THE BIG PICTURE

Memorial Day: It’s Not About the Dead Soldiers but About Glorifying War – “Although Memorial Day in the United Sates is ostensibly a day for honoring soldiers killed in wars, it is, rather, a day for promoting war. If it were to honor the dead, all its pageantry would be in opposition to war. Rather than being haunted by the ghosts of war, many Americans are very proud of all its soldiers killed while killing foreigners for the military industrial complex and the super-rich who own the country. For the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic overseas wars for a long, long time, and using its soldiers as cannon fodder.” – Edward Curtin  – WELL SAID!!!!!!!!

This Memorial Day, Let Us Remember – “There is a huge difference between “playing soldier” and being one. There is a huge difference between those who see war as a “game” and those who know war means death. These memories always jangle around in my head near Memorial Day. Why? Because those who died while serving in the Armed Forces are never around to debate the next war, while those who merely “studied war” tend to become only more opinionated with time. There’s an undeniable unfairness about that. Those who know most about the cost of war are forever silenced from teaching the next generation.” – J.B. Shurk

AI 2027: Racing to Apocalypse – “… AI releases a bioweapon, killing all humans.There’s a document floating around the collapse community, the kind that gets whispered about in Signal threads and reposted on the socials between apocalyptic climate charts and doom porn. It’s called AI 2027. On its surface, it reads like a speculative scenario. But within minutes, you realize: this isn’t fiction. This is a bloodless autopsy of our collective future, written while the patient is still alive. ” – Sarah Connor – THE FUTURE WITH AI IS “BREAKING BAD”!!!

Dr. Vinay Prasad, The New FDA Vaccine Chief Is Against mRNA – “Dr. Prasad, a hematologist-oncologist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, has been an outspoken critic of several aspects of the U.S. public health response to COVID-19.He has questioned the efficacy of certain pharmaceutical approvals, criticized mask mandates, and expressed skepticism about the accelerated approval of COVID-19 vaccine boosters, especially for younger populations. Prasad’s appointment suggests a potential reevaluation of the FDA’s current practices, particularly concerning approving and monitoring vaccines and biologics.” – Dr. Sircus  – TIME WILL TELL IF PRASAD IS THE REAL DEAL OR JUST ANOTHER SHILL FOR “BIG PHARMA”!!

Banksters Want Us Lined-Up For The Next Available Teller – “Human history, at least for the last few thousand years, tells the same story. The people of a nation, at great cost of blood, find some freedom, as did the United States. But, lurking in the background are the banksters, knowing, that in the end—they will prevail. Trump, an instinctual but not a learned man, understands this. He might even understand that Putin/Xi have taken steps to assured that monied interests (oligarchs), do not return to power. It’s easier for them. They warn oligarchs of the limitations—or else. Trump’s unenviable position requires he distance himself from oligarchs, while he identifies with oligarchs. Were he to opt for Americans over oligarchs, his own advisors, Congress, and oligarchs would seek his demise. Cross-purpose is the order of the day.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The War on Us – “It’s pretty universally acknowledged that America’s recent wars — say, starting with Vietnam — have been stupid, pointless, and fake in instigation. And yet the soldiers we sent into these fiascos acted bravely and honorably for the most part. So, it has felt a little weird to celebrate their sacrifices minus any sense of political justice, victory, or meaning in the endeavors they sacrificed for. Ergo, the holiday is lately reduced to a celebration of grilled meat. This Memorial Day, for a change, the USA is not actively at war in some distant land, only against ourselves. One faction in this as yet cold civil war seeks to Make America Great Again (MAGA), and the other side seeks what. . . ? To do the opposite of that? Make America Disintegrate (MAD). It’s hard to come to another conclusion.” – James Howard Kunstler

More Trumpian Tariff Hallucinosis – “Well, we don’t know how else to explain the Donald’s early Friday AM eruption on social media. He was apparently pissed off because his “art of the deal” posturing on trade has not produced the results he was delusionally expecting. In response to the huge China tariffs, Apple has been frantically moving its production not back to the US of A as Trump has promised, but to India and Vietnam. So he took Tim Cook, Apple Inc’s CEO, to the woodshed, threatening a 25% tariff on Apple products brought into the US:Likewise, the potential massive “reciprocal tariff” on the EU-27 has not brought EU officialdom crawling to Washington on their collective bellies, chanting “Sir, how can we throw our powerful trade associations and unions under the bus to avoid your tariff wrath?” In fact, recent press reports from a wide range of sources indicate the the talks with Europe have produced virtually no progress. So the Donald let loose on Truth Social: ” – David Stockman

Take the Deal, President Trump – “Deal-making is said to be President Trump’s specialty, yet after five rounds of indirect talks with Iran – most recently just days ago – we seem as far away from an agreement as ever. The fifth round ended last Friday with no breakthrough, but at least no breakdown. However, each day that passes without a document signed on the table is another day for the neocons to maneuver the US president toward an attack on Iran.” – Ron Paul

Jeffrey Epstein Exploited the U.S. Virgin Islands for a Reason – “I had to pay a student to go island hopping to find basic records in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The territory’s opaque laws and corruption makes it a haven for misdeeds.” – Lee Fang

How Russia Quietly Revolutionised Warfare – “No other weapon type has changed the face of the war here so much or so fast as the FPV drone. Almost any vehicle within five kilometres of the front is as good as finished. Anything moving out to ten kilometres is in danger. Drone strikes at 15 or 20 km are not that unusual.” – Kit Klarenberg

Zelensky’s Illegitimacy Might Still Not Preclude Him From Signing Any Peace Documents – “The fact that Peskov confirmed that Putin could hypothetically meet with Zelensky under certain conditions is proof of the Russian leader’s pragmatic desire to end the conflict if the right terms are reached instead of continuing it as an explicitly declared regime change campaign.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Student Loan Delinquencies Surge, How Will that Impact the Economy? – “The delinquency rate jumped from 0.7% in the 4th quarter to 8% in the 1st quarter. Millions of Americans had their student-loan payments put on pause during the pandemic. Now they are back on the hook again. For borrowers, this means that every month, money that they presumably used to spend elsewhere is going to pay off debt instead. Many who aren’t paying are now considered delinquent or defaulted, a status that sinks credit scores” – Mish  – ALL THESE KIDS WITH WORTHLESS DEGREES GOT USED TO SPENDING THE MONEY ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT OLD  “BRAIN-DEAD JOE” WAS GOING TO LET THEM OFF THE HOOK, OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe It or Not, Gold is Still Out of Favor – “But that might be changing. After the past year’s epic run, you’d think gold would have displaced at least some other assets in mainstream investors’ portfolios. But apparently not. These two charts have been making the rounds on X, showing that during the previous decade’s gold bull market, gold-related ETFs saw their share of “implied allocations” rise dramatically. But that hasn’t yet happened in the current bull market,” – John Rubino
