THE BIG PICTURE

Israel Has Nuclear Weapons? – “Sorry, Can’t Comment On That. Judge Napolitano showed a clip of a U.S. government official, a nuclear proliferation expert, explaining he could not comment on whether Israel had nuclear weapons. WTF? Israel started working on nuclear weapons early in the 1960s. Everyone knows they have a nuclear arsenal of somewhere between 90 and 200 nuclear bombs (some estimates go as high as 300). Yet Trump administration officials can’t even acknowledge that Israel has nukes. Could you be more slavishly subservient to Israel than that?” – Bill Astore

Insurance only works if you have it before the storm arrives. – “When global uncertainty rises, precious metals tend to attract attention because they operate under a different set of rules than stocks or currencies. Even before tensions escalated in the Middle East, central banks around the world were buying gold at the fastest pace seen in decades. Think about that for a moment. The same institutions responsible for printing currency are quietly accumulating gold. Most Americans spend decades working hard, saving money, and building retirement accounts. But markets can change quickly. A geopolitical crisis, a currency shock, or an economic shift can remind investors just how fragile paper assets can sometimes be. This isn’t about panic. It’s about preparation.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

They Knew About the Strokes. They Pushed the Shots Anyway – “A bombshell Senate investigation reveals the CDC detected a statistically significant stroke signal in November 2022 — then spent months burying it while the White House demanded more boosters.” – Justin Hart

Ditch the sports drinks: Doctors reveal 11 whole foods that prevent painful muscle cramps – Cassie B.

New Climate Study Debunks Key UN IPCC Dogma – “Breaking research reveals the key metric behind so-called global warming is based on “physically meaningless” calculations. If true, it could upend decades of climate science and policy.” – Alex Newman

PFAS Pesticides Are Showing Up on Our Food—And Regulators Are Still Looking the Other Way – “Remember when FDA tried convincing us there were no “forever chemicals” in our food? Well, a new analysis has uncovered that residues of these incredibly dangerous chemicals are showing up on a large share of fruits and vegetables grown in the United States. A new Environmental Working Group analysis found PFAS pesticide residues on 37% of tested California produce, with especially high contamination in fruits like peaches, strawberries, and grapes.” – ANH-USA

Who Gets a Seat at the Multipolar Table? – “The unipolar club is closed. The United States no longer holds the only key. A new table is being set in global politics, and the question isn’t whether the world is becoming multipolar. It aleady is. The question is: who actually gets a seat? Not who is invited. Not who is hoped for. Who earns it.” – Ashes of Pompeii

The Only Thing You Need to Read About Iran – “Perhaps 100 people in the entire world know the reality about what is transpiring between the U.S./ Isreal and Iran. Those people, with few exceptions, are NOT talking to the media or posting online. The stakes are too high. The ones who are talking to the media/ posting online are doing so for strategic purposes (misdirection, strategic deception, bluffing, etc.) If you think you know what’s happening because you read what “geopolitical_genius_guy” posted on X or because you listened to “military-influencer” on TikTok or a podcast, you’re gravely mistaken. Consider the following facts about Iran…” – Graham Summers, MBA

Iran: The test the US cannot afford to fail – “Why Iran has become America’s defining test” – Fyodor Lukyanov

The STRAIT Jacket – “It suits the president well. Iran flat-out rejected Trump’s “peace plan” today (again) and continued its attacks around the gulf and at Israel where missile interceptors seem to be stretched a little thin now in their ability to shield the public, None of this stopped the president from continuing to say that Iran is eagerly negotiating for peace, and he hopes to have an agreement later this week, to which Iran gave an interesting response: Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you (Trump) negotiating with yourself? That came from Iran’s top spokesperson for its joint military command, Ebrahim Zolfaqari, speaking on Iranian state TV.” – David Haggith

Boots on the Ground as Israel Sabotages Trump’s 15-Point Peace Plan – “The Pentagon confirms the deployment of troops to West Asia. ormer Army lieutenant general Keith Kellogg thinks all the US need do to turn the tide in Iran is take Kharg Island. “We don’t necessarily have to send troops into Iran, but we need to capture Kharg Island. We need to do it the way the Romans did. We need to put legions on the ground to secure the territory,” he said. The Roman legions didn’t face Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Iran will undoubtedly send a legion of drones, missiles, and rockets against any attempt to occupy Kharg, Qeshm, Kish, Hormuz, or the Greater and Lesser Tunb” – Kurt Nimmo

Is a Ground War With Iran Imminent, or Inevitable? – “The answer is an unqualified ‘No.'” – Ken Klippenstein  – GOOD POINTS FROM KEN!!!!

Typical Examples of How U.S.-&-Allied ‘News’-Media Deceive their Public – “On March 25th, America’s AP news-agency headlined “Iran rejects US ceasefire plan, issues its own demands as strikes land across the Mideast” and in the course of their 1,000+ word article, said nothing about Iran issuing any demands, or what they were; and, so, that headline was a lie. The headline implied that the U.S. regime had issued a ceasefire plan to Iran and that Iran responded by issuing “its own demands”; and this was implying that there are negotiations between U.S. and Iran. But Iran has repeatedly denied that there are ANY negotiations going on now between itself and the U.S. regime.” – Eric Zuesse

5-point plan – “Yesterday, Iran rejected the US-proposed 15-point plan, instead laying out its own conditions in a 5-point plan; (1) halt the killing of Iranian officials; (2) means to make sure no other war is wage against it; (3) reparations for the war; (4) an end to all hostilities; and (5) Iran’s “exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.” The probability that Washington would accept these terms in exchange for a ceasefire is roughly equal to the likelihood that Tehran would have accepted the original US proposal…zero. Against that backdrop, the clock on Trump’s self‑imposed five‑day deadline continues to tick down. The relative calm in markets suggests some investor confidence that hostilities may eventually wind down, however slim that prospect remains. ” – Molly Schwartz

Report Alleges President Trump’s Daily Military Briefings Are Framed To Only Tell Trump He Is Winning And War In Iran Is Successful – “Is he being deceived, or is he a knowing deceiver, or both?” – The WinePress

Hegseth Declares ‘Pentagon Will Keep Negotiating With Bombs’ – Trump Seeks To Assure War Ending ‘Soon’ – “White House said to be preparing ‘final blow’ if efforts at talks fail..” – Tyler Durden

Pete Hegseth’s Christianity Is NOT The Christianity Of The Bible – “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sees himself as a crusader. He calls himself a Christian. He believes his faith instructs him to “kill the infidels.” And as did the crusaders in the Middle Ages, Hegseth views the “infidels” primarily as the Muslim people. But Hegseth’s “Christian” crusade goes well beyond that. If he were able to annihilate every Muslim on earth, he would then set his sights on anyone who does not share his heretical Christian Nationalist ideology. With a “divine” mission to “kill, kill, kill” (Hegseth’s words), there is no need and no room for rules of engagement. In fact, Hegseth calls the rules of engagement “stupid.” There is no need and no room for Just War. There is no need and no room for international law. There is no need and no room for constitutional law. As Hegseth sees it, his wars are “anointed” by God.” – Chuck Baldwin

Is Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s Governor, owned by the Sinaloa Cartel? Are 25% of Arizona’s Judges Corrupt? – “Several crime syndicates steal our elections: the Chinese, Venezuelans, the British Empire, Luciferians, the Left. In Arizona, it’s the cartels.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Operation Arctic Frost – Kash Patel vs Joe Kent And The FBI – “Two stories, same topic, different versions: If anyone should be investigated based on their bizarre antics, it would be Kash Patel, not Joe Kent. The Rise of Kash Patel from literally nothingism:” – Helena Glass

ICE, ICE MAYBE… We Should Pay the TSA? – “The People Protecting You at 35,000 Feet Are Donating Bodily Fluids Between Shifts Because Congress Thinks Deporting a Dishwasher Is More Important Than Stopping a Bomb” – 🐺The Wise Wolf  – MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GET RID OF BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

California’s ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ joins the ‘Train to Nowhere’ – “‘Nowhere’ is a popular destination among CA government officials. We are $13 billion dollars into a high speed train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. As of this moment it goes…nowhere. Not an inch. Not a stitch of high-speed rail has been laid. What was once projected to be a $33 billion dollar project that would be operational by 2020 is now projected to cost about $128 billion, becoming operational in 2032…but only between Merced and Bakersfield.” – Kira Davis

Britain’s energy nightmare is of our own elites’ making – “The Iran War oil shock must bring an end to decades of national self-harm.” – Ftaser Myers

Russian SMO Enters Doldrums Under Shadow of Iran Conflict – “Quietly, it appears, the Russian Spring offensive season has kicked off, though perhaps with a rocky start. With the battlefield updates out of the way, let us discuss the current frontline trends. Many believe the war has entered a kind of doldrums phase, wherein public interest has waned for the time being, and Russia has lost its edge in the progression-narrative it previously maintained. Part of the ‘perception’ of this has to do with the Iranian conflict taking center stage, which coincided with the late winter and rasputitsa period of inactivity.” – Simplicius

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Dow slides more than 450 points, pressured by rising oil prices and doubts over Iran negotiations – Sean Conlon and Lisa Kailai Han

What if this is all part of the plan? – “You don’t have to look very hard these days to see widespread criticism of the conflict in Iran. Personally, I see this from a lot of different angles– some positive, some negative. But at the same time I also think there’s a possibility that what’s happening right now might actually BE the plan. Just consider: the US national debt is $39 trillion. Deficits are piling on an additional $2 trillion per year. Social Security is only six years away from running out of money. And the vast majority of United States Congressmen couldn’t possibly care less. It doesn’t make you unpatriotic or unAmerican to understand this simple truth: US government bonds are simply not as attractive as they used to be for foreign investors. The leadership of every foreign country on this planet recognizes that they could wake up tomorrow morning and find out that their Treasury holdings have been frozen. Or they could be sanctioned. Or there could be another tariff escalation. Or their alliance terminated. Or another military strike. They also believe that Congress will continue to do nothing about America’s spiraling debt and budget deficit.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

I’ve Reached Peak Lobotomized Consumer – “Congrats, system. You win. I am living idiocracy.. There’s a very specific kind of financial confession I’ve had to make to myself recently. I see charges pop up on my phone’s home screen on various credit cards all the time. A lot of times they just say “Apple” or “Amazon.” No details. No explanation. Just a clean, confident withdrawal from my account like I’m renting air to breathe from both of these companies. And like a good American lobotomized consumer, I do absolutely nothing about it.” – Quoth the Raven

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The price of beef – “The price of beef has been on everyone’s mind lately. According to the USDA, the average price of beef jumped from $8.40 per pound in March to $10.10 by December 2025. A number of recent articles reflect these concerns: We haven’t bought beef in decades since we raise our own, so I wasn’t familiar with what kinds of prices people are facing. So in late February, I stopped at the beef department of our local grocery store … and was appalled.It is for these reasons, among many others, that we’re aiming to have one animal a year in our beef pipeline.” – Patrice Lewis
