THE BIG PICTURE

The Great Energy World War – “The sea power projection paradigm that allowed small European nations (and then the USA) to dominate and colonize the world is coming to an end. The world will never be the same, and the birth pains of the emerging next world order will be agonizing.” – Matt Bracken

PIZZAGATE: THE FINAL CHAPTER + Erika Kirk Victim EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONY – “Months of research all come down to this…” – Agent131711 – THIS CONCLUDES AGENT131711″S TRIP DOWN THE PIZZAGATE RABBIT HOLE. ALL PARTS HAVE BEEN LINKED UNLESS PAY WALLED!!!!!!!!!!

Nephilim, Aliens, Demons and the Coming Lie – “Something that will be coming down the pipeline relatively soon, something that will be released onto the public in the probably very near future are the alien files or the UFO briefings. Now, recently, of course, we had the release of the Epstein files and for people who were unfamiliar with that information, that was earthshattering. That was gut-wrenching. That was heartbreaking. But what people are not , what a lot of people are not understanding is that with both of these releases, they are a part of a narrative. They are a part of a bigger picture, a bigger deception. They are timed perfectly. And there is a reason. There is an intent. There is a strategy behind both of them. Y’all, we are living in biblical times. And whether you want to believe it or not, whether you want to see it or not, we are in fact in the last seconds of the last days. And that is not to scare you. That is not to fear monger. That is to speak the truth to you out of love.” – Ashley Hays

Home Education Must Be “Equivalent” to Public School: Lawmakers – “A Connecticut bill would require homeschoolers to get government approval and meet vague standards, igniting backlash as an attack on parental rights. The formula is being used across the US.” – Alex Newman

Apple’s ties to Israel are much deeper than you think – “Apple’s most recent acquisition in Israel is its second largest buyout of all-time. Apple’s ties to Israel are way deeper than you think. Apple made headlines last week when it basically erased Southern Lebanon from Apple Maps. If you go to Lebanon on Apple Maps, you’ll see that the names of all of the villages in the South are gone. And this is obviously the region of Lebanon that Israel is currently invading and trying to annex.” – Kei Pritsker

You Do Not Hate The IRS Enough – “The IRS has a powerful new weapon.The agency plans to replace the nearly 30,000 employees it lost to Trump administration cuts with a new army of auditors, one that doesn’t sleep. I’m talking about artificial intelligence, which the IRS has identified as a top priority in its new budget request. The centerpiece is Palantir software that allows IRS investigators and auditors to conduct “near real-time data analysis” through a custom tool called the “Selection and Analytic Platform,” or SNAP.” – Ken Klippenstein  – PALANTIR SEEMS TO HAVE IT’S FINGERS IN EVERY THING!!!

HORRIFIC BOMBSHELL: VAERS Releases Miscarriage/Stillbirth Reports By Year & Proves That The PSYOP-19 “Vaccine” Was Always A Depopulation Injection – “In case anyone still has a scintilla of doubt that the gene altering Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines” were anything but a critical component of the NWO globopedo’s global eugenics program, here is the latest VAIDS data proving exactly what was foisted on humanity at the height of the PSYOP-19 scamdemic:” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Hack Attack: Fed Chair Jerome Powell Warns Of Impending Cyberattack On Financial System – “I’d have to say that the thing that worries me the most is really cyber risk. You know it’s a constant concern. ‘They’ always tell you what’s going to happen before they do it… I have repeatedly warned for many years now that an imminent “cyberattack,” EMP, grid-down scenario, whatever you want to call it, will be deployed in the not-too distant future.” – The WinePress

The World We Knew Is Gone Forever! – “Most people may not realize it, although some do, but the last six weeks have forever changed the world. The world we knew six weeks ago is gone forever. For sure, it will take months and years for this global change to culminate, but the culmination is inevitable. Nothing can stop it. As long as the United States is tied at the hip with Israel, we will never know peace. The Zionist State of Israel is a system of hatred, death and conflict at its very core. Everything it touches quickly corrupts and dies. But now, Israel itself is the one that is dying. And when Israel dies, the entire world will spring to life. I find it interesting that the first beast in Daniel Seven’s prophecy features Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king who made his nation a global empire—and the man who destroyed the Southern Kingdom of Israel (Judah) and its capital, Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar himself succumbed to madness and insanity. So, two out of the four empires Daniel saw were used by God to destroy the apostate, wicked city of Jerusalem and Israelite kingdoms. They say history repeats itself. If so, we may be seeing a repeat of history right now with President Donald Trump.” – Chuck Baldwin

WWI + WWII = WWIII? – “Must we really repeat the mistakes of the past?” – J.B. Shurk

Iran War: Sleepwalking into Starvation Famine may occur in two months or less if Israel’s war continues. Now that Iran has established a blockade and tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz in response to the United States and Israel attacking the country, large amounts of urea, ammonia, phosphates, and sulfur, critical components for fertilizer, are locked out of agricultural supply chains. “The timing of the disruption makes the situation especially acute,” explains the Kiel Institute, a European research institute for global economic affairs. “March and April are peak months for fertilizer application in the Northern Hemisphere planting season.” – Kurt Nimmo

War Economy Returns: From Trucks To Tanks, Pentagon Looks To Automakers To Rebuild America’s Arsenal – “he Trump administration is exploring whether U.S. manufacturers, including GM, Ford, GE Aerospace, and Oshkosh, can convert civilian industrial capacity into weapons production as conflicts across Eurasia drag on and deplete critical weapons stockpiles.” – Tyler Durden

Brace for summer of shortages: Chicken and pork among products facing crunch from Middle East crisis as ministers ‘plan for rationing CO2 – “Brits are being braced for a summer of shortages ” – James Tapsfield

IEA chief warns that Europe will run out of jet fuel in six weeks. Two carriers just cut flights from their schedules. – Nora Redmond

Chine, The Middle East, & Russia Broker The World Stage of Peace – “Iran has $100 Billion in frozen assets. Scattered amongst a handful of countries, the US controls their release… Originally frozen by Carter after the Shah was ousted by the Iranians and Muslim students took 66 Americans hostage in 1979. While the hostage crisis is often cited as proof of Iran’s terrorism, the reason for the hostage crisis is rarely discussed. The CIA created the crisis when they intervened in Iran’s sovereignty:” – Helena Glass

FACT: The U.S. is NOT a net exporter of oil, nor is it completely energy independent – “Despite the rhetoric coming from Trump and his cronies, the U.S. is about to get hit with drastically higher prices for all types of petroleum-based products, followed by exploding food prices. Many MAGA-friendly news outlets have jumped on board putting out articles that try to reassure the voting public that Trump really does know what he’s doing and when the war against Iran is over, which Trump assures us will happen any day now, everything will go back to normal. It will all happen very, very quickly. I’m here to tell you that is total B.S.” – Leo Hohmann

Vindictive, Trump-hating Judge Boasberg gets the judicial beatdown he needed – “The Obama-appointed judge has a pattern of corner-cutting that just happens to support the deep state’s power-grabs every time.” – Monica Showalter

Lindsey Graham’s Primary Fight Heats Up – “Eternal shame of South Carolina and sitting Senator Lindsey Graham — the childless, *alleged* (no lawsuits, please) closeted homosexual recently photographed traipsing through Disneyworld with a two-foot fairy wand in hand as respite from his day job of experiencing explosive, toe-curling wargasms on cable news — is up for re-election.” – Ben Bartee

ECONOMIC NEW

70 Percent Of U.S. Farmers Say That They Will Not Be Able To Purchase All The Fertilizer That They Need In 2026 – “We might want to listen to what the farmers are telling us, because if they don’t grow our food we do not eat. Coming into this year, we were already facing the worst farming crisis in America in at least 50 years. Farmers all over the nation are drowning in debt, and farm bankruptcies have been soaring.” – Michael Snyder

Consumer Sentiment Has Never Been This Bad – “Consumer sentiment has hit an all-time low in America as the promises of Trumpenomics like a flood of tariff wealth, slashed income taxes, and lower prices are washed away by the tides of war, low growth, bad math, and money printing. Politicians want to be good at math when it serves them, and terrible at it when it doesn’t. Trump’s tariffs never had a hope of adding up to anywhere near the levels needed to balance the budget or eliminate income tax, as promised. Consumers are broke, tired, indebted, and politically exhausted.” – Peter Schiff

There Is No “Fair Share” — There Is Only “More” – “In April 1971, Keith Richards loaded his family and his Bentley onto a cross-Channel ferry and drove south until he hit the Mediterranean. He rented a 19th-century villa called Nellcôte on a hillside above Villefranche-sur-Mer, and converted the basement into a recording studio. Over the following year the rest of the Rolling Stones rotated through the house and nearby properties to record the double album that became Exile on Main St., while staying deliberately out of reach of the British tax authorities. The top marginal income tax rate in Britain at the time was 75%, and a surcharge on the highest earners pushed the effective rate on the wealthiest past 90%. Three years later, under Denis Healey’s 1974 budget, the top rate on earned income would climb to 83% and the rate on investment income would reach 98%. Britain would spend the rest of the decade watching capital flee and begging the IMF for emergency loans. Britons eventually ran the same arithmetic as the Stones and reached a similar conclusion. Capital left the country in every form it could fit into, including bonds, businesses, luxury cars, and rock stars. But politicians never learn.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

“It’s Really Illiquid”: Goldman COO Warns Retail About Private Credit And The “Perception Of Liquidity” – Tyler Durden

The Housing Affordability Trap – “Donald Trump sure has a strange approach to making housing more “affordable”. He apparently wants lower costs for buyers and higher prices for owners and sellers! Needless to say, as the Donald’s scrambles about seeking housing affordability “solutions”, we’d rather suspect that higher house prices are not quite what the economic doctor ordered.” – David Stockman

7 High-Yield Crops for Small Spaces – “You don’t need a big piece of land to grow real food for you and your family. What’s more, you don’t even need special crops. Basic crops, the ones everyone is planting in their gardens, do just fine in containers, raised beds, and other places you might believe are too small for them to be productive. The secret is to give your plants what they need.” – Olivia Brooks  – I LINK A LOT OF THESE TYPE OF ARTICLES FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DIN’T HAVE  HOMESTEADS OR ROOM FOR GARDENS, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!!!

When Stored Water Becomes Unsafe: A Technical Breakdown of Failure Modes in Long-Term Water Storage – “Water storage is often treated as a solved problem: fill, seal, store. That assumption is incorrect. Stored water is a controlled biological and chemical environment, and without proper handling, it will degrade in ways that are not always visible, detectable, or reversible. In a failure scenario, that degradation becomes a direct health risk.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

A Spanbergering – “Virginia’s new governor did something interesting the other day. Or – rather – signed something interesting. She has outlawed the issuing by the state – the DMV – of the Sons of Confederate Veterans license plates that people used to be able to get. The bill she just signed was originally put forward by state rep. Dan Helmer, of Fairfax County. Fairfax is the very heart of darkness of Northern Virginia, which is ironic in view of the fact that Robert E. Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia in its fight to gain independence for the Confederate States of America. That is not, of course, how the victors saw the fight. Nor modern re-interpreters of politically incorrect history such as  Helmer, who opined that “The Confederacy was a four year period in which traitors hellbent on preserving slavery tried – and then failed – to divide the Union.” But that’s not quite right, is it? The Confederacy did not seek to divide the union but rather to leave it. Yes, of course, slavery was an issue. But the core issue was whether a state (any state) had the right to leave a “union” its people – via their representatives – no longer wished to be a part of. What the Confederate states did – what they tried to do – was exactly what the 13 colonies did, successfully” – Eric Peters

The Spirit of Sodom Not a place, but a verdict… – “October 7th is now routinely invoked as the explanation for the unbridled violence and psychopathic disregard for human life displayed by Israel in its recent wars in both Gaza and the Middle East as a whole. That is just an excuse however, an occasion to unleash what has been simmering beneath the surface for decades, now openly expressed across Israeli national conduct as a whole. No clearer example of that condition can be seen than inside Israel’s prison and detention system, particularly as it relates to the treatment of the Palestinian peoples. The Gazan Genocide, for all of its evils, has shined a light on the plight of this people like never before. With it, the victims of the Israeli regime describe a system in which severe physical abuse, humiliation, and sexual violence are routine occurrences.” – Scipio Eruditus

Francesca Albanese Delivers Strong Address At Human Rights Council | DRM News | AC1F (VIDEO) – DRM News  – THIS VIDEO GOES ALONG WITH THE ABOVE ARTICLE. THIS SHORT 9 MINUTE VIDEO NEEDS TO BE LISTENED TO BY ALL. HOW SOMEONE CAN POSSIBLY CONDONE THESE ACTIONS IS BEYOND ME!!!!!

When Bullshit Gets Reported as Fact – “Listening to MSN, one might think that a Chinese tanker heading out of the Gulf, laden with Iranian oil, that gets turned around by a US blockade, is actually breaking some law rather than the whim of demented King Trump. It makes me wonder how long the Chinese/Russians will put up with this nonsense and what happens when they don’t? What happens when Iran/China/Russia/BRICS stand-up to the Zionist Empire. If there is a God, will that God come out on the side of the Zionist Empire? If God is all-knowing, God knows who follows teachings of God’s children (a shout-out to major religions that share more than not).” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

One Of The Largest Food Producing Nations On The Entire Planet May Soon Be Forced To Ration Fuel – “The real pain from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz hasn’t even hit us yet.” – Michael Snyder

Biotech lobby groups are set to trap farmers and breeders in patent minefield – “Deregulation of new GM crops will increase seed market concentration, undermine resilience of the food system. A new EU law that would scrap any safety or labelling rules for a class of new GM crops produced with new genomic techniques (NGTs) is in its final stages. As all GM crops are covered by patents, this will negatively impact the way our food is produced – meaning more market power in the hands of just a handful of corporations, less choice in seeds for farmers and more risk of being sued, and restricted access to plant genetic material for smaller plant breeders. This raises strong concerns, as our food security depends on the availability of diverse and locally adapted seeds.” – Corporate Europe Observatory and GM Watch

German Court Orders BioNTech to Hand Over 32 Internal Safety, Toxicity, and Manufacturing Records on ‘Comirnaty’ COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine – “Court affirms injured patients’ right to access manufacturer data, forcing disclosure.” – Jon Fleetwood

3 Reasons You Should Say Something – “It’s important that we share our testimonies. Not just about how God gifted our salvation, but about the times when God does great things. Don’t we want our kids and grandkids to know that God will help them when they think the situation is hopeless? Or how they can depend on Him when everyone else fails them?” – Kate Dreston

Yet Another HISTORIC CHURCH TORCHED In Canada – “Another historic church lies in ashes after a major fire tore through Saint-Romain, Quebec, last night. The building, whose construction began in 1893, is the latest casualty in a relentless campaign against Canada’s Christian institutions that has seen arsons more than double since 2021. Western nations are watching the same erosion. In the UK, churches face more than 10 crimes every single day.” – Steve Watson

The Trump Empire – A Colossal Investment and Political Failure – “AFFINITY Partners: Founded July 2021 by Jared Kushner with initial funding coming at the behest of Bin Salman in the amount of $2 billion. The stated purpose was to initiate funding in American and Israeli projects and companies in Israel, India and Africa. As of 2024, despite the firm being given upwards of $6 billion, no profits had been generated at all.” – Helena Glass

Anti-Blockade Blockade Comes Into Effect to Mass Confusion – “Yesterday Trump’s “blockade” went into effect, with an alleged 16 US warships attempting to enforce it somewhere outside the Strait of Hormuz. This has led to a wide array of speculation on what exactly is happening, and how much fact vs. fiction there is in Trump’s ambitious claims. AP confirmed that not a single US warship was in the Persian Gulf:” – Simplicius

Empire of Piracy blockades Iran and China – “Iranians are itching to fight – in case the ceasefire collapses. All hail the almighty return of Pirates of the Caribbean, now upgraded to Pirates of the Persian Gulf. The spectacular collapse of the Islamabad diktats – Barbaria came to dictate, never to negotiate – has been followed by a coercion psy ops on steroids: Jesus! (literally, as he posted it on Truth Social) threatening every single ship now paying the Strait of Hormuz toll booth. As every grain of sand from the Gobi to the Sahara already knows, this is all about China.” – Pepe Escobar

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Machinations of Madness and Mayhem – “Let’s recap. Trump started a war with Iran because Israel wanted him to, the Israeli plan failed miserably, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz but only if you insist on paying in dollars, so the US Navy will now blockade the Strait from at least 500 miles away so its ships don’t get sunk until Iran denies its own sovereignty over its half of the waterway. That is not a blockade. That is piracy on the high seas, one ship at a time across an awful lot of ocean, and it cannot possibly work.” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP!!!!

No rules: Where could the next war erupt? – “How the US attack on Iran is pushing the world towards chaos and new conflicts. Iran’s desperate confrontation with two nuclear powers which have a vast network of allies and client states represents a move toward the erosion of the remnants of a unipolar international system. Tehran’s resistance is accelerating the relentless, albeit gradual, shift toward multipolarity. ” – Georgy Asatryan

Luigi-Inspired Arsonist Threatened “Our Way of Life,” Feds Say – “Does that mean gas prices will go down now? Get used to stuff like this. As I reported in January, a leaked draft copy of the Department of Homeland Security’s upcoming annual Homeland Threat Assessment introduced a new “extremism” threat category: “class-based or economic grievances.”” – Ken Klippenstein

The Numbers Don’t Lie – ‘Shock’ Report Says Dem-Run States Flounder Economically While Red States Thrive – “In the last several years, we have watched as beleaguered taxpayers flee the blue states of the East and West coasts for the less expensive cost of living of places like Florida and Tennessee. Elected officials from those blue states try to brush it off, but it’s pretty easy to see that taxpayers are voting with their feet and a U-Haul. Now, there is a new report that backs up what appears to be happening.” – Becky Noble

The EU Didn’t Just Influence Hungary’s Election, It Engineered the Outcome – “Magyar’s 1.85% Voting Record Tells You Everything Brussels Wanted Hidden” – Alexander Muse

AIPAC ‘slimeball’ Eric Swalwell leaves the stage – “Antiwar reformer Rep. Pete Stark warned the public about Swalwell, and was destroyed for it. In Congress, Swalwell provided a reliable rubber stamp for military aid to Israel while distinguishing himself as the most cartoonish promoters of the Russiagate hoax. When he ran for president in 2019 – polling around 0% throughout his campaign – he branded himself the “Guns and Russia” candidate, meaning he would restrict guns for Americans while forking over billions in military aid to Ukraine. With Swalwell’s demise, Pete Stark may have gotten the last laugh. But in a Democratic Party that is hostile to class politics, overrun by corporate lobbyists and occupied by Israel, Swalwell was a prototype. In his wake, new slimeballs will rise to the surface.” – Max Blumenthal

Iran’s Petroyuan Tollbooth Inadvertently Put China In A Zugzwang – “Iran calculated that closing the Strait of Hormuz would put pressure upon the US from its Gulf allies and the rest of the world alike to return to the status quo ante bellum in exchange for reopening it. Reportedly charging yuan for transit was meant to serve the dual purpose of further pressuring the US and encouraging China to extend more support to Iran. Instead, these moves only provoked Trump into ordering the US’ blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which economically harms Iran and also China.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Trump Will Need Plenty of Inflation to Finance His New War – “While it’s true that the war will lead to the production of fewer goods and services, and lead to relative scarcity in oil, this will not be the foundational cause of price inflation, which is a general increase in prices. A general increase in prices only occurs because of increases in the money supply. In an inflationary environment, as goods become more scarce, there are also more dollars chasing all goods and services. If we’re looking for someone to blame for the price hikes, the first places to look should be the US Treasury and the Fed, which relentlessly work in tandem to exploit the people to enrich the regime.” – Ryan McMaken

The Trump Administration Is Manipulating Inflation Data — And Gold Knows It – “The Trump administration is now actively gaming the inflation data. For decades, the U.S. has understated the true state of inflation by applying various accounting gimmicks to the inflation data: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producers Price Index (PPI). The primary reasons for this are because A) it allows policymakers to hide the decline in living standards in the U.S. and B) the U.S. can continue to underpay Social Security COLA benefits based on lower inflation data.” – Graham Summers, MBA

“Here Are Some of the WORST Pieces of Prepping Advice I’ve Heard”- “The competition for the worst prepping advice out there is pretty sharp. It’s been going on for many years and has a tendency to get even more ridiculous as time goes on. One reason is that a lot of the advice is pushing you in the direction of buying something, and when you need to buy something things can go weird and false. Another reason is the fact that there are numerous “experts” out there, and it does not have to be about selling.

THE BIG PICTURE

This So-Called ‘War’ Is a Fraud Meant Only to Force Chaos to Gain Control – “All war is based on deceit and lies, is rarely if ever defensive, with the exception of those countries aggressively attacked by the U.S. In the case of American wars, minus the South’s defense of its independence, all wars have been offensive and based on very nefarious agendas driven by banking and political desires.Yes, all U.S. wars are about gaining more power so as to control its own people. This long-planned, purposely plotted ‘war’ against Iran is based on this exact model, and will likely prove to be a successful coup in order to soon enslave this weak and indifferent society through previously tried and tested means. ” – Gary D. Barnett

Unfit to Govern: We Need a 25th Amendment for the American Police State – One week after posting a profanity-laced Easter message threatening to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, Donald J. Trump, the 47th president of the United States, spent the night of April 12 and into the early morning hours unleashing a barrage of AI-generated images, threats and insults. Blasphemous. Profane. Threatening. Self-aggrandizing. These posts are not anomalies. They are part of a pattern—one that appears to be escalating. What was once dismissed as erratic now feels increasingly unhinged. What was once provocative now borders on delusional. What was once ego now approaches outright megalomania. Consider the trajectory.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

A Few More Conquests Like This, and the Empire Will Be Done For! – “The President’s account on TruthSocial is a noxious stew of misleading information, outright lies, and amoral imperialism. Last year’s “Donroe Doctrine” is a cheap snark of the 1800’s Monroe Doctrine, with no trace of the latter’s objective. This year, in addition to two new criminal wars of aggression and regime change, Trump’s contempt for real faith leads him to personally post images of himself as Christ, egged on by his deranged “spiritual” guide Paula White. When questioned about the now-deleted post, he lied saying it was a picture of himself as a doctor, making people better, something “he does a lot.” Like increasingly noticed US military capabilities, Trump’s lies are vapid and hollow.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Dear American Tax Cattle – “A letter that every parent should give their children when they receive their first paycheck and file their first tax returns. Dear American Tax Cattle, Congratulations! You are now an American taxpayer. For the rest of your life, you will pay ~30% of your income to the federal government and ~10% more to state and local governments. That means in your 8-hour workday, everything you do before lunch goes to the government. In your 5-day work week, Monday and Tuesday goes to the government. For a year of your labor, January, February, March, April, and May goes to the government. If you somehow save enough money, you can buy a house. For the right to live your home, you must pay the government 1-3% of its value every year. Like all other taxes, if you don’t pay them you will be arrested at gunpoint and thrown in jail. Think of it like a mandatory Netflix subscription that is enforced with a monopoly on violence.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Commitment Always Defeats Plans – “The Eternal War never fucking ends! Not because the Responsibles keep drawing up smarter plans. Because the Resentfuls roll in every single day with nothing but raw, teeth-bared commitment. They don’t write white papers. They don’t wait for consensus. They hijack yours. Then they weld their agenda of guilt, envy, and chains straight into the guts of whatever you built.” – E.M. Burlingame

The madness of King Trump: Decoding 47 – “Trump has lost his mind. At least according to America’s most loved MAGA pundit influencers and politicians who have been attacking Trump all season, casting him as irredeemably insane in light of his apparent grotesque mutation or cooption as an unhinged warmonger subordinated to neoconservatives at home and to Likudnik Israel abroad. Gone are the days of peacemaking and unexpected diplomatic moves like the North Korea opening, rapprochement with Russia as a major and highlighted theme; moments that left progressive doves envious and exposed their own inability to deliver on the hopes they once placed in Obama. What happened to reindustrializing the country, affordable housing and healthcare, taking on the CIA and the globalists, and in short, ‘Making America Great Again’?” – Joaquin Flores

The Iranian inkblot part 2 – ” Some additional perspectives. i’m honestly not sure I’ve ever seen a disconnect like the Iran war in terms of the way so many people are looking at the same things and coming to such radically different conclusions and, to be brutally honest, in many cases flat out abandoning sense, core principles, and even basic discernment in their pursuit of wild, questionable conclusions. It feels like derangement.” – El Gato Malo

Unjust Wars The Catholic Church Takes a Stand. In the New York Times send-out this morning, the pope and president are described as “clashing.” That’s one way of putting it. Actually, the pope is arguing for peace and against war and the death of innocents while Trump has been railing about exterminating an entire civilization. A “clash” for sure.” – Bill Astore

Vance and the Uniparty Lack the Courage to Impeach Dementia Don – “Trump will remain in office until the democrats are a majority.” – Kurt Nimmo

American farmers fertilizer Trump risks war backlash from the heartland: American farmers – “Even if Gulf shipping reopens tomorrow, supply lags and energy costs are driving fertilizer and other input costs sky high — just in time for planting season” – Blaise Malley

MORE WAR: The War Powers of the Middle East ReArm to Have another Go at it – “Since Israel’s contribution to the ceasefire was to pummel Lebanon harder than ever before, Iran responded during negotiations by bombing a Saudi pipeline that serves as an alternative route for Saudi oil by transporting the oil over to the Red Sea, rather than out of Persian Gulf ports. That eliminated another 10% of Saudi Arabia’s oil capacity, taking yet more oil out of play for an extended time. Overall oil production from OPEC nations has fallen 27%.” – David Haggith

President Trump & Philip II of Spain: Unconstrained Executive Power – “Philip II’s 1588 misadventure to invade England with his Grand Armada was unconstrained by checks and balances within the Spanish state. Is President Trump any different?” – John Leake

Can US Oil Replace Strait of Hormuz? No. – “A brutal global reckoning remains imminent. Scroll through your social media feeds today, and you will find a dangerously pervasive delusion: the narrative that American oil production is going to swoop in and save the global economy. This myth did not materialize out of thin air. It bears the distinct fingerprints of political operatives desperate to spin a catastrophic war with Iran as an accidental (or masterful?) American triumph.” – Sarah Connor

Trump’s Blockade: Another Bluster Or The Real Agenda? (VIDEO) – Ryan Cristián

La Marxista: Mamdani Pledges to Open First City-Run Store with Projected $30 Million Initial Cost – “It will follow a long line of failed state-operated and city-operated stores. Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, also pledged such city-run stores. It is notable that the stores received such emphasis by Mamdani. It is not difficult to set up a grocery store, particularly when you run the city that approves permits and compliance conditions. It is not even difficult to set up a money-losing store as long as you have a city budget to pay for it. It is far more difficult to set up an independently sustainable store.” – Jonathan Turley

Irish Government on the Verge of Collapse Amid Massive Protests? – “The restless natives of the Emerald Isle, facing what would otherwise be universally recognized as an attempted genocide were they not white, have made their largest showing of defiance to date over the last couple of weeks.” – Ben Bartee

Syria Wants Russia To Compete With Ukraine For Its Loyalty – “Russia’s loss in this new competition could lead to the removal of its air and naval bases.” – Andrew Korybko

The Dollar As The Global Reserve Currency Is Wobbling Precariously – “As the Global Reserve Currency, the dollar dominance is directly correlated to perceived safety and security of the government, and the economy in relation to other dominant economies. Alternative currencies at this stage are not a threat, however, Trump’s Tariffs and Warring have created a wobble. A wobble in earth’s rotation creates fragmentation, a wobble in the global financial system can create a collapse.” -Helena Glass

The Dollar Isn’t Collapsing – It’s Being Replaced Slowly – “The U.S. dollar has been the world’s reserve currency (as the petrodollar) for decades now, but the current conflict in the Middle East seems to have accelerated the dedollarization trend. Now, I’m not talking about an immediate radical shift in how the world approaches the dollar. But I am talking about a clear and definite shift away from the dollar, a shift that didn’t start in the last few weeks.” – Peter Reagan

The U.S.-Iran war dealt a big blow to the global economy. The IMF tells us how bad it could get. – “The latest war illustrates how the international order remains under siege” – Jeffry Bartash

PPI Jumps by over 6% Month-to-Month Annualized for 3rd Month in a Row. Energy Price Spike just Latest Wrinkle – “The hit from energy in March was softened by food and services, which briefly backed off. In prior months, services were the driver.” – Wolf Richter

Europe and Asia fear that Trump’s Hormuz blockade will deepen the oil and gas shortage – “”The Persian Gulf is home to the world’s largest net exporter of crude oil (Saudi Arabia) and the third largest exporter of natural gas (Qatar). Faced with the sudden withdrawal of production from this region from the market—because ships cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz—the 27 EU member states, and particularly Rome and Berlin, have been forced to pay a premium on their supplies for almost six weeks. In short, the bidding war for tankers and LNG carriers already en route has reignited, with ships changing course depending on who makes the highest bid. – Ignacio Fariza and Guillermo Abril

The Coming Copper Price Shock (v-VIDEO) Rick Rule – “We have under-invested in production for so long that “there’s nothing we can do” to avoid the copper price rising to the point where rationing begins,” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Sounds That Give Away Your Location And How to Control Them When It Matters – “Most people go through their entire lives generating noise without a second thought. Your keys jangle against your hip, your jacket swishes with every step, your phone buzzes on a hard surface, and somewhere down the hall, your generator hums loud enough to wake the neighbors. In ordinary life, none of that matters much,but the moment you find yourself in a situation where staying undetected becomes a priority, whether that is moving through backcountry wilderness, maintaining operational security in a rural retreat setting, or simply wanting to understand how sound betrays position, all of that casual noise takes on a very different meaning.” – Bob Rodgers

Freeze Dried Strawberries: How to Make, Store, and Use Them at Home – “Fresh strawberries are one of the best things about summer. They are also one of the most perishable crops you can grow or buy. A flat of strawberries picked at peak ripeness has maybe three days before it starts going south, and if you are growing your own, you know that the harvest does not come in conveniently. It comes all at once, faster than you can use it. Freeze drying solves that problem better than any other preservation method.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

Iran War Explained for Dummies! (VIDEO) – AwakenWithJP   -THIS SHORT 6 MIN. VIDEO BY JP SEARS NAILS IT. IGNORE THE LAST MINUTE, JUST AN AD!!!!

The Birthday Balloon Gas That Controls the Future of Civilization (And Why China Is the Only Country That Seems to Know It)- ” Everyone Thinks the War in Iran Is About Oil. It’s Not. And the People Who Benefit Most From Your Ignorance Are 5,000 Miles East of the Strait of Hormuz.” – Lily-Rose Dawson

“The government is lying to us”, says the government. – “Friends, I rarely get shocked these days but this piece of government propaganda was a shocking shock. On April 8, RFK Jr posted an announcement from his official government account on X that he, as HHS Scy, is launching a podcast. The announcement is bizarre. At the start of the clip, RFK Jr says “the government actually lies to us”: Is he unaware that he is THE GOVERNMENT? If he is aware, then is he admitting that he is lying to us, or is he mocking us?” – Sasha Latypova

IRAN: Why the Blockade Is an Oracle Story (VIDEO)- “In January 2026, the UN Security Council voted to endorse an international body called the Board of Peace, with a stated purpose of overseeing Gaza’s reconstruction. Twenty-six countries signed on, Trump was named chairman, and on paper it looked like multilateral diplomacy finally catching up to a catastrophe. But the Security Council voted on the concept before the charter was ever made public, which means they endorsed an idea of the Board before anyone outside a very small circle had read the actual rules. An international body was legitimized before anyone knew what it was, which is not a procedural footnote. It is the whole trick. When the charter finally surfaced, two things became clear. The first is that Trump is named in it personally, not as President of the United States but as a private individual, as lifetime chairman. The second thing is that the charter does not mention Gaza. The word is not in the document.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Beware the Millennium Challenge War Game – “The 2002 U.S. Joint Forces Command war game found that a US carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf would suffer catastrophic destruction from asymmetrical attacks. The outcome shocked the exercise controllers, and a few days later, the war game was suspended. It was then restarted, with Blue forces resurrected and Red Team heavily constrained: certain weapons and tactics were disallowed, Red unit locations were sometimes revealed to Blue, and free-play rules were so suppressed that the final result appeared preordained. Blue ultimately “won,” but van Riper resigned in protest midway through, later describing the revised exercise as rigged to reinforce existing doctrine rather than genuinely test it. He publicly called the entire effort a waste of taxpayer money.” – John Leake

OPERATION FLICKER: The Time the Government Accidentally Caught… Itself… – “When the government takes down a child predator website, obtains the customer list, and sees who those bad guys are, they come to some alarming realizations…” – Agent131711

BREAKING: Study of 15,000 Nursing Homes Finds Death Risk Lasted Far Longer in the COVID-Vaccinated Than in the Unvaccinated After Infection (VIDEO) – “Analysis of CDC nursing home data—now deleted from government servers—reveals COVID shots failed and backfired in the elderly, the very group these “vaccines” were claimed to protect.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

How America’s Largest Bank Ran Payroll For Epstein’s Child Trafficking Ring & Kept Its Bonus Structure Intact – “JPMorgan Chase processed payments tied to Jeffrey Epstein for over a decade, and it barely caused a ripple. What Was Epstein Actually Worth To The Bank? Here is the question that the financial press has shown almost no interest in asking, which is how much money Epstein was generating for JPMorgan that the largest bank in America was willing to risk federal exposure to keep the relationship alive, because compliance officers screaming human trafficking and executives overruling them doesn’t happen for a client with a savings account and a modest portfolio.” – Joe Martino  – ALSO SEE THE WISE WOLF’S ARTICLE LINKED YESTERDAY ON THIS!!!!

Hamburg prosecutors open criminal investigation into Christian YouTubers for criticising Islam – “This is another in a long series of cases where we find the German state pursuing small-time content creators for posting the most benign things that would have attracted no attention had there been no criminal investigation.” – eugyppius

 

 

 

NEWS

Trump, in melt-down mode, portrays himself as Jesus Christ – “Is this just the latest attempt by Trump to distract the public from his epic failure in Iran, and the fact that he’s delivered almost nothing of what he promised? After tremendous pushback which he apparently didn’t see coming, Trump deleted the post Monday morning. But by that time, it had already been passed around millions of times.” – Leo Hohmann  – PURE BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump Claims He Personally Posted the AI Jesus Photo but Thought It Showed Him as a Doctor and ‘Had to Do with Red Cross’ – Meredith Kile  – HE MUST NREALLY THINK WE ARE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tel Aviv Terrorists Running the World – “The Unchosen are in charge. There is now no doubt about it. The “power behind the scenes” that Disraeli and so many others have referenced throughout history, is centered in an ever widening part of the Middle East. There’s still probably an Illuminati-like group above it all, but as far as what we can see and hear, the ones in charge are the troublemakers in Tel Aviv. I’ve run out of analogies to describe our relationship with Israel. It’s really no fun to have Israel as your ally. I mean, they just ignore any attempt at diplomacy. Like their sycophant Pushup Pete Hegseth, they negotiate with bombs.” – Donald Jeffries  – VERY GOOD READ FROM DONALD!!!!

Mafia Don Trump Whacks the Opposition John Gotti ordered the murder of five people, while Trump ordered the murder of thousands. Trump, however, is a piker when compared to the Zionists. The Zionist crime organization allegedly planned to murder Iran’s negotiators in Islamabad, but for Trump that was a step too far. “Don’t fucking do that,” he reportedly demanded.” – Kurt Nimmo

Global Food Shortages Will Hit The World Like A Freight Train In 6 To 9 Months Because Virtually Nothing Will Get Through The Strait Of Hormuz Now – Michael Snyder

Climate Lockdown: Trump Announces He Will Blockade The Blockade In Strait Of Hormuz, Says Gas Prices Will Remain Elevated Through November – “Cosmic checkers, of course… MAGA base is melting down, too. After peace talks reportedly and inevitably fell through in Pakistan — with Vice President JD Vance and envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff — President Donald Trump today announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, opening the doorway for a much longer conflict that could drag in more players, keep energy prices higher for longer, coupled with many other shortages such as fertilizer and other commodities.” – The WinePress

So you want to blockade Iran . . . – “It may prove a bit more difficult than blocking the Strait of Hormuz. For the record, I am not pro-woodchipper, or pro-porcupine, or pro-Iran. I am trying to keep the potentially coming Great Energy World War sea battles in the realm of reality, and not a recurring fantasy of our Navy’s glory days of WW2. This coming sea war will not be Tom Cruise in Top Gun slapping around Grenada, Panama, Libya or Venezuela. Iran can bite back. Already, we have exposed our inability to close with Iran.” – Matt Bracken

Masterful 5D Stroke: Trump’s Blockade Charade Deflects From Ceasefire Flop – “As expected the Iran-US talks in Pakistan have led to a deadlock—or, in other words, failed. The entire foundation on which the talks were premised was phony because the US is agreement-incapable and does nothing but lie at every stage of the process.” – Simplicius

‘Israel First’ in Iran War Sparks MAGA Civil War (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal – Glenn Diesen  – GOOD VIDEO WITH MAX AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US Allies Loudly Reject Trump’s Scheme To Blockade Hormuz: ‘Not Getting Dragged In’ – “Prime Minister Keir Starmer made clear his stance that “we are not supporting the blockade.” As fully expected Spain’s government also condemned the US move, with the country’s Defense Minister Margarita Robles having said, “It’s just another episode in this downward spiral we’ve slipped into,” adding that Trump and Netanyahu “want to impose rules on the international community, which is illogical.”President Emmanuel Macron said, “As regards the Strait of Hormuz, in the coming days, together with the UK, we will organize a conference with those countries prepared to contribute alongside us to a peaceful multinational mission aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the strait.” ” – Tyler Durden

The Causes & Consequences Of Orban’s Downfall – “Most Hungarians came to take his achievements for granted and won’t appreciate what they had until it’s gone.” – Andrew Korybko

IRISH FUEL PROTESTS: The People Of Ireland Are Fighting Back Against Their Treasonous Government With A National Strike “SHUTTING DOWN HARD!” – “After crippling fuel taxes were imposed by their NWO globopedo captured government, truckers, farmers, and bus drivers blockaded highways, ports, and key intersections all across Ireland in protest. And just like in Canada during the PSYOP-19 scamdemic truck protests when that WEF “penetrated” neo-communist government froze the bank accounts of patriots, so too is the Irish government now seizing the bank accounts of nationalists:” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

When The Government Claims It Owns The Rain – “”Is It Legal to Collect Rain on Your Own Land? What Every Off-Gridder Needs to Know Step outside after a good rain and take a look around. The soil is dark and alive, the gutters are running, and every inch of your land is drinking in what just fell from the sky. It feels simple. Natural. Like a gift. But here’s the part most people don’t realize until it’s too late: in some places, that water isn’t legally yours to keep. And no, that’s not a fringe theory—it’s baked into American water law. – Bill Heid

Protecting Chickens From Predators – “Raising chickens is a valuable practice for any homesteader, but protecting chickens from predators can be a tough job. Your backyard chickens depend on you for health, housing and safety. In return, they will supply you with eggs, entertainment, pest control, fertilizer, meat and more. But as prey animals, chickens are also the subject of great interest to everything from domestic dogs to snakes, rats, owls and hawks. You should expect to lose a bird to predation occasionally, but there are some tips that will go far to help keep your flock safe.” – Hank Will

When the Road Ends: When a Bug-Out Turns Into a Wilderness Survival Situation – ” There’s a quiet assumption built into most bug-out plans: that movement equals safety. You leave early, you follow your route, and you arrive where you’re supposed to be. But across Canada—whether it’s wildfire evacuations in British Columbia, washed-out roads in Quebec, or sudden highway closures in Northern Ontario—there’s a growing pattern. People don’t fail because they didn’t leave. They fail because they couldn’t finish the trip.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

You Must Choose, So Choose Wisely – “We are free to choose right and wrong for ourselves. We are called to choose right and wrong for ourselves. We are commanded to choose right and wrong for ourselves. We are not guaranteed to get the choice right. We are not guaranteed our choices will work out as we want. We are not guaranteed God will make the choices for us and save us from ourselves. We have to choose, and so it is imperative that we choose wisely, with deliberation and much reflection. That is our best hope—our only hope—for making the right choice, and even then we will get it wrong at least some of the time.” – Peter Nayland Kust  – PETER COVERS A BIBLE STORY THAT YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH TO ILLUSTRATE HIS POINT!!!

TENTH Scientist Reported Missing; Disturbing Dark Project Secrets Pattern Continues – “Nuclear contractor with top clearance vanishes in New Mexico. Yet another high-level government contractor with intimate knowledge of America’s nuclear weapons program has disappeared without a trace—becoming the tenth individual connected to U.S. secrets to die or vanish under suspicious circumstances recently.” – Steve Watson

WTF Happened in 1971? – “So, do you want the primer on what actually happened in 1971, the year of Peak Everything? As always, your wish is my command. Let’s go! That’s right! 1971 may have been the year that the world witnessed the death of the Old Gold-Backed Monetary Order and the birth of the New Fiat Monetary Order, but 2026 may very well be the year that witnesses the death of the New Fiat Monetary Order and the birth of the New New Digital Fiat Monetary Order! If you want to see it in pictures, you take this:” – James Corbett  – GOOD ONE FROM JAMES. A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U.S. Participates in WHO Influenza Conference Despite Withdrawal from Organization, HHS Confirms – ““CDC representatives will take part in the meeting to support international technical collaboration,” the Department of Health and Human Services tells NPR. Despite its public withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States participated in the WHO’s February influenza conference. The move underscores a striking contradiction between the Trump administration’s policy and its actions.” – Jon Fleetwood

The Incredible Secrets of Coconuts – “Note: one of the things that is extremely frustrating about nutritional guidelines is that they always tell you what you should not eat rather than what you should.

Low IQ Losers . . – “How can Trump be “MAGA” when he has repudiated pretty much everyone who is MAGA? Another way to put this is to ask whether MAGA is a set of principles or devotion to a single personality – even when the two things are no longer congruent?Yesterday, Trump released another of his fulminating tirades, this time directed at Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. These three have been – along with Marjorie Taylor Greene – the most MAGA of Trump’s former supporters. They no longer support him because – as they have pointed out – Trump is no longer MAGA. At least, his policies no longer are and that’s the thing, as they see it. ” – Eric Peters  – SEE YESTERDAY’S IMAGE FOR THE DAY!!!

Nobody’s “Obsessed” With Israel — It’s Just A Uniquely Horrible Country – “Have you ever noticed how the same people who accuse Israel’s critics of “obsession” with a tiny insignificant country will also fall all over themselves to tell you that Israel is an indispensable ally whose interests are inextricably intertwined with the interests of western civilization?” – Caitlin Johnstone

‘No Deal’: Vance Leaves Islamabad As Iran Talks Stall Over Nukes; US Starts Mine-Clearing Hormuz – “US-Iran peace talks have broken down over Iran’s commitment to no nuclear weapons, Vance said “it’s bad news for Iran, much more than for the US.”” – Tyler Durden

Trump Begins Blockade Of Hormuz Strait, Says Iran “Will Not Be Allowed To Profit From Extortion” – “Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!” – Tyler Durden

Hormuz Confusion – Make it make sense! – “Is it closed or open? Who closed it and how? Were there mines or not? These were just some of the questions to which it was impossible to find a single straight answer. Do you remember the mines that both sides said weren’t there? Well, now the New York Times is reporting they are definitely there, but Iran doesn’t remember exactly where…Does that make sense? Haven’t Iran-approved ships from friendly countries been paying at the “toll booth” for at least a couple of weeks? How is that possible if there were mines? Let alone mines that Iran can’t locate? This potential contradiction doesn’t matter in the end, though, because Donald Trump has said the US Navy is already “clearing out” the mines (adding that all 28 of Iran’s mine-laying ships are “at the bottom of the sea”). Does that make sense? Because the US supposedly decommissioned their minesweeping ships back in September, and sailed them out of the Gulf theatre in January (and we know no new US naval assets have entered the Gulf since,” – Kit Knightly

Iran Is Not Collecting Tolls in the Strait of Hormuz and Never Was – “The $2 Million Hormuz Toll Story Falls Apart When You Look at the Ships. ” – Alexander Muse –  A MUST READ, YOU CAN’T ALWAYS BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA BT THE MSM OR OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pakistan Might Assist With The US’ Blockade Of The Strait – “It’s a “Major Non-NATO Ally” located in proximity to the mission area and thus capable of providing logistical support at a minimum with the expectation that its formidable armed forces and nuclear weapons would deter Iranian retaliation if their shared Chinese partner is unable to disabuse it.” – Andrew Korybko

Hungary’s Prime Minister Will Lose Despite (Because?) of Trump’s Endorsement – “Trump sent JD Vance to Hungary to help Victor Orbán. It backfired. But Orbán may not go quietly. There’s a possible court battle.” – Mish

Irish Patriots are Fighting Back – “The spirit of revolution hangs in the air. So you say you want a revolution? Well, take a look at what’s happening in Ireland right now. Tens of thousands of farmers, truckers, and other fed-up “normies” are taking to the streets of Dublin to protest fuel taxes, mass immigration, and poverty-inducing “climate change” policies. For the most part, corporate news propagandists in both Europe and North America are intentionally ignoring the combustible situation. Just when I had begun to think that all the “fighting Irish” had moved to America, the Old Country has started to show signs of life. Perhaps there are still a few irascible pugilists willing to bash heads and take on the globalist empire after all.” – J.B. Shurk

British Greens’ New Masterplan: Throw Open the Doors to Every Soul on Earth – “Pretty much the entire developed world faces the problem of streams of “asylum seekers” and “migrants,” which are the polite terms that the left applies to invading hordes from the Third World. President Donald Trump was elected to his second term in no small part to address this crisis, and he has. Across the Atlantic, though, the British Green Party makes no such appeasing noises. They are for a world without borders, and they are for extending Britain’s generous social welfare benefits to everyone who cares to flood into the British Isles.” – Ward Clark

How the Iranian Regime Turned Oil Money into a Strategic Threat to the United States and the Western Economies. – “Iran is a threat not just for its expansion and terror policies but for its cash flow.” – Daniel Lacalle

The Myth that Won’t Die: “War is Good for the Economy” – “War is the ultimate government intervention. It is the excuse for all kinds of evils to be imposed on the governed. From confiscation through taxes and inflation to restriction of freedom of speech and the redirection and even nationalization of whole industries, nothing increases state power such as war. As the state is predatory and produces nothing of use, it is the ultimate impoverishing situation. From an ideological point of view, it is even worse, mixing love for one’s culture and homeland with the state itself. It reduces individual’s resistance to loss of liberty and creates in their minds the myth of the protecting government. There is also another insidious idea that a lot of people hold: That is that war has economic and other benefits, not to certain individuals or groups, but to the community at large. It is worth examining these supposed benefits to show that no, war does not benefit the community, it is just death and destruction.” – Carlos Boix

CPI Hits 3.3%, Consumer Sentiment Hits Record Low — Stagflation Is Here (VIDEO) – Peter Schiff

Here’s Why March’s CPI Confirms Our Gold Rally Thesis – “With the latest U.S. government data released, the market is missing a key part of the story. Core inflation, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.2% for the month and 2.6% year over year. The monthly core rate was identical to February. In a month where gasoline rose 21%, the underlying price structure of the U.S. economy moved by the same amount it moved the month before the war. That is the most important number in the March report, and it is the one most of the media coverage flashing in the wake of the report missed.” – Nomi Prins

Despite a sharp drop in price, fundamentals remain strong with consumption exceeding supply. Morgan warns that a true stress event could emerge if commercial bar delivery fails, triggering a rapid repricing. He also raises concerns about digital currencies and the growing risk of financial surveillance replacing real asset ownership.” – Liberty and Finance

Preparing Future Generations for an Uncertain Future – Part 1 – “You are currently living in one of the worst, most destructive periods in American History in terms of economics, morality, and family formation. It is my sincere hope that there are families out there somewhere either in the United States or around the world who share a vision of saving Western Civilization. Some people may say what can one man or one family do. Just a small percentage can change the world. It has been said many times that only a very small percentage of the American colonists actively fought in the American Revolution.” – Single Farmer

How NOT to Look “Tacticool” as a Prepper – “There’s nothing wrong with keeping things tactical, but before you cross that line to being tacticool, let’s get into what “tacticool” really means. “Tacticool” is generally used as an insult to describe a person (or equipment) that’s obviously trying too hard to be tactical. In the process of trying too hard, most people become more ineffective because they overlook the basics.” – By Reaper

Salt, Smoke, and Time: Preserving Meat Without Refrigeration in a Canadian Climate – “There’s a quiet assumption built into modern life that most people never question: meat is temporary. You buy it cold, store it colder, and trust that refrigeration will always be there to keep it safe. But the moment that system fails—whether for days or permanently—that assumption collapses fast. What you have isn’t food security. It’s a countdown. Long before freezers and vacuum sealers, people across Canada and similar climates preserved meat using three simple forces: salt, smoke, and time. Those methods still work—but only if you understand them properly.” – denob

Don’t you let that deal go down, no, no

Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin’ there, composin’ lonesome blues
Goes to show you don’t ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round, don’t you let that deal go down

Wait until that deal come round, don’t you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don’t you let that deal go down
Don’t you let that deal go down, don’t you let that deal go down

( Deal by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia )

THE BIG PICTURE

Trump Posts: ‘World’s Most Powerful Reset!!!’ – “Trump continues to rub it in people’s faces and people STILL don’t get what’s going on. It’s incredible. Yesterday morning, President Donald Trump, with no context or preamble, posted on Truth Social a cryptic message: “World’s Most Powerful Reset!!! I’ve said repeatedly over the last several weeks that the Iran War, with the Covid-style climate lockdowns and energy shocks caused by it, and the push for this new multipolar world order and interoperable tokenized global economy is the next leg of the Great Reset — a term coined by the World Economic Forum and its founder Klaus Schwab.” – The WinePress

Roy Cohn and the Orange Colored Con Man (VIDEO) – “According to Psychologist Maria Konnikova’s landmark study on the subject, there is a choreography that con artists have refined over centuries: The Put-Up identifies the mark. The Play is when an emotional connection is built by mirroring the mark’s values and gaining their confidence. The Rope, the Tale, the Convincer, and the Breakdown are various levels of getting the mark so emotionally invested that they begin to persuade themselves and rationalize away any doubt that may arise. The Touch is the final grift, and the Blow-Off and Fix is when the con artist exits. Rather than deal with the humiliation, the mark rarely reports what happened. But you don’t have to be stupid to fall for the con, studies show us that the victims of the con game are often successful and highly educated. Donald Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn, understood this better than most.” – Gteg Reese

“A permanent hit to living standards” – Iran War agenda revealed. – “The Iran War has been going on for less than six weeks, has thus far involved no infantry engagements of any kind on either side, and is currently in the middle of a ceasefire. Does that sound like a conflict that can already be described as going to “define our generation”? Because that’s what Sir Keir Starmer said earlier today. Now, politicians engaging in hyperbole for the sake of a soundbite is hardly rare, but Starmer is far from alone in this over-statement…This is a LOT of premature narrative formation. Propaganda that spits out the answer before the teacher has even finished asking the question. And it’s a tell-tale sign of narrative roll-out, rather than an organic reaction to real events. I wonder what the end goal might be…” – Kit Knightly

The Coming 6G Deployment – “With governments and corporations alike working feverishly on 6G deployment with AI-native tech and implantables (like BISC) that will be “interoperable,” the year 2030 is coming fast.” – Makia Freeman

Valley Of The Dolls In A World According To Trump – “John Barnetts death was ruled a suicide despite his fingerprints NOT being found on the gun. Charlie Kirks autopsy report was never released to the public. Seth Rich’s FBI file remains classified and is not available for the public. Gary Webb died by TWO gunshots to the head – still classified as suicide. This is the American government. Not some rogue communist Bolshevik regime occupied by Stalin. And here we have – in the midst of the most egregious war and genocide across the Middle East – Trump posting a rendering of his Triumphal Arche to be built in his legacy of WAR, Death, Genocide, and CHAOS – because monuments and awards and accolade and praise are the Valley of the Dolls in the World according to Trump.” – Helena Glass

Yes, the President Could Actually End Civilization and Nobody Could Stop It – “If you ask the average person if a single, unhinged president can just decide to end the world, they’ll probably say no. They figure there must be some failsafes or checks in place, right? Well, hate to break it to you, but they’re totally wrong! The one person who holds the ultimate power to launch thousands of nukes actually said this recently: “A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” – President Trump, April 7, 2026. He basically warned that an entire civilization would be wiped out if Iran didn’t back down. He wasn’t talking about small, targeted strikes—he explicitly talked about hitting civilian infrastructure like bridges and power plants.” – Sarah Connor

Does the Bible Forbid Cremation? – “The answer is fairly straightforward…” – Jim McCraigh

The United States Have Always Been a One Party State – “and they’ve usually had two of them. They still do. The names have changed, the issues have changed, which particular type of political snake-oil each party peddles changes every few years, and sometimes they even change roles, but the end result is always the same—the ruling class maintains control. The American people get to change nothing directly, we must always wait for the politicians do that.” – Ohio Barbarian

Neocon Don’s exit ramp in Iran is a cliff – “When President Donald Trump vowed to neutralize the warmongering neocon establishment in Washington, hardly anyone imagined his master plan would involve hugging it so tightly that he couldn’t tell where it ended and he began — and then politically self-immolating like he was chasing 72 virgins. “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care,” the President told a White House Easter brunch. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.” Apparently, Trump’s long-promised “Golden Age” features Tomahawks, not toddlers.” – Rachel Marsden

When Is a Ceasefire a Scam? – “Trump and Israel will make sure the war against Iran continues” – Philip Giraldi

Resident Fellow at Zionist Think Tank Demands Murder of Iran’s Negotiators – “The CIA’s favorite newspaper, The Washington Post, is demanding the US continue its wanton terrorist murder in Iran by taking out negotiators currently meeting in Islamabad, Pakistan, with J.D. Vance and two Zionist real estate developers. Marc Thiessen, a columnist for the newspaper and a resident fellow at the neocon American Enterprise Institute, writes that if Iran refuses to capitulate, Trump should murder the negotiators. “Total and complete victory. 100%. No question about it,” Trump told Agence France-Presse on April 7. Pete Hegseth, the Jerusalem Cross tattooed Secretary of War, peddled a similar deception. “Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital-V military victory,” he lied during a Pentagon press conference the following day. “Epic Fury decimated Iran’s military and rendered it combat-ineffective for years to come.” This twaddle might work on your average incurious and intellectually disadvantaged American commoner tuned into Fox News and CNN, but it is a couple hundred light-years away from the truth: ” – Kurt Nimmo

The Iran War Has Been A Catastrophe For The US — But Israel Wants More – “Despite the publicly espoused hubris of the Trump administration, its war of aggression against Iran has been a costly embarrassment, replete with failures. Yet its continuation is still being actively encouraged by Israel.

ECONOMIC NEWS

This is the Rally You Do Not Sell (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “I can’t tell you from day to day what is going to come. All I can do is tell you what the end game is going to be. The endgame is gold and silver can’t bankrupt in a world that is in the process of bankrupting. Gold and silver are God’s money. They are physical assets. Fiat currencies are debt outstanding, and those are manmade and they will collapse under their own weight.” – Greg Hunter  – GOOD ONE WITH BILL AS USUAL!!!

The Big Money Mirage – ““Big money will be made.” The remark was made by President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social following the ceasefire deal with Iran. Who will make the big money is unclear. But it sounds good, nonetheless. With the announcement of the two-week reprieve in bomb dropping and missile strikes, and the supposed resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the price of oil promptly dropped over 16 percent. By Wednesday morning both WTI and Brent crude were below $95 per barrel. Perhaps two weeks will turn into a permanent ceasefire with Iran. As far as the greater Middle East is concerned, it’s unlikely. Israel was quick to clarify that the ceasefire with Iran does not include Lebanon. The war campaign in Beirut continues.” – MN Gordon

Sick Behavior From Financial Psychopaths – “The Fed is likely thinking bailout or backstop for private credit, while banks look to monetize its demise. I’ve been saying this for months: despite “experts” just sounding the alarm moments ago: the private credit unwind that started months ago and has now spiraled into a very real liability for the economy wasn’t some unknowable tail risk lurking in the shadows. It couldn’t have been clearer if it was a fucking neon sign blinking THIS ENDS BADLY” – Quoth the Raven.

THE BIG PICTURE

I’m 85. Society Calls Me A “Failure,” But I’m The Happiest Man Alive. (VIDEO) – “Meet Artie Pendelton. In 1961, he had a full-ride scholarship to Yale Law. He was on the fast track to the “American Dream.” He walked out after 14 minutes and never looked back. Today, Artie lives in a 1974 Airstream with zero assets, no 401k, and a net worth that wouldn’t buy you a nice dinner in the city. But while his “successful” classmates were dying of stress-induced heart attacks in mahogany offices, Artie was busy becoming the richest man in the world—measured in time, peace, and freedom. In this 20-minute masterclass on “The Art of Losing,” Artie deconstructs the “Success Trap” and explains why your “personal brand” is actually your prison.” – The 11th Hour  – GOOD VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Can’t Escape the Twilight Zone – “Things became even more surreal for me when I noted that few people seemed to be bothered by the instant death dispensed to alleged Venezuelan cocaine smugglers. On multiple levels, this bothered me terribly. As far as I knew, this was also a new development (a significant change) as I could not recall any other president who had authorized bombing missions to take out crew members who might be transporting cocaine. Instant death for alleged/likely/possible cocaine traffickers was apparently now okay. Not only that, this new drug-fighting policy seemed to be quite popular as many Americans were cheering on this instant judicial verdict and ultra-swift punishment. Don’t get me wrong; I know cocaine can be a bad and dangerous drug that destroys lives. But I didn’t know Venezuela was the worst country for drug cartels. I thought the most-reviled cocaine nation was Mexico, but I could find no stories about drug boats 20 miles off the coast of Mexico that were suddenly being blown up by Hellfire missiles every day. I actually thought our nation’s cocaine epidemic had long ago been replaced by heart-tugging stories of citizens addicted to, say, meth, fentanyl or even perfectly-legal opioids. That is, I didn’t know cocaine was once again the No. 1 target of our vast “War Against Drugs” ” – Bill Rice Jr.

Trump-Linked WLFI Uses 5 Billion Own Tokens to Drain Lending Pool and Strand Depositors as Funds Hit Coinbase Prime – “Onchain data shows $75 million in borrowed stablecoins routed out of the protocol, leaving a maxed‑out pool, trapped depositors and an unanswered question: where did the money go?” – The Silver Academy  – LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE TRUMPS ARE MAKING MONEY WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS STRANDED AND CAN’T GET THEIR  MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Theater of the Absurd – “Every detail has been designed to create the illusion of permanence and power to rivet our attention and distract us from noticing that behind this faux fabrication, the world is on fire. Since the entire point of the theatrics is to cloak the decay of the status quo from serving shared interests to a craven scramble of self-enrichment, no expense is spared in the theatrics,” – Charles Hugh Smith

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are Way Overrated and Potentially Dangerous – “Most people have no clue how much these drugs suck. The oft-cited rationale for quelling inflammation with NSAIDs is “so the body can begin the healing process.” Today, you’re going to learn why the research does not support this contention.” – Anthony Colpo

Man Lights Toilet Paper Warehouse On Fire, Says He Should Have Been Paid More – A Sign Of Things To Come – “Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal says it best: “When people lose everything, and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”. It’s almost a little surprising that this sort of thing hasn’t happened more frequently, but it will as things in this country continue to spiral out of control. We’ve talked many times about the rapidly worsening economic conditions in this country and in Western nations, and beside the obvious reasons as to why arson is wrong, you are going to see more of this.” – The WinePress

9th NASA Secrets-Linked Scientist Dies Mysteriously – Frank Bergman

BREAKING: The First Lady Just Said Epstein Was Not Alone. Here Is the Federal Archive That Proves It. – “Melania Trump stood at the White House today and said what needed to be said. Within two hours, Twitter had 260,000 posts about it. Most of them missed the point. The denial was not the story. What came after it was. She called for congressional hearings centered on survivors. Sworn testimony. A permanent public record. Each and every woman should have her day.” – Sayer Ji

WHO OWNS THE CENTRAL BANKS? – “And what are their principle objectives? Institutions like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) are owned exclusively by 63 central banks, representing countries accounting for roughly 95% of world GDP. Theories claiming ownership by private families like the Rothschilds are false; central banks are public institutions or state-owned entities, and private banking groups operate separately from these monetary authorities.” – Frances Leader

Is MTG Right? – “Marjorie Taylor Greene – who was an ardent supporter of Trump until Trump betrayed MAGA – told Alex Jones the other day that the time has come to “burn the Republican Party to the ground” because it is lousy with foreign agents working for MIGA. That is to say, the Republican Party – and Trump, specifically – are (effectively) agents of the state of Israel. Or at least, so slavishly beholden to its interests that they might as well be literally on the payroll. Or just a member of the cult. The one that believes – say it with the eyes-shut, jazz hands fervency of a Christian evangelist preacher such as John Hagee – that the state of Israel, run by secular (and militantly socialist) Zionists – is the incarnation of the Israel mentioned in the Bible The modern Israelis – the Zionists – certainly believe it. Or at least, act on it. It amounts to the same thing. They are self-chosen and their destiny is to rule the world. Imbeciles such as Hagee believe they will rule alongside. They are the latter-days incarnation of Lenin’s “useful idiots.” She has, as they say, a point. Put another way, what was the point of voting for Trump given what we got was MIGA rather than MAGA?” – Eric Peters

The Promises Were Big. The Delivery Wasn’t. – “So much winning with this guy… I’ve been thinking about all the stuff Trump promised that either never happened, or got replaced with something nobody asked for and spun into a “win” by him and his administration when selling it to the American people. A lot of people voted for action. What they got instead was a lot of talk, a lot of spin, and the same old government garbage dressed up with a different label. Let’s be honest about it. There’s been a whole lot of “America First” talk and what we’ve got is Israel first kissing the wall like all the others who kissed it before him. But actual Americans are still paying more for food, more for household goods, more for everyday necessities, and getting less in return.” – M.D. Creekmore  – M.D. LAYS IT ALL OUT, PRETTY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the Samson Option unthinkable? – “Could Israel contemplate going nuclear if Trump turns away? The Samson Option, Israel’s doctrine of last-resort nuclear retaliation, is no longer a theoretical contingency. At the end of seven weeks of war in the Persian Gulf, the conditions that might trigger it are not emerging; they may already be present. What began as a joint US/Israeli campaign for regime change and decapitation of Iran’s leadership has collapsed into a protracted strategic failure. ” – Ashes of Pompeii  – WAIT, WHAT, ISRAEL HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS. WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT!!!

The Madness of King Trump and his Schmeacefire – “The whole world is mocking the TACO King’s claim of victory. Apparently the reason there is so much confusion over Trump’s Schmeacefire is that no written agreement signed by all parties exists! Iran is operating off any one of three lists of its own demands, believing (or claiming to believe) that one of those is what the Trump Administration agreed to. Team Trump is operating off of the list of its demands, claiming that was what was agreed to. Israel is operating off wanton desire to exploit the void. JD Vance, Trump’s key negotiator with Iran now, is operating on the basis that this is all just a simple misunderstanding between mortal enemies.” – David Haggith

Trump vows ‘complete decimation’ in ceasefire warning to Tehran – “US warships are being reloaded with ‘the best weapons ever made’ for the ‘complete decimation’ of Iran, which Donald Trump says will be unleashed if peace talks in Pakistan fail” – Joe Smith, Christopher Mallett, Tannur Anders,and Tim Hanlon

Speculation Surges That Pakistan Talks Are A Delay Tactic Ahead Of Expanded US Action On Iran – “President Trump has made clear that American forces will still be “hanging around” the Persian Gulf area with an eye on Iran, while demanding that the Strait of Hormuz be opened to global energy transit once again. ” – Tyler Durden

Bogus Iran ceasefire discredits US leadership (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal – “Trump is being played by Netanyahu, the White House is lying about Lebanon, and Iran has actually emerged stronger through Hormuz leverage, diplomatic openings, and strategic endurance. The punchline: Washington looks weak, Israel calls the shots, and the empire keeps exposing itself.” – Judge Andrew Napolitano

Trump Crowns His Military Humiliation in Iran with Tabas II – “The US Air War and Ground War Merge in the Wreckage Near Isfahan. The Zionist media still has not grasped the scale of the military fiasco created by the Trump’s clown-like Military Team who have managed to undermine the credibility of the whole US Armed Forces. Part of the disgrace belongs to the USA’s Presstitute Legacy Media. Most of their members continue to sit on top of the huge military scandal that has yet to be properly exposed.” – Anthony James Hall

Hunter Biden has quietly bolted from the US and claims he is $17 million in debt – Peter Rubinstein

The US Separation From Europe And NATO Is Long Overdue – “As much as many centrists and libertarians are opposed to Donald Trump’s ongoing strikes against Iran, I have to say, the downstream result might end up becoming one of the most libertarian results I have ever seen. For decades, small government activists like those in the Ron Paul movement have been calling for a comprehensive US divorce from NATO and the shutdown of America’s military bases overseas. Trump has, either deliberately or inadvertently, set this very process in motion.” – Brandon Smith

ECONOMIC NEWS

Why $61 Billion Of Foreign Aid Should Be Abolished Entirely – “Needless to say, saddled with nearly $40 trillion of public debt, which is sure to hit $60 trillion by the early 2030s and a crushing society-destroying $150 trillion by mid-century, America is in no fiscal position to be an international philanthropist.” – David Stockman

February PCE: The End Of “More Of The Same” – “Precursor And Prelude To War’s Inflationary Price Shocks” – Peter Nayland Kust

Peace Deal or Not, the Inflationary Shockwave Is Already in the Pipeline – “Residential construction feels the impact of an energy price spike fastest through lumber (energy-intensive to produce and ship), while also getting hit on the demand side — mortgage rates stay high if the Fed can’t cut because of inflation re-acceleration. In this scenario both supply and demand deteriorate simultaneously. This is why the homebuilding index remains near its March lows despite the cease-fire agreement with Iran: the sector is realizing that the economics no longer work and won’t work for some time.” – Graham Summers, MBA

First Wave of Energy Price Spikes Hit CPI Inflation – “Energy that Americans pay for directly: Gasoline, propane, fuel oil, other fuels, utility natural gas, and electricity.” – Wolf Richter

Americans blame Iran war for worsening economy, pushing consumer sentiment to record low – “Consumers’ views sour on business conditions and personal finances, and inflation expectations soar” – Greg Robb

Have gold and silver bottomed? – “The controversy is now about escalating risk and how to hedge it. Let’s make something clear before addressing this question: regulators train and legislate investment managers into believing that gold is not the way to hedge investment risk. Gold is not a regulated investment and therefore not an investment at all. An investment manager can hold a small amount of unregulated investments if his compliance officer signs it off. But the compliance officer is there to discourage or prevent an investment manager from even considering investing in unregulated investments. Consequently, investment managers see the risk-free position to be cash in their accounting currency, even to the extent of not buying physical gold or silver ETFs. It amounts to a cop-out. This meddling with markets by the authorities is at the root of the current period of confusion in western capital markets over how to respond to black swan events such as the war against Iran.” – Alasdair Macleod

The 1970s Are Back – But This Time the Fed Is Cornered – “The big question isn’t whether today perfectly mirrors the 1970s. It’s whether the underlying forces – persistent inflation, energy instability and constraints on monetary policy – continue to build. If they do, history suggests gold could remain an important part of the conversation. If they don’t, gold may still respond – but for different reasons tied to shifting policy expectations. Either way, one takeaway stands out: This environment is not defined by a single outcome – but by competing forces pulling in different directions. And in that kind of environment, clarity is scarce – but signals matter more than ever.” – Peter Reagan

The $75 Silver Signal Just Fired – “The next move will not be obvious—unless you see what the market is really saying. Silver crossed and held $75. That was not noise. That was the signal. When the so-called Iran ceasefire hit, gold and silver should have backed off. Instead, they surged. That is not how a peace trade behaves. That is how markets react when they know the real story is still ahead of the headlines. This is not just another metals rally. It is a repricing event driven by instability, supply pressure, and the growing realization that inflation is not dead—it is mutating.” – Kerry Lutz

Study: 86% of AI Unemployed will be Women – “AI is coming for Karen. The reason is the industrial revolution took jobs from people who work with their hands — routine physical work. But AI is taking routine paperwork — people who forward emails, schedule meetings, and sit on diversity committees.” – Peter St Onge

Why Off-Grid Thinkers See What Others Don’t – “Let’s put this where it actually lives… right outside your back door. The man checking his livestock at sunrise, watching the wind shift across his pasture, noticing when the birds go quiet… he’s paying attention to signals most people never even think to look for. Meanwhile, the guy inside—coffee in one hand, phone in the other—is scrolling through headlines, reacting to noise, and calling it “being informed.” But here’s the uncomfortable truth. One of those men is tuned into reality. The other is tuned into a feed. (Yep, he’s being fed)” – Bill Heid

Solar Electric Fence for Garden: Battery-Powered 3-Wire Setup – Ken Jorgustin

Here’s How To Grow Food Without Land – “The standard assumption about food production is that you need land. A backyard, a farm, a patch of actual ground that belongs to you. For most of human history that was largely true. It is not anymore.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

Weed Control Plan for an Organic Vegetable Garden – “There are a lot of great methods for controlling weeds without the use of chemicals. In fact, I can name 18 effective ways of controlling weeds off the top of my head. You could even use weeds in creative ways, and some are even edible! But, when you are growing an organic garden, you need more than a great repertoire of techniques to control weeds. You need a master weed control plan!” – Tasha Greer

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!!!!!!!!

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

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.

If you or someone you love has a required prescription, this article on how to stockpile medication is for you.

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!!!

Ceasefire with Iran – “But will it lead to an end to a disastrous war?’ – Bill Astore

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

 

 

 

NEWS

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
