So, if you wave goodbye or good riddance to an ICE agent, and he holds up his mobile phone, and you are in the federal system for any benign reason, he has captured your bank, health, legal and commercial records on the spot. If he talks to you in your car and is within 15 inches of your face, he can capture the same data.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

An Extension Of A Ceasefire That Is Failing Over And Over Again Would Hardly Qualify As A “Breakthrough” – “What good is a ceasefire extension if nobody is upholding the terms of the current ceasefire? Honestly, can someone please explain that to me? There have been military clashes between the United States and Iran three times already this week. Meanwhile, fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is even more intense than it was before the original ceasefire agreement with Iran was signed. So if the current ceasefire agreement has been unable to stop the fighting, why should we believe that a 60 day extension of that ceasefire agreement will get the job done?” – Michael Snyder

The U.S. Bares Its Fangs against U.S. Citizens – “The Empire has issued subpoenas to two American citizens — Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, and Hasan Piker requiring them to provide Empire officials with detailed information about a trip that Benjamin and Piker recently took to Cuba. Of course, the federal subpoenas are not a federal criminal indictment, but that could still come at any time. But the subpoenas are a message that reminds every American citizen: “We are your masters and you are our serfs. You will not travel where we tell you not to travel.

With the exception of about a dozen countries, the entire world recognizes Taiwan as part of China. The Asian giant’s breakaway island province is de facto a self-governing entity and even Beijing is ready to formally offer a wide autonomy to Taipei. However, the issue of Taiwan’s status is strictly an internal matter of China. Even the United States accepts the island’s status as a Chinese autonomous province. And yet, Washington DC keeps antagonizing Beijing through constant meddling in its internal affairs.” – Drago Bosnic

The Rise of the Global South – “The war on Iran has not only ended in a humiliating defeat for the United States, but resulted in a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the Middle East and the Global South. This order is one where voices of reason and stability emanate not from the West — which spent tens of billions of dollars sustaining Israel’s genocide — but from the Global South, including China. It is an order where alliances are being rapidly reconfigured to protect countries from a rogue American state that lashes out like a wounded beast, as it spirals toward terminal decline.” – .Chris Hedges

Lions..We are in a war driven crude and energy crisis, with high oil/gasoline/diesel prices bleeding off into food and the overall US economy. MAJOR KEY POINT.  Our country is draining, and “loaning out” its reserves AT A RECORD PACE to support foreign economies. FACT.

Diesel moves construction. Diesel moves the supply chain. So if emergency crude and diesel reserves are being burned/loaned out while diesel stocks are vanishing, that is warning in the midst of a national crisis.” – Gregory Mannarino

If you thought private credit was a drag on the economy, then the Iran war is going to be a boat anchor.” – Greg Hunter

Liquidity and relevance of paper gold and silver relative to bullion are diminishing. This market report analyses why open interest on Comex has declined to multi-year lows and the consequences. Clearly, liquidity has been drained from western paper markets by the continual drift of bullion into firm Asian hands.” -Alasdair Macleod
