THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Entire Russian City Enveloped In Smoke & Darkness After Major Refinery Attacked – “The major Russian industrial city of Volgograd, in the country’s southwest, is being engulfed in smoke and darkness on Friday after a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks scored several hits on key sites.

During the attack a residential area was also struck, resulting in the death of a woman in her destroyed home.” – Tyler Durden

What is astonishing is the speed of the deterioration. There were approximately 6 million borrowers in default last August. That figure jumped to 7.7 million by December. By April it had reached 9.2 million. Another 3 million borrowers are reportedly at least 90 days delinquent and appear headed in the same direction.” – Martin Armstrong

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

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

She and her husband still have important things to do, and they need to be kept safe and sound while they pen agreements for Netflix programs about NBA players and stuff. This is the same mentality as the climate crusaders who board private jets to Europe to discuss how you shouldn’t be allowed to continue driving the 2002 Toyota Tundra that was all you could afford because of greenhouse emissions.

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

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

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

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

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

The cost of doing business in the Emerald City has been driving companies away, and Wilson’s wave-goodbye indifference has only heightened the problem. Now, the mayor wants to boost taxes – again… Seattle and New York may be separated by nearly 3,000 miles, but they’re reading from much the same playbook: bigger government, higher taxes, and promises of more “free” benefits. ” – Kelli Ballard

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

Chinese regulators remember what happens when retail traders get caught on the wrong side of leveraged commodity products. That’s why the official explanation for what just happened to silver makes sense. But here’s the thing. This isn’t a temporary suspension. What’s left is physical pricing. And that’s worth understanding, because the Shanghai Gold Exchange doesn’t work like Western exchanges.” – Nomi Prins

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

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

The Legal Gray Zone of Rainwater Collection in Drought States – “Homeowners across the American West have been quietly setting rain barrels under their gutters for years, often without realizing that in some counties this small act sits in a strange legal limbo. On one hand, state agencies plead with residents to conserve water, offer rebates for efficient fixtures, and publish glossy brochures about sustainability.

Digitization and Tokenization: The Great Taking of “All” Private Assets – “This is a subject that I have discussed on many occasions for years, but the acceleration of this atrocity of mass government theft is now progressing at lightning speed, and openly admitted to by the powers behind the throne. The evildoing Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, who by the way, was Trump’s first choice for Secretary of the Treasury, (Position now filled by Scott Bessent) is also the Chairman of the heinous World Economic Forum (WEF). He also was a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and her run for president in 2016. His past is rife with far left-wing politics, so any notion that there is any difference between the democrats and republicans should by now be dismissed.” – Gary D. Barnett

Fauci’s Historic Diary: a conversation with Debbie Lerman (VIDEO) – “We spent some time addressing the false advertisement of the document as “Fauci’s personal diary”. Here is Rand Paul himself lying about it. This is designed to elicit angry and immature emotional response from the public and drown-out any critical assessment of the document: While Fauci is being presented as an evil mastermind, somehow having magical jurisdiction over 50 states and 180+ countries, and being accused of funding “dangerous GOF virus research in Wuhan”, Senator Paul is strangely not interested in a full scale manufacturing of that “dangerous GOF bioweapon virus” right here in the United States by our brave DARPA forces at the time when no such “GOF bioweapon” was circulating in the country (March 5, 2020 press conference at the Pentagon).” – Sasha Latypova

In recent years, dear reader, Jews all over the Earth have been voicing anxious concern over the rise of anti‑Semitism in the lands of Russia, and subsequently, the greater world. Why do so many Russians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians and others blame the Jews for so much misfortune? Although officially Jews have never made up more than five percent of the country’s total population, they played a highly disproportionate and a decisive role in the infant Bolshevik regime, effectively dominating the Soviet government during its early years. Soviet historians, along with most of their colleagues in the West, for decades, preferred to ignore this subject. The facts, though, cannot be denied. With the notable exception of Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov), most of the leading Communists who took control of Russia in 1917‑20 were Jews.” – Jordan Nuttall  – JORDAN IS A GOOD SOURCE FOR FINDING ALTERNATIVE HISTORY, HE ALWAYS USES DOCUMENTATION!!!

Democrat-run Chicago Blames Trump for 7 More Grocery Store Closings – “In late 2020, Save A Lot decided to get out of the retail business and focus on the wholesale business. The company then put its 300-plus retail grocery stores up for sale. In September of the following year, it sold 23 of those stores located throughout Milwaukee, Ohio, and Chicago, to a black-owned business called Yellow Banana. What’s important here is that Save A Lot had no intention of closing those 23 stores. Those stores were merely sold off with the 300 others. Despite Mr. Canfield being a shady character, after Yellow Banana purchased these Save A Lot stores (maybe with stolen money), sometime around 2022-2023, the City of Chicago handed Canfield’s Yellow Banana — get a load of this — a $26 million redevelopment agreement that included a $13 million taxpayer-financed loan to fix up six of these seven stores. Needless to say, conditions at these seven Chicago stores did not improve. Funny how, uh, SNAP/EBT cuts are not forcing other grocery stores to close down. So, in summation…. Save A Lot sold its stores to a shady businessman. The City of Chicago handed $13 million in taxpayer money to a shady businessman. Everyone’s business plan was to count on welfare and welfare fraud to stay in business. But by all means, let’s blame the Orange Bad Man.” – John Nolte

Will the “Fat Lady” Finally Sing? – “Remember Covid-19? Seems like long ago in a world that time forgot. Well, you get to revisit the whole sketchy business on Wednesday, July, 29, when Dr. Anthony Fauci is called to testify about it to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Though half the USA is still psychotic and unable to process reality, the other half of the country understands that Dr. Fauci has some ‘splainin’ to do. Dr. Fauci was initially invited but declined to appear (didn’t feel like it), so the committee issued a subpoena compelling him (under penalty of up to a year in jail for failure to show). Because Dr. Fauci was given a peremptory pardon by “Joe Biden,” he cannot legally invoke the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination.

That smart speaker on your nightstand heard you breathe. Your WiFi router mapped your movements through walls. The phone charging beside your pillow tracked your REM cycles, your midnight tossing, your 3 AM anxieties. All of it flowed through fiber optic veins into climate-controlled bunkers where analysts sift through domestic lives like archaeologists studying extinct species—except you’re very much alive, still walking, still paying monthly subscriptions for the privilege of being monitored. This is the unvarnished reality of existence in 2026: privacy didn’t merely erode—it was systematically dismantled, commodified, and fed into machine learning systems that predict your behavior before you conceive the thought. ” – Milan Adams

Priorities – “Over the weekend, Shiloh Hendrix, the woman who went viral for the use of a racial slur in a video, reportedly after using the same slur on an autistic black child who took something from her kid. The sentence was 90 days in jail, 200 hours of community service, and a $1,000 fine. There are issues with this, to say the least, because it still boiled down to someone using their right to free speech in an unkind way, but that’s the least of it for me. No, the bigger problem is the judge who handed down this sentence. While taking a hard line on Hendrix’s speech, the judge who ordered the sentencing in the Hendrix case, Christa Daily, has a track record of granting outrageous plea deals, letting convicted sex offenders off with light punishments and little to no jail time. How can Daily look at these cases and think, “You know, the guy who raped the 15-year-old and the woman who raped a couple of her patients, they’re stand-up people who don’t need to go to prison, but this n-word using woman…oh, oh, man!

They did not induce Iran to change its position on its effective control of the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait is blocked, oil can not flow, and higher prices at the pump will diminish votes for Trump’s party in the upcoming elections. The U.S. military has only stopped for a moment – it has not ended its war on Iran. There are still more than 100 U.S. tanker airplanes in the Middle East together with additional fighter jets and special operations units.

THE DEEPER DIVE: Even after the Fed’s New Rigging, Inflation is Going to Get Hotter and Hotter for Months to Come – “The Fed’s new boss has found a new way to cook the books to make prices LOOK a little nicer for you, but take a deeper look at the real forces from another endless war that are going to cook prices.” – David Haggith   – LINKED ABOUT THIS ON FRIDAY AS WELL

Why Gold Fell During a War…and Why That Drop May Already Be Done – “Gold hit an all-time high above $5,500 back in January. Since that time, it’s given back roughly a quarter of its value, dropping into the low $4,000s. What’s striking about this is that this drop occurred despite: Geopolitical uncertainty. Demand remaining strong. Regarding #1, gold historically has performed exceptionally well during periods of geopolitical stress. ” – Graham Summers, MBA

Homeownership in America Is Worse Than You Think – “The American Dream is slowly fading to black.” – Andrew Moran

Long-Term Treasury Yields Jump as Bloodied Bond Market Gets Edgier about Inflation & the Massive New Debt – “During the last debt scare, the 10-year yield hit 5%, and the floodgates of demand opened. Now the debt is $6 trillion bigger; no guarantee 5% will open the floodgates again.” – Wolf Richter

Inflation and Financial Repression: How They Hide Deficits and Fund Forever Wars – “Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, thrice a pattern. You almost have to admire the consistency. The Pattern is so blatant it’s basically policy now: price oil outside the dollar, get a visit from freedom. Libya and Gaddafi flirt with a gold-backed dinar in 2011—reduced to rubble. Iraq and Saddam talk euro for oil in the early 2000s—shock and awe, 2003. Russia settles oil in yuan—Ukraine war in 2014/2022. Venezuela moves toward yuan—Maduro sanctioned into oblivion since 2017, then kidnapped. And now Iran is on deck.” – The Silver Academy

Are You Prepared for Inflation? Are You Prepared for Deflation? – “And how about both? Letter 1 of 3 on this topic. We’ll start with getting terms straight, because Washington and the financial press have spent decades blurring them on purpose or out of ignorance or both. ” – John Hunt, MD .

Recession Watch: Private Credit Bubble Threatens the Mega Banks – “One of the selling points of “real” banks like JPMorgan Chase or Bank of America is that they’re immune to the debauchery of the private credit “shadow banking system.” But it turns out that mainstream banks have also been feasting on those fat private credit fees and high loan rates. And now they’re reaping that particular whirlwind.” – John Rubino

At first glance, everything may still look green and productive. But beneath the surface, your garden could be running on fumes.” – Bill Heid

Someone spent three hours bowing furiously against a piece of scrap pine, arms shaking and palms blistered, and never produced so much as a wisp of real smoke. In truth, the outcome of a bow drill attempt is largely decided before the bow ever touches the string, in the choice of species, the moisture sitting inside the fibers, and a handful of physical variables that most instructional content glosses over in favor of showing someone look strong and capable on camera.” – Bob Rodgers

One God In Father, Son, And Holy Spirit – “One such point, which recently wandered across my very narrow attention span, was the concept of the Triune God—one God expressed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Why does it matter? It matters because if we are to pray effectively, if we are to cultivate the mindset conducive to prayer, we must be clear in our own minds to whom we pray. It matters because if we are to worship with honesty and integrity, we must be clear in our own minds who it is whom we worship.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Call them OPCs, not Flock Cameras – “I’m trying to retitle these infernal devices which, for now, have the pleasant name of Flock cameras, like a happy flock of birds flying above you in the blue sky. In reality, they are Outdoor Prison Cameras, or OPCs, for controlling the population in the open-air prison they are turning America into. We never voted to live in open air prisons, where our every move is recorded and shared between a network of 100,000 spy cameras, all driven by artificial intelligence to seek out potential “criminals.”” – Matt Bracken

These Make Flock Surveillance Look Like Child’s Play! (VIDEO) – “And if you’re a truth seeker, you probably like your freedoms. You like your Bill of Rights to be real. Therefore, mass surveillance. It legitimately needs to be conquered. I have loved the past couple weeks the revolt against flock safety cameras has been going all over. But these Axon light post cameras, surveillance networks, it really makes flock look like child’s play. And by the way, flock like it’s just it’s not child’s play, it’s authoritarianism.But light post makes that authoritarianism look like child’s play.” – JP Reacts

Minnesota mom convicted of “disorderly conduct” for saying bad word to Somali man who harassed her – “Minnesota is gonna Minnesota. Shiloh Hendrix caught a 9-year-old Somali boy rifling through her diaper bag while she was at a Rochester playground with her toddler in 2025. In her frustration, Hendrix said the N-word to the kid. An unrelated Somali man who was once charged with raping a teen girl just happened to be at the playground (of course) and overheard her. He confronted Hendrix, shoving his camera in her face as he demanded that she admit to her crime of saying a bad word. Holding her young child close, Hendrix got angry at the man who was harassing her. She flipped him off and called him the N-word. She was given one year of probation, a $1,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, and a stayed 90-day jail term.” – Joel Abbott

MAGA’s Calling For The Annihilation of 93 Million Iranians – So Trump Can Have OIL – “What does it say when Media pundits, charlatans, influencers, etc.. call for the annihilation of 93 MILLION Iranians because ‘they are brutes’? The purpose of the war on Iran was not to save the Iranians, to stop Nuclear proliferation, or to open the Strait – the purpose of War is simply to WIN. And if that means annihilating the entire population of a country it means EVERY country across the globe is the next target. It means that not all men on earth are humans. It means these persons were NOT created by God. When addressing the Commentary claiming Iran forced Trump to levy chaos and destruction, death and dismembering, because Iran started the War 47 years ago in 1979 – the level of ignorance is unfathomable!

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Well my name’s John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He’d buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It’s before my time but I’ve been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason’s Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin’ sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin’, knew something wasn’t right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin’ down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,’round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.’s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I’m back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol’ Charlie don’t you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

THE BIG PICTURE

World Noahide System (VIDEO) – “This in my opinion will be the bridge to the antichrist religion.I wanted to address why Christians need to understand what this is. Now these seven laws resemble the ten commandments and that is why a lot of Christians don’t understand the issue here. They don’t understand well the these are all good things, right? Prohibiting idolatry, prohibiting blasphemy, prohibiting sexual immorality. These are all good things and they look like the ten commandments. So what’s the big deal? The big deal is you will not find this specific set of laws that were given to Adam. They say the first six apparently were given to Adam and then the seventh was given to Noah. It was added on for Noah. Nowhere in the scriptures, nowhere in the living word of God will you find them.The seven Noahide laws are derived from the Talmud.” – Ashley Hays  – YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THIS, BUT YOU BETTER BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Climate Change is universally acknowledge to be the absolute pile of crap it is, they will lose billions. So taxpayers’ money will go straight there, and there has been no evidence that anything these organizations have engineered that did anything but take land. And bank it.

FOURTH TURNING GLOBAL WAR – “Everything about this war on Iran is based on lies, mistruths, and propaganda, as the true motive is to further Netanyahu’s Greater Israel project of taking Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, while defanging Iran and Turkey. Netanyahu convinced Trump it would be a cakewalk, or more likely, threatened Trump with revelations from the Epstein files. The assassination of Charlie Kirk for beginning to reveal the truth about Israeli control of the U.S. government and genocide in Gaza was also a warning shot across Trump’s bow. ” – Jim Quinn

Watch What He Does, Not What He Says: Why Trump Will Never Tell You the Real Story – “I want to be precise about this, because people always get it wrong. Trump doesn’t lie. Not in the way most people use that word. He speaks in untruths — that’s a big difference that matters when you’re trying to trade or invest off what he says. A lie is when somebody sets out to deceive you. An untruth is a negotiating move that happens to be dressed up as a sentence. If you grade him on accuracy you’ll constantly be wrong and come to despise him, which you might do anyway. Grade him on incentive-alignment and suddenly the guy makes total sense, even when he doesn’t.” – Kerry Lutz

‘Shameful’: Pentagon accused of cover-up over US military casualties in Iran war – “The defence department has not held a press briefing for two-and-a-half months. Officials have faced accusations that they are engaged in a cover-up designed to hide the true cost of Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran, fearing a public backlash before November’s midterm elections.” – David Smith

The Israeli Tool of FIRE Across Europe And The Americas – “Massive wildfires have erupted across Spain – roughly a week or two after Netanyahu threatened terrorism across Spain for daring to defame the most moral army in the world – IDF. Netanyahu warned Spain that it would “pay an immediate price” for waging a diplomatic war against Israel. 95% of all fires are caused by human activity – not simple heat and wind. Half of all wildfires are intentional. The wildfires in Patagonia Argentina and Chile were observed to have been caused by Jewish ‘tourists’. However, media pundits will typically forget these factoids and blame climate change. Israel swore vengeance. Israel ALWAYS gets its vengeance. Why any Middle East country would continue to support Israel or the United States at this juncture is truly odd. Why the Saudi’s would need US permission is the first and most glaring anomaly. But a King Trumps a Prince. And that would seem to be our president’s view of himself on the global stage.” – Helena Glass

And neither is the bulk of what Chinese firms actually do in the global marketplace. The Chicoms are mainly conventional competitors in commerce—hard-driving, cost-obsessed, scale-seeking manufacturers and incremental improvers who play the same imitation-adaptation-commodification game every rising commercial power has played since the Industrial Revolution.” – David Stockman

Homeownership has helped millions of Americans build wealth over time. A paid-off home can provide stability in retirement.

Where’s the Turtle? – “The war has diverted attention away from the disappearance of the Dirty Old Turtle, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Just as it has diverted attention away from what is colloquially styled the Epstein Files, the contents of which are probably why we’re at war (at the behest of Israel, which was probably running the honeypot operation using Epstein as its willing front man). The case of the Dirty Old Turtle is remarkable in its own right because it is unprecedented – at least in the modern era. As for example the identities of the people who have to know whether the Dirty Old Turtle is alive. Or alive but brain dead. They are his staffers. They may also be criminals. It being a crime to conceal a death. It being fraud to be complicit in the telling of consequential lies pertaining to the public’s business.

Minister of Agrarian Policy Taras Vysotsky announced that Odessa has been completely shut down with no ships any longer able to enter its ports:” – Simplicius

Bond Market Just Flipped to “Rate Hike in July” as 2-Month Treasury Yield Spiked by 13 Basis Points – Wolf Richter

Adapting to Higher Yields – “Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently said he wouldn’t buy long-term U.S. Treasuries. His rationale is simple, he “doesn’t understand the upside.” Here at the Economic Prism, we don’t understand the upside either. But, unlike Dimon, we’re not running the largest primary dealer of U.S. Treasuries on Earth. Primary dealers, remember, are the elite financial institutions obligated to participate in U.S. Treasury auctions. Their purpose is to help grease the wheels of Uncle Sam’s multi-trillion-dollar borrowing machine. Yet Dimon, the chief architect of that machine’s biggest partner, just publicly bashed the product.” – MN Gordon

Gold and silver in wartime – “Some analysts tell us that gold goes down in war. This is rubbish. Otherwise, why would countries in the past have suspended their gold standards at wartime? There are some specious arguments being advanced for the lacklustre performance of gold and silver in recent weeks, and the argument above is just one of them. This week, gold and silver showed signs of turning a corner after their major declines since end-January. This morning they are tickling a little better, but investors need to focus on the big picture.” – Alasdair Macleod

I got to be honest with you. just one day the war is going to be over in a couple of days they Iran is begging for a deal the next day they’re going to be wiped off the planet and this has happened over and over and over again so I just wish I supported the man I I voted for him twice I just wish he would just make his decision and and go with it because it’s very difficult to model the second derivative of inflation when oil goes from 65 to 120 back to 67 and then back all because of a a few you know Twitter posts about what we’re doing with the war. ” – Kerry Lutz’s Financial Survival Network

New Information Reveals America’s Power Grid Is Running on Empty… And That’s Why Off-Grid Living Makes More Sense Every Day – “Homesteaders have always understood something the modern world keeps forgetting: independence rarely arrives all at once. It begins with one garden bed, one rain barrel, one woodpile, one shelf of canned food, or one backup battery. Each small step reduces the number of things that must go right somewhere else for your family to remain safe. That same thinking belongs in our energy plans.” – Bill Heid

Add a Hand Pump to an Electric Well – “Learn how to install a backup hand pump on an existing well and avoid power-outage droughts.” – Larry Pina

Power from the Wreckage – “Building small, repairable energy systems from the electrical remains of a dead civilization. Eventually, the last commercially manufactured backup-power system will fail. That does not necessarily mark the end of electricity. Modern civilization has scattered electrical equipment almost everywhere. Vehicles contain alternators, motors, heavy cable, fuse blocks, relays, switches and sockets. Buildings contain kilometres of copper wire. Computer backup systems contain batteries, chargers and inverters. Damaged solar installations may still have functional panels. Appliances contain motors, fans, switches, bearings and capacitors.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

How Much is it Going to Cost Us? – “How much could Trump’s stupid, evil – and apparently never-ending – war with Iran ( for Israel) cost us? it could soon be costing Americans $7 per gallon – due to the price of crude oil reaching (possibly surpassing) $200 per barrel. Does Trump give any thought to the consequences of gasoline at $7 per gallon? Probably not, because gasoline could go up to $20 per gallon and he wouldn’t feel it. Seven dollar gas would end America as we have known it. It would “break the back” of the world economy” – Eric Peters

The Odyssey And The Tiresome Woke War Against White Culture – “We’ve all heard the argument for most of our lives: “White culture doesn’t exist.” It’s perhaps the most common racial refrain because it’s the most socially acceptable to repeat. If someone said “Black culture doesn’t exist because black people all herald from different tribes…” that person would be browbeaten as a bigot by the woke mob. When it comes to white culture, such claims are applauded. The question is, why is it okay to diminish or denigrate white culture while worshiping every other culture? Furthermore, if white culture doesn’t exist, why are woke minority groups constantly trying to hijack white history and accomplishments?” – Brandon Smith

Weather Warfare & Geoterrorist Attacks Launched Across The Planet – “If 2026 has shown the world community of nations one thing, it’s that The Powers That Be no longer care that their weather warfare and other types of geo-terrorism are being routinely used in plain sight. The most transparent act of geo-terrorism in the USA is the now annual arsonist-started wildfires and firestorms, which are purposefully spread throughout Eastern Canada and produce so much smoke and ash and haze that health alerts are now frequently issued across the affected states. See the following email sent to SOTN by a regular reader: “I’m 70 years old and I grew up and lived much of my life near the US-Canadian border. Prior to 2023 or thereabouts I never remember experiencing these out-of-control fires in Canada that now trigger health alerts in the USA—NEVER! Now, they’re happening every year without interruption—very odd indeed.”’ – A Weather Warfare Watcher / State of the Nation Exclusive

The New Energy Map: Power, Technology, and the Architecture of the Twenty-First Century – “Energy is no longer simply a commodity — it has become the operating system of global power, where oil, electricity, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence are woven into a single architecture redefining the balance of power in the 21st century.” – Phil Butler

United Nations Claims All Must Fight “Climate Change” – “The UN just declared that every nation has a legal duty to obey its climate agenda—or face the consequences. Reports about the death of climate alarmism have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, obeying United Nations climate decrees is now officially “international law.” At least that is what two key UN entities and more than 140 national governments would like humanity to believe.” – Alex Newman

Governments Have No Authority Over Our God-Given Rights – “Fake ‘democracies’ cannot be allowed to take what God gives us.” – J.B. Shurk |

Getting Away with Murder: Under Trump, the Buck Stops Nowhere – “Having burned through billions of dollars and depleted critical munitions stockpiles, the Pentagon is running out of money. Our money. Once again, the government is looking to the American people for a taxpayer-funded bailout—this time to the tune of $67 billion. Nor is the $67 billion emergency infusion the end of it. Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget calls for an unprecedented $1.5 trillion in national-defense spending—a staggering increase that would pour still more money into a military apparatus that cannot account honestly for the costs of its current war, maintain its existing priorities, or keep from returning to taxpayers for another bailout. That is becoming a familiar pattern under Donald Trump. He makes the decisions—others absorb the consequences. He launches the war—the troops make the sacrifices, and taxpayers inherit the bill.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The “Greatest Threat” to America? – “Hegseth wants your money. In his eternal quest to remind everyone there’s a dumber official than Sebastian Gorka (somehow), the Secretary of War testified under oath that the greatest threat to America is not giving the Pentagon more money. “Not funding this department at $1.5 trillion, I believe, is the greatest threat that our nation faces,” he told the Senate. The one-and-a-half trillion dollar figure refers to the record budget sought by the military.” – Ken Klippenstein

The End Of The Islamic Republic: Oilpocalypse Maybe? – “If War Continues, Persian Gulf Oil Does Not Flow” – Peter Nayland Kust

War is Peace! – “That’s the new motto of the Trump administration as it lights Iran on fire by hitting nuclear sites and contemplates starting a new war in Africa because you just can’t have too much peace! President Trump threatened to open up an entirely new war n the West African nation of Mali to rid it of al Qaeda. That should be fun as we know how these al Qaeda ambitions go. If approved, [the plan] would add an eighth nation to the list of countries where President Donald Trump has ordered strikes since the start of his second term – a chapter of his presidency that he initially said would be dedicated to ending global strife and redirecting U.S. resources to Americans.” – David Haggith

Oil hits $100 a barrel after Iran-backed Houthis ‘strike two tankers’ in Red Sea – “Attacks by proxy militia threaten to open new front in Iran war near alternative shipping route to Strait of Hormuz” – Emily Blumenthal and Chris Price

Old Fools, New Fools – “The Democratic Socialists of America dust off the old playbook… To be sure, the new stupid ideas sound suspiciously like the old stupid ideas… but now they are nuclear-armed and college-miseducated, too! Take the latest trend toward so-called “democratic socialism” in the United States of America… This is the idea, as far as we can tell, that seeks to launder the astonishing conceit of collectivist wisdom through the echoing braincases of the unwashed mobjority… so not only are voters saddled with a system that has never worked in all of human history, but they get to thank their neighbors for having forcibly imposed it upon them, too!” – Joel Bowman

Oil Surges Six Percent. Brent Above $100, WTI at $92. Thank Trump – “Trump’s tit-for-tat war with Iran escalates. You pay the price.” – Mish”

If “Inflation” Rises, Sell Gold. Say what? – “Unpredictable leaders of warring countries create volatility and generalized fear. Bombs are falling near and on the Strait of Hormuz. Oil jumped 16% in five trading sessions. And yet gold, the asset people want to have when the world is on fire—the asset that people squirrel away in their pockets as they flee the invading hordes—has fallen in dollar terms. 2.6% over that same week. And it broke below $4,000 an ounce for a moment. Selling gold is now being called “risk off.” Really? Is this akin to when data show the economy is doing poorly, the stock market rises? Pretty much. We live in a topsy-turvy world.” – John Hunt, MD

The House Next Door Just Became a Threat – “When a neighbouring property changes hands, your entire security picture changes with it. During normal times, the house next door is simply part of the neighbourhood. You recognize the vehicles, know when the occupants leave for work and barely notice the lights coming on at night. After a prolonged collapse, that familiarity can disappear quickly. A neighbour may evacuate without warning. A vacant home may be occupied by displaced families, transient scavengers or people searching for supplies. Unknown vehicles may begin arriving after dark. Curtains may move inside a house that was supposed to be empty. None of this automatically means the new occupants are hostile. It does mean that every assumption you previously made about that property must be reconsidered.” – denob

Best Hand Saw for Cutting Logs and Firewood – “The best hand saw for cutting logs depends mainly on the size of the wood. For large logs and serious firewood cutting, a one-person or two-person crosscut saw is usually the best choice. For smaller logs or occasional use, a 24-inch timber saw or bow saw is easier to handle. Below are the best options for cutting logs, tree trunks, and firewood by hand, along with the strengths and limitations of each type.” – Ken Jorgustin
