THE BIG PICTURE

Where Do the Big Name “Influencers” Really Get Their Money? And How Do Dubious Unknowns Suddenly Become Viral Sensations? (Part 1) – “Ever noticed how the most famous influencers have back stories that make zero sense?” – Anthony Colpo

A Special Forces Soldier Is Going to Prison for the Same Insider Betting Donald Trump Jr. Profits from Every Single Day – “Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke Is Facing Five Federal Charges for Doing the Same Thing That Pays Donald Trump Jr.’s Bills. This isn’t a Democrat versus Republican story no matter how badly both sides want it to be. Nancy Pelosi has been caught so many times trading stocks in sectors she directly regulates that financial Twitter built an entire cottage industry around copying her portfolio, and her returns consistently beat the market in ways that would be statistically improbable for someone who wasn’t getting a little extra information with her morning briefing. The machine that lets Donald Trump Jr. profit from wars his father starts is the same machine that let Pelosi’s husband buy semiconductor stocks weeks before a semiconductor subsidy bill she helped pass landed on the president’s desk.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

America’s Relentless Descent into Paganism – “First slowly and then suddenly…” – Jim McCraigh

Coincidence… or Coordination? You Be the Judge. – “When the same ideas echo across decades, institutions, and policy… it’s time to start asking why. Fast forward to today, and that same way of thinking shows up in the language of governance. Terms like “public interest,” “greater good,” “managing growth,” and “long-term planning” are now standard across policy documents. These aren’t just buzzwords … they are the foundation used to guide decisions, justify restrictions, and balance individual rights with collective outcomes. But those words are not fixed. They are interpreted, expanded, and redefined over time. So the question becomes: who defines the “public interest”… and how much does that definition shift depending on who is in control?” – Connie Shields

How DMSO Heals the Brain and Transforms Neurology – “The extensive evidence behind DMSO’s ability to treat ‘incurable’ neurological diseases — and how to use it” – A Midwestern Doctor  – LONG AND A LITTLE SCIENTIFIC, BUT INTERESTING!!!

When 104 Cancer Diagnoses Become a Global Mandate: The HPV Vaccine Study the Media Won’t Tell You About – “A small retrospective cohort study out of Japan tracked one cancer type, found 104 cases, and was converted within 48 hours into a synchronized global headline claiming HPV vaccines “cut cancer risk in half” for boys. Here is what the study actually showed — and what the ceaseless amplification is designed to make you forget.” – Sayer Ji

America’s Largest Landowner Is Mapping And Digitizing Forests With AI, Creating A ‘Database Detailing Each Tree In The Forest’ – “The opportunity set here is really leveraging this new transformational technology to take all of that information and data and make everything we do better.” – The WinePress

“We Have All The Cards”: Trump Cancels Witkoff-Kushner Trip To Pakistan For Iran Talks – “In a sharp reversal, Trump has personally canceled the Witkoff-Kushner trip to Pakistan. “They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing’” ” – Tyler Durden

The Bloody Awful Waste of War – “Insanity on a Mass Scale. Iran’s forensics chief said nearly 3,400 people had been killed in the country since U.S.-Israeli strikes began Feb. 28. Almost 2,500 people have been killed in Lebanon, 32 have been killed in Gulf states, and 23 have died in Israel. Thirteen U.S. service members have been killed, and two more died of noncombat causes. I happen to believe Iranian lives are as valuable and precious as American lives. What gives the U.S. and Israeli governments the right to inflict such disproportionate casualties on Iran, on Lebanon, on Gaza?” – Bill Astore

An All-American Retort to Israel’s Invasion of Lebanon – “Israel’s bombing of Lebanon has reportedly killed more than a thousand civilians this year. Israel also drove out more than a half million civilians from southern Lebanon as part of an effort to commandeer that territory. Israel’s bombing has been so indiscriminate that even President Donald Trump objected. The attacks are reminiscent of Israel’s 2006 invasion of Lebanon, which also killed roughly a thousand civilians, as well as a few hundred Hezbollah fighters. With the W. Bush White House cheerleading all the way, The U.S. government has been perennially dragged into Lebanese quagmires since the Reagan era. It would be foolish to expect the Trump White House to consistently show either the wisdom or courage of some of Reagan’s policymakers long ago. I have the same recommendation now that I had in a 1987 USA Today piece opposing deployment of the U.S. Navy to the Persian Gulf: “This is not our war, and there is no profit in U.S. intervention.” GTFO remains the best Middle East policy for America.” – James Bovard

Trump’s “New Dawn for Cuba” Regime Change – “The administration figures Cuba will be an easier nut to crack than Iran. “There have been reports that the Pentagon is preparing for military action in Cuba. Are those reports true? Is Cuba next?” Trump was asked during an Air Force One flight on April 18. “Well, it depends on what your definition of military action is,” the president responded. Trump and Rubio point to Cuba’s failed economy while omitting the primary cause for the failure: a crushing US embargo, first imposed in 1958 following the Cuban revolution, ” – Kurt Nimmo

Still a failure: The City of London backs EU’s €90 billion Ukraine war-chest – “The conflict between member states and the EC may push the whole union to the breaking point.” – Joaquin Flores

Trump moves to bolster and ‘expedite’ death penalty for federal crimes, adding firing squads, electrocution, esphyxiation in ‘streamlined’ process – “There’s more to this story than what the corporate media is reporting and should be received in context of other changes the government has set in motion for future crackdowns on political disssent.” – Leo Hohmann

Why Do Democrats Hate America? – “Their business model runs on hate. Because Democrats rewrite history as effortlessly as normal people breathe air, they routinely fail to mention that no political party in the history of the United States has abused congressional districting more than the Democrat Party. Ah, yes, “standing up for democracy” requires Democrats to disenfranchise the roughly 50% of Virginians who are Republican by forcing them to have Democrat “representatives” in the House. When Obama says, “our democracy,” he means the Democrat Party’s undemocratic rule. ” – J.B. Shurk

When North Heads South – “Mamdani soaks the rich as their capital flows south… Take for instance the Ayatollah Zohran Mamdani, spiritual leader of the People’s Republic of New York City, for whom “soaking the rich” is as much a campaign slogan for the economically illiterate as it is a battle cry for his collectivist comrades-in-arms. In his latest piece of agit-prop, the Big Apple’s Redistributor in Chief is seen naming and shaming Citadel founder, Ken Griffin, for the unpardonable evil of… having lots of money. The video, released just in time for Tax Day, shows Mamdani gloating in front of Griffin’s private residence, “I’m thrilled to announce we’ve secured a pied-à-terre tax,” the 34-year-old Democratic socialist rejoiced. “The first in New York’s history.” In a Little Red Textbook case of “biting the hand that feeds,” Mamdani’s publicity stunt managed to incite the predictable ire of Mr. Griffin, whose “fair share” of the city’s tax burden just happens to be meaningfully weightier than most of the city’s denizens… … including the bottom 50% of taxpayers who, according to official records, pay essentially none of the income tax—and actually receive net benefits (that is, negative liability due to credits and transfers, a figure which jumps to 55-65% once you add in Medicaid, housing subsidies, SNAP, and other federal transfers).” – Joel Bowman – PRIME EXAMPLE OF PEOPLES’ MISCONCEPTION OF PEOPLE WHO MADE MONEY AND ARE NOW CONSIDERED WEALTHY PEOPLE AND THUS THEY SHOULD BE TAXED FURTHER. THESE WEALTHY PEOPLE ADD A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY AS THIS ARTICLE ILLUSTRATES!!!

Russia’s New Commemorative Day Honors The Soviet Victims Of The Nazis’ Genocides – “That was the primary reason why it was established, though it also serves political purposes, but these are in response to the West’s “war on historical memory” equating the USSR with Nazi Germany and blaming both for World War II.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Priced for Perfection in an Imperfect World – “Investors, having seen the light, race towards it with great expectations. The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ are, once again, near all-time highs. By the look of the lofty stock market indexes, the American economy must be operating at full tilt. But what if the light investors are racing towards is not the promise of riches they’re expecting? What if it’s the headlight of a freight train locomotive that’s headed right towards them?” – MN Gordon

When the Measuring Stick Shrinks: Why Everything Feels Expensive at Once – “I was talking with a neighbor the other day – a neurosurgeon, by nature and by profession a truly careful guy. Not someone who freaks out in an emergency. Not someone given to exaggeration. He shook his head and said something I’ve been hearing more and more lately: “Nothing adds up anymore.” So I was surprised to hear him talking about his bills – because it sounded like he was sharing the same experiences as Birch Gold Group customers over the last five years: Same groceries, higher price at the register Same house, much higher insurance (rates went up 21% after the wildfires in one year alone) He went shopping for a used car for his son – and experienced comprehensive sticker shock Used vehicle prices are up 29% since 2020 (new cars are up 21%) Car insurance is up 56% over the same period. Maintenance and repair costs are up 50%” – Peter Reagan

Is This Rally A Bull Trap?? (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “The markets just hit new all-time highs yesterday. That’s after one of the most violent face-ripping V-bottoms in market history. And there are a lot of technical indicators still flashing green, suggesting this rally still has room to run even higher. Is that likely? Or are stocks setting up a classic bull trap? Portfolio manager Lance Roberts and I discuss the odds,” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

How to Make Roman Concrete – “Concrete has been around for thousands of years, and it’s been used to build some of the most durable and iconic structures known to man. But did you know that the concrete used by the Romans in the ancient days was far more tough and durable than the concrete we use today? After all, there’s a reason old Roman structures are still standing 2000 years later. It’s actually the Romans who are credited with first discovering concrete.” – Alan Urban   – HAVE BEEN LINKING SEVERAL BUILDING, BRICKS AND BLOCKS ARTICLES LATELY. HERE’S ANOTHER ONE!!!

Recycling Gold and Copper from Electronics – “Some people actively prospect for gold and other precious metals across rivers, creeks, and streams. Images of Alaska Sourdoughs and California 49ers come to mind as they swirl their gold pans in freezing waters and look with hope for a speck of gold. But you don’t have to head for them thar’ hills to find gold and other precious metals. It’s all around us if we know where to look.” – Steve Nubie
