UN Shipping Tax to Fuel Global Tyranny – “A powerful but little-known UN agency is quietly plotting to impose global taxes on all international maritime shipping under the guise of fighting CO2 emissions and “climate change.” Americans are expected to pay the bulk of the financial costs. But all of humanity will bear the brunt of a radically empowered UN.  Historically, the UN’s inability to impose taxes has served as one of the most powerful restraints on its power. Once it has direct access to money without being forced to beg its member governments, it can fund “peace” armies, police, courts, bureaucracy, social-engineering, propaganda, and more essentially without limit.” – Alex Newman

President for Life – “Not quite three months into Trump’s second term and there is talk – some of it emanating from Trump himself – about a third term. What that talk is really saying is that Trump may be considering a presidency for life. The kind that Idi Amin, the “president” of Uganda had. Well, why not? The hideous truth is we already have a de facto Idi Amin presidency and it preceded the inauguration of Trump (both of them). The president has not been the thing described in the Constitution for hundreds of years, at least since the presidency of John Adams ” – Eric Peters

The enemy of US industry Looking inward. – “I’d like to offer three important perspectives on US manufacturing that are seemingly absent in these hyperbolic times as the jingo of trade war drums is intersecting with populist mythology on trade: the idea that “US manufacturing is gone/has hollowed out” is not factually correct. it simply changed and moved as evolving industries do. US industrial output was like a bird hitting a window in 2008 and has not grown since. this change was abrupt and broke a long term tend from the 1940’s to now and there has been no recovery from it. this was not a result of tariffs or foreign action: it was caused domestically with bad energy and labor policy, over support of unions, and horrible litigation risks and hurdles especially driven by the EPA and other federal agencies. So long as this issue remains unresolved (and it does), if the world moved to 100% free trade tomorrow with no country limiting US goods and the US limiting no goods from any nation, this would not drive an onshoring of industry to the US. it would drive more industry offshore because that’s how comparative advantage works” – El Gato Malo

There’s Nothing Free about ‘Free Trade’ – “How “free” can international trade be if its proponents depend upon a labyrinthine system of rules that requires thousand-page treaties and guidance from the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, central banks galore, the Bank for International Settlements, international standards organizations, law firms (and more)…” – J.B.

What’s This? Actual Application Of The Law? – “The Trump Administration has announced intent to actually apply the law for once. Which law? The law in 1996 that states that overstaying a visa, or otherwise remaining the US after being ordered removed, carries a civil fine of $998 per day of non-compliance, with a statue of limitations of five years (which is common to many offenses.) That’s a maximum (assuming five years) of $1,821,350 by the way, if you don’t have a calculator handy (365 x 5 x $998) Oh by the way, in case you forget, Bill Clinton was the one who signed that bill into law in 1996 so spare me any invective about how “mean” the GOP is. ” – Karl Denninger

It’s Time For Christian Zionists To Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is – “Since Israel broke the ceasefire agreement and resumed its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza almost a month ago, the IDF is deliberately and wantonly slaughtering over 100 precious, innocent little children every day. And there is barely a peep of protest by so-called Christians. And why should we expect anything different? Evangelical “Christians” have cheered for Israel’s mass murderous genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from the beginning—going all the way back to 1947. All over America, evangelicals—in public and private—justify this murderous carnage in Palestine on the outlandish and cultic belief that the Zionist State of Israel is a revived Old Testament Israel” – Chuck Baldwin

Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all? – “Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a US war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump’s war is singularly directed at the transformational global ‘changes they are driving together.'” – Pepe Escobar

Iran’s regime unlikely to back down as Trump plays with fire – “The real worry now for Iran, China and the rest of the world is that Trump’s second term in office is more isolationist.” – Martin Jay

Austin Metcalf and the Endless Race War – “Recently, a young Black male killed another young White male. This is hardly news, seeing as how every day, young Black males kill. It’s a ‘hood workout. The apparent motive in this case, was that the young Black male felt “disrespected.” In ghetto culture, you don’t accept “disrespect.” You have to respond, too often in a deadly way. Now why this story has become national news is puzzling. But they did report this one. Why? And the reaction has been predictable; uniform and irrational Black solidarity online. I’m sure Joy Reid and the shrews from The View will be chiming in soon. There is no other racial group that would attempt to justify cold blooded murder. You couldn’t find a single White person on earth defending this killer, if the races were reversed. This case is as cut and dry as can be. A knife to the heart for being asked to move from a restricted area? This is the problem we face, and have faced for a very long time. It’s why I have African American Fatigue Syndrome (AAFS). We have to pretend that Blacks don’t kill Whites and Asians far, far more often than the reverse. If any White person kills any Black person, you’ll know, because it will become front page news.” – Donald Jeffries

What we should be wondering about IRS head’s resignation – “I think that, by now, it’s pretty clear that the Trump administration has a set of priorities that focus on illegal immigration, international trade, and removing absolutely anything that falls under the category of waste, fraud, and abuse. Everyone knows this. It’s obvious. Which is why it’s hilarious to me that the acting head of the IRS quit because of an agreement to share data with immigration officials. I find it interesting how many people would rather be without a job than do as they’re instructed by the Trump administration. Then they can go on and pretend to be the victim because they couldn’t do what their boss told them to do. If I don’t do what my bosses tell me to do, I get fired. That goes for everyone else.” – Tom Knighton

He’s the guy W Bush wanted to be. Now Trump is that guy—make no doubt about it. Anybody not seeing Trump’s resemblance to American Revolution, King George, is not watching closely.

Liberation or Obliteration? – “President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars. Sadly, President Trump has adopted a tariff policy that will raise prices and abandoned his “America First” foreign policy in favor of a return to Bush-era neoconservatism. Despite criticizing President Biden for bombing Yemen, President Trump has authorized bombing that country under the false pretense that Yemen’s Houthis are threatening international shipping. President Trump has also threatened to bomb Iran. A false justification for this threat is that Iran is controlling the Houthis. If President Trump follows through on this threat against Iran, it could lead to another “forever war.” He has also continued US support for Israel and Ukraine’s wars. President Trump started a trade war by imposing a ten percent universal tariff on imported products and other tariff expansions.” – Ron Paul

Trump tariffs will impact his own grassroots supporters – “Trump 2.0 would appear to be a very different model than its predecessor. The tariffs tantrum appears to be born of frustration from his first term in office, both not pulling off many of his election promises and wanting to garner more respect around the world. He has certainly got the attention of world leaders as markets continue to tumble – in particular in Asia – and many of them he claims told him in phone calls that they “don’t blame him” for the move. And yet the case for the tariffs – that they will boost the U.S. economy – is hardly a clear-cut case. ” – Martin Jay

The Right to Bear Arms – “Countless Americans believe that they have the right to bear arms, so that they can protect themselves and their homes from burglars or other miscreants.

Whilst both of these concerns are reasonable, they’re not by any means the reason why the founding fathers were so adamant that the right to bear arms is critical.

It’s rather amazing to recall that Trump was once seen as an entertaining billionaire buffoon, a friend to the Clintons, among other liberal A-listers. Trumpwood, I’d argue, is a twisted and bizarre version of Hollywood, where the Oval Office is just a set to him, where the world is just a stage where he manifests all his hatred and trauma and egotism.” – Bill Astore

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.

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

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.

This means that the Pentagon, the intelligence community, and Big Oil are all aligned against a war with Iran.

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!!!

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.

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

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

Our World of Universal Deceit – “Everything you know is wrong. George Orwell wrote, “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” Our present era is certainly full of deceit, along with corruption, incompetence, and insanity.

The Capitulation of the West – “We have to stop worrying about consequences for demanding a Western society. The consequences are already here and living among us in every aspect of our lives for our lack of willingness to demand it. The West has been turned on its head; the leaders have singled out their native populations for elimination through either rape and slaughter or overwhelming odds. Whole Muslim cities are sprouting up in Texas denying the Constitution and challenging Texans for rule of the state. This has to stop and Texans, like the UK, the Irish and the French must come to grips with the purpose of their Western heritage, or lose it all together.” – T.L. Davis

A Powerful Government and a Weak Nation – “For many Americans, it is an article of faith that a vast and powerful federal government equals a great and strong nation.

Rumeysa Ozturk—who was wearing a hajib—is a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. She was abducted and vanished into the maw of the federal prison system. The Trump administration ignored a federal court order and took Ozturk from Massachusetts to Louisiana federal detention facilities. Rubio promised: “Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas.” Is criticizing a foreign government now considered proof of lunacy in the White House? Does the Trump administration consider op-eds to be a weapon of mass destruction? The First Amendment doesn’t specify that it only applies to people that the White House approves. ” – James Bovard

Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis!” the president wrote. “They will never sink our ships again!” Some were quick to suggest online that the people in the video were civilians participating in a tribal gathering, and posted photos of similar gatherings in Yemen in the past.” – RT

How Trump’s Tariff Tizzy Is Burning Down the House – “Circus ringmaster Trump’s Tariff Tizzy (TTT), christened by himself as “Liberation Day”, is being largely interpreted around the world – Global North and Global South alike – as Slaughterhouse Day. This de facto uncontrolled economic demolition gambit starts with the warped fantasy that launching a customs war on China is a bright idea.

Britain—Like France and Spain—Is Poorer than Mississippi – “The gap between US and European living standards has been noticeable for some time, and some European countries aren’t even keeping up with the poorest states in the United States. This has led to what some observers of international macroeconomics call the “Mississippi Question.” The question goes something like this: “is my country poorer than the poorest state in the United States?” The poorest state is presumably Mississippi, and if your country is worse off than Mississippi, that’s evidence that your country has nothing to brag about in terms of its standard of living. Is Britain poorer than Mississippi? Taking into account welfare benefits and taxes, the answer appears to be yes, and it’s yes for many other European countries as well.” – Ryan McMaken

THE BIG PICTURE

…and here comes the Online Safety Act – “The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force two weeks ago, and they have wasted no time using it. Alternative social media network Gab has already been threatened with a massive fine for its supposed failures to “police speech” on its platform. Anecdotes are piling up, small forums and communities blocking access from the UK for fear of attracting OfCom’s ire and the like. But rest assured, an OfCom spokesperson promised the Telegraph they would “only take action where it is proportionate and appropriate”. So that’s alright.” – Kit Knightly

World Population is Collapsing – “How to Fix it?What’s driving the crash is 3 things that changed the cost-benefit of kids: Kids don’t earn. They cost a lot thanks to inflation.  And government pensions mean don’t need kids when you’re old. So rather than kids helping on the farm — or in the family business — urbanization, union restrictions on teen employment, and the decline of small business left kids as pure cost. ” – Peter St Onge

Super Violent Weather and Cold – “Up to 4 months’ worth of rain may fall in less than a week across part of the central United States, threatening major flooding and endangering lives and property. A firehose of moisture is forecast to produce repeating thunderstorms with torrential downpours throughout the United States through much of this weekend. Antarctica is experiencing an intense and unseasonal cold snap at the end of March, with temperatures plummeting to record-setting lows at Concordia Station. Why do most extreme heat records date back to the early 20th century or the 1800s? It’s also worth asking whether heavily adjusted, smoothed, and modelled trends are easier to ‘influence’ than raw thermometer readings. Trends can be shaped by averaging methods, data station selection, or baseline shifts. All-time records, on the other hand, are stubborn facts ” – Dr. Sircus – SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE GEOENGINEERING GOING ON WITH THE RAINS RATHER THAN GLOBAL WARMING. THAT WOULD BE THE REAL INCONVENIENT TRUTH!!!

The morbidity and mortality of these people who took two shots and a booster is extremely high. . . . I think everybody should be treated, unvaxed or vaxed. You should be treated everyday until we come out with an adequate cure to prevent the mRNA, which is pumping out the spike protein. People who did not get the CV19 injections can still get sick from the people who did get the injections. It’s called “shedding.” Dr. Eads says,” – Greg Hunter

You Wouldn’t Want to Be Him on That Dreadful Day – “Do you see the pattern? Populist party leaders all over Western Civ getting undone by the law courts — Călin Georgescu in Romania, election cancelled; Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, de-railed by President Lula’s stooge judges (with CIA help); Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia shot-up with five bullets in May last year (survived miraculously); the Alternative-for-Deutschland Party de-platformed by the Scholz-Merz ruling junta; then, this week, Marine Le Pen, leading candidate (by far) for President of France, defenestrated on Mickey Mouse charges in the Paris court. And, of course, since 2015, Mr. Trump, hounded relentlessly, but not yet overthrown, due to sheer pluck and testosterone (the official hated hormone of the Left). International lawfare is about the last remaining tool in the “Globalist” kit-bag for “color revolution,” which means regime change by underhanded means, election interference being the favorite device” – James Howard Kunstler

The Globalist Authoritarians Are Playing With Fire – “What happened with Marine Le Pen, the most popular politician in France who was just banned from standing for election on the flimsiest of pretenses, is no exception. It’s becoming the rule around the West and in other places, too, where being outside the mainstream of authorized establishment left-leaning globalist politics has become criminalized.” – Kurt Schlichter

Trump’s greatest betrayal so far: Accelerating Middle East wars, silencing dissent, and serving Zionist masters – “Donald Trump, supposedly the “peace president,” was elected on promises of ending “stupid wars.” However, he has instead escalated U.S. military aggression in the Middle East – turning his back on his campaign promise. Trump’s administration is actively suppressing free speech, deporting protesters, and aligning with Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Evangelical support for Trump remains unwavering, blinded by Zionist eschatology that justifies any atrocity in the name of biblical prophecy.” – Lance D Johnson

Trump’s “Liberation Day”: Another PR Gag, or Global Reorientation Turning Point? – “Experts the world over are now butting heads over what this epochal ‘reciprocal tariffs’ package will mean for the world economy. Firstly, it must be said that the misnomered program is apparently not one of ‘reciprocal’ tariffs at all, but rather tariffs doing the job of balancing ‘unequal’ trade deficits between the US and other countries. As most know by now, Trump’s team apparently used a simple equation for determining the tariff rate: Not surprisingly there was an early bloodbath in the markets, with the US dollar dramatically falling against major currencies:” – Simplicius

Trump’s Absurd Trade Policies Will Impoverish Americans and Harm the World – “Trump blames the rest of the world for America’s deficit, but that’s absurd. It is America that is spending more than it earns. ” – Jeffrey D. Sachs

Tariffs and Federal Reserve (VIDEO) – “Dennis Kucinich smacks a grand slam home run right here. Dennis points out that The amount of revenue promised by the Tariffs just happens to cover the cost of making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, 4/5th of which goes to people making over $450K a year. An attack on Iran would skyrocket the price of oil. We would be looking at $7 to $10 gasoline overnight. The immediate effects of the Tariffs will hurt the poorest the mostest, lower consumer spending, and maybe throw the US into a recession. The Federal Reserve was created to allow the banks to control our money supply.” – Ohio Barbarian  – GOOD ONE AND A VARYING VIEW WITH GOOD POINTS FROM THE RAVEN BELOW!!!!

Your Discomfort Means It’s Working – “This tariff sea change reverses the gears of a machine that has been in motion for decades. It has been one whole day since President Trump implemented his tariff agenda. With the amount of squirming and outright panic in the news media, markets, and on social media, you’d think we were 50 years into a 100-year bout of famine, plague, depression, and pestilence. Let’s all just gather our heads for a second. The direction the country was heading in monetarily and fiscally was simply unsustainable. Deficits too big. Debt skyrocketing against GDP. Wealth gap accelerating. Drug and alcohol addiction ravaging cities. We were walking a path that decimated the lives and the purchasing power of the people who need it most and took American jobs away from people who needed them the most. Worse off, it made the United States dependent on adversaries like China to simply go about our day-to-day” – Quoth the Raven

Trump fires three neocon warmongers from his White House National Security Council staff – “What I don’t understand is why Trump would care. He loaded up his first administration with neocons, and he placed several in key positions in his second term, like Marco Rubio and Waltz. He even employed the king of neoconservatism, John Bolton, for a time in his first administration. Suddenly, we are supposed to believe Trump is listening to someone like Laura Loomer and embarking on a purge of neocons from his administration? It’s hard for me to believe Trump did not know that Waltz, Rubio, Feith and the others were neocons” – Leo Hohmann

WATCH: Biden Disinfo Czar/Dystopian Mary Poppins Re-Emerges For Horrific Congressional Testimony – “The self-professed “Mary Poppins of disinformation,” Nina Jankowicz, emerged from whatever troll-cave she’s been living (and, unfortunately, breeding) in to testify to Congress, the occasion of which she took to inform the People with much self-assuredness that “the so-called censorship-industrial is a fiction.” It’s one thing to promote the subversion of the most fundamental Constitutional right in Congress — advocacy which ironically itself falls under free speech protections; it’s quite another to literally head a governmental agency that actively silences dissident purveyors of “disinformation” (a nebulous term defined arbitrarily by the Mary Poppins bitch). The former is, again, protected speech; the latter is treason, which is punishable by death.” – Ben Bartee

This is not a pathway toward a good society – “Leftists have ideas on what society should be. In fairness, everyone has ideas. The left will tell you that their idea is one based on tolerance, peace, and love—or something along those lines. Without any doubt in the world, though, they’ll paint you a picture of a society that sounds pretty good if you don’t think too much about it. Unfortunately for them, their actions aren’t remotely consistent with this. Why? Because they think so many evil things are just if you only do them to the right people.” – Tom Knighton

Genocide Tourism in Israel (VIDEO) – “An Israeli Zionist organization has sparked outrage by organizing controversial boat tours, dubbed “Genocide Tourism,” that allow participants to witness bombings in Gaza from a distance. Critics have condemned this initiative as an inhumane spectacle that promotes territorial expansionism, particularly the idea of “Greater Israel.”” – Makia Freeman

Matt Taibbi Files $10 Million Libel Suit Against Dem Rep. For Accusing Him Of ‘Serial Sexual Harassment’ – “Journalist Matt Taibbi is suing Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove for libel, after the California Democrat claimed during her opening remarks in a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday that he’s a “serial sexual harasser.” While Taibbi wouldn’t have been able to sue due to lawmaker protections under the Speech and Debate clause of the constitution, Kamlager-Dove was stupid enough to then post those claims on social media; both on X and Blue Sky. As Taibbi directly notes to Kamlager-Dove via Racket News, “Rep. Kamlager-Dove, no woman has ever accused me of engaging in sexual harrassment once, let alone serially. See you in court. Please do not evade service.” ” – Tyler Durden  – $10 MILLION SEEMS LIKE A GOOD STARTING POINT. ONE HAS TO WONDER IF ANY ELECTED DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA HAS ANY BRAIN CELLS.

After Ukraine and NATO Are Spun Off, Who’s Next? – “Congress cheers the smooth diversion of defense profiteering from Afghanistan to Ukraine, and now from Ukraine to Gaza, Yemen, and Iran. Sun Tzu may not have said “follow the money,” but he did say “there is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.” Government media like the Times can see this in Ukraine, but refuses to acknowledge how 70 years of non-stop conflict, war and proxy war has destroyed the Constitution and impoverished the United States.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

No List of Supplies Can Prepare You for the Fluidity of the SHTF – “You can easily get done some preps in terms of what stuff you need and how much of it, what is really important and whatnot. But prepping in its essence should not be the simple hoarding of items. It should not be because it might easily lead you into paranoia, and another important reason is that most of us do not have means to store everything that we might need for a longer period of time. You have to expect the fluidity of the situation” – Selco

THE BIG PICTURE

How Globalists Use Crazed Leftists To Piss Off The Populace And Provoke Dictatorship – “There is nothing more dangerous than an incomplete picture of history. A hundred years from now, if the powers-that-be have their way, the few children still allowed to be born (due to carbon controls) will be regaled with school lessons about the “Dark Ages of Nationalism” – When humanity was divided into warring states and divided societies that refused to embrace multiculturalism “to the detriment of all”. They will say that a “great movement” for globalism and wokeness arose and that the courageous revolutionaries fought evil conservative fascists using any means necessary. The political left will be painted as heroes fighting, not for freedom, but for equity and the “greater good”. Western culture, Christianity, meritocracy, moral objectivity, personal liberty and appeals to reason will be demonized as relics of the old world – Monstrous constructs that prevented civilization from attaining true “oneness”.” – Brandon Smith

The War Power – “The thing about abuse is you get used to it. Eventually, it becomes normal – having been normalized. For instance, this business of the president starting wars. Just deciding it’s time to lob bombs on other countries. This is not the president’s constitutional prerogative, which is the relevant point. But presidents have gotten way with starting wars for generations, from FDR to the present one. The Korean War was never declared – by Congress. Nor the Vietnam War. Nor the War on Trrrrrr declared by The Chimp. The war the latter began in Afghanistan lasted almost 20 years. Now America is at war with Yemen – and perhaps soon Iran – because President Trump so decided. Once again, it is important to return to the point that it is beside the point whether going to war with Yemen – and potentially, Iran – is a good or a terrible idea.” – Eric Peters

The United States of Tyranny: America Is Becoming a Constitution-Free Zone – “It’s no joke: America is becoming a Constitution-free zone. Little by little, our rights are being whittled down in the name of national security. Where do you draw the line? How much tyranny will Americans tolerate in the name of national security? At what point does this slippery slope of power grabs lead to dictatorship?” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Anglo-American Incubation of Hitler & the Nazis – Part 1 (VIDEO) – “Hitler and the Nazis were a product of deliberate Anglo-American policy. Hitler was a misguided man who was spotted, funded and essentially put into position to play a role, seemingly unaware until the end of WW2 how he was set up by the British.” – Makia Freeman  – VERY GOOD VIDEO FROM MAKIA. NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS IN THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!

Ontario Measles Outbreak More Than Doubles in Three Weeks After Federal and Local Gov’t Vaccine Push – “Largest measles outbreak in 30 years.” – Jon Fleetwood

COVID-19 Vaccine Chief Laughs at Boosters Being ‘Zero Percent Effective’ in Preventing Transmission – “Dr. Peter Marks oversees the FDA division responsible for the blood supply, gene therapies, and vaccines. He was the visionary (and apparent tyrant) behind the emergency use authorization and eventual approval of the Operation Warp Speed COVID-19 mRNA injections. Dr. Peter Marks was abruptly terminated on March 28, 2025.” – Karen Kingston

1-Year-Old Baby Dies Suddenly of Cardiac Arrest After Receiving 12 ‘Vaccines’ at Once – “The shots included: “DTap/Hep B/IPV (Pediarix), HiB/Acthib/Hiberix, Pneumococcal 20-valent Conj vaccine, Varicella (known commonly as Chickenpox), MMR, and Hepatitis A.” She also received sodium fluoride as a teeth treatment.” – Frank Bergman  – SHE WAS BEHIND ON HER SO-CALLED NEEDED SHOTS, SO DOUBLE SOME OF THEM UP AND TOP OFF THE COCKTAIL WITH A LITTLE FLUORIDE FOR DESSERT!!!!!!!!!!

The Legal and Constitutional Basis for Health Sovereignty: A Framework for Local, National, and Global Protection – “As unelected global authorities assert sweeping power over individual health decisions, a quiet revolution is emerging—one rooted not in resistance alone, but in law, precedent, and principle.” – Sayer Ji

Prophets, Nomads, And A Fourth Turning Accelerating Towards A Bloody Climax – “The previous two Fourth Turning presidents, during the Great Depression/World War II Fourth Turning and the Civil War Fourth Turning, acted like dictators, wielding their authoritarian powers, using war as the excuse for overstepping their Constitutionally granted authority. Ruling by executive order has now become commonplace, as our Republic has degenerated into a corporate fascist totalitarian state where the spoils have been shared by the privileged few, while the rest of us have been propagandized into subjugation, depravity, debt, and debasement. Trump has assumed a dictatorial attitude, with the rationale that he must do so to defeat the evil forces of the Deep State, and more than 50% of the population is enthusiastically onboard. There is generally no middle ground when it comes to Donald Trump. You either despise him and scream he is literally Hitler, or you worship him as the savior of America, leading us to a glorious renaissance. Personally, I find myself in the middle ground, based on what he has done, rather than what he says.” – Jim Quinn  – JIM ONLY WRITES AN ARTICLE ABOUT EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTHS BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS WORTH READING!!!

Essential Violence – “In 19th century America, it was popular to argue that there are four boxes for maintaining political liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge. There is also a version that has just three boxes, which drops the jury box from the model. The soap box is public speech used to persuade the ruling class. The ballot box is the democratic process. The jury box is the legal process, and the cartridge box is violence. The order of the boxes is important as it is both a warning and a promise. The assassination of Trump is a good reminder that it is almost always the case that once either side of the political system reaches the jury box, one side or the other will reach for the cartridge box. ” – The Z Man

The public way underestimate how much ‘their’ Government lies. – “In America, lying by the Government is routine, because the Government represents not the public but only the wealthiest billionaires, who provide most of the money that funds political campaigns.” – Eric Zuesse

Beyond Which, Is Open Rebellion – “It’s one thing to have a right; it’s another to have it recognized in court. This can go any number of ways. I hold all of my God-given rights precious. I’m very sensitive when anyone wants to violate them. I also recognize that being right doesn’t mean being free. One can be 100% right about their innocence and still be in prison. The same goes for asserting rights. I have the unequivocal right to self-defense using whatever tool I might have at hand. That doesn’t mean that the police will respect that, or the District Attorney, or the judge.” – T.L. Davis

FBI Weaponizes Background Checks To Enforce California Gun Ban – “When you go to a gun store to buy a new gun, you can expect a few things to happen.  First, some paperwork. Second, you can expect to have to pass a background check before leaving with your gun. And third, you can expect that the gun store will keep a record of your purchase for as long as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) requires. After all, that is how the government traces crime guns back to their original purchasers. But what you might not expect is an FBI agent receiving a ping that you – yes, you – just successfully bought a gun.” – Gun Owners of America,

How Many Millions Of People Are Fraudulently Receiving Social Security Checks, And Why Is The Left Throwing A Massive Temper Tantrum About Revelations Of Fraud? – Michael Snyder

It’s Official: Ukraine Conflict is British ‘Proxy War’ – “On March 29th, the New York Times published a landmark investigation exposing how the US was “woven” into Ukraine’s battle with Russia “far more intimately and broadly than previously understood,” with Washington almost invariably serving as “the backbone of Ukrainian military operations.” Yet, the investigation’s most striking passages highlight London’s principal role in influencing and managing Ukrainian – and by extension US – actions and strategy in the conflict. Both direct references and unambiguous insinuations littered throughout point ineluctably to the conclusion that the “proxy war” is of British concoction and design.” – Kit Klarenberg

50 Senators from both parties line up behind a bill that would ‘punish’ Russia for not agreeing to peace deal with Ukraine – “25 Republican neocons and 25 Democrat neolibs join hands to sponsor bill that would impose whopping 500 percent tariff on any country purchasing Russian oil, gas or uranium. WWIII hangs in the balance. Half of the U.S. Senate — 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats — joined together on Tuesday, April 1, in a rare show of bipartisanship. What brought them together? They are eager to further poke the bear, the nation of Russia, the owner of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.” – Leo Hohmann – MORE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

China, #1 Enemy of the Day – “How else to justify trillion-dollar war budgets?” – Bill Astore

Whiplash Effect as “Pissed Off” Trump Flips Again – “Trump seesawed again with an alleged rant to NBC about how “pissed off” he was at Putin for not hopping to the US’ undercooked ceasefire offers. The problem for Trump seems two-fold: On one hand he appears to be legitimately frustrated by his inability to end the war rapidly due to internal pressures pushing him toward facing the emergent Iranian threat, as well as the long-overdue grand pivot to China.” – Simplicius

The Labor Death Of Ten Thousand Cuts – “The Jobs Recession Has Not Improved. The number of job openings was little changed at 7.6 million in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the month, hires and total separations held at 5.4 million and 5.3 million, respectively. Within separations, quits (3.2 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.8 million) changed little. Someone needs to send Elon Musk and the boys from DOGE over to the Bureau of Labor Statistics to see which AI Chatbot afflicted with model rot is writing their report summaries. “Little changed” and “changed little” have been the summation of the JOLTS report for a number of months now. Surely by now something would have changed.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Swap U.S. Gold Reserves for Bitcoin… Seriously? – “Washington D.C. is still a prime breeding ground for bad ideas. One of the dumbest, and more dangerous, is the idea of swapping U.S. gold reserves for Bitcoin. In fairness, we should first mention we are encouraged by the growing acceptance by a handful of policymakers of alternative, non-government forms of currency.” – Clint Siegner

The Fed’s April Fool’s: Pretending to Control Inflation – “This year’s April Fools joke from the Federal Reserve is the same this year as every other: Pretending that a small group of unelected academics can micromanage the economy to create an ideal balance between employment, inflation, and cost of borrowing. The Fed wants to control the economy, but all it achieves is distortion.” – Peter Schiff

As Life Happens, “Locked-in” Homeowners Pay Off Below-4% Mortgages: Share Drops to 54%, Lowest since Q4 2020 – “Conversely, the share of 6%-plus mortgages outstanding surges to the highest since 2016.” – Wolf Richter

Who Owns the Gold? – “In 1933, people thought the world was ending and urged government to do whatever it could to relieve the pain of the Depression. In compliance thereof, FDR issued Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933 “forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States.” Note the word, “hoarding”—a word with a negative tinge, suggesting the person hoarding is deliberately restricting supply for personal advantage. Hoarders of gold, which was synonymous with owners of gold, were allegedly causing harm, therefore, hoarding had to stop. What harm did hoarding cause? It was preventing government inflation of the money supply. Inflation would cause prices to rise, which the government thought was a good thing, especially in the current deflationary environment. FDR commanded Americans to deliver their gold “to a Federal Reserve Bank or a branch or agency thereof or to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System”. Fiat Money Frees the Printing Press With the people’s gold stolen and locked up in Fort Knox, what became of the money Americans used? Today, the fiat Federal Reserve note is worth about three percent of its value in 1913, while gold—if you own some you might want to hang onto it—has maintained its value.” – George Ford Smith

Why Preppers Should Be Seriously Concerned About a Cashless Society – “CBDCs Are a Prepping Red Flag Once cash is gone, so is your financial privacy. Every transaction tracked. Every purchase logged. Your economic identity, habits, affiliations, even your prepping activities—exposed to anyone with access to your digital footprint. For the prepping and off-grid community, this is not a hypothetical scenario. This is the kind of centralized control grid we prepare against. And yet, the system is being built—not with jackboots—but with convenience and apathy.” – Off Grid Survival

The Roman Legionnaires’ Survival Strategy – “Roman soldiers trained hard, so that they could live up to the saying “Their drills are like bloodless battles and their battles are like bloody drills.” Training prepares soldiers for combat, by making their actions and responses to their enemies almost automatic. By repeating the necessary actions over and over again, the soldier responds when needed, without having to stop and think. This makes them more effective in combat, saving lives and winning victories. The same can be said for our survival training. Training isn’t about just testing out a piece of equipment, using it once to make sure it works, it’s about using it over and over again, to the point where you can use it just as well in the dark, in the middle of a storm, as you can use it sitting on your back patio.” – Bill White

Is Your Perspective in Preparedness Putting You at Risk? – “Just as driving with sunglasses at night can cause you to miss seeing a hazard in the road, so too can always wearing rose-colored glasses about your opinions and views of the world. In other words, our comfort can blind us to vulnerabilities when everything seems aligned with our beliefs and preferences. This happens after every flip in political power.” – Brian Duff
