THE BIG PICTURE

An Ominous Confession – “Trump never apologizes – but he tried hard to last night, when he said the following on his Truth Social platform: “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.” “Out of anger”? Isn’t it the Iranians who have the right to be angry? Trump apologizes for the Israelis’ anger – over being hit back after they hit first. Oy vey! It continues: “Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.” Pinhead says what? He admits the attack was ill-advised and kind-of, sort-of apologizes for it and then says the Iranians “unjustifiably and unfairly” attacked the LNG gas facility in Qatar! This is like the guy caught beating his wife who moans about how she made him do it – and she’d better not do it again.” – Eric Peters

Is Netanyahu Dead Or Is It An Elaborate AI Mindscrew? – “As I have articulated before, it is a battlefield for our minds, it is Sixth Generation warfare. The rumors began to spread after Bibi had noticeably been absent from strategic meetings and did not make any public appearances. However, on Tuesday night, Forbes posted a clip of U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Netanyahu walking and talking together. But many people in the comments said this video looks more AI than the last ones we’ve seen.” – The WinePress

Surveillance for Sale – FBI Increases Data Tracking – “The FBI has now openly admitted that it is purchasing location data on Americans, confirming what many suspected for years. Director Kash Patel testified that the agency “does purchase commercially available information” and uses “all tools” to carry out its mission, which includes data capable of tracking people’s movements without a warrant.” – Martin Armstrong

Elderly Canadian woman offered euthanasia before doctor even asked what was wrong with her – “A senior who went to Vancouver General Hospital for a diagnosis and treatment after experiencing sudden pain was offered euthanasia by a doctor – before the woman had even been asked what was wrong with her. Miriam had not asked for euthanasia. She had not even asked about euthanasia. She had not yet received a diagnosis. But still, she was offered a lethal injection that would kill her immediately – in all likelihood, simply because she is an elderly woman. Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala. ” – Jonathon Van Maren

The Political Left, Multiculturalism And The Dark Alliance With Islam – “Today, the notion of even discussing the agenda of “Stealth Jihad” in a public venue in 2026 is labeled “racist” by progressive activists and left wing politicians (even though Islam is not a race). If you were to go back in time around 15 years ago and explain to people what is happening today in terms of third-world immigration, they would probably laugh in your face and call you a conspiracy theorist. In 2026 in Europe the plan is nearly complete and in the US the plan is well underway. The change in how our society views Islam as an untouchable subject is largely due to a dark and convenient political alliance between the woke left and the Stealth Jihad.” – Brandon Smith

Does anybody remember Vietnam, when observing the Iran “not a war?” – “I’m getting a strong feeling of Vietnam déjà vu with Sec-War Pete Hegseth’s daily repetition of of our record-breaking Iran bombing raid sortie numbers. We’ve seen this movie before, and it does not have a happy ending. The MSM talking head brainiacs suggesting “boots on the ground” in Iran are absolutely, clinically, insane. Like it or not, we’re all in the same energy boat, because oil and gas are fungible commodities in a global market. Allies, enemies, all of us. You don’t throw hand grenades in the life raft.” – Matthew Bracken  – GOOD READ AND ANALYSIS FROM MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trapped – “3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. Let that sink in. These aren’t military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK – Crews running out of WATER – Port authorities REFUSING tolet them dock – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it.” – Tennessee Country

The Human Costs of War – “Command Chief Master Sergeant (ret.) Dennis Fritz went on “Judging Freedom” yesterday and spoke with force and eloquence about the human costs of war. Every American should watch and heed this video. Especially the last five minutes or so.There is nothing whatsoever wonderful and wondrous about dead Iranian schoolgirls in Minab, obliterated by a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile on February 28. Roughly 165 to 175 people died in that strike—most were schoolgirls between 7 and 12 years old. There are heartless ghouls among us—we must not take our lead from them. ” – Bill Astore

America’s Justice System Evolving to Lenin/Stalin Communist Bolshevism – “Trump wants emergency funds of $200 billion for a war he claims he already won, although he might still obliterate Iran out of vengeance for daring to retaliate. We have spiraled from a Biden dementia to a literal psychotic, and we should be very scared. I know I am. The consequences of his actions will playout for years to come. The two people who completely misled Trump on the Iran Negotiations, Kushner and Witkoff, are eerily silent about their actions:. Witkoff has reportedly been pleading with Iranian officials to talk with him to no avail. Of course, the US has zero reputation left as Lies have become the mainstream identity. The Senate called for Witkoff to appear for a briefing. Oddly, the man who started a global war centered in the Middle East is not detained by the FBI or CIA for treason, and instead the FBI is investigating former army warrant officer, Green Beret, and CIA paramilitary officer for internal leaks while labeling Joe Kent an antisemite. Guess we know who called for his investigation.” – Helena Glass

Focusing on symptoms over root causes – “Connecting the dots for lazy intellects. Since the U.S./Israel-Iran war started on February 28, the conservative media have shifted their reporting focus in a very obvious way, churning out anti-Muslim content like Willie Wonka churns out chocolate. I feel like it’s a flashback to the 2002-2008 era when Muslim fearmongering was ever-present and palpable. Look at what they did here, and look at what they’ve done there!” – Leo Hohmann

Congress Knows It Has a Spending Problem, But Won’t Fix It – “Fiscal discipline is politically costly, but inaction will be disastrous. How can we restore sanity to federal budgeting?” – Romina Boccia

Kristi Noem’s Replacement Bows to Protesters – “ICE’s reputation is in the toilet and Trump-world knows it,Senator Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s next homeland security chief, testified before his colleagues this week and apologized. He’s sorry about the ham-fisted conduct of the department. He’s sorry about warrantless searches. He’s sorry about the labeling of protesters as terrorists. In his confirmation hearing, Mullin sounded like a disgraced politician begging for a second chance. Ask yourself: when have you ever heard the Trump administration apologize like this before? It was an extraordinary act of surrender to the public.” – Ken Klippenstein

More Americans Are Relying on Debt to Get By – “You’ve probably seen the headlines. Inflation is cooling. The worst is behind us. That’s technically true. But it’s also widely misunderstood. Inflation measures the rate of increase in prices – not whether prices are going down. If inflation drops from 9% to 3%, that doesn’t mean relief. It means prices are still rising… just more slowly.” – Peter Reagan

Welcome to the Stockyard of Unaffordability – “The herd here in The Stockyard of Unaffordability isn’t cheered much by the cost of a TV dropping $50 while everything essential to life has gone up by $500 or $5,000. Here in the The Stockyard of Unaffordability, people can no longer afford rent, healthcare, childcare, senior care, higher education, insurance, vehicle repairs or a pet. But TVs that deliver adverts 24/7 got a few bucks cheaper because the TV manufacturers now make more money selling ads than they do manufacturing TVs.” – Charles Hugh Smith

AI Lays Off 1/5 of Facebook – “Last week Facebook announced they’re laying off 20,000 — one fifth of the company — blaming AI. In a cruel irony, they’ll be plowing those 20,000 salaries — and the free backrubs — into building more AI data centers. With AI job replacement finally putting some numbers on the board, it’s a useful time to ask what happened last time we wiped out two-third of jobs: The Industrial Revolution.” – Peter St Onge

PMs predictably volatile – “Paper gold and silver have sold down in very light trade. The bullion establishment is scrambling to close its shorts and go long as the outlook for gold gets increasingly bullish. The chart below shows that gold could be described as consolidating nicely giving it a firm platform for its next leg up against the dollar. Meanwhile, the war in Iran is destabilising the world’s exporter of investment capital — Japan. The consequences are bound to speed up the collapse of bond and equity prices, and therefore the life of all fiat currencies. Despite its current volatility, physical gold remains the true safe haven.” – Alasdair Macleod

Master the art of food storage: Build a survival pantry that lasts – “In an unpredictable world, the wisdom of preparing for the unexpected has moved from the fringe to the forefront of many families’ minds. The goal is no longer just to have food, but to have a resilient, reliable and nourishing stockpile that can sustain you through prolonged disruptions. ” – Activist Post

SurviveX First Aid Kit Review: What It’s Actually Worth When Things Go Wrong – “In fact, I rarely write any reviews and I only do it when I feel the products deserves to be shown. However, after getting this kit and going through it piece by piece, I realized it’s not your typical “throw it in a drawer and forget it” kind of first aid kit. I wanted something better than the tiny kits you find at gas stations, but not full-on paramedic gear. Somewhere in the middle. What I got ended up being closer to a serious emergency kit than I expected. Most people already have some kind of first aid kit at home, but if you take a closer look at what is actually inside, you quickly realize that most of them are built for convenience, not for real situations.” – Bob Rodgers
