THE BIG PICTURE

The Deadly Illusion of Limited Nuclear Strike in Mid-East – “The nuclear option is on the table, and the implications are terrifying.” – Sarah Connor

It’s Time to Talk about Jeffrey Epstein’s Death – “Can we really brush aside newly published records showing that one of Epstein’s guards, who made a dozen large bank deposits before his death, Googled him twice minutes before he died?” – Jon Miltimore

4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how. -Jacob Shamsian

Roundup: The chemical poisoning of America has been wiped from the headlines – “Here today, gone tomorrow. That’s the news cycle. “Oh that’s right, we’re being poisoned for NATIONAL SECURITY. I forgot…” Trump’s Executive Order made that clear. No question about it. We have to submit to poisoning because our NATIONAL DEFENSE is at stake. That was worth two days of press coverage. But magically, after that, it was no longer an issue. As if we’d been liberated from the poison.” – Jon Rappoport

UK Gov’t launches Digital ID “consultation” – “The technology is all built, the app designed, the services locked in. What they’re waiting for is the brief process of normalisation to elapse so that not too many people complain. And complain we should, because a cursory reading of the full consultation is a little alarming.” – Kit Knightly

UK To Trial New Bird Flu Vaccine For Farms Following Pandemic Simulations, While US Advances Self-Replicating mRNA Shot As Euthanasians Continue – “The start of new vaccine trials are a significant step forward in our fight against this disease and will contribute to global research efforts.” – The WinePress

Corn: A nutritious staple or hidden health risk? – “Corn has been a dietary cornerstone for millennia. Today, it appears in countless forms, such as grilled street corn, creamy chowders, crispy tortillas and as a hidden ingredient in processed foods. But as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) dominate agricultural production, concerns about corn’s health impact have grown. Is corn truly nutritious, or do modern cultivation methods pose hidden risks?” – Evangelyn Rodriguez 

Organic Food in Grave Danger from Gene-Edited Crops in EU – Consumer Groups – “It is hard to understand why the EU is turning its back on organic food production, after decades of consistent support under the Common Agricultural policy. In the past decade, European consumers have spent between €50 and €55 billion annually on organic food products, a testimony to their success and appreciation. The new legislation can damage this forever,” – Sustainable Pulse

The Madness of King Trump: War Games, War Crimes and a Wrecking Ball Presidency – “Dysfunction, decadence, depravity and a death cult: that, in a nutshell, sums up the mindset now at the heart of the Trump administration. History shows that when political movements glorify violence, celebrate cruelty, and frame conflict in apocalyptic moral terms, they often drift toward what scholars describe as a “death cult”—a worldview in which destruction becomes proof of righteousness and human life becomes expendable in pursuit of ideological victory.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Iran and the Senile Delusions of President Donald Trump – “The political process in the United States is firmly on a trajectory leading to economic and social self-destruction, but not before it destroys others at the behest of an ethnosupremacist settler colony in Palestine contemptuous of international law and morality.” – Kurt Nimmo

The Newly Appointed Ayatollah Clothed In The Armour Of The Crusades – “FEW people comprehend that when the Israeli/US military assassinated the Ayatollah, this was not just an ordinary assassination of a political leader, Khamenei was Iran’s religious leader murdered by a Secular Nation. Akin to the Pope. Nor do people understand there are over 100,000 Christians in both Lebanon and Iran being targeted. Yesterday, Israel targeted and bombed two Priests.” – Helena Glass

Mining for Truth in the Smog of War – “Iran rejects all of Trump’s overtures about the war coming to a quick close by immediately doing the opposite of his demands and telling him where to shove his ceasefire. Whether Trump was just trying to charm markets yesterday or was thinking he would play some 4D-chess to tempt Iran to surrender now, Iran isn’t having any of it.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: One Unfolding Disaster After Another – “Our Mad Emperor told the Times of Israel that the US and Israel have “destroyed” Iran, but the war will continue until he and Netanyahu decide to end it, which means when Netanyahu decides to end it. Of course, Trump also told American media that Iran bombed its own girls’ elementary school because their aim was bad, and then admitted he’d made that up. ” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP!!!!

Lindsey Graham Threatens Gulf States With ‘Consequences’ if They Don’t Join the War Effort – “(Barely) closeted power-bottom Lindsey Graham, who has suffered since adolescence from repressed homosexual urges that manifest in warped wargasms whenever he voyeuristically consumes scenes of state violence*, recently took to X to issue threats on behalf of the administration to Gulf States for their apparently insufficient enthusiasm for the war on Iran, warning of “consequences” if they don’t get on board.” – Ben Bartee

The Strait Is Closed: How Trump’s Strike on Iran Triggered a Global Energy Crisis – “The world entered a new era of energy insecurity not with a treaty or a market crash but with a single ill-conceived military decision.” – Phil Butler

China: Watching the missiles flow – “The blockade of Hormuz may break the West. But it won’t break China.Let’s cut to the chase: BRICS is in deep coma. Blown up, at least temporarily, by India – which happens to host the BRICS summit later this year. Talk about horrendous timing. India has betrayed, sequentially, both full BRICS members Russia and Iran. By sealing its alignment with the Epstein Syndicate, New Delhi has proved, without the shadow of a doubt, not only that it’s untrustworthy: more than that, its whole lofty rhetoric of “leading the Global South” has collapsed – for good.” – Pepe Escobar

Rubio & Vance Are A Masterful Good Cop, Bad Cop Duo Vis-à-vis The EU – Andrew Korybko

Trump Declares Iran War Over – “There’s a lot of confusion over whether Donald Trump’s statement that “the war is very complete” signals an end to the war in Iran. The reason why is obvious: the attacks persist, with the U.S. military pinballing between the ever-changing objectives of the day, the hour, the moment. For a winning-obsessed president, the modern military offers a game that never ends, that can be won again and again and again. If you eliminate the ruler of Venezuela, there’s always that cartel leader in Mexico to bump off. And once you’ve done that, there’s always the new leader of Venezuela you can bully. And after that, there’s Iran’s ruler. Then the new ruler…and on and on. “We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough,” Trump said at his press conference yesterday. “We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory.”” – Ken Klippenstein

Iran declares US-Israeli economic, banking interests in region are targets – “The IRGC releases a list of offices and infrastructure run by top US companies with Israeli links whose technology has been used for military applications. The companies include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle, and the listed offices and infrastructure for cloud-based services are located in multiple Israeli cities, as well as in some Gulf countries, said Motamedi.” – Al Jazeera Staff

Looks like the EU might have to pay Zelensky just to shut up – “Brussels looks set to bypass Hungary’s block on the €90 million “aid” package via accounting shenanigans” – Rachel Marsden

Live and let live no more – “It used to be that even if you disagreed with someone, most of us would never go out of our way to make them feel threatened. We wouldn’t make damn sure they would feel like that, but that’s not how it goes these days. Unfortunately, the left isn’t very “live and let live” in their day-to-day beliefs. They don’t see disagreements on policy as anything but proof that their opponents lack any sense of morality. They can’t comprehend that the world is a bit more nuanced than they want to make it, that moral people can view things differently based on how their morals are defined. Yet that wouldn’t be a problem if their own sense of morality didn’t excuse acts of violence against people who disagree with them.” – Tom Knighton

After Feuding With Anthropic, Pentagon Uses Its AI Model Claude To Strike Targets In Iran That Led To Civilian Deaths – “The military will continue using its technology as it waits for a replacement to be phased in, said two of the people,” The WaPo reported.. In the days leading up to the war with Iran, Pentagon and Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly rebuked AI firm Anthropic for not allowing the company to let the DoW have full access to the company’s AI LLM Claude, in order to be used in final attack scenarios and full surveillance. ” Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei [has] until the end of this week to give the military a signed document that would grant full access to its artificial intelligence model” without constraints, CBS reported. The Associated Press said “Amodei repeatedly has made clear his ethical concerns about unchecked government use of AI, including the dangers of fully autonomous armed drones and of AI-assisted mass surveillance that could track dissent.”” – The WinePress

Americans are SUFFERING and this war makes it much worse (VIDEO) with Peter Schiff – “The duo focuses on the economic and geopolitical fallout of a widening Middle East war, and Peter argues that it is already reshaping markets, energy flows, and monetary outcomes. He connects the conflict to higher prices (measured by CPI), a renewed bid for precious metals, and a market that was dangerously fragile before the shooting started.” – Redacted

JPMorgan Limits Lending To Private Credit Groups After Marking Down Loan Collateral – “JPMorgan’s decision will limit how much money the bank lends to private credit groups against those loans going forward, a sign traditional Wall Street banks are becoming increasingly nervous about the $1.8 trillion industry that has grown rapidly as non-bank lenders became top creditors to higher-risk borrowers. The move was to be expected: JPM CEO Jamie Dimon has expressed an increasingly negative view of the private credit space, and told investors at the bank’s leveraged finance conference last week that it was being more prudent in lending against software assets.” – Tyler Durden

Loans to Nonbanks Threaten Banking Crisis – “Last week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp released the industry data for US banks for 2025. On the surface, the numbers look reassuring, even strong. But beneath the calm headline figures lies a growing risk that investors should not ignore. The fastest growing bank asset category is loans to non-depository financial institutions (NDFIs), a corner of the financial system that regulators have struggled to monitor and control, up 7% in Q4 vs Q3 and up 35% YOY to $1.4 trillion at year-end 2025. With growing signs of credit stress among nonbank companies, banks will eventually pull back from lending to NDFIs.” – Christopher Whalen

You’re Not a Real Homesteader if You Don’t Grow This… – “There’s one crop that most homesteaders have either ignored or seriously underestimated, and it checks nearly every box that matters for real self-sufficiency. It’s ancient, tough as nails, and it’s been feeding people for thousands of years. Even the Aztec empire relied on this grain! Here’s why you should bring it back to life in your homestead. Meet Amaranth: The Ancient Grain That Fed an Empire” – Olivia Brooks

The Grid Gets Dangerously Fragile In 2026 – “AI Power Hunger, $150 Oil, and the Case for Local Backup Power For most of the past century, Americans treated electricity like running water. You flipped a switch, and the lights came on. The grid hummed quietly in the background, invisible and dependable. But lately, the ground beneath that assumption has started to shift.” – Bill Heid
