THE BIG PICTURE

The great 1913 con and how it affects you today – “The largest check I’ve ever written was to the Internal Revenue Service. It all began in 1913 when a new tax was explicitly designed as a tax on the rich, sparing the vast majority of working- and middle-class Americans entirely. The following content is organized into subsections for greater clarity, making it easy to read and understand.” – Kenn Gividen  – MOST OF THIS I ALREADY KNEW BUT IT’S A GREAT READ ON HOW INCOME TAXES AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE GOT STARTED AND WHY WE HAVE LOST SO MUCH VALUE FROM A DOLLAR!!!!!!!!

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up Sometimes Your Brain Feels Like It Is On Fire – “5G towers are every where and if you feel like you can’t think for yourself, it could easily be that you live near way too many cell phone towers.” – Mitch Santell   -SHORT OLDER VIDEO BUT WELL WORTH WATCHING!!!!!!

Oracle and the Rise of the AI Surveillance State Under Trump – “While Peter Thiel’s firm Palantir has rightfully gained the ire of the American public, Larry Ellison’s Oracle is also steadily becoming entangled with the US government—and that should worry all Americans.” – Derrick Broze  – SEE THE DREW DOSSIER’S VIDEO FROM YESTERDAY ON ELLISON AND ORACLE!!!!!!!

World Economic Forum Says Water, Soil, And Oxygen Should Not Be Infinitely Accessible. They Are Assets That Should Be Included In Global Economic Balance Sheets -““The More Smog in the Sky, The More People Will Buy!” -Mr. O’Hare.

Amendment Twenty-Five NOW! – ” I can say without hesitation that America has not had an Honest and Wise man in the White House for the entirety of the current century. And while I presumed that no future president could ever be worse than Joe Biden, Donald Trump quickly proved me wrong. Except for the brainwashed, braindead evangelical Christian Zionists, the whole world knows that Donald Trump is certifiably insane. They also know that he is an international war criminal. It’s one thing to be demented, as was Biden during the last two years of his term in office; it is quite another thing to be criminally insane, as is being clearly demonstrated every day by Donald Trump. America has a madman in the White House! And while the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution authorizing the administrative cabinet to remove an unfit president from office has never been used, the time has come for its implementation. And I mean NOW!” – Chuck Baldwin

TACO King Declares Ceasefire with NOTHING Won! – “Trump lost EVERY possible objective he boasted about during his Iran War. I will lay that out plainly for all to see.” – David Haggith

Why the Ceasefire is Doomed – Chris Hedges

Who’s Afraid of Emmanuel Macron? – “Europe’s weak leaders made Europe weak. What a tool. I understand that “the powers that be” have so successfully co-opted the West’s political systems that they regularly install absolute nincompoops as nominal leaders (Biden, Starmer, Carney, Merz, and European Queen Ursula, just to name a few) and call it “democracy,” but Macron is such a doofus that his “leadership” is laughable. Remember when the little Rothschild banker came to power a few months after President Trump had taken office and he couldn’t stop talking about standing up to “bullies”? After putting on some high-heeled loafers and taking some lessons on masculinity from his former-schoolteacher-turned-much-older-wife, Macron insisted on turning a handshake with Trump into a death grip meant to showcase French power.” – J.B. Shurk

Iran war day 41: What’s happening in Lebanon, Middle East and beyond? – “Lebanon has declared a national day of mourning after Israeli attacks killed at least 254 people in a single day. “The scale of the killing and destruction in Lebanon today is nothing short of horrific,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said. “Such carnage, within hours of agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran, defies belief.”” – Elizabeth Melimopoulos and Reuters

Ceasefire-Allergic Israel Bombs Lebanon after Pakistan-brokered Deal – “Iran said if Israel doesn’t stop bombing civilians in Lebanon, it will not respect the ceasefire. Within hours of the ceasefire between Iran and the United States, Israel launched a massive attack, bombing multiple sites simultaneously in Lebanon. Pakistan mediated the agreement and Lebanon was included in the two-week ceasefire. Israel reacted predictably. It conducted more than 100 airstrikes within ten minutes on South Lebanon, Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley. The IDF said the attacks are the “largest coordinated strike across Lebanon” since March 2.” – Kurt Nimmo

Israel Blows up Lebanese Town of Naquora – “Video footage reveals explosive charges exploding what appears to be the entire village. How does one justify laying explosive charges all over a town in southern Lebanon and detonating them at once, thereby destroying what appears to be the entire village?” – John Leake

Iran Took Trump to the Cleaners!  (VIDEO) with Larry Johnson  – “Larry, who who sought who begged for a cessation of violence in the Iran war? Was it Israel? Was it the US? Was it Iran? Donald Trump. It was Donald Trump. The United States. They started, you know, the second week of the war, so about mid-March,  sending intermediaries to to the Iran. Hey, hey, let’s let’s get together and talk. How can we settle this? Iran says we we don’t have anything to talk to you about. Period. I think what changed or what made yesterday possible is the Chinese  intervened or the Chinese spoke to the Iranians ” – Judge Andrew Napolitano / Judging Freedom – GOOD INTERVIEW!!!!

US Soldiers in Middle East abandoned without Direction, Strategy, or PLAN B – “Trump has announced that 100,000 troops stationed across Europe will come back to the US to punish Europe for not bombing Iran. Additionally, given many bases in the Middle East were leveled, as in completely uninhabitable, leaving those 30,000+ troops to be reassigned as well. Where will they go? US bases have been in various stages of extremely uninhabitable to barely habitable due to mold, dirty water, and lack of repairs or maintenance. Will European bases be abandoned? Germany alone hosts 20 bases housing 35,000 troops. The threats continue while the logistics are not considered. The bases across Europe were established as central to bomb Middle East and African countries as a Defense hub. Defense has been renamed War by Trump. Because the only country America ‘defends’ is Israel.” – Helena Glass

Max Blumenthal on the Israeli network in the White House (VIDEO) – “Max Blumenthal, breaks down how Israel captured the Trump administration, why the US is now stuck in a war with Iran, and what it will take for Trump to finally pull back.” – The Grayzone

White House Says Cuban Regime Is ‘Bound to Fall’ – “The press secretary made the remarks about the communist regime in response to a question from The Epoch Times.” – Travis Gillmore

How the ‘TACO’ trade went from a lighthearted Wall Street joke to a serious moneymaker – “Since the start of Trump’s second White House term, nine of the 10 top days for the S&P 500 have been spurred by de-escalations involving tariffs or Iran” – Joseph Adinolfi  – APPEARS LIKE TRUMP JUST DOES THINGS TO SPUR THE MARKET, HOW MUCH IS HE AND OTHER BILLIONAIRES MAKING BY DOING THIS!!!!

The economy slowed sharply even before the Iran war. Where does it go from here? – “Fourth-quarter GDP growth cut to a scant 0.5%” – Jeffry Bartash

The Market Law Of One Price—How The Donald Bombed Energy Consumers, Too – “The Donald plunged into one hell of a hornets nest when he took the bait from Bibi Netanyahu and launched an all out “kinetic” war on Iran. But now that the gasoline pump price has breached $4/gallon and is heading higher, he’s desperately looking for an off-ramp. The presumption, of course, is that because the US imports virtually no petroleum from the Persian Gulf the new Hormuz toll booth is Europe’s and Asia’s problem, not Washington’s. And that’s technically true but here’s the spoiler alert: What matters is not the geography of where the barrels of hydrocarbon molecules are moving from and to at any given point in time, but the level of hydrocarbon prices embedded in the digital bits coursing through the global futures and cash markets all the time and everywhere.” – David Stockman

$112 Oil, Crashing Wages, and the War Nobody Can Afford (VIDEO) – ” Schiff warns that stagflation is now undeniable and that oil-driven inflation will force massive government spending and money printing, ultimately crushing the dollar and sending gold well above $5,000. He criticizes Trump’s economic lies, the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Liberation Day tariffs as unconstitutional, Warren Buffett’s Fed praise, and growing redemption freezes across investment funds as signs of a brewing financial crisis.” – Peter Schiff

$41.72 trillion in hard liabilities on top of $88.4 trillion in unfunded promises – “$130 Trillion dollar debt. Years of “war first, math later” have done what no foreign enemy could: they have rendered the United States insolvent by its own audited numbers. Trump and Netanyahu didn’t just light a war; they lit the fuse on a bankrupt empire and dared the world to notice.” – The Silver Academy

How to Stockpile Medication – “In the days of insurance, strict rules, and shortages, putting back a personal hoard of important medication isn’t as easy as it used to be. If you or someone you love has a required prescription, this article on how to stockpile medication is for you. Now, let me preface this with the disclaimer that all of these suggestions will not work for every single person with every single illness in every single situation. My hope is that you can find a strategy that works for you or perhaps cobble a few strategies together to build up your personal supply.” – Daisy Luther

The $2 “Survival Fishing” Magnet Hiding in Plain Sight – “Right now, sitting quietly on a dusty shelf in your local garden center, there’s a dark red powder most folks walk past without a second glance. It costs about two bucks. It fits in the palm of your hand. And pound for pound, it might be the most powerful fish attractant you’ll ever use.” – Bill Heid

If You Hear This Sound, It Might Be Too Late – “Print Friendly, PDF & Email You hear a quiet hum in the sky. And before you realize it, a drone has already surveyed your property, probably even recorded you speaking to your neighbor. Who was flying it? Why were they above your house, and what will they do with your data? By the time you question if this is intrusive, it’s already too late. Drones used to be military hardware or expensive toys for professional filmmakers. Not anymore. Now they’re buzzing over farms, circling construction sites, and yes, flying through your neighborhood. Technology has exploded, and most of us haven’t stopped to think about what that actually means.” – Jaxon Anders

THE BIG PICTURE

When Life is Unfair, 3 Things to Hold Onto – “Christians have hope in the midst of an unfair world.” – Kate Dreston

America Last: War Abroad, Tyranny at Home—and the Theft of a Nation – “Every bomb dropped abroad is a bill sent home. Every war waged in the name of “security” is paid for by Americans who go without—without affordable healthcare, without stable housing, without a government that prioritizes their well-being. As the U.S. pours trillions into endless wars and military expansion, Americans are left paying the price—not just in dollars, but in lost freedoms and eroded constitutional protections. This is not national defense. This is organized theft. While Americans struggle with rising gas prices, soaring grocery bills, and mounting debt—fueled in part by reckless tariffs and preemptive wars—the federal government is spending money it doesn’t have on military expansion, foreign conflicts, and presidential excess. This is not America First. If anything, it is becoming painfully clear that Donald Trump’s “America First” approach to governing puts America last every time.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – ANOTHER GOOR READ FROM JOHN!!!!!!!

It’s Time. Drey V. Oracle – “The Third Amendment Case Nobody’s Filed Yet. I’ve spent more time in hospital rooms than most people my age. Some of that is growing up around horses, and some of it is just being the kind of person who finds the ground faster than other people seem to. But there are other scars I don’t have to wear every day, and those are the ones that get made in a different kind of room. Those are the rooms where the doctor asks how many drinks you have in a week, and you have to decide, in the half-second before you answer, whether the number you say is going to be the real number or a smaller one. The ones where a nurse asks if you feel safe at home and you do the same calculation. The reason I’m laying all of this out is that a medical record isn’t a spreadsheet and it isn’t a file. It isn’t a row of data points or a de-identified genomic sample or whatever language the industry is using this quarter to make it sound like something you wouldn’t miss. It’s a catalog of small private decisions a person made about how much of herself to hand over in exchange for help, made inside rooms where the person across from her was bound by an old covenant to use what she said only to try to make her better. That covenant is the thing being destroyed right now. Last month, without asking any of us, a man named Larry Ellison moved 150 million of those rooms onto a server next to a weapons program.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Did The NY Times Just Find Satoshi Nakamoto? – “It is one of the most enduring mysteries in modern technology: the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s always baffled me that, in this day and age, we still can’t definitively identify Satoshi Nakamoto. I can’t even buy a Twinkie at a 7-11 without leaving a digital trail…scanning a rewards card, driving through multiple EZ-Pass checkpoints that log my movement, and carrying devices that track my location down to the second. In an era defined by data and forensics, it feels almost impossible that someone could create something as significant as Bitcoin and remain completely anonymous” – Quoth the Raven

Our Post-Truth, Post-Trust World – “A system that comes to depend on synthetic signaling for its “information” is doomed to Model Collapse, as its signaling has completely detached from the real world.” – Charles Hugh Smith

The Nazis Were NOT the ‘Good Guys’ – “Because Apparently Someone in My Comments Section Thinks They Were and Now I Have to Write This Article. I want to understand how a person arrives at that conclusion. And the answer, unfortunately, is the same way people arrived at it in 1933. Because the entire Nazi movement was financed by an occult group called the Thule Society that needed a loud-mouthed blowhard they could prop up as the figurehead of their little project. This is called a demagogue.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

“Pfizer KNEW the covid shot was a POISON from the very beginning” Court Documents reveal (VIDEO) with Sasha Latypova – “we dig into Sasha’s claims about DARPA’s early pandemic planning, the role of the Department of Defense, the February 4, 2020 timeline, and why she believes the public was sold a very different story from what was happening behind the scenes. If her interpretation is correct, this was not just a public health response — it was something much bigger.”- Redacted

From Dire Straits to Done Deal: Triumphant Trump Re-Opens Hormuz- “Threatening to genocide an entire civilization is a new low, even for the lowest of the low. But this is a “man” who has harbored a secret vendetta against Iran for over 40 years, and his rise to power has supplied him the ticket he needed to believe he can finally fulfill his lifelong destiny. Trump is one of those classic big-thinkers who is all vision and no completion, all ambition, no follow-through. Trump’s wide-eyed, slur-mouthed grope from one “cookie jar” to the next, from Greenland, to Venezuela, to Iran—always back-peddling then re-doubling—clearly demonstrates this. It is the style of rulership of a spoiled manchild. The deranged outbursts leading to threats of genocide and annihilation accurately depict this low-impulse short fuse: the inability to properly internalize and process failure and humiliation. Now both sides have announced a major ceasefire deal—or so it seems on the surface:” – Simplicius

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Patterns of Farce and Catastrophe – “There has been much ballyhooing over the American operation in Iran which successfully rescued some downed pilots, but what were they doing over central Iran in the first place? Iran thinks they were trying to steal some enriched uranium, using some 170 aircraft, That does sound like something our Mad Emperor would try. So many Israelis are fleeing the country through Egypt that they are calling it a “reverse Exodus.” Somehow, this time I don’t see the Egyptians trying to prevent them from leaving Egypt for a second time. As usual, Africa is being hit harder by the disruption to trade caused by the latest Middle Eastern war more than anyone else. They should have heeded Bob Marley (AFRICA UNITE) instead of Western imperialists. ..and more – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY UPDATE. GOOD A USUAL!!

The End Of The Islamic Republic: Apocalypse Later? – “The “Experts” Have Proven They Do Not Know What They Are Talking About The past few days have proven one thing above all else: “Expert” analyses are not worth much, if anything. We know this because, when it came to the war with Iran and Operation Epic Fury, self-anointed “expert” after self-anointed “expert” made their predictions, gave their projections, and what we have as of this writing was not what any of them anticipated.” – Peter Nayland Kust

First Impressions Of The Surprise US-Iranian Ceasefire – “The victor only be confidently determined upon the conclusion of a peace deal based on the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium, nuclear program, missile program, oil exports to China, and the petroyuan.” – Andrew Korybko

Schrödinger’s Ceasefire – “Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to write anything about this ceasefire because most of what one might say about it is disputed and it appears to be crumbling as I type.” – eugyppius

Back from the brink, at least for now? – “U.S. and Iran agree to temporary ceasefire deal. What a roller coaster day this has been. At approximately 7 p.m., one hour before Donald Trump’s 8 p.m. EST deadline for Iran to capitulate to his demands, it looks like Trump may have agreed to the bulk of Iran’s demands. But this is only a ceasefire. Nothing permanent has been agreed to. But if the final deal is anything similar to what Trump has agreed to temporarily, then Iran is going to be much more powerful than it was before this war started.” – Leo Hohmann  –  A TWO WEEK CEASEFIRE TO MAKE THE MARKETS GO UP. NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!

Scenes of devastation after Israel bombs Lebanon 100 times in 10 minutes – Sarah Hooper  – LET THAT SINK IN 100X. ISRAEL CARES FOR NO ONE BUT THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump and Iran Reach Historic Ceasefire. It lasted about two hours. – “Within hours of the ceasefire announcement, Iran was already claiming it had been attacked—without naming who did it—while fresh strikes, drones, and sirens were still being reported across the region. Gulf states were intercepting incoming fire. Israel is right this minute bombing Lebanon—an effort to dismantle Hezbollah—with Netanyahu claiming that “Lebanon isn’t part of the two-week ceasefire. ” As of now, the world is pretending the ceasefire means something. Both the U.S. and Iran have “claimed victory.” (Maybe if we let them both believe it, this thing will end?) Oil prices are already dropping. Stocks are soaring, the markets are rebounding, and investors are treating this like stability—even though, technically, nothing has been resolved.” – Jenna McCarthy

Hours After Ceasefire, Iran’s Lavan Oil Refinery Hit as Fragile Truce Wobbles – Arpita Ghosh / Times Now

First Two Ships Pass Through Strait Of Hormuz Since Ceasefire As Iran Demands Payment In Crypto – Tyler Durden

Why Might China Have Pressed Iran To Compromise With The US? – “The sequence that Trump threatened if no deal was reached before the expiry of his deadline would have cut China off from half of the oil that it imported by sea last year and likely set Afro-Eurasia aflame in resource wars for the indefinite future that would have derailed China’s superpower rise.” – Andrew Korybko

The Explosive Bounce Is Here — And What Comes Next Will Surprise You – “The explosive bounce I wrote about is here. Stocks, precious metals, heck the entire financial system except oil, is ripping higher today on announcements of a two-week cease-fire between the US, Iran and Israel. What’s truly incredible is that the markets knew this was coming.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Silver Knows Something About Iran That the Headlines Don’t – “The Iran War Isn’t Over — And Silver Already Knows It. Silver just did something it’s not supposed to do. War breaks out → it drops. Ceasefire hits → it rips higher. If you’re trading headlines, you’re getting played. This isn’t random volatility. This is what happens when a market stops reacting to events and starts reacting to the system underneath them. The old model — fear equals metals up — just broke.” – Kerry Lutz

Price Inflation and the Price of Oil – “Are rising oil prices responsible for inflation? While some economists and many in the media make that connection, the reality is much different. Inflation occurs because of expansion of the money supply.” – Frank Shostak

NYC Mayor Mamdani Has Declared War on Gold – “On the heels of a credit outlook downgrade for New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the state legislature have just declared war on the financial center’s vibrant gold bullion market. Among revenue-collection ideas proposed by Mamdani’s office is a new tax on investment-grade gold and silver bars—and coins, and rounds as well. Mamdani may be greedily eyeing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues from taxes on gold and silver, but these estimates fail to account for the financial devastation that the entire industry would face. With this new tax, dealers would close their doors, institutions would leave New York, and the tax base would shrink rather than grow. Conversely, when states remove sales taxes on gold and silver, there are new jobs and revenues created.” – Jp Cortez

THE BIG PICTURE

Nuclear War, the United Nations, and Permanent Crisis – “War, apocalyptic prophecy, and emergency governance are converging into a doctrine of permanent crisis. This is what we are being asked to accept – and why we must refuse. I don’t think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use on Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It’s not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You’re sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.” – Shabnam Palesa Mohamed  – A MUST READ FOR ANY “HUMAN BEING” THAT ISN’T A WAR MONGER REGARDLESS OF YOUR RELIGION OR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who’s Pulling the Levers? – “Nobody. The levers were pulled long ago and over time the hegemony and Americans have gotten into lock step with the program. What’s the program? It began just after WW2 when Harry Truman, rather than disband the horror being created by the Dulles Bros, allowed them to develop what now rules the world—CIA (in cahoots with Israel). Look no further than the creation of NATO in 1949.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – SEE HELENA GLASS’ ARTICLE LINKED ON SUNDAY FOR MORE ABOUT THE DULLES BROTHERS!!

The War on God: A History (VIDEO) – “A spiritual war against God’s authority is driving a global conspiracy to dismantle biblical institutions and reshape society under centralized control. Here’s what you need to know to fight back.” – Alex Newman

Christian Zionists and the war in the Gulf – “Apocalypse Now? For millions of American Christians, this conflict is not merely a regional dispute; it is about biblical prophecy. Christian Zionism has evolved from a fringe theological curiosity into a central pillar of US foreign policy, and its influence is now palpable in the escalation dynamics of the Gulf. Forty days into the conflict, the disconnect between strategic reality and theological expectation has never been wider. Christian Zionists are predominantly evangelical Protestants who believe the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of God’s covenant with Abraham. ” – Ashes of Pompeii

TRUMP’S THREAT NEWS / SPECIAL EDITION ( LOTS OF OPINIONS ON TRUMP’S LATEST INSANE THREAT. THEY ALL NEED TO BE READ!!!!! )

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not reach a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz – “This may be a big deal. Any escalation against energy infrastructure in Iran is highly dangerous, because it will invite Iran to retaliate against energy infrastructure in the Gulf states, which produce a great part of the world’s oil and gas. The worst result could be a years-long energy crisis that changes all of our lives even more profoundly than Covid. ” – eugyppius

“”The most humane thing you could do is to end this now with nuclear weapons. That’s the case Mark Levin is making to the president.”- Tucker Carlson” – middleeasteye on Intagram

Are You Prepared for Your World to Be Totally Different Tomorrow Morning? Trump Says it Will Be … Forever! – “DEFCON 1 Of course, Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO Trump), so I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds some last-minute argument for why he’s not going to follow through with his newly amplified threats, but for now he has intensified them even above his expletive-laden rants of Easter weekend. He now says that, if Iran does not open the strait, which he just said a couple of days ago he doesn’t even care about anymore, by this evening, ITS CIVILIZATION WILL CEASE TO EXIST! “- David Haggith

Trump Threatens Mass Murder Yet Again – “Preventing Mass Death Isn’t a Partisan Issue” – Bill Astore

Iran: A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight – “Donald Trump Just Casually Announced the Destruction of an Entire Civilization and I Need a Drink. This guy cares about three things: Money. Power. Screwing teenage girls. That’s the list. There is no secret plan. There is no 5D chess. There is a narcissist who spent more time on Epstein’s island than most people spend on vacation, doing what narcissists do, which is burn everything around them to the ground and then blame you for the fire.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump’s Biggest Iran Fear – “As tonight’s deadline nears, Trump is desperate for one thing. Don’t let the bravado fool you: he’s scared. On Monday, the president made a rare show of submission, bowing not to Washington or Wall Street, but to the people. The Iran war is deeply unpopular with Americans, basically every poll finding a majority opposed since the war began on February 28 — an extraordinary fact that media have largely glossed over. I do not pretend to know what the president will decide at 8pm ET, his deadline for Iran. I doubt even he knows. But the unprecedented public skepticism is clearly on the top of his mind. And it’s very likely on the Pentagon’s mind, too.” – Ken Klippenstein

Trump: “A Whole Civilization with Die Tonight” – ” Reflections on the deliberate destruction of entire civilizations. If President Trump carries out his threat to kill the entire civilization of Iran, he will join the ranks of Cato the Elder, Genghis Khan, Cortez, and other villains in history who chose the policy of destroying an entire civilization. Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic.” – John Leake

Trump Threatens To ‘Take Out Entire Country Of Iran’ Tomorrow Night, Demands ‘Free Traffic Of Oil’ In Hormuz – “During the Q&A session, Trump signaled undisclosed strategy, saying, “I have the best plan of all, won’t tell you what it is,” while insisting, “we didn’t do this for regime change.” He described Iran’s leadership shift in stark terms: “new regime is smarter, sharper, less radical.”” – Tyler Durden

We are entering the Great Energy World War – “February 28, 2026: A date that will live in infamy. WW3 and WW4 are too ambiguous; has WW3 already happened? So in my mind, it’s the GEWW. This complex multi-player war will be about energy flows between the major national suppliers and the major national consumers. It will not be confined to the Middle East. Refineries, LNG plants (liquefaction and gasification) and even tankers on the high seas will eventually be attacked.” – Matt Bracken

ART OF WAR: Russia and China Sun Rising On The EAST – “There is no turning back what Trump has done to America on the global stage. China has most recently developed a trade and security relationship with Vietnam while Trump is cursing and bombing and destroying the last vestige of America’s power. Our 250 year anniversary will be a wake. The Middle East countries that sided with the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait, are likely to maintain a respectful distance given their countries became targets due to the US military bases. Bulldozing those sites, they will make their choices more carefully while enlarging their relations with neutral countries, including China and Russia. The EU has decided its citizens must starve and die in support of the Rothschild’s last bastard child – Ukraine. Depleted. Weary. Rising Inflation will consume the EU. South America is projected to be Trump’s next doomsday revival. Despite Trump’s rhetoric, Venezuela’s economy has slipped further into decay with oil production collapsing under a oil infrastructure in disrepair. ” – Helena Glass

The 5 Types of Suburbs in America – “From favela to country club, America’s suburbs have diverged thanks to vibrant diversity. America’s cities are international embarrassments. Under the radar over the past few decades, their demoralization zones have spread to subvert the surrounding suburbs. As the border opened, the middle class eroded and many towns deteriorated. Every real estate broker and prospective buyer knows the differences, but are not allowed to talk about them. That is why you are here for spicy commentary on the 5 types of suburbs you will find in America.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Tax Season: The Forced Idolatry of Corruption – “The Resurrection of our Lord is the cornerstone of our Christian faith. It is also the time of renewal, when the birds return from the south, and the plants and flowers bloom gloriously. The weather warms up, and the miracle of life is on display everywhere. But it’s also a time when we are reminded, with a figurative blow to the head, that we must submit to the tyrants who misrule us at every level. If you don’t file your taxes, the IRS may be coming for you. You know, the agency that Trump talked about abolishing last year. Right around the same time he suggested that we may not need any more taxes. Right about the time he proposed that no one making less than $250,000 pay taxes. I liked that Trumpenstein a lot better than the delirious warmonger we have now.” – Donald Jeffries

Why the Frickety Frack Isn’t Melania on the Cover of Vogue? – “All right we know why, but dang.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Russia, China Veto UN Res Authorizing Military Force To Reopen Hormuz Strait -“Also, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stated that if resolution passed it would disrupt “very fragile chances for negotiations.” So essentially Russia and China viewed it as a ‘pro-war’ mandate which is too sympathetic to Washington’s aims in Iran.” – Tyler Durden

Trump: ‘If it were up to me I would take the oil. I’d keep the oil. I’d make plenty of money’ – “Comment comes after posting Easter Sunday message ended with ‘Praise be to Allah’…Trump’s 48-hour deadline for Iran to accept his deal is 8 p.m. EST Tuesday, at which point all hell may break loose” – Leo Hohmann

Fake News Alert: Russia Didn’t Give Iran A List Of Israeli Energy Targets – “The widespread but false perception that Putin is an anti-Zionist secretly allied with Iran against Israel, which has been pushed for years by putative friends and undeniable foes alike, means that many folks the world over will likely fall for Ukraine’s latest information warfare provocation against Russia.” – Andrew Korybko

Recession Watch: Everything All At Once – “Tech layoffs have become front-page news… And the picture for this year’s class of graduating coders is apocalyptic Private credit is looking like this decade’s subprime mortgage bubble, except a lot bigger and more widespread. Oil has gone parabolic, with multiple countries running out of crude, gasoline, and/or diesel. And — no surprise — the bond markets are rebelling, with US 10-year Treasuries back to levels that imply 7% mortgages and 10% car loans. It’s all coming to a head as this is written” – John Rubino

8pm: Waiting for Death – “When the end becomes real. Today’s 8pm deadline feels like we’ve been called back to the doctor’s office to receive bad news. As the appointment arrives, we wonder how bad the news will be. If not tonight, someday something will happen for us to see clearly our days are numbered. A cancer prognosis, a major crop failure, nuclear missiles flying overhead. When the illusion of immortality is shattered, the mental shift is dizzying. I can see it happening right now. It is difficult to fully accept the situation, but we can learn from others’ experiences. Someday, the event will arrive. The skies will blacken. The crops will wither. We will watch our cupboards run bare and our taps shut off. That is the moment we receive the terminal diagnosis for our civilization. At that point, the foundations of our survival have rotted away. There is no longer a store to go to or a skill that can summon food from radioactive soil.” – Sarah Connor

THE BIG PICTURE

Curiosity Kills the Agenda – “Our only real weapon against this slow-motion burial of the human spirit is to keep that spark alive in ourselves and, wherever possible, fan it in others. Poke, prod, question, wonder—even when it feels futile. Because once curiosity is truly extinct, the game is over. Stay curious. It’s the last truly subversive act we have left.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Your REALLY Digital Ear Tag – “They’re pushing what they call REAL ID really hard. It is the federally pushed replacement for the state-issued driver’s license you’re required to get if you wish to be able to cash a check or buy cough syrup – and also, of course, to be allowed to operate your motor vehicle on the government’s roads. Our onetime right to use the public roads having gone the way of our right to keep what we earn. The driver’s license is of course an ID already. Just not REAL enough, apparently. They want more identification. Because – apparently – the state-issued ID isn’t “real” enough (for them). Of course, the ID they’ve been requiring us to get for decades to be allowed to buy cough syrup or cash a check (and incidentally to be allowed to drive on the government’s roads) is already pretty real – in the ghetto-English usage. The photo they took of you is probably a face scan that can be (and will) be used by facial recognition systems and there is a bar code (and probably an RFID transmitter locater device of some kind built into it, too. They really want a way to track your movements and activities in other words. What that has to do with driving is difficult to divine.” – Eric Peters

Elon Musk’s Trillion Dollar Payday: What If Tesla Isn’t Really About Cars? – “A speculative look at trillion-dollar incentives, robot soldiers, and the strangest email I ever received. Here’s something that has me scratching my head is disbelief. Tesla just announced an incentive package for Elon Musk worth a trillion dollars. You read that right. A trillion. With a T. The company is valued higher than every major automaker on Earth combined. Ford, GM, Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda. Add them all up and Tesla’s worth more. The math doesn’t work. It never has. So what’s the real product? Here’s a fun fact that doesn’t come up much in Musk hagiographies. His grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was nearly arrested for high treason in Canada. Haldeman was a Technocrat. Not the modern tech-bro kind. The 1930s movement kind. The kind that really ‘respected’ National Socialism if you know what I mean. They wanted to overthrow the Canadian government and replace it with a system run by engineers and scientists.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

They Called It “Alternative.” It Was Always the Original. – “From the 1899 Merck Manual to a 1932 pharmacist’s map, the historical record is unambiguous: natural medicine was displaced not because it failed, but because it couldn’t be owned.Let’s begin with a question that should unsettle anyone who has ever been told that natural medicine is “alternative”: alternative to what, exactly? Not to the medicine of 1899. Not to the medicine of 1932. Not, in fact, to any era of medicine prior to the mid-twentieth century, when a legal and commercial infrastructure was deliberately built to ensure that the only substances recognized as “drugs” would be those that could be patented, manufactured at scale, and sold for profit. ” – Sayer JI

FBI’s New Political Pre-Crime Center – “Are you on the list of ‘domestic terrorism’ indicators? President Trump’s budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.” – Ken Klippenstein

Time For The White (jacket) Men – “If you wanted to indulge in partisan spin you could wax hotly about the Donald’s Easter morning desecration of the office of the presidency. His meld of profanity, blasphemy and bellicose madness all rolled into a single social media post could surely calls forth at least that much: But we don’t think “desecration” is the right word for it. There had been plenty of that before the Donald got there. Say going back to LBJ’s murderous mayhem in Vietnam, to Bill Clinton’s blow jobs in the Oval Office, to Joe Biden’s chronic drooling on the Resolute Desk. But what’s sui generis about this particular desecration is that it involves the POTUS threatening to commit flat-out WAR CRIMES against Iran and mayhem against the global economy based on a screaming Big Lie. Well, actually, a four-part Big Lie that is so utterly refuted by the facts and reality as to stand among the worst excuses for war-making in recorded history.” – David Stockman

Trump Says Tuesday Deadline For Iran To Accept Ceasefire ‘Final, Won’t Change’; Israel Takes Out Experienced IRGC Intel Chief – “A Sunday night Axios report on a US-proposed 45-day ceasefire has by Monday morning been rejected by Iran, which later on Monday issued a 10-point letter via Pakistan. ” – Tyler Durden

Trump Talks War for Easter Week – “By the way, who shot Charlie Kirk? Trump, who is affiliated with no known Christian denomination and may in fact be a convert to Judaism, has a so-called Christian spiritual adviser named Paula White-Cain. Early in the week she “advised” that American Christians should tithe their gross incomes and give the money (10%) to Israel. She stated that that would be compliant with what she claimed to be the right thing to do to avoid “disobeying God.” At a lunch at the White House later in the week she also compared Jesus Christ with Donald J Trump, an equation that shocked many in the actual Christian community.” – Philip Giraldi

Trump’s Easter Ultimatum: Open the (Expletive) Strait or Else – ““Open the Fuckin’ Strait” is his latest shibboleth, his battle cry. Trump and his Zionist controllers are drunk on hubris, hopeium, and stupidity. The only sane response to the situation is for the US to declare victory and exit, stage right.” – Kurt Nimmo

Trump is Driven by Low Self-Worth—Netanyahu is Worse – “Hitler had an innate destructiveness that, over time, led to the demise of his regime and himself. This was seen in his listening to no one but himself and paying no heed to his generals when they advised for strategy retreats. Trump shares that trait with Hitler and every other ego-manic down through history. It is that hubris that brings such destruction to the world, but ends in a return to peace once the insane leader is vanquished. Unfortunately for the world—Trump is not alone. Netanyahu, driven by necessity to avoid prison, does whatever is necessary to retain the Prime Minister-ship. Worse than Trump (maybe at the level of Pete Hegseth), Bibi holds no reverence for age-old rules of engagement. Instead, he conducts false flag operations to have it appear that Iran is a criminal nation when it is him. Unconcerned, he kills ambassadors—the sanctity/preservation of ambassadors pre-dates modern states. Though Trump’s madness doesn’t match Netanyahu, he is a man of limited intelligence, and who he gets his advise from is the low end of the intelligence totem pole. And, I’m betting Netanyahu (through Epstein), has Trump in a rear-naked chokehold.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

It’s Official: US Boots-On-Ground Deep Inside Iran Amidst Another Day of Humiliating Losses – “The morning broke with news of a large-scale US operation to supposedly extract the second downed pilot from Iran, who had ejected from his shot-down F-15E on Thursday. The scale of losses for this operation alone turned out to be massive, as the US lost hundreds of millions worth of planes allegedly getting the pilot back to safety. The operation involved all kinds of Special Forces unit which amounted to “boots on ground” inside Iran for the first time—at least officially.” – Simplicius

US Satellite Firm Blacks Out Iran War Images Per US Government Request – “The blackout of satellite imagery from the region is not a story about one firm’s products or customer service. It is a reminder that foreign intervention tends to produce domestic control, often without the drama of a formal censorship order. The same state that wages war can narrow the evidence available to judge that war. The predictable result is that the public is pushed to take the word of the administration’s spokesmen at face value, without timely means to verify or falsify their claims.” – Alan Mosley

The Killing Fields of Lebanon as ‘Israel’ Lashes out Against Civilians – “Israel preys on civilians as it receives deep wounds from the Lebanese Resistance” – Vanessa Beeley

How US Sanctions Are Fueling Hunger in Cuba – “In Cuba today, food is rotting in the fields while families go hungry. On a recent trip to the eastern part of the island, I spoke with farmers who are watching their livelihoods slip away – not because they lack skill or dedication, but because they lack fuel, parts, and basic inputs. One farmer described fields ready to harvest but no diesel to bring the crops in. Others showed broken machinery they have no way to repair. These are not isolated stories; they reflect a system under siege.” – Medea Benjamin

This is why NPR needs to be defunded – “Once again, a federal judge has ruled that the executive branch can’t be the executive branch and do executive branch things. This time, it’s defunding NPR and PBS. The argument is that the president can’t defund them because he doesn’t like what they say about him. Now, I can get that. I can get behind that. They shouldn’t be defunded because of that. They should be defunded because they suck at their jobs, and the American taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for not just crappy journalism, but a profound bias that thinks everyone who isn’t them is an uncultured swine. One prime example of this is how NPR handled the Hunter Biden laptop story, or, more accurately, how they refused to handle it at all. Yes, that was 2020, but it’s not like I’m going to ever let that one slide.” – Tom Knighton

US paves way for private assets to be included in 401(k) retirement plans – “he Trump administration on Monday issued a long-awaited proposed rule to open up ​retirement plans to alternative assets, paving the way for private equity and cryptocurrencies to be added to 401(k) accounts. The measure, announced by the U.S. Department ‌of Labor, is intended to ease longstanding barriers to incorporating these less liquid and less transparent assets into American retirement plans.” – Utkarsh Shetti, Suzanne McGee, Arasu Kannagi Basil and Isla Binnie  – EXTREMELY BAD IDEA!!

But then came war. We are going to get a globe-shaking economic conflagration erupting from the void that was the Persian Gulf commodity fountain. That includes between 20% and 50% of all the basic commodities that drive global GDP, including crude oil, LPGs, LNG, ammonia, urea, sulfur, helium, and sundry more. Accordingly, the global share of crucial industrial commodities that now stand in harm’s way. This includes both those directly transiting the Strait of Hormuz and also the share of supply from the wider Middle Eastern region that is also exposed to the current Iranian War” – David Stockman

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Garbage During Emergencies: How Trash Becomes a Public Health Crisis – “Most people preparing for disasters focus on food, water, and shelter. Very few think about what happens to their garbage. That oversight can be dangerous and when normal life gets disrupted, so does every system that keeps waste out of sight and out of mind. Within hours of a major emergency, collection stops. Within days, bags pile up outside homes, dumpsters overflow, and decomposing organic matter starts drawing insects and rodents. Within weeks, the situation can become genuinely life-threatening.”- Bob Rodgers

What Actually Stops a Home Invasion When the Grid Is Down – “Across Canada, reports of violent crime and home invasions have been rising in recent years. What once felt rare—forced entries, targeted break-ins, even daytime invasions—are now appearing more frequently in both urban centres and rural communities. The question is no longer “Could it happen?” It becomes “What would I actually do if it did?” There’s a natural instinct to think in terms of force—locks, weapons, confrontation. But in reality, especially during a grid-down event, most threats don’t begin with violence. They begin with observation. Someone is looking for an opportunity. An easy win. A place where risk is low and effort is minimal. And that single truth changes everything about how you should think about defending your home.” – denob

What Your Neighbors Will Do First When SHTF – “The folks around you, though, most of them are working with three days of food in the house on a good week. When the shelves start going bare and the delivery trucks stop coming, that’s when reality lands for them, and that’s when their eyes start moving in your direction. You Were Never as Invisible as You Thought You probably tried to keep a low profile over the years, and that was the right instinct. But the honest truth is that people notice more than we give them credit for. Your neighbor may have seen you hauling in bulk food buckets or stacking firewood along the back fence. Someone else noticed the raised garden beds, the rain barrels, the extra propane tanks by the shed. ” – Kate L. Gilmour

The Sign Of Jonah – “Three days after Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried, He arose and lived again. Three days after descending into the belly of a whale, Jonah returned, was cast up on the shore, and walked on earth once more. This was the sign Jesus promised the scribes and Pharisees. This was the only sign the “evil and adulterous generation” would receive. Why this sign? What is significant about the prophet Jonah that his ordeal of being swallowed whole by a fish is relevant to the story of Jesus’ Resurrection?” – Peter Nayland Kust

Neil Oliver – Yep, they’ve got me worked up & ANGRY!!! – “I listened to President Donald J. Trump’s address to the nation the other night there, the one which is already notorious in which he talked about bombing Iran back into the stone age which is where they belong, means we’re in a new world because American high-ups have used that terminology before. Curtis LeMay did itduring Vietnam. James Baker did it during Desert Storm. But this is a president. This is the actual leader of the free world talking about bombing civilization out of existence. You know it’s only a matter of weeks really since he was talking about freeing liberating the people of Iran and now he’s talking glibly proudly about bombing them back into the stone age. So, we are definitely in a new world.” – ,Neil Oliver”

Houston, We Have a Satanist: (NASA’s Nazi Occult Origins Will Shock You) – “Sex magic, Nazi scientists, and a Hebrew word that means “to deceive.” Happy Artemis launch week! If you wanted to convince billions of people that there is no God, that the universe is a cold accident and human beings are a chemical reaction on a rock drifting through nothing, the most effective way to do it would be to put yourself in charge of what space looks like. Control the images. Render the composites. Name the programs after pagan gods. Staff the agencies with men who worshipped fallen angels and built rockets for the Third Reich. And make absolutely sure that nobody ever looks too closely at the photographs.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Gargantuan Hail, Toxic Particles, Severe Drought & Chemtrails (VIDEO) with Dane Wigington – ” Just about all the terrible weather you are living through is caused by spraying crap into the skies over your head. Let’s start with “gargantuan hail” happening routinely all over the planet. Wigington says, “In Washington D.C. more than two weeks ago, it was 78 degrees at 1 a.m., and it snowed later that day. That is chemical ice nucleation. These elements build up a core that expands . . . and you end up with this massive hail. It is a direct result of climate engineering operations. . ..How is that not weather warfare? How do people go about their lives and pretend this is not happening?”” – Greg Hunter

The Dulles Bros, The Bankers, And The Industrialists – “Taking a trip down memory lane: As Michel Chossudovsky notes, the infamous Dulles Brothers were financiers of Hitler and Nazi Germany thru ties to a slew of Bankers – in particular, Fred C. Koch, the father of billionaire rightwing political activists Charles G. and David H. Koch,  Who after WWII, under the guise of Operation Paperclip brought hundreds if not thousands of Nazi Scientists to America to mold their superior knowledge of physics and psychological trauma adhesions on unsuspecting Americans. The Dulles brothers, Allen and John Foster, partners in the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, which facilitated American investment in Germany were foremost in advocating for the concept of the Third Reich. Nearly 70 percent of the money going to Germany in the 1930s came from America, many of them clients of Sullivan and Cromwell. They did not finance the War because they were antisemitic – they financed the war because War Makes Money. While soldiers and civilians Die. But then, the reality wasn’t about Jews – it was about inferior races. Eisenhower was told to allow the Nazi’s to win. General Patton had other ideas. Went rogue from his orders to stand down – and was instrumental in defeating Hitler thus assuring his own extermination as the “Bets Lost” and Eisenhower was implicated.” – Helena Glass

Trump Rages At Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” – “It’s not every day a sitting president sounds this openly, unmistakably pissed. I’m not much of a geopolitical analyst but “open the fuckin’ strait or you’ll be living in hell” does not strike me as diplomatic. Instead it feels like a threat delivered at full volume, with zero attempt to soften the edges. The icing on the cake — “Praise be to Allah” tacked onto the end — only makes it feel even more unhinged and like a Mike Tyson 1990s press conference.” – Quoth the Raven

Trump is Insane. It’s 25th Amendment time. – “Trump has lost what is left of his mind. You can’t “threaten” Shia Muslims with martyrdom. Martyrdom in a defensive war against an infidel aggressor is the gift of paradise to them. This shows a total lack of understanding of Islam, and in particular Shia Islam. Putting “Fuckin’, crazy bastards, hell, and Praise be to Allah” together in one post is incredibly offensive and blasphemous to ALL Muslims around the world. He just gave a big dirty EFF YOU!!! to every Muslim on the planet. This is not going to help, to say the least.” – Matt Bracken  – VERY GOOD POST FROM MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Madness of Wannabe King Trump – “And He Has Nuclear Weapons. My first thought, after the predictable “Trump is truly crazy” reaction, was to imagine if President Barack Hussein Obama (Trump loves including the middle name) had given praise to Allah on the holiest day (Easter) on the Christian calendar. Republicans would have impeached and/or drawn and quartered him just for that.” – Bill Astore

THE DEEPER DIVE: The President’s Prophet and the Pentagon’s High Priest Predict ARMAGEDDON! – “Their words, their promise, not mine. No leader is more powerful in the world today or more authoritarian than Donald Trump, who does everything now by decree and who is also certainly charismatic with his huge love for large public rallies and for creating daily drama in the media whenever he can, and big shows that are always centered on himself. While there is no doubt that Trump alone rules MAGA, he is bizarrely guided by his high priestess of the White House, Paula White‑Cain, who is a self-declared prophetess, regularly claiming she speaks for God.” – David Haggith

Trump’s Iran War: Worse Than Expected, But Better Than Hoped? – “Like most Americans, I need some copium. Let us examine the silver linings of a US strategic disaster so stunning the White House is forced to rewrite history as it happens.” – Karen Kwiatkowski  – GOOD ONE FROM KAREN!!!!

As Hungary Goes… – “All politics now are run by probably twelve or thirteen, rich, powerful people who sit at the hub of donations to NGOs all over the world. They offer nothing substantial to the donations themselves, but they organize and direct these NGOs with their influence. Then, the government, usually the US government, fills the coffers and some of that is returned to campaign funds to make sure that these NGOs are never cut off from federal funds. But all federal funds come from the taxpayer. It’s the same in Europe and South America. The idea is to keep the left and leftist ideas prominent in the news, supporting fellow communists and other collectivist ideologies. It’s a worldwide information war now, with some kinetic aspects such as suicide bombers and terrorist attacks. The Middle East continues as the center of the US focus, but the US should spend a little more time looking into it at home.” – T.L. Davis

‘It is truly terrifying’: farmer bombed by US-Ecuador armies exposes false positive attack (VIDEO) – “Vicente Garrido, Vice President of San Martin on Ecuador’s border with Colombia, speaks to The Grayzone’s Oscar Leon about the bombings of his community’s dairy farm by the Ecuadorian military. After US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claimed credit for destroying a “narco-terror” training camp, local Ecuadorian media exposed the truth: Ecuadorian soldiers had bombed a farm, then abducted and tortured locals to cover up the attack.” – The Grayzone

Mamdani’s plan is not ambitious nor innovative; it is precisely the interventionist system that has been implemented throughout decades in countries that now suffer stagnation and elevated unemployment.” – Daniel Lacalle

America’s Infrastructure Mega-Project Boom Is Putting Silver in a Chokehold 🔨 – “What nobody is talking about…There’s a construction boom underway in America that most people haven’t connected to their silver stack. They should. After decades of deferred maintenance, regulatory paralysis, and chronic underinvestment, the infrastructure spigot has been cranked wide open. Highways, bridges, airports, rail lines, data centers, water systems — all moving simultaneously. The shovels are in the ground. The cranes are in the air.  Every one of those projects runs on silver. Not metaphorically. Literally. Silver is the world’s most conductive metal. It goes into the electrical contacts, switchgear, circuit breakers, busbars, and connectors that power every piece of infrastructure being built right now. No silver, no electrons move efficiently. It’s that simple. And the demand picture was already a crisis before the infrastructure boom accelerated it.” – Kerry Lutz

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Price of “Seeing Things” Too Early: Why Off-Grid Thinkers Always Pay A Price – “There’s a certain kind of person this culture quietly grinds down. You won’t see them featured on the evening news, and they don’t get awards or applause for what they see coming. Instead, they get labeled… fool, troublemaker, conspiracy nut… and pushed to the margins. Then, a generation later, the very same crowd shrugs and says, “We knew it all along.” That’s the pattern. And this piece is about that person… the one who sees early, acts early, and then pays the price for it.” – Bill Heid

Stocking Items for Barter – “Along with all of the other items that a seasoned Prepper has, barter items are critical. You undoubtedly will need items that you forgot to stockpile during the good times. This area of prepping needs to be approached with the same meticulous logical order as all of your other prepping gear.” – Big John

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Luke 24:4-6    And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Luke 24:36-40    And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.  But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.  And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?  Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.  And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK  (USED LAST YEAR BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY THE STONES DONE BY THE BLACK CROWES)

That’s all right, that’s all right, that’s all right

Sometimes you feel like trouble, sometimes you feel down
Let this music relax your mind, let this music relax your mind

Stand up and be counted, can’t get a witness
Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love
Sometimes you ain’t got nobody and you want somebody to love

Then you don’t want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
You don’t want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
Just want to see His face
Just want to see His face
Just want to see His face

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DOJ Is DONE Releasing Epstein Files – “New acting AG Todd Blanche declares full release complete — even as millions of pages remain unreleased. Todd Blanche wastes no time covering up for the Epstein child trafficking network and says he has no idea which country Jeffrey Epstein was working for or spying for.

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

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

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

VERSES FOR THE DAY

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But now the Pentagon has given its clearest sign yet of invasion intentions after ordering prefabricated bunkers for island occupations, sources say. Trump has had his crosshairs firmly set on Iran‘s main oil terminal on Kharg Island – where 95 per cent of its oil is shipped.” – Katie Davis and Martin Arostegui

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

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

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

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

It is a buying opportunity for the brave. Until this morning, gold and silver were enjoying a reasonable rally while the broader markets appeared to be under the impression that in the war against Iran America’s proposals to end it would get some traction. But markets appeared to be ignoring Iran’s denials that any talks were taking place. ” – Alasdair Macleod

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

VERSES FOR THE DAY

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

 

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court To Shield Bayer From Glyphosate Lawsuits. Kentucky Becomes Latest State To Prohibit Lawsuits Against Pesticide Producers – “The USDA last week deregulated genetically-modified (GMO) corn for insect resistance created by Bayer, further proof that the admin. is totally aligned with big-ag and big-pharma.” – The WinePress

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

Ironically, he has longtime warmonger Lindsay Graham encouraging him to shut it down quickly.” – David Haggith

Our Mad Emperor seems to be determined to find out the hard way, by launching a ground invasion of Iran. Just in case the Trump Administration fails to wreck the ship of Empire on the shoals of ancient Persia, there’s a backup plan: Operation Total Extermination. I swear I can’t make this shit up. That’s the name of the operation to arm the Ecuadoran military to the teeth and drop bombs on all its borders to kill druggies, which means druggies who aren’t paid by the CIA.” – Ohio Barbarian  -THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP, GOOD READING AS USUAL!!!

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Warning From The Heartland: Historic Drought And Unexpected Fertilizer Shortages Could Mean Massive Crop Losses – Michael Snyder

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

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

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

Jerome Powell tells Congress: “Good luck with that debt problem…” – “Yesterday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell admitted that the math no longer works. “Our debt is growing substantially faster than our economy.

Comex Report: Ignore the Paper Price and Watch the Physical Metal – “The CME Comex is the Exchange where futures are traded for gold, silver, and other commodities. The CME also allows futures buyers to turn their contracts into physical metal through delivery. The data below looks at contract delivery where the ownership of physical metal changes hands within CME vaults. It also shows data that details the movement of metal in and out of CME vaults. It is very possible that if there is a run on the dollar, and a flight into gold, this is the data that will show early warning signs.” – Peter Schiff

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

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

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

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

Amish Chicken Coops: The Self-Sufficient Prepper’s Ultimate Guide – “When the grid goes down, the supply chain breaks, or inflation makes grocery store eggs a luxury, the people eating well are the ones who built their food production into their property. Amish chicken coops are not a trend. They are not a lifestyle aesthetic imported from a farmhouse magazine. They are a centuries-old engineering solution to a real and permanent problem: how do you keep chickens alive, productive, and secure without electricity, synthetic materials, or factory infrastructure?” – Ask A Prepper Staff
