THE BIG PICTURE

Why Do We Have a Paper-Money System? – “I don’t get it. The Constitution clearly established a monetary system based on gold coins and silver coins. That was the American monetary system for more than 125 years. There has never been a constitutional amendment to convert that system to a paper-money system. Given such, why do we have a paper-money system? The answer lies in the presidential regime of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. Although the Depression had been brought about by the Federal Reserve, which had been established in 1913, Roosevelt blamed the Depression on America’s gold-coin/silver coin system that had been functioning for more than a century. Therefore, Roosevelt decided to convert America’s monetary system to a paper-money system. He ordered every American to deliver his gold coins to the federal government, on pain of a felony conviction for failing to do so. In exchange for their gold, Americans received government-issued paper money. Amazingly, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of what was obviously a flagrantly unconstitutional action.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

X Addendum – “It has been about two weeks now since I decided to stop playing Stalin’s Chicken with Elon Musk’s Algorithm over at “X” – whatever that is supposed to signify. (At least when it was Twitter it signified a chirping little birdie, nicely conveying the intellectual level of the joint.) I still post links to my articles and radio spots but I stopped posting comments/replying to things other people post because of the way the algorithm would intermittently prevent most people from seeing what I’d posted, a deliberate (as I view it) attempt to demoralize posters via essentially the same technique as randomly punishing a dog for no apparent reason that would make any sense to the dog. Of course, part of the reason for this is to get people to pay X a monthly fee that ends up amounting to hundreds of dollars if you kept on paying it for several years. ” – Eric Peters

CRIMINAL COVER-UP At the Highest Level? Cancer Study Linked to COVID Shots Vanished After Publication – “Professor Angus Dalgleish says vaccine-linked cancer data was suppressed to protect those responsible for a “serious crime.”” – Lioness of Judah

EPA confirms existence of GEOENGINEERING programs, validating long-held public concerns – “In a dramatic shift, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially acknowledged the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs – a revelation that confirms what skeptics and concerned citizens have alleged for decades.” – Ava Grace

Florida’s Health Chief Calls for mRNA ‘Vaccine’ Ban: ‘Should Not Be Used in Any Human Beings’ – Frank Bergman

Forget Climate Spending, Buy Air Conditioners Instead – “More than $1 trillion is spent every year to fight a climate crisis that doesn’t exist. That’s a load of money squandered without saving a single actual life. There’s a far better use for those dollars, if saving lives is the goal, one that’s much cheaper and easier to implement, and would make an enormous difference right away. Sadly, it requires mass purchases of a modest appliance the climate zealots have been trying to kill.” – I & I Editorial Board

Assumptions Can Make You Bankrupt—Or Make You Dead – “If you read my articles, you know I advocated for Trump over the left and I voted for him. But that was before I saw him come out, uncomprehending the reasons the world verges on armageddon, and identifying with the mission of the uni-party war machine. It’s a confusing time. This is a destabilizing chess-match being conducted by an administration that can’t play chess. The world sees it for what it it: a last gasp at empire by the US before facing economic and military bankruptcy” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

“The Network” in the Worlds of the Elites – “Baffled by President Trump’s Response to the Epstein “Client List”? I Think I Get It. I think that it is likely that multiple people who are critical to this administration’s success — my guess is, that these are mostly guys from the Silicon Valley community, who have been the ones to put the fuel of their billions and their technical and media support into President Trump’s campaign and administration’s engines — whether they are innocent or guilty, are in the Epstein files. (Remember why Mrs Gates broke up with Mr Gates?) And I think this nation’s most important scientists, innocent or guilty, are in the files. And my guess is that the funders have confronted President Trump.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

Has the Epstein blackmail racket finally turned on Trump? – “If you ever needed convincing that America was a parody democracy which is run by Israel, then look no further that the Epstein case which is rapidly becoming a huge hit on social media. It seems the more mainstream media in the U.S. refuses to investigate it, the more Trump appears to be desperate on camera when asked about it, the more it stinks, the more pundits on social media parade it for what it is: a scandal which could have devastating implications for Trump as he heads toward the midterms.” – Martin Jay

Release Ghislaine Maxwell – “Ghislaine has been convicted for being an accessory to Epstein’s sex-trafficking of underaged kids. But we now have it from President Trump and the Attorney General of the United States that there is no Epstein client list that provides proof that Epstein was engaged in sex-trafficking for “at least a decade” as the BBC claims. Did Epstein keep all his clients, dates, times, and partners in his head? If there is no client list and nothing in the Epstein file, how were Epstein and Ghislaine convicted? Where is the evidence? As officially there is no evidence, Ghislaine’s attorneys, unless they are bought off or threatened, should have her out of prison tomorrow.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Guess Who’s Behind WSJ’s Trump-Epstein ‘Bombshell’? It All Comes Together – Matt Margolis

Face It, MAGA: Donald Trump Lied To You! – “Six months into Trump’s term in office have proven that the similarities between Donald Trump and Joe Biden are much more than the differences between them. We all clearly remember Trump’s repeated campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours” after taking office. But what has Trump done? He has continued and is now expanding Ukraine’s (meaning America’s) stupid war. Trump justifies this betrayal of the American people who voted for him in typical Trump fashion by turning his betrayal into a business deal. “The European Union is paying for them [America’s Patriot missiles]. We are not paying anything for them… This will be a business for us,” So, money for the war profiteers justifies the escalation of the Ukraine war. The military/industrial complex (and its allies in Congress) will continue to rake in huge financial profits off the blood of the Ukrainian people.” – Chuck Baldwin

Elon’s New Political Party Will Fail – “Musk is fighting a long history of failed third parties. In American politics, third parties have always failed although they can affect outcomes between the main parties in the process.” – Jim Rickards

Just Six US House Members Vote Against Sending Israel Another Half Billion Dollars in Military Aid – “A vote just after midnight Friday morning in the US House of Representatives suggests that the government of Israel is at the top of the heap of special interests when it comes to being able to extract benefits from the US with very widespread support from American legislators. Just 1.4 percent of House members voted for Greene’s amendment. Here is the list of the six House members who voted in opposition to providing another half billion dollars in military aid to what is looking like the most successful special interest in America: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Rep. Al Green (D-TX) Rep. Summer Lee (D -PA) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)” – Adam Dick  – YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY. HOW MANY OF YOU VOTED FOR NETANYAHU IN THE LAST ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Declassified Info on Russiagate – “Gabbard describes the trove as proving “essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. President Barack Obama orchestrated the yes, coup, against the incoming president of the United States. “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate,” Gabbard wrote on X” – Julie Kelly

The Russia-Ukraine War Goes On and On – “Neocons and Weapons Makers Are Happy. Roughly three and a half years have passed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the war shows little sign of ending. President Trump has gone from boasting he could end the war in a day to following the policy of the Biden administration in providing weapons and aid to Ukraine.” – Bill Astore

Russia Will Target Multinational Forces in Ukraine – “Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova explained that any country that joins a coalition of the willing and deploys troops to Ukraine will become targets. “We have repeatedly stated that a deployment of armed forces of other countries in Ukraine under any pretense would be absolutely unacceptable,” she said. “We regard this as preparations for foreign military intervention. We will consider these so-called ‘multinational forces’ as legitimate military targets.”” – Kyle Anzalone

Will ‘Greater Syria’ and ‘Greater Israel’ Collide or Co-exist under the Al Qaeda Regime? – Vanessa Beeley and UK Column

New War Between Syria & Israel Plunges Syria Into Failed State, Like Libya – “The former leader of the fundamentalist-Sunni ISIS and al-Qaeda forces in Syria, al-Jolani (renamed al-Sharaa) has now suffered his first military defeat at the hands of the fundamentalist-Jewish Israeli Government, which is determined to keep parts of Syria and will now be free to take more of it.” – Eric Zuesse

The Fed Says…. GET READY! HERE IT COMES. Bond Market INFLATION Red Flare. (VIDEO ) – ” Nowhere in the United States Constitution is there a provision for corporate entities to create their own, this isn’t I don’t even want to say currency because it isn’t. The name stable coin, okay it’s not currency it’s not money, okay, it’s these stable coins are linked to the dollar or could be treasuries or whatever something to keep them stable, okay? Hence forth. But it’s not currency. You have to understand if it were labeled as currency, it would flat out be unconstitutional. There’s no provision, as I said, in the Constitution where President Trump just signed into law. None. It’s not currency. It’s not money. It’s stable coins. That’s the name. Now, you’re going to see Black Rockrock stable coins. You’re going to see JP Morgan stable coins. you’re going to see circle stable coins, whatever it might be. Um, these are not currency again. It’s these are just digital things created out of nothing.” – Gregory Mannarino

Fire the Fed, Raise Tariffs, and Hope for the Best- “President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent want lower interest rates so they can lower the financing costs of America’s massive debt. The net interest on the debt for fiscal year 2025 is on track to hit $1 trillion. Of course, a sensible way to lower interest rates would be to eliminate deficit spending. With a balanced budget, the Treasury would no longer have to issue new debt. It could merely finance the existing debt. Under this scenario the pool of Treasuries would no longer be expanding. Tariffs, and their associated effects, will touch just about every consumer good that people regularly buy and use.” – MN Gordon
