THE BIG PICTURE

Fathers Are The Standard – “In my experience, people want their fathers to be proud of them. Fathers are the standard. Fathers are our first benchmark for what constitutes excellence. Fathers are traditionally the source of discipline in the household, as the Book of Proverbs reminds us. Fathers are presumed to set the example, and to point out the good path to their children.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Bill of Rights Museum – “Lysander Spooner said it plainly in 1867: the Constitution has no authority over anyone who never consented to it. At the time, people thought he was being provocative. A century and a half later, the evidence is on his side. The document that was supposed to limit government power has become the very thing it was designed to prevent — a rubber stamp for whatever the political class decides to do. The Bill of Rights is still printed. It’s just not particularly enforced. And the gap between what the Constitution says and what Washington actually does has grown so wide that at some point you have to ask Spooner’s question: Was the document ever really in charge? Let’s go through the evidence.” – Sean Ring

Cult-Building, Sex and WWIII: Leak Exposes Peter Thiel’s Secret Society (VJDEO) – “As a dedicated researcher of conspiracy reality, you’re surely familiar with the Bilderberg Group. But have you ever heard of “Dialog,” Peter Thiel’s own private, invitation-only secret society? Do you know how the membership roster of this occult group came to be leaked? Do you know which US Senators, Trump administration officials, Big Tech broligarchs and Hollywood actors can be spotted at its gatherings? And do you know what these conspirators are up to behind closed doors? No? Well, strap in and get ready! You’re about to find out all that and more.” – James Corbett / The Corbett Report

Iran Is Accomplishing All of Its War Goals – “while the US Empire has utterly failed, and Israel is surely doomed. When our Mad Emperor allowed himself to be swayed by Genocide Ben Netanyahu’s siren song of imperial glory, the ancient civilizational state of Iran, summoning commonsense strategies that go all the way back to Cyrus the Great, hunkered down, determined to achieve the following goals in a war which it had tried to avoid, yet prepared for, for decades.” – Ohio Barbarian

Who’s the Weak Link? – “The New York Times Strikes Again. Ilove getting The New York Times daily summary of the news. It makes for great hilarity. Here’s today’s example: Lebanon Emerges as Weak Link in U.S.-Iran Deal to End War. It’s not Lebanon that’s the weak link here—it’s Israel. Israel is the attacker. The aggressor. The country that wants to scupper the MOU between the USA and Iran. Everyone knows this—except the NYT, apparently.” – Bill Astore

China wades into the geopolitics of Iran – “To be sure, Beijing has a profound sense of involvement with regard to the provisions of the MoU ending the war. In particular, the operative part in regard of the regime for the Strait of Hormuz concerns China’s core interests of energy security. Whereas, Moscow is more focused on the respite that the Steve Witkoff – Jared Kushner negotiating team would now have to turn their attention to the Ukraine issue. Moscow is pressing for an early visit by Witkoff and Kushner to the Kremlin to meet President Vladimir Putin, who urged Trump in this regard. ” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

California’s Self-Inflicted Squeeze – “Once again, California delivers a rich example of what happens when central planning outweighs economic reality. Here the specific example involves extreme intervention in oil and gas markets. Policymakers in Sacramento, over many decades, have operated under the assumption that if petroleum production, refining capacity, and fuel consumption were made sufficiently difficult and expensive, the market would rapidly transition to their preferred alternatives.” – MN Gordon

The Left Hates Trump so Much That It’s Trying to Sabotage the Reflecting Pool – “The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool has become the latest target in the left’s war on anything Donald Trump touches, and the radical left isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. “American workers are pushing around the clock to finish the pool by July 4, but liberals have a vested interest in destroying it for some reason,” Sortor wrote. We all know the reason: Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s truly a shame how badly these people want to humiliate our country on the world stage, and they’re not even subtle about it anymore.” – Matt Margolis

The Myth of Price Controls – “Cuban dictator admits that price controls never work. Mamdani, Elizabeth Warren, Sanders and Ocasio Cortez should listen. This episode matters beyond Cuba because it captures the core mechanism of price control failure.

A battery-electric vehicle carries **25 to 50 grams of silver** — 67 to 79% *more* than the gas car it replaces — buried in its battery management, inverters, and charging electronics. That’s not my number; that’s the Silver Institute and Oxford Economics.” – Kerry Lutz

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I’ve seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle
Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine
Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind
And I don’t remember church bells, or the money i put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
On the house at the end of town
Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called my name

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

Many years since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She always handy with a song
But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland

 ( Dixie Chicken by Lowell George and Martin Kibbee )

THE BIG PICTURE

You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too – “Recently, I was engaged in a deep conversation with an ultra-liberal type. What struck me most during this conversation was how many of these people (assuming this one person represented many) seem unable to grasp a very basic truth: two contradictory ideas cannot exist in the same reality. They can’t have their cake and eat it too. They have to choose. But they typically do not. It was the same pattern every time we came upon diverse views on a particular topic. She eagerly embraced Statement #1 (having the cake), but adamantly rejected the logical consequences of Statement #2 (eating it). This is a serious problem. With this kind of logic, it’s impossible to reach any real conclusion. Having the cake cancels out eating it—and in the end, you’re left with nothing.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Strait of Hormuz Closed Again: This ‘War’ Was/Is a Pre-Plotted Scam – “Arguments about who won and who lost this insane fraud called the ‘Iran War,’ which has never once ended, are asinine to say the least. There are many fools in the Trump camp who insist that ‘we’ won, but these are either main-stream idiots, or worse, many so-called ‘alternative’ sources who are obviously controlled opposition. They would of course call me a “disinformation operative,” all based on ad homonym bull shite. First and foremost, they are all liars, as the only winners in any war are those at the top of the power, financial, and political pyramid, while all others, which includes the entire general population, always lose. That is no different this time around in this fake, staged, and fraudulent ‘Iran war.’” – Gary D. Barnett

Agreements on paper don’t matter much unless they really get oil moving again through the Strait of Hormuz, because that’s what everyone will be monitoring — the number of tankers exiting the strait to carry oil, gas, and other products to market,” he told RFE/RL.” – RFE/RL staff

The Sport of Kings The Great Game and its Ancient Counter – “On April 27th, 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy stood before the American Newspaper Publishers Association and spoke words that would echo through the decades. He spoke of a conspiracy—”a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy,” he called it—that relied not on armies but on infiltration, not on invasion but on subversion, not on elections but on intimidation. He named what he saw with a precision that’s never been improved upon. He saw it. He named it. Publicly. Precisely. Two years and seven months later, he was dead.His brother, five years after that. One death is grief. Two is horror. But when you see the same method deployed against the same kind of person—across three decades, across three continents, inside the families and institutions they built and led—you’re no longer looking at tragedy.

Peace and the Perpetual Persecution Complex – “The Luck of the Non-Irish. Just the other day, President Trumpenstein negotiated a ceasefire with Iran. I guess it’s a peace deal, but they’re calling it a Memorandum of Understanding. You’d think that this would be considered a good thing. Think again. It is a very bad thing, according to every high profile Zionist, who all have raging war boners. Because of this too late and too little gesture of half-assed diplomacy, poor Trumpenstein is in hot water with the non-Irish. They may be changing the Israeli streets named after him as we speak. Perhaps they prefer Rubio Boulevard? After all, Vice President J.D. Vance is now despised by the Zionists as well. I’m not sure what he did. Perhaps they sensed an unsatisfactory level of enthusiasm for this nonsensical war? Maybe he was disgusted at the killing of 150 Iranian girls?” – Donald Jeffries

The “Deal” – “It is hard to make sense of – to believe – that the “deal” supposedly reached between the United States and Iran means the war’s over. It probably means the war is on pause, again. Israel hasn’t agreed to anything, for one – and even if Israel did, Israel’s word is worth about as much as (dare it be said?) Hitler’s, with regard to promises of non-aggression. Peace in our time? Maybe a kind of peace for a couple of weeks. But it all seems to good to be true. Why would the leadership of Iran give up control over the Strait of Hormuz?” – Eric Peters

The First Secretary of War Loses A War – “With the details of the signed Memorandum of Understanding still unclear, it does appear, for all intents and purposes, that the United States has lost the war with Iran. That means Pete Hegseth, the first Secretary of War, has lost a war. As if the US couldn’t look more foolish, the MoU gives the US nothing it wanted when it comes to the military objectives it was pursuing in Iran. The only big “accomplishment” is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but not “toll-free” as US President Donald Trump claimed.” – Mac Slavo

The Iran War Is Dismantling The American Empire – ““Overgrown military establishments” now define the United States. For the U.S., war has little to do with defense and everything to do with feeding an always-hungry war-based economy. Congressmen and senators from both parties are perpetually compelled to satisfy the insatiable lust for money from the public treasury by the military-industrial/surveillance-technocratic establishment in return for generous “contributions” to their re-election campaigns. The annual taxpayer funding for the war profiteers is more than $1.5 trillion. That amounts to 750 military bases in over 80 countries all over the world.” – Chuck Baldwin

The Most Probable Immediate Future in the Middle East Will Satisfy Few – “Thoughts on the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran. Enough of the US Empire’s ruling oligarchy has decided that the Strait of Hormuz must reopen, and remain open, to force Trump to go around Israel and make enough of a deal with Iran to do that thing. Israel will, of course, try its best to sabotage it by inflicting atrocities on Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Iran will eventually retaliate forcibly against Israel. Netanyahu will be inclined to gamble that he can force the US back into the war, but the odds are against him. Chances are Trump, and the AIPAC-dominated Congress, will continue to funnel money and weapons to Israel. The genocidal Zionist bastards will keep massacring Arabs, and Iran will keep pummeling Israel, but the oil and the urea and stuff will continue to flow.” – Ohio Barbarian

Johnson, however, refused to address the fact that the cross burning was actually the work of an anti-Trump liberal student.

The Kevin Warsh Era Begins – “At first, the June announcement from the Federal Open Market Committee that there would be no change in the federal funds rate seemed right in line with Wall Street expectations. This was exactly what Wall Street had priced in weeks ago. On the rate announcement, Wall Street was not disappointed. Then newly-minted Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh opened up his mouth, and it was that moment when the markets started heading south, dropping nearly 600 points over the course of the post-FOMC presser, a performance that surely had former Fed Chairman Jay “Too Little, Too Late” Powell downright jealous.

The market got drunk on Long Island iced tea that day as the stock closed up 183%. That’s some strong tea.

We are either slaves to righteousness or slaves to sin. There is no third option. There can be no middle ground.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Reimagining Jesus as ‘Abortion Doula’ – “Closeted middle-aged lesbian, recreational softball catcher, and “feminist social ethicist,” Rev. Dr. Rebecca Todd Peters somehow got herself put in charge of First Presbyterian Church in Durham, NC. In her appearances evangelizing to her flock, she often can be seen to wear Planned Parenthood paraphernalia while evangelizing about the virtues of abortion. Here she is explaining that, were Jesus Christ around today, he’d spend his time aborting babies at the local clinic and kicking in wicked pro-life protesters’ heads:” – Ben Bartee  – ONE OF THE MANY REASONS PEOPLE NO LONGER GO TO CHURCH. CAN YOU BLAME THEM!!!

Invasion of the Killer Data Centers – “Who controls what data? Data centers are being constructed now on a scale never seen before. These big, beautiful data centers have been described as “foundational to how modern society functions.” And, like so many other nefarious things, they are said to be vital to national security. This would be the same society that is so concerned about national security they left the southern border completely open for decades, and are now hot and heavy to merge our military together with that of another nation. So who is paying for all these data centers? That’s a bit unclear, as you might expect. As always, the Zionist connection is prominent.” – Donald Jeffries

The US Empire is Retrenching, Bringing Imperialism Home – “The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding may be signed already. If it is, 60 days of retrenchment, rejuvenation and rest may be on tap. Donald Trump certainly needs it, and so does the world. Our military footprint in the Gulf and the region has contracted; this will continue. What we just watched over the past 100 days was an unusually vivid moment in the long slow collapse of the US military and financial empire. Conversely, tiny Israel saw its fluid borders expand in all four directions. From this fiasco, paradigmatic and strategic changes to America’s parasitic national security state are coming.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Preparing for the Inevitable – “It looks as if Turkey is gearing up for its inevitable war with Israel: Convening before the Turkish legislature, Erdoğan cast Israel as the architect of a broader scheme to destabilize the Mediterranean, warning that “nobody should chase adventures” or enlist in Israel’s “boat of mischief.” Should any party move against the interests of Turkish nationals or Turkish Cypriots, Erdoğan made plain, Ankara stood ready to deliver a response both clear and strong. Erdoğan added that “Damascus and Beirut are two sister cities of Istanbul. Turkey’s security begins in Aleppo, in Damascus, and in Beirut.” The Turkish president further stated that “we will not tolerate any fait accompli in the lands of our brothers, and we will not turn a blind eye to any attack against our brothers.” He attacked Israel, claiming, “These people and their mercenaries go around throwing so-called threats at Turkey here and there. There is no need for you to say this – we know your intentions and your targets very well. We are fully aware of what the ultimate goal of the ‘Promised Land’ delusion is, and with God’s help, we will never allow it.”” – VOX POPOLI

Silver’s Last Dip Before SYSTEM MELTDOWN? (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “f you hold metal, it’s a short-term pain. If you know what the endgame is, it doesn’t matter how you get there. And the endgame is the currency’s literally melting. The currency is becoming worthless. Banks aren’t functioning. Brokers aren’t functioning. Insurance companies aren’t functioning. Finance is not functioning. When that comes down, I don’t think you’re going to be able to pay your your electric bill with junk silver or any type of silver or any type of gold. But yeah, you’ll be able to use junk silver if you need something fixed at your property. Uh you’ll be able to trade silver with a farmer for eggs or chickens or whatever. So it’s going tobe limited, but you’ll have more possibilities of transacting than if you don’t have silver. You’re not going to be able to pay your mortgage. I mean,everything’s going to stop. The derivatives mountain, the derivatives buildup, the the debt structure is going to freeze. ” – Liberty and Finance

Social Security is officially six years away from running out of money – “Every spring, the US government performs one of its rare acts of radical honesty: the Social Security Board of Trustees publishes an annual report stating, in plain language, exactly when the program will run out of money. It arrives without a press conference and with barely any news coverage — just a few hundred pages of actuarial tables quietly uploaded to a government website. The 2026 edition came out on Tuesday; it is the 86th annual report. And its headline finding is that Social Security’s main retirement trust fund — formally Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, or OASI — is now projected to run out of money in 2032. That’s one year earlier than last year’s projection.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

The Next Inflation Wave Is Almost Here – “I’m less of a trend maker and more of a trend spotter – at least when it comes to the economy.

In this globalized, urbanized existence, the majority of humans are dependent on food, medicine and fuel shipped to them from half a world away. Less than 2% of Americans grow any of the food they themselves. They have not only lost touch with where things come from, how they work and how they are made, but they are often dependent on their mortal enemies to provide them with virtually everything they need to live.” – Cache Valley Prepper

They’re tools made of metals and polymers for propelling projectiles, for projecting force. People commit violence, yet we never hear of “hand violence,” or “foot violence,” or “blunt object violence,” even though those kinds of violence are far more common than that committed with the use of guns, and often as deadly.

The Inflation Reality Check (VIDEO) – “This week, the market got another reminder that inflation is far from defeated. CPI and PPI came in hotter than expected, confirming what most people already feel: the cost of living keeps rising. I have said for years that official inflation numbers often understate reality. Food, energy, insurance, utilities, and healthcare are still moving higher, and for many households, the real inflation rate is much higher than the government number suggests. That puts the Federal Reserve in a difficult position.” – David Morgan

I own some, and I plan to keep owning some. The problem isn’t the metal itself – it’s the timeline most preppers carry in their head.

But back to the peace deal, it should be noted that the provided list of “all parties involved” does not include one party who some would argue is pretty heavily involved…Iran. Perhaps Iran was counted in the “and others” part of the list, but this wouldn’t be the first time the US proposed a deal it thinks Iran can’t refuse, just for Iran to either outright refuse it, or announce that it never received such a peace deal in the first place. It should also be noted that some of the “involved parties” who were listed, like Israel and Pakistan, have confirmed that they had not been informed of any agreement at the time the peace deal was initially announced.” – Molly Schwartz

May PPI: Stagflation Or Just Inflation? – “What Is The Producer Price Index Trying To Tell Us? The May PPI report presents the latest indicator that not only is inflation rising in this country, but also that it is likely to continue to rise for at least a few months more.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Data Just Killed the Soft Landing… Are You Positioned? – “Everyone is calling May an energy story. Iran spiked oil, gasoline ran, and the consensus is telling you to move along because once the geopolitical noise fades, so does the inflation print. That’s not what the data says. CPI hit 4.2% year-over-year in May — fastest annual pace in three years, up from 3.8% in April. Bad enough on its own, but CPI is a lagging measure. It tells you what already happened. The pipeline tells you what’s coming. PPI — wholesale prices, what producers pay before any of it reaches the consumer — rose 1.1% in a single month. The 12-month rate is now 6.5%, highest since November 2022, and it beat Wall Street’s forecast by 57%. Economists penciled in 0.7%. They got 1.1%. The energy excuse doesn’t hold either. Core PPI — strip out food, energy, and trade services entirely — rose 0.8% in May, the largest monthly jump since March 2022. That number has nothing to do with Iran or oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. That’s embedded inflation moving through the production system independent of whatever is happening in the Middle East.” – YOUR ANALYST Graham Summers, MBA

Gold in time of war – “Currencies are debased during and after wars, because government spending goes through the roof not just due to defence spending but also because of the economic consequences. Trading short-term is particularly hazardous. But there is a major benefit for stackers prepared to benefit from an arbitrage between current investment misconceptions about the role of gold and silver, and the reality which always undermines currency values following war.” – Alasdair Macleod

The Stacker’s Field Manual: I Won’t Back or Stack Down – “Tom Petty never owned a silver stack as far as I know, but he understood something every successful stacker eventually learns: if you don’t have conviction, the market will take your metal from you. Every stacker has experienced it. You wake up one morning, check the silver price, and discover that someone dumped a mountain of paper contracts into the futures market at some ungodly hour. Silver is down. Gold is down. The financial media is already explaining why precious metals are finished and why investors should be chasing whatever shiny object Wall Street is promoting this week. The goal isn’t simply to move the price. The goal is to move you. The goal is to convince you that you made a mistake. The goal is to separate you from your metal. That’s where Tom Petty comes in. “Well, I won’t back down. No, I’ll stand my ground.”” – Kerry Lutz
