THE BIG PICTURE
Delusional Tech Bros (Forever 404): Soul Not Found – “There’s something uncanny about them—that dry, sterile glow that no LED panel or nutrient infusion can fix. They don’t look younger. They look embalmed. Preserved. Bryan Johnson, Silicon Valley’s poster boy for techno-immortality, spends over $2 million a year trying not to die. His daily life is a spreadsheet of sacrifice: 100+ pills, a 2,250-calorie vegan diet with no joy or necessary healthy animal fats, biometric tracking, blood tests, morning workouts timed to the minute, shockwave therapy to the groin, and plasma infusions from his teenage replicant son—all in service of the belief that aging is optional if you just “optimize” hard enough. His body is a lab. His mind, a dashboard. His meals are sterile bowls of mechanized goo-gruel designed to feed mitochondria that power a silicon soul. This isn’t defying death or transcending anything—it’s transhumanist cosplay, and Bryan Johnson isn’t alone. The Mount Rushmore of the Immortality Industrial Complex is a rogues’ gallery of men who fused Dr. Frankenstein with his monster and constantly tweak the product while selling t-shirts, supplements, and tickets to the operating room:” – The Good Citizen
How X Suppresses Reach – “Elon Musk’s X is supposedly a place where people are allowed to speak – that is, post – freely. And that’s technically true. Elon generally permits people to post freely. But whether anyone sees what they post is another matter. Some days, they’re allowed to see. But the next day, no one sees. It’s as if you’d never posted all the things you posted. No. It’s not “as if.” It’s exactly like that. As in you might as well not have posted anything at all. This pattern repeats regularly. It is indicative of both suppression and manipulation. The suppression part is obvious enough. You post – but no one sees. More finely, the algorithm keeps anyone from seeing – including people who have “followed” you – unless they take the additional step of finding your “feed” and checking to see what you’ve posted. They are not notified that you have posted something, in other words. This is a very clever – and very subtle – form of suppression.” – Eric Peters
Catherine Austin Fitts: The Current Administration Was Put Into Place by the Bankers to Get the Control Grid Accomplished “– “It’s not technocracy. It’s slavery.” – Lioness of Judah
Choosing To Do The Right Thing – “While we cannot control what priority others place on something, we do choose the priority we ourselves place on that same thing. As with all our choices, we do well to choose our priorities wisely. Are we choosing to make a priority of whatever calling God has for us? Are we choosing to make a priority that which is in keeping with God’s Law? Most of all, are we choosing to make a priority of doing the right thing, whatever that right thing is? Are we clear in our own minds what that right thing is?” – Peter Nayland Kust
Trouble in MAHA Paradise? RFK and Trump Teams Allegedly at Odds Over Measles Response – “Progressive/corporate state media has been pimping hard of late an alleged intra-administration conflict over the official response to the “measles outbreak,” with the clear agenda of ginning up controversy and division within the MAGA/MAHA coalition.” – Ben Bartee

Climate engineering and climate chaos are inseparable, what will it take before populations wake up, look up and stand up to what is taking place in our skies?” – Dane Wigington

Beware the Taxman! – “There was a time when we didn’t have to ask permission from the government or pay taxes to: collect rain water, go fishing, own a property, start a business, renovate a home, build a home, drive a vehicle, get married, hunt, own a weapon, cut hair, sell a product, protest, grow your own food on your own property, set up a lemonade stand or sell food. Today, you can do virtually nothing without being extorted by the government and obtaining their permission first. Bottom line: if the average American citizen handled their money the way our federal government does, they’d be in prison. But it’s even worse than that. Imagine if the average American citizen handled someone else’s money the way our federal government handles our money. They’d be behind bars the rest of their lives. They’d never again see the light of day. But again: “Rules for thee, but not for me.” April 15 is coming, folks, and you’d better have your papers in order. If you don’t, Beware the Taxman.” – Rob Pue
The Disarray Around Trump—How to Stay Clear of It – “Even with all my criticism of Trump (he is so deserving), I have some hope he accomplishes his suggested halving of the defense budget. And he tends to say these things about things for which he has no constitutional mandate. So, which of the Trumps do we get? With Trump, there’s only 2: worst-case scenario you get the tyrant who knows what’s best for everyone. Best case scenario: the benevolent dictator. Either way, buy metals.” – neverhadaboss.com
FAFO, Donald, – “More government theft won’t MAGA. Liberation Day has come and gone. If Trump’s War on Foreign Goods (WOFG) is genius, we’ll take idiocy. It’s a stitched-together concatenation based on meretricious metrics, a Son of Smoot-Hawley that will ensure Trump a place in the presidential pantheon right next to Herbert Hoover. Like Hoover, Trump has a business background; like Hoover he never shuts up, and like Hoover he will preside over a disastrous tariff regime. The best that can be said of the tariffs is that they will hasten what was going to happen anyway. Trump wants to FA, he will FO. The WOFG will be his biggest mistake since Warp Speed,” – Robert Gore
Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Arrogance & Stupidity Efficiently Packaged – “Last week, the same US intelligence agencies that once swore Russia interfered with our elections and that Hunter Biden’s laptop did not exist reported to Congress that Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon. Why are they telling us the truth now? Because they are signaling that they are very much opposed to a US attack on Iran. This means that the Pentagon, the intelligence community, and Big Oil are all aligned against a war with Iran. I certainly don’t mean the Pentagon, the spooks, and Big Oil have suddenly turned pacifist. They have no objection to a new war, just not against a nation that is actually capable of defending itself.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY NEWS WRAP UP!!!
Trump Sets a Huge Tariff Sucker Trap for Taiwan and its Chip Industry – “Trump cares less about Taiwan than Ukraine.” – Mish
Will the West’s Paranoia of Russia Destroy the World? – “Do you remember the James Bond film in which a deranged Soviet General wanted to launch a nuclear war, or Dr. Strangelove, an American deranged general who wanted to do the same? Well, Dr. Strangelove is still with us, but he is no longer considered insane. In today’s Pentagon spreading nuclear weapons among allies who lack them in order to conduct an even larger nuclear war is just good war planning. ” – Paul Craig Roberts
Trump will make China great again – “In the end, then, the biggest victim of Trump’s attack on free trade will probably be America itself. This year, and possibly for several years to come, its economy will underperform compared to its recent rate, and the country will gradually lose influence over others as they diversify away from it. Meanwhile, the “exorbitant privilege” of the dollar’s status as a reserve currency may in time be lost, which will hurt the living standards of ordinary Americans. Unable to live off the world’s credit, they’ll need to cut their spending and pay higher prices. All told, this will probably accelerate the transition to a post-American age, particularly as other countries are already starting to regard China as a more predictable partner. ” – John Rapley
The Inevitable, Just Sooner – “People rush to throw our country under the bus the second someone shakes the precious, coddled economic snow globe they live in. Maybe President Trump’s tariffs will cause a prolonged trade war and a Great Depression in the United States the likes of which we’ve never seen before, sending the nation into a spiral of chaos and hell on earth. But walking around outside today, three days after the tariffs were announced and barely a day after many of the minimum tariffs went into effect, life seems oddly normal.” – Quoth the Raven
‘Free Marine Le Pen!’ — Trump slams European ‘lawfare’ tactics in fiery defense of French nationalist leader – “Donald Trump has defended Marine Le Pen in a social media post, condemning her prosecution as politically motivated “lawfare” and comparing it to his own legal battles” – Thomas Brooke
Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages – “Civil liberties groups say that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech using vague laws. Leicestershire police had the highest rate of arrests per 100,000 with 83. Cumbria police was second (58) and Northamptonshire police third (50).” – Charlie Parker, Yennah Smart and George Willoughby -AH, YES, FREE SPEECH IN THE U.K.!!!!!
Tulsi Gabbard Takes Aim at Censorship: Justice for the ‘Disinformation Dozen’ – “How Tulsi Gabbard’s commitment to transparency may unravel the most coordinated censorship campaign in American history. Hours ago, Tulsi Gabbard, newly appointed Director of National Intelligence under the Trump administration, publicly confirmed her intention to declassify the Biden administration’s classified domestic surveillance and censorship strategy — a document described by insiders as the “blueprint for silencing dissent.”” -Sayer Ji

72 Hours to Alarm: Orbán Suspects the EU Is Preparing for War – “Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has raised alarms over the EU’s new directive urging citizens to prepare 72-hour emergency kits, calling it a veiled signal that Brussels is preparing for war.” – Phil Butler
Are Trump’s Advisors Lying to Him About Iran?? – “Donald Trump’s advisors are withholding critical information that could dramatically impact his decision to launch preemptive air-strikes on Iran. Trump’s assumption –that the United States can inflict devastating damage on Iran without suffering significant losses itself– speaks to Trump’s ignorance about the breathtaking improvements in Iran’s state-of-the-art air-defense systems and hypersonic missiles.” – Mike Whitney

When Keynesians predict a disaster, start buying. – “I always get excited about a market correction when I read the Keynesian consensus predict a disaster.

Fascinating.” – Daniel Lacalle

SILVER: Extreme Volatility Is Setting Up an Opportunity – ” The chart above shows silver is still up 10% after its recent correction. Interestingly, silver miners and junior silver miners have doubled the metal’s return since the start of the year. I also think that silver did not rally to the same extent as gold in recent weeks due to its industrial component. Fears of global economic slowdown have weighed somewhat on the metal’s price. The concern is if/when we get a recession industrial demand for silver will soften. I think those fears are somewhat overblown and that demand would remain surprisingly robust thanks to solar, EV, and other green applications. Silver is down about 6% since the sweeping tariff announcement. To some extent, I believe silver was signaling a correction in gold over the past couple of weeks.” – Peter Krauth
