster is rarely given to twenty minute off-cuff the remarks expanding on his spiritual faith and practice. Question: “Have you ever asked God for forgiveness?” Answer: “I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.” Interesting answer. But, let’s finish by asking a question for those of us who think of ourselves as Christians? Can those Shia Muslim Iranian school-girls be in any other place than the most heavenly one and on the right hand side of God? I think not. I believe not. I pray not.” – Gerry O’Neill

‘We voted for walls, not wars’: Did strikes on Iran just break MAGA? – “How the war on Iran shattered the loyalty of Trump’s supporters” – Evgeny Balakin

The Inner Cabinet and the Outer Media – “Anyone who is not sick at heart and raging over the slaughter of over 165 young Iranian girls at a school by the American-Israeli monsters waging war on Iran is depraved and evil. It sickens me to state something so obvious, but I am afraid it is true that many are not distraught by the news. A nod to “how terrible” and on with the war is a common response for those who even know about it, not just because of moral indifference but because of the acceleration of digital news reporting that disappears today before it has become tomorrow. The young girls are forgotten with each passing day in the U.S. and Israel – but not in Iran.” – Edward Curtin

Trump Crosses Iran’s ‘Red Line’ By Heavy Bombing Of Kharg Island, Endangering Energy Assets Across Region – “In what could prove to be a major step up the escalation ladder in the two-week-old US-Israeli war on Iran, President Trump on Friday evening (notably after US market closure) announced that US Central Command had carried out a major bombing raid on Kharg Island, which handles upwards of 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports.” – Tyler Durden

Mission Accomplished: Trump Declares Victory as All Sides Intensify Combat – David Haggith

The Madman School of International Diplomacy Madmen and the road to MAD. Donald Trump offers perhaps the most prominent contemporary example. Once a master of transactional negotiation, his later tenure suggests a leader increasingly isolated from factual reality, driven by personal grievance and an intoxicating sense of power. Here, the distinction between the strategic use of unpredictability and actual instability has become dangerously blurred, creating a foreign policy environment defined by chaos rather than calculated risk, where even his closest associates don’t know where his next whim or affront might take him.” – Ashes of Pompeii

When “Diplomats” Engineer War – “The eerie parallels between July 23, 1914 and February 27, 2026. The talks were between Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior advisor Jared Kushner and the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Witkoff and Kushner made the following demands:… In other words, the U.S. envoys asked Iran to surrender ALL of its capacity for projecting military power and deterring missile and aerial attacks on its homeland. It doesn’t matter what you think about the Iranian regime, just as it didn’t matter in 1914 what the Austrian people thought about the Serbian regime. There was simply no way that either regime could accept these demands without placing themselves entirely at the mercy of the Austrians and Americans respectively.” – John Leake

The TV Generals Have Something to Sell You About Iran – “These three kings are working for someone and it’s not us. For all the fears about militarism creeping across America, the generals are already in command —on cable news. The Iran war is the TV generals’ new battlefield. But their real service is to their clients and themselves. Ever since the first Gulf War in 1991, every one of the big networks has hired some retired general or admiral to appear on air as an “expert” to explain the complicated matters of war (and behind the scenes, to smooth matters over with the Pentagon). In reality, it’s all business.” – Ken Klippenstein

Networks Still Using Retired Generals to Sell War – “Serious Conflicts of Interest for America’s War Salesmen and Cheerleaders” – Bill Astore

Macron’s aircraft carrier and warplanes to the Persian Gulf is a dangerous vanity project – “Like a knight in shining armour, French President Emmanuel Macron is vowing to defend Europe’s interests as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran escalates. Macron is not defending Europe or French honor. His theatrical swashbuckling is going to get more people killed and very possibly make the economic impact on Europe even more disastrous.” – Finian Cunningham

London Buses Must Now Be Equipped With STAB KITS – “Knifings become an everyday horror, but no one dares name the real cause” – Steve Watson

As Grasp on Power and Narrative Slips, West Re-Imagines Old Norms – Simplicius

Wars are never about what we’re told they’re about, and this one is no different – “The war with Iran is not about preserving Israel’s existence. It’s not about destroying Iran’s weapons. It has always been about regime change and a broader strategy to control routes and resources.” – Leo Hohmann

Without The Save Act, We are Living in a Slave State and Our Labor Is Harvested by Crooks. – “Did John Thune get a clench in his noble behind when eye-patch-pretend-pirate-guy lost his primary? Added to Trump’s relentless pressure Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week. Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets. The fact that voter fraud has deprived the Republicans of a clear unbreakable majority for THREE election cycles is clearly beyond him. He is functionally retarded. Or a shark committing treason.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Will The Iran War Oil Price Shock Sink Stocks? (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “The military conflict in Iran has sent oil prices to $100/barrel, placing stress on the global economy.

The Act fixed the value of one U.S. dollar at 25.8 grains of gold, set the price at $20.67 per troy ounce, and required the Treasury to redeem paper currency in gold on demand. Gold is trading at roughly over $5,000 today. That means we have a lot of history to unpack and a lot of policy decisions to account for within that gap.” – Nomi Prins

$5,000 Gold Is the “New Normal” – Here’s What It Says About the Economy – “Finally, a “new normal” we can get behind The phrase new normal has carried a lot of baggage in recent years. Lockdowns.

Yet that idea is increasingly appearing in financial commentary.” – Peter Reagan

THE BIG PICTURE

35 Acres and the Scofield Bible (VIDEO) – “According to Hebrew scripture, the 35 acres of land in southeast Jerusalem known as, the Temple Mount, was originally a threshing floor for processing grain and was purchased by King David for the purpose of building an altar. The First Temple was built around 957 BC, stood for nearly four centuries, and was destroyed in 586 BC. It was this First Temple, Solomon’s temple, which became the symbolic importance of the Temple Mount. The Zohar and Kabbalah describe how the demon Asmedai taught Solomon how to control demons, which is how he built the Temple. The legend of King Solomon is arguably the foundation of all Western occultism. Cyrus Scofield received financial support from Samuel Untermeyer, a prominent Jewish Zionist and Scofield’s connection to the wealthy lifestyle of the Lotus Club in New York City. In 1909, with the prestige of Oxford University Press, a reference Bible was published with Scofield’s own notes printed in the same physical space as the biblical text itself. An ideal format to psychologically fool the reader into thinking these radical ideas are sacred text.” – Greg Reese  – VERY INTERESTING SHORT VIDEO FROM GREG. A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America’s Coup – The Evolution of Illuminati and Freemason Chabad – “Front and Center – Kushner. Named hundreds of times in the Epstein files, Kushner and Epstein socialized on a fairly regular basis as well as on a professional basis. Charles Kushner, Jared’s convicted felon father, has had a close relationship with Netanyahu for decades leaving the uncontested rumor open that he is a Mossad Agent as was Epstein. Jared and his father follow the Chabad Movement . An FBI memo within the Epstein release details the fact that Trump was compromised by Israel thru Epstein and Kushner. Berel Lazar, a Chabad-Lubavitch member, was formerly the Chief Rabbi of Russia and remains a close advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Chabad is used by Putin to keep tabs on all the Russo-Jewish oligarchs. The memo asserts that Chabad is a major global source of money laundering. Tolerated.” – Helena Glass

‘Experts’ Know Less than They Think – “All ‘authorities’ should be challenged. It may be absurd to mindlessly trust the “expertise” of Dan Rather, Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, and Bill Gates, but it’s no less dangerous to mindlessly trust the “expertise” of someone whom Wikipedia would no doubt describe as a “real authority.” Dr. Anthony Fauci has all the credentials that people who enjoy credentials salivate over.” – J.B.

Operation Epstein Fury: It’s Jeffery’s War!- “Nobody Asked for This War, But Somebody Sure Needed It Bill Clinton sat for his deposition on February 27th. He raised his right hand, swore an oath before the House Oversight Committee, and spent several hours answering questions about why he treated Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking airline like a municipal bus route. The deposition videos were released to the public. America watched a former president try to explain away decades of flight logs with the energy of a man returning a rental car with a dent he’s hoping nobody notices. “I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong,” Clinton told the committee, which is technically a complete sentence and also the least convincing denial since Pete Rose swore he never bet on baseball. America had questions. Big ones. Uncomfortable ones. The kind of questions that make billionaires call their lawyers and presidents call their generals. On February 28th, the United States and Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran that killed the Supreme Leader, his daughter, his grandchild, and over a thousand civilians in a single morning. The files had become an extinction-level event for the entire American power structure.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Washington’s Latest Big Lie: Iran’s 47-Year War On America, Part 3 – “If you don’t think the Big Lie about “Iran’s 47-Year War on America” has salience, just consider the words this AM of the Donald himself. In the most unhinged and belligerent public utterance of any POTUS in our lifetime, if ever, Trumpy informed the world that he’s getting his rocks off killing Iranians as punishment for their five decades of alleged terror: “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!“ There you have it—the very words of a madman going to town on the Big Lie.” – David Stockman

Trump Says the Iran War Will End “When I Feel It in My Bones” – “Please recall Trump started this war on a “feeling” and poor advice.” – Mish

Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary Unit To Middle East, Oil Spikes On Ground War Fears – “Are we really doing this (again)? Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly alive but wounded, “damaged,” and “disfigured”” – Tyler Durden

The “New” Iran? What Happens Next – “The worst-case scenario is very, very bad: chaos. Think Libya 2011, or Iraq during the darkest days, but this time with ballistic missiles and maybe even some fissionable material loose among the competing factions. Only the most deluded in Washington and Tel Aviv think they know which scenario will be the next step in a new Iran. Only the most deluded in Washington and Tel Aviv think they will have significant influence themselves in what happens next.” – Peter Van Buren

Is there even an off ramp? – “The strategic paradigm regarding Iran has shifted fundamentally. And despite the calls for a ground invasion in some circles, and given the combination of current events on the ground, Iranian resiliance, and logistics, it is simply not possible. Central to this equation is the vindictive nature of President Trump, a trait that transforms geopolitical setbacks into personal grievances, compounded by the “Bibi factor”: Benjamin Netanyahu’s four-decade obsession with confronting Iran, now reaching a point of catastrophic desperation as every strategic avenue fails. Netanyahu has dedicated much of his political life to conflict with an emergent, Islamic Iran. For forty years, he has advocated, plotted, and pressured for decisive action. Now, with Israel under daily barrage and conventional options nearly exhausted, his influence on Washington becomes a volatile accelerant. ” – Ashes of Pompeii

Can Trump even stop the Iran war? – “The war which Trump started is back firing more and more each day. He has very little time left before America wakes up and realises what a dog’s breakfast he has made of it all.” – Martin Jay

Iran is not on a suicide mission. It is on autopilot. And nobody in Tehran can reach the controls. – “The question nobody has asked is whether anyone inside the Islamic Republic can turn it off. No. The reason is constitutional. Ali Khamenei issued the pre-delegation orders. Ali Khamenei is dead. Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed successor on 8th March. He has not spoken. He has not appeared. He has issued no verifiable order. He was wounded in an airstrike and has never addressed his nation in his life. The sole constitutional authority that could override 31 autonomous commands exists in an office occupied by a man who may not be capable of exercising it.” – Shanaka Anslem Perera on X  – DEFINITELY READ THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What If Every Billionaire’s and Senator’s Kid Could Be Sent to Fight in Iran? -“If the road to Tehran required the sons and daughters of the billionaire & political class to march beside everyone else’s kids, would we still be there? The human cost of war, in other words, gets hidden. But a fair national draft would change that overnight. It wouldn’t make America more warlike: history shows it would do the opposite. If every family knew their children could be sent to fight, Americans would demand diplomacy first, second, and third.” – Thom Hartmann

Would You Trust America? The Ailing, Flailing, Failing Empire – “If you were a foreigner (or even an American for that matter), you’d probably conclude that the word of the Trump administration is completely untrustworthy. Dastardly is another “d” word that comes to mind, along with destructive and deadly. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin is shocked, shocked, that Russia is aiding Iran. Russia has crossed the Rubicon here, Slotkin said; she seems to be suggesting that the U.S. widen the war with Iran to target Russia as well. World War III, anyone?” – Bill Astore

As Iran war rages, Washington opens a new front in Ecuador – “The Trump administration has joined the Ecuadoran government’s military campaign against alleged ‘narco-terrorists'” – Pedro Labayen Herrera

Idiocracy: Trump Endorses Jake Paul For Political Office – “This country is a joke.” – The WinePress

CNN Shocked to Discover Propaganda Exists – “(In their defense, they got REALLY good at denial during the pandemic.) Every once in a while the media “discovers” something that has existed for roughly the entire span of modern human civilization but nevertheless announces it like an auctioneer for the House of the Obvious. This week’s breathtaking revelation appears to be that governments sometimes produce… propaganda. That’s right, the same institutions that brought you two unbroken years of dancing vaccine syringes, celebrity mask PSAs, brainwashing disguised as children’s programming, and a nonstop cable-news ticker of “Covid deaths” like the world’s most depressing stock market are shocked—shocked, I tell you!—to learn that the powers that be occasionally try to shape public opinion.” – Jenna McCarthy

Illinois pro-lifers demand answers from Gov. Pritzker on plans for pro-abortion amendment – “Concerns that JB Pritzker may be preparing a pro-abortion amendment prompted a request for documentation of any such plans under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.” – Calvin Freiburger

Russia Threatens to Turn Off Europe’s Gas – “Russia is threatening to embargo natural gas shipments to the European Union. This could double gas prices in Europe. Which could spark a recession, chase the rest of Europe’s heavy industry to America, and leave European households facing thousands in electric bills. Perhaps Europe shouldn’t have closed their coal plants to entertain climate activists.” – Peter St Onge

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Three Pillars of the Bull Case Just Crumbled. What Comes Next Could Be Ugly – “”One by one, the stock market bulls are running out of market props. Throughout the initial round of selling in in stocks, bullish investors pointed to aggregate breadth as indicating that there was underlying strength in the markets. Afterall, how could a bear market unfold if overall breadth is at all-time highs? Well, that argument is gone. Breadth has cratered, erasing nearly all its 2026 gains. – Graham Summers, MBA

Deutsche Bank Dumps After Flagging $30 Billion Exposure To Private Credit – “Yet another canary in the ever growing coalmine that is private credit appeared this morning as Deustche Bank’s annual report flagged a significant €26 billion ($30 billion) exposure to private credit, an asset class that’s grappling with fund redemptions, scrutiny of underwriting standards and the impact of AI on some borrowers such as software makers. As the slow-motion train-wreck gathers steam (most recently with Morgan Stanley, Cliffwater, and BlackRock gating investors in their private credit funds), investors are searching various financial entities balance sheets for exposures with the giant German lender itself warning:” – Tyler Durden

The Fed’s favorite price gauge shows sticky inflation — and little chance of improvement soon – “The core PCE price index has risen 3.1% in the past year. The Iran conflict will push it even higher.” – Jeffry Bartash

Core PCE Inflation Hits 3.1%, Worst in 2 Years, in Unique Twist Blows way past CPI Inflation. Driven by Core Services – “Energy spike is still to come. And today’s GDP inflation measure was revised up to 3.8%, worst since Q4 2022. The Fed needs to pay attention.” – Wolf Richter

Short-term pairs trade favours the dollar – “Gold and silver on pause as funk-money flies to $US. It is becoming clear that Iran is no push over and the economic consequences of this war are dire, with oil at $100 and going higher. The background to this week’s market report is spreading consequences of the joint US—Israeli attacks on Iran, with Iran effectively closing off the Hormuz bottleneck and spreading drone attacks throughout the region. Capital markets are trying to adjust to the economic and financial consequences of an oil price increasingly likely to be higher for longer.” – Alasdair Macleod

How Concerning Are the February Jobs Numbers? – “Slow job growth is expected when we remain near full employment and the working-age population is growing slowly.” – William J. Luther

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

10 GARDENING ITEMS YOU NEED TO HAVE – “Gardening is an essential skill. You need to know how to grow your own food. If times get hard, you can supplement your grocery bill by growing your own vegetables. You can grow your own vegetables for a fraction of the price of buying them at the grocery store. You also get the satisfaction of knowing you grew something. (It’s the best feeling ever!) Gardening is also a skill you want to master when the times get really bad. Seeds are cheap (stock up!) and provide so much food for the small investment. However, you do need to have some items on hand to help you garden.” – Erica Nygaard

Start Replacing Cash with THIS Right Now! – “A stack of cash used to feel like a reliable backup. The role of cash is slowly shrinking. That matters more than it used to, because the world around the financial system is becoming less stable. That realization is pushing some people to rethink their backup plan. Instead of relying only on cash, they are starting to move part of their savings into something that does not depend on banks or digital networks.” – Kate L. Gilmour

Preparing for Curfews: How to Stay Supplied During Civil Unrest – “Curfews tend to arrive with very little warning. One evening everything feels normal, and a few hours later your city is under restrictions and stores are closing early. It has happened before during riots, hurricanes, blackouts, and other emergencies, and it will happen again. For families who never thought about preparing for curfews, the scramble begins immediately, with people rushing to grocery stores and pharmacies trying to gather whatever they can before restrictions take effect.” – David Andrew Brown
