THE BIG PICTURE
The Technate of America: The 1940 Nazi Blueprint Behind Trump’s Iran War That Makes My Brain Want to Explode – “Jiang asks the question nobody on cable news has the attention span to ask: if the Middle East oil is gone, where does the replacement come from? Canada. Venezuela. The United States. And who just took Venezuela. And who is threatening Canada. And who tried to buy Greenland. And who had his Secretary of War unveil something called “Greater North America” that claims every nation north of the equator as an American security perimeter. Jiang calls this “the Technate” and says it like he invented the concept over lunch. He didn’t. It has a name. It has a history. It has a map. And here is where things go from “interesting YouTube lecture” to “I need to sit down and possibly throw up.” So why isn’t anyone stopping this? Because 70 million Americans think the front man was sent by Jesus. I voted for Donald Trump twice. He was solid the first time. Probably would’ve been fine the second time. But this isn’t the same man. This is an old man nearing the end who can see what Musk and Thiel are building and is making sure the Trump family has a seat at the new table. The Christianity is the costume.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf – HAVE LINKED ABOUT TECHNATE OF AMERICA BEFORE, SEE POSTS ON 09/04/25 AND 01/21/26
Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court To Shield Bayer From Glyphosate Lawsuits. Kentucky Becomes Latest State To Prohibit Lawsuits Against Pesticide Producers – “The USDA last week deregulated genetically-modified (GMO) corn for insect resistance created by Bayer, further proof that the admin. is totally aligned with big-ag and big-pharma.” – The WinePress

Academic Study: Why Won’t German Women Mate With Migrants? – “The ongoing Western social engineers’ jihad to deracinate the white race by herding European women into the warm embrace of Third World migrants has not, so far, gone as swimmingly as the architects of globo-homo race communism had hoped. Indeed, the majority of the migrant-native sexual relations in Europe appear to be the non-consensual type. Enter the crack social scientists of EU-funded academia to figure out what went wrong so as to expedite the mongrelization. Of all the war-torn “refugees” fleeing oppression, they all just happen to be horny men who arrive on European soil with no women of their own to fornicate with. What are the odds the demographic migrant cookie crumbles like that — serendipity for the social engineers who aim to force blonde women into the arms of brown carpetbaggers! Anyway, potential obvious reasons German women won’t take up sexual Congress with Syrian migrants, which one doesn’t need an academic study funded by Brussels to determine:” – Ben Bartee
Big Tech Reverting to Old Ways? – “Meta clamps down on a documentary criticizing Meta. Is old-school digital censorship returning?” – Matt Taibbi
Apple Forces Users To Register Digital ID To Use The Internet In UK, Australia And Some US States. UK Government Will Investigate Complaints Of Climate-Change Denial – “Apple has crossed the Rubicon with this software update which is more like ransomware, holding customers hostage to ID demands that are invasive, exclusionary and unnecessary.” – The WinePress

NEWS
Marco Rubio, Tell Us Again Who The Lunatics Are That Have An Apocalyptic Vision Of The Future – “The lies about Iran emanating from the Trump administration are not only multitudinous; they are malicious and fallacious. It has been confirmed by U.S. intelligence agencies, including by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard under oath before Congress in March 2025 that Iran did NOT possess a nuclear weapon and was NOT pursuing a nuclear weapon. This has been the consistent testimony of our intelligence agencies for at least the last 20 years. Yet, during those same 20 years, Benjamin Netanyahu and Senator Lindsey Graham have been constantly fomenting that Iran is two weeks away from possessing a nuclear weapon. It was all a lie. And the same people who accused Iran of building a nuclear weapon also accused Iran of being the “Number One sponsor of terrorism.” This is likewise a bald-faced lie. Our own State Department identifies Sunni Islam subgroups such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, ISIL, al-Nusra, etc., as leading the list of terrorist organizations. Yet, these are the groups that Donald Trump helped to put in power in Syria, and he continues to fund, arm and train these terrorist organizations.” – Chuck Baldwin
War May Be about to Widen Hyugely – “Has Israel’s nightmare begun? Are we marching relentlessly toward Armageddon?. Now that the Houthis have joined the war and Iran has stated they are tasked with closing the Red Sea, this war could easily become a global catastrophe. We all know how easily this tiny group of dessert rats managed to shut down the Red Sea for all shipping traffic last year. Imagine that both sides of the Arabian peninsula now become shut down to shipping. Now you’re talking a loss of maybe 40% of oil supply being cut off and an enormous amount of other commercial shipping through the Suez Canal.” – David Haggith
Stone Age Bombing – “I watched President Trump’s speech to the nation last night on the Iran War. The lies and boasts flew thick. According to Trump, America is winning and winning big. Under Joe Biden, America was “crippled” and “dead,” but Trump has reanimated the dead and healed it. (An obvious aside: Trump has a serious Christ complex.) From dead and crippled, America is now the meanest, toughest, hombre in the valley. We take what we want and if you resist we’ll bomb you back to the Stone Age.” – Bill Astore
Trump Rides Crazy Train Straight to Hell – “The president threatens to bomb a nation of 93 million people “back to the Stone Age, where they belong.” After listening to President Trump ignominious, incoherent, and depraved address about the Iran War, I racked my brain to think of other leaders in history who combined mendacity, stupidity, and arrogance in such equal measures. I couldn’t think of any other foreign policy utterance in history that matched the lowness of Trump’s..” – John Leake
Iran and Arabia: A Study in Contrasts – “Shared history: divided geograhies, religions and politics. The geopolitical tension between the Arab world and Iran goes far beyond a contemporary dispute over resources or borders; it is rooted in millennia of distinct historical trajectories, a religious schism dating back over 1,400 years, and a stark contrast in how statehood itself was forged.” – Ashes of Pompeii
“Make A Deal Before It’s Too Late”: Trump Threatens Tehran (Again) As Iran/Oman Draft Protocol To Re-Open Hormuz – “World’s most important oil price hits record high as Trump threatens Iran:” – Tyler Durden
Pam Bondi ousted as attorney general, source says – “She will be replaced for now by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who will serve as acting attorney general, Trump said. The president wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration and offering no specific reason for why she would be leaving.” – Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins and Hannah Rabinowitz – ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pam Bondi’s Two Gigantic Failures Overshadowed Her Middle Management Skills or Fox News Appearances – “There is a particular irony in Pam Bondi’s departure from the Justice Department that the political class seems determined not to discuss. She was confirmed as Attorney General last February with the explicit mandate to restore discipline, accountability, and purpose to a department that had spent four years operating as the enforcement arm of progressive political ambition. By every measure of institutional loyalty, she delivered. The first reason she’s gone is a bit complicated. She couldn’t get any high-profile indictments or arrests to stick. None of them. The second, bigger reason she’s gone is not complicated at all, and it has nothing to do with the usual Washington parlor game of “palace intrigue.” Bondi was removed because she committed what is, in this administration, the cardinal sin: she managed a high-profile political liability with all the grace of a man trying to defuse a bomb with oven mitts. The Epstein files debacle — a slow-motion disaster of mismanagement, contradictory statements, and stagecraft that backfired spectacularly ” – JD Rucker
Trump polled advisers about replacing Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief – “Exclusive: Pressure intensifies for Gabbard after president’s displeasure with Iran war testimony” – Hugo Lowel
Gulf States Considering Network Of New Pipelines To Bypass Strait Of Hormuz – Tyler Durden
The US Is Making A Play For Belarus’ Most Strategic Export – “Average consumers across the world have probably never purchased anything from Belarus, but among the agricultural industry, its potash – a high-quality fertilizer – is globally renowned. Not only is it very effective, but it’s also plentiful, with Belarus accounting for 15.9% of total production. This makes it the world’s third-largest producer. The West imposed sanctions on Belarus’ most strategic export after summer 2020’s failed Color Revolution, but the US just removed its sanctions in late March.” – Andrew Korybko
It’s Past Time To Privatize The Post Office – “The USPS in its current form needs to be put out of its misery. The USPS now is the predictable outcome of trying to run a massive logistics operation through a government bureaucracy that moves slowly, resists change, and answers more to politics than to performance. Even Amazon, a company that started as an online bookstore (what could be less efficient to ship than godd*mn books — bricks?), has figured out how to build a better delivery network. Meanwhile, visits to post offices have fallen off a cliff, but the system has barely shrunk its footprint. Labor costs remain enormous, productivity lags, and the workforce is structured in ways that prioritize stability over efficiency. The contrast with private carriers like FedEx and UPS could not be clearer.They have built systems that deliver packages faster, track them more precisely, and adapt to changing demand almost in real time. ” – Quoth the Raven
ECONOMIC NEWS
The Market Law Of One Price—How The Donald Bombed Energy Consumers, Too – “The Donald plunged into one hell of a hornets nest when he took the bait from Bibi Netanyahu and launched an all out “kinetic” war on Iran (as distinguished from the brutal economic war Washington has been waging for decades). But now that the gasoline pump price has breached $4/gallon and is heading higher, he’s desperately looking for an off-ramp.” – David Stockman
MAGA FAIL: Real Inflation Is Out Of Control – “Inflation is caused by money printing, and the privately owned central planning politburo known as The Federal Reserve Bank has been conjuring unimaginable amounts of fiat out of thin air so profligately that they are now accelerating the destruction of the value of the dollar at an unprecedented rate.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World
ADP Reports Second Consecutive Month Of Solid Job Growth – “The Report Is Good, But Is It Good Enough? While the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ job reports in February blew way past “ugly” and landed square in “fugly” territory, ADP produced job numbers that were far more optimistic.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Silver: The Panic Cycle Continues… Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Stack Again – “It almost is.. Silver just pulled the classic trapdoor move. Just when it looked like the dip was buyable and the weak hands were flushed, the market yanked the rug again. This is exactly what a full-blown panic cycle looks like—violent, irrational, and designed to break conviction. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, good… that’s the point.” -Kerry Lutz

Interview with Turkiye’s Diplomacy 02.04.2026 – “The Macro Butler sat down with Umar Tasleem on Türkiye’s A News to deliver what can only be described as 10 minutes of uncomfortable arithmetic. Thirty-two days into a war won comprehensively on Day 1, the real economic damage is now impossible to ignore: oil shortages, supply chain chaos, and a Truth Social account that is the world’s most destabilizing financial instrument.” – The Macro Butler

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The Forgotten Shade Crop “Big Timber” Tried to Bury… And Why It Belongs in Your Backyard Right Now – “There’s a berry bush thriving in backyards across Europe that most Americans have never tasted, never planted, and in many cases, never even heard of. That’s not by accident — it was pushed out of sight. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Every gardening book you’ve ever read drills the same rule into your head: fruit needs full sun. Six to eight hours minimum. More is better. It’s repeated so often it feels like a law of nature — as predictable as frost in November. But then along comes a plant that quietly breaks that rule.” – Bill Heid

Sleep Deprivation Survival: 72 Hours Without Sleep Effects in a Crisis and How to Stay Functional – “Sleep Deprivation Survival is not some macho badge of honor, and it is not a niche concern for extreme situations either. In a real crisis, whether you are dealing with a storm outage, a rushed evacuation, a sick family member, civil unrest, or just the grinding stress of staying alert when everything feels unstable, sleep can disappear faster than most people expect. That is when bad decisions start creeping in quietly. You miss details, you overreact and you forget simple steps.” – Bob Rodgers
